目的 探讨火棘多糖对四氯化碳(CCI_4)所致大鼠肝损伤的保护作用。方法 将50只Wistar大鼠随机分为5组:对照组,CCI_4模型组,联苯双酯(BP)组,火棘多糖200、400 mg/kg组。对照组大鼠中腹膜下注射橄榄油,其余各组大鼠腹膜下注射30%CCI_4,联苯双酯组、火棘多糖组分别灌胃BP 200 mg/kg,火棘多糖200、400 mg/kg。5周后,测定血清中丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)及天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)含量;检测肝组织中丙二醛、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)含量及总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)活性;用real time PCR检测大鼠肝组织中核因子相关因子2(Nrf2)及过氧化氢酶(CAT)mRNA表达变化。结果 与CCI_4模型组大鼠血清ALT、AST含量[(521.42±68.21)、(589.17±39.44)U/L]比较,火棘多糖200、400 mg/kg组大鼠血清ALT、AST含量[分别为(221.13±28.46)、(190.31±27.32)与(286.4±31.57)、(224.6±30.52)U/L]明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);与CCI_4模型组大鼠肝组织中丙二醛含量[(32.14±3.26)nmol/mg pro]比较,火棘多糖200、400 mg/kg组大鼠肝组织中丙二醛含量[分别为(23.29±4.38)、(18.67±3.28)nmol/mg pro]明显降低,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);与CCI_4模型组大鼠肝组织中T-AOC活性[(73.15±9.23)U/m L]比较,火棘多糖200、400 mg/kg组大鼠肝组织中T-AOC活性[分别为(106.32±14.23)、(152.31±16.12)U/m L]明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);real time PCR结果显示,与CCI_4模型组比较,火棘多糖组大鼠肝组织中Nrf2及CAT mRNA表达水平增加。结论 火棘多糖对CCI_4所致大鼠肝损伤具有保护作用,其机制可能与火棘多糖可提高大鼠抗氧化能力有关。
Objective To study hepatoprotective effect of Pyracantha fortuneana polysaccharides on liver injury in- duced by carbon tetrachloride ( CC[4 ) in rats. Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups : con- trol group, CCI4 group, biphenyldicarboxylate pills (BP) group, and 200 and 400 mg/kg Pyracantha fortuneana polysac- charides groups. The rats of control group were given olive oil by intraperitoneal injection (IP) and those of other groups were given 30% CCI4 by IP,respectively. The rats of BP group were given BP (200 mg/kg) by gavage and the rats of Pyracantha fortuneana polysaccharides groups were given Pyracantha fortuneana polysaccharides of 200 and 400 mg/kg by gavage, respectively. Five weeks after the treatments, the contents of serum alanine transferase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were determined; the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the activity of total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC) in liver were measured. The mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) and catalase (CAT) were detected with real time PCR. Results The serum ALT (221.13 ±28.46 and 190. 31 ±7. 32 U/L) and AST (286.4 ±1.57 and 224. 6 ±0. 52 U/L) decreased remark- ably in the rats of 200 and 400 mg/kg Pyracantha fortuneana polysaccharides groups compared to those of the rats in CCI4 group (521.42 ±68.21 and 589. 17 ±39.44 U/L) ( all P 〈 0. 05 ). The MDA (23.29 ± 4. 38 and 18.67 ±3.28 nmol/mg pro) in liver of the rats of 200 and 400 mg/kg Pyracantha fortuneana polysacchafides groups decreased re- markably compared to that of rats in the CCI4 group (both P 〈0. 05). The T-AOC (106. 32 ±14. 23 and 152. 31 ±16. 12 U/mL) in liver of the rats in 200 and 400 mg/kg Pyracantha fortuneana polysaccharides groups increased significantly compared to that ( 73.15 ± 9. 23 U/mL) of the rats in CCI4 group ( both P 〈 0. 05 ). The mRNA expression levels of Nrf2 a
