Effect of Guanxinkang on expression of proteins related to MAPKs/NF⁃κB signal pathway in liver tissue of LDLR-/-mice with atherosclerosis
Objective,2,To observe the effect of Guanxinkang (GXK) on the expression of proteins related to MAPKs/NF-κB signal pathway in the liver tissue of LDLR,-/-, mice.,Methods,2,Twenty-four male LDLR,-/-, mice were randomly divided into model group, GXK low, medium and high dose groups, and C57BL/6J mice were used as the control group. Except for the control group, each group was given high-fat feed for 12 weeks. The control group and the model group were given 200 μL of 0.9% NaCl solution daily. The GXK low, medium and high dose groups were given 7.24 g/kg, 14.48 g/kg, 28.96 g/kg of Chinese medicine decoction, 200 μL daily for 12 weeks. The serum levels of TC, TG, ALT and AST were detected by biochemical assay; the plaque area was observed by oil red O staining; the liver tissue structure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining; the expressions of Erk1/2, P38, JNK, IκB, NF-κB proteins were determined by Western blot; the mRNA and contents of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA respectively; and the expression of TNF-α was observed by immunofluorescence.,Results,2,Compared with the model group, the levels of serum TC, TG, ALT and AST were decreased in each dose group of GXK (,P,<,0.05); the area of aortic plaques was reduced and pathological changes in the liver tissue were improved. And the phosphorylation level of Erk1/2, P38, JNK, IκB, and NF-κB protein in liver tissue was decreased in GXK groups (,P,<,0.05). The expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α mRNA in the liver tissue were down-regulated in GXK groups (,P,<,0.05). The contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were decreased (,P,<,0.05) and the expression of TNF- α in liver tissue was reduced.,Conclusion,2,GXK can reduce liver inflammation and improve atherosclerosis in LDLR,-/-, mice by inhibiting MAPKs/ NF-κB signal pathway.
