摘要:
目的:研究祛湿化瘀方对高脂饮食诱导的大鼠脂肪肝AMPK蛋白活性及其相关脂肪代谢靶蛋白活性的影响,以探讨该方防治实验性脂肪肝的作用机制。方法:采用高脂饲料饮食诱导大鼠脂肪肝模型,造模大鼠给予高脂饮食4周后,按随机数字表随机分为模型组及祛湿化瘀方组,分别灌胃给予饮用水及中药祛湿化瘀方4周。实验8周末取材后观察:1)肝组织三酰甘油(Triglyceride,TG)、游离脂肪酸(Free Fatty Acid,FFA)含量,2)肝组织病理变化(HE染色、油红染色),3)肝组织腺苷酸活化的蛋白激酶(AMP-Activated K inase,AMPK)及磷酸化AMPK、肝组织总蛋白及核蛋白固醇调节元件结合蛋白-1c(Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein-1c、SREBP-1c)、肝组织总蛋白及核蛋白碳水化合物反应元件结合蛋白(Carbohydrate Response Element Binding Protein、ChREBP)含量、肝组织乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(Acety1 CoA Carboxylase,ACCase)及磷酸化ACC蛋白含量,4)肝组织AMPKα1、AMPKα2、SREBP-1、ACCα、SREBP-1c及ChREBP基因表达水平。结果:1)模型组肝组织TG、FFA含量显著升高,肝组织出现明显大泡样脂肪变性;模型组肝组织AMPK蛋白磷酸化水平降低、核蛋白SREBP-1与ChREBP表达增加、ACC蛋白磷酸化水平降低蛋白活性升高。2)祛湿化瘀方组肝组织TG、FFA含量较模型组显著降低,肝组织炎症及脂肪变性程度减轻;祛湿化瘀方能显著升高肝组织AMPK、ACC蛋白磷酸化水平、降低核蛋白SREBP-1及ChREBP含量。结论:祛湿化瘀方通过调节AMPK活性及其相关靶蛋白活性改善高脂饮食诱导的大鼠脂肪肝肝脂肪代谢,这可能是该方有效防治实验性脂肪肝的重要作用机制之一。
Abstract:
The present study was conducted to investigate whether Qushi Huayu Decoction (QHD) could inhibit hepatic lipid accumulation by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in experimental fatty liver of rats. Methods: Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) model was duplicated with high-fat diet in rats. Results: QHD significantly decreased the accumulation of fatty droplets in livers, lowered triglyceride (TG) and free fatty acid (FFA). Moreover, QHD supplementation reversed the HFD-induced decrease in the phosphorylation levels of AMPK and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and decreased hepatic nuclear protein expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) and carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP) in the liver. Conclusion: QHD has significant effect on inhibiting hepatic lipid accumulation via AMPK pathway in vivo.
