Exploration on inhibitory effect of Jianpi Huatan Formula on "inflammation-cancer transformation" in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on LPL/CPT1/FABP4 pathway
Formula on "inflammation-cancer transformation" in a mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease based on the lipoprotein lipase (LPL)/carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1)/fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) pathway.
Methods
2
According to the random table method
30 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group
model group
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low-dose group (19.2 g/kg)
Jianpi Huatan
Formula high-dose group (38.4 g/kg)
and ezetimibe group (10.0 mg/kg)
six mice in each group. Except for the control group
mice in the other groups were injected intraperitoneally with diethylnitrosamine (25 mg/kg). After 4 weeks
except for the control group
mice in the other groups were fed with a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet for 26 weeks to establish the non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-related hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC) model. The treatment was administered once daily for 26 weeks. The number of liver tumors and the maximum tumor surface area were compared among the groups. HE staining and oil red O staining were used to observe liver inflammation
steatosis
and ballooning. The content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in liver was determined by ELISA. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
cholesterol (TC)
triglyceride (TG)
low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were measured by a biochemical analyzer. The mRNA levels of tumor-related markers such as Birc5
Ly6d
CD44
and Mki67 in liver were determined by real-time PCR. The protein expression levels of LPL
CPT1
and FABP4 in the liver of each group of mice were measured by Western blotting.
Results
2
Compared with the control group
mice in the model group showed tumors in the liver
elevated mRNA levels of Ly6d
Birc5
CD44
and Mki67
obvious liver damage
severe steatosis and ballooning
large amounts of lipid droplet accumulation in the liver
significantly elevated serum ALT
serum AST
and hepatic TNF-α levels
elevated levels of serum TC
TG
LDL
and HDL
and elevated protein expression levels of LPL
CPT1B
and FABP4 in the liver (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group
the mRNA expression of Birc5 was reduced in the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low-dose group and the ezetimibe group(
P
<
0.05); liver injury was alleviated to varying degrees in the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low- and high-dose groups and the ezetimibe group
as evidenced by a decrease in steatosis and ballooning
a decrease in lipid droplet accumulation
and a decrease in the hepatic inflammatory factor TNF-α (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group
serum TC
TG
LDL
and HDL levels were decreased in the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low-dose group and the ezetimibe group (
P
<
0.05); and compared with the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low-dose group
serum TC
LDL
and HDL levels were significantly decreased in the ezetimibe group (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group
the protein expression levels of CPT1B and FABP4 were decreased in the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula low-dose group
and the protein expression levels of LPL and FABP4 were decreased in the
Jianpi Huatan
Formula high-dose group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Jianpi Huatan
Formula may exert anti-NASH-HCC effects by regulating the LPL/CPT1/FABP4 lipid metabolism signaling pathway
promoting the breakdown of TC and TG
improving liver tissue steatosis and its inflammatory damage in model mice
and further inhibiting tumor development.
