Abstract:
:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by excessive accumulation of hepatic lipids and oxidative injury of hepatocytes. Scutellarin is a flavonoid glycoside having antioxidative stress activity. Our current study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of scutellarin ameliorating NAFLD. Scutellarin treatment was applied to male C57BL/6 mice maintained on a high-fat diet (HFD) and HepG2 cells challenged with oleic acid. The antioxidation biochemical indicators and lipid levels in the liver and cells were detected by kits. Liver pathology was observed by light microscope, Oil Red O staining, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). In addition, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR) and western blot assays were employed to detect the mRNA and protein levels of various antioxidative-related genes in the presence or absence of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ); inhibitor GW9662. Our results showed that scutellarin could significantly reduce blood lipid levels and enhance antioxidative capacities in both the models. In addition, scutellarin treatment conspicuously activated PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α), nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor (Nrf2), haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase one (NQO1), while it significantly inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) at both the mRNA and protein levels. However, after interfered by GW9662, scutellarin effect was significantly decreased. The experimental data demonstrated that scutellarin showed strong hypolipidaemic, antioxidative, and liver protective activity which could be attributed to its regulating activity in the PPARγ/PGC-1α-Nrf2 signaling pathway.
