中文摘要: 目的 基于AMP活化蛋白激酶/哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白/UNC-51样激酶1(AMPK/mTOR/ULK1)自噬信号通路,探讨祛湿活血方改善代谢相关脂肪性肝病(MAFLD)的作用机制。方法取雄性C57BL/6J小鼠,分为正常组、模型组和祛湿活血方低、中、高剂量组[4.10、8.20、16.40mg/(g·d)],每组10只。除正常组外,其余各组小鼠采用高脂饲料喂养12周建立MAFLD模型。造模完成后24h开始,各组小鼠每日给予相应药液或生理盐水干预,每日1次,持续干预6周。按照试剂盒说明书检测血清总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)水平;采用HE染色、油红O染色观察小鼠肝组织病理变化;采用Westernblot、免疫荧光染色法检测小鼠AMPK/mTOR/ULK1自噬信号通路相关蛋白表达及蛋白阳性表达情况。结果与正常组相比,模型组小鼠血清TC、TG、ALT、AST及LDL-C水平均显著升高,HDL-C水平显著下降(P<0.01);HE染色可见模型组肝细胞出现明显脂肪变性,油红O染色显示小鼠肝组织内有大量脂滴堆积;Westernblot和免疫荧光染色结果显示,模型组小鼠肝组织中p-mTOR/mTOR、p62蛋白表达水平以及p-mTOR、p62蛋白的相对荧光强度均显著升高/增强(P<0.01),p-AMPK/AMPK、ULK1、微管相关蛋白1轻链3Ⅱ(LC3Ⅱ)蛋白表达水平以及p-AMPK、LC3蛋白的相对荧光强度均显著降低/减弱(P<0.01)。经祛湿活血方干预后,祛湿活血方低、中、高剂量组小鼠上述肝组织病理改变和异常指标均得到显著逆转,大部分指标差异有统计学意义(P<0.05或P<0.01)。结论祛湿活血方可显著改善MAFLD模型小鼠的肝脏病理形态、血脂水平与肝功能,该改善作用可能通过激活AMPK/mTOR/ULK1自噬信号通路实现。
英文摘要: OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Qushi huoxue decoction in improving metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) based on the AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin/UNC-51-like kinase 1 (AMPK/mTOR/ULK1) autophagy signaling pathway.METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Qushi huoxue decoction groups [4.10, 8.20, 16.40 mg/(g·d)], with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group, mice in the other groups were fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to establish the MAFLD model. Starting 24 hours after modeling, mice in each group were administered the drug solution or normal saline once daily for 6 consecutive weeks. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected according to the kit instructions. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O staining were used to observe pathological changes in mouse liver tissue. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expression and positive protein expression related to the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 autophagy signaling pathway.RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the serum levels of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and LDL-C in the model group were significantly increased, while the HDL-C level was significantly decreased ( P <0.01). HE staining showed obvious steatosis in hepatocytes of the model group, and oil red O staining showed a large amount of lipid droplet accumulation in liver tissue. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining results showed that the expression levels of p-mTOR/mTOR and p62 proteins, as well as the relative fluorescence intensities of p-mTOR and p62 proteins in liver tissue of the model group, were significantly increased/enhanced ( P <0.01), while the expression levels of p-AMPK/AMPK, ULK1, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ) proteins, as well as the relative fluorescence intensities of p-AMPK and LC3 proteins, were significantly decreased/weakened ( P <0.01). After intervention with Qushi huoxue decoction, the above pathological changes and abnormal indicators in liver tissue of mice in the low-, medium-, and high-dose groups were significantly reversed, with most indicators showing statistically significant differences ( P <0.05 or P <0.01).CONCLUSIONS Qushi huoxue decoction can significantly improve liver pathology, blood lipid levels, and liver function in MAFLD model mice; this improvement may be achieved through the activation of the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 autophagy signaling pathway.
