摘要:
目的:基于健脾化痰法研究四君子汤合三子养亲汤(SJZ+SZ)对早期和进展期阶段小鼠代谢相关 脂肪性肝病 (MASLD) 的作用及部分机制。方法:采用Gubra-Amylin NASH (GAN) 饮食饲养C57BL/6J小鼠 建立代谢相关脂肪肝(MASL)模型,分别用SJZ、SZ及SJZ+SZ灌胃干预4周。另外用高脂饲料联合高果糖/葡 萄糖饮水诱导C57BL/6J小鼠建立代谢相关脂肪性肝炎 (MASH) 模型,用SZ、SJZ+SZ灌胃干预8周(由于在 MASL小鼠实验中,SJZ在MASL模型中几无疗效,故不再对MASH小鼠设立SJZ组)。记录小鼠体质量、肝质量, 观察小鼠肝组织病理变化,检测肝脂以及血清转氨酶、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)水平,采用蛋白质免疫印迹法 检测肝组织炎症和纤维化相关分子水平。检测计算各组小鼠胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR),并用蛋白质免疫印迹 法和RT-qPCR法检测肝组织IRS1/Akt活化及脂质合成相关分子的表达水平。结果:对于MASL小鼠模型,SJZ+ SZ和SZ均使模型小鼠肝组织脂肪变性程度减轻,下调肝组织甘油三酯 (TG) 和血清转氨酶水平 ( P <0.05), SJZ对小鼠MASL无明显改善作用( P >0.05)。在MASH模型小鼠实验中,SJZ/SZ均能明显减轻MASH小鼠体质 量、肝质量和肝组织病理损伤 ( P <0.05),降低肝组织TG含量和血清转氨酶、TNF-α水平 ( P <0.05),逆转 肝组织炎症因子 (白细胞介素-1β、肿瘤坏死因子-α、白细胞介素-10) 和纤维化相关分子 (转化生长因子- β 1 、α-平滑肌肌动蛋白、Ⅰ型胶原蛋白-α1) 的表达水平 ( P <0.05);SZ对MASH小鼠上述指标效果不明显 ( P >0.05)。此外,SJZ+SZ显著下调MASH小鼠升高的血糖、胰岛素水平与HOMA-IR( P <0.05),逆转模型小 鼠肝组织中下调的胰岛素受体底物1、苏氨酸蛋白激酶、乙酰辅酶A羧化酶磷酸化水平( P <0.05),并抑制脂 质合成相关分子胆固醇调节元件结合蛋白1c、脂肪酸合酶的表达水平 ( P <0.05);SZ对这些指标仅有下调趋 势( P >0.05)。结论:SJZ对小鼠MASLD无明显作用,SZ仅对程度较轻的MASLD起到一定的改善作用,SJZ+ SZ对不同程度的小鼠MASLD均有改善作用,调控胰岛素抵抗是其部分作用机制。
Abstract:
Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Sijunzi Decoction combined with Sanzi Yangqin Decoction(SJZ+SZ)on early and advanced stages of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)in mice,based on the method of fortifying the spleen and dissolving phlegm. Methods:The Gubra-Amylin NASH(GAN)diet was used to induce MASL in C57BL/6J mice. Mice were then treated with SJZ,SZ,or SJZ+SZ via gavage for four weeks. Additionally,metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis(MASH)was induced in C57BL/ 6J mice using a high-fat diet and high-fructose/glucose drinking water. These mice were treated with SZ or SJZ+SZ via gavage for eight weeks(since SJZ showed no significant effect in the MASL model,no SJZ group was set for the MASH model). Mouse body weight and liver weight were recorded;liver tissue pathology was observed;hepatic lipid levels and serum transaminases,as well as tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels,were measured. Western Blot was used to detect the expression levels of inflammation and fibrosis-related molecules in liver tissue. The insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)was calculated for each group of mice, and the expression levels of IRS1 / Akt activation and lipid synthesis-related molecules in liver tissue were detected using Western Blot and RT-qPCR. Results:In the MASL mouse model,both SJZ+SZ and SZ reduced the degree of hepatic steatosis,decreased hepatic triglyceride(TG)levels and serum transaminase levels in model mice(P<0.05),while SJZ showed no significant improvement in MASL(P> 0.05). In the MASH model mice experiment,SJZ or SZ significantly reduced body weight,liver weight,and liver tissue pathological damage in MASH mice(P<0.05),decreased hepatic TG content and serum transaminase and TNF- α levels(P<0.05), and reversed the expression levels of inflammatory factors(interleukin-1β, TNF - α, and interleukin-10)and fibrosis-related molecules(transforming growth factor-β 1 ,α-smooth muscle actin,and type Ⅰ collagen α1)in liver tissue(P<0.05);the SZ had no significant effect on these indicators in MASH mice(P>0.05). Additionally, SJZ + SZ significantly downregulated the elevated blood glucose, insulin levels, and HOMA-IR in MASH mice(P<0.05),reversed the downregulated levels of insulin receptor substrate 1,threonine protein kinase, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation in liver tissue of model mice(P<0.05),and inhibited the expression of lipid synthesis-related molecules,including sterol regulatory element-binding protein1c,and fatty acid synthase(P< 0.05);SZ only showed a downward trend in these indicators(P>0.05). Conclusion:The SJZ had no significant effect on MASLD in mice. SZ only improved MASLD to a certain extent in the less severe cases. The SJZ+SZ improved MASLD in mice at different stages,with insulin resistance regulation being part of its mechanism of action.
