    摘要:

    目的 建立鳖甲煎丸(BJJP)对胆总管结扎(BDL)诱导的大鼠肝纤维化的治疗作用模型,并研究BJJP缓解氧化三甲胺(TMAO)加重的BDL大鼠肝纤维化分子机制。方法 首先,为建立BJJP改善BDL大鼠肝纤维化模型,30只SD大鼠被随机的分为假手术(Sham)组、胆总管结扎模型(BDL)组、鳖甲煎丸低剂量(BJJP-L)组、鳖甲煎丸中剂量(BJJP-M)组、鳖甲煎丸高剂量(BJJP-H)组,利用Sirius Red染色偏振光图像分析胶原纤维的沉积情况,免疫组织化学染色(IHC)和Western Blot实验检测大鼠肝脏组织中α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)及I型胶原α1链(COL1A1)的表达水平;对Sham组、BDL组、BJJP-H组大鼠粪便进行16S rRNA高通量菌群测序;TMA非靶向代谢组学及TMAO靶向代谢组学技术分别检测Sham组、BDL组、BJJP-H组大鼠粪便中TMA及血清中TMAO含量。然后,为检测BJJP对TMAO加重的肝纤维化的治疗作用及可能分子机制,将20只SD大鼠随机分为Sham组、BDL组、TMAO组、TMAO+BJJP组,通过H E、Masson及Sirius Red染色观察各组大鼠肝脏组织形态学改变;应用Western Blot定量分析各组下列蛋白表达水平,α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)、黄素单氧化酶3(FMO3)、磷酸化(p-)的蛋白激酶B(AKT)、磷酸化(p-)的磷脂酰肌醇激酶3(PI3K)。结果 BDL组大鼠肝脏组织较Sham组胶原纤维、α-SMA蛋白、COL1A1蛋白的表达水平均升高;与BDL组相比,BJJP-L、BJJP-M、BJJP-H组中大鼠的上述指标获得相反的结果。BJJP能够改善BDL大鼠肠道菌群及菌群代谢紊乱,降低粪便中三甲胺(TMA)含量,降低血清中TMAO水平(均P<0.05)。相比于Sham组,BDL组大鼠肝细胞排列紊乱,可见明显肿胀的肝细胞及大量胶原纤维组织,α-SMA、FMO3、p-AKT、p-PI3K蛋白表达增加;相比于BDL组,TMAO组大鼠肝组织中的上述指标进一步增加;相比于TMAO组,TMAO+BJJP组大鼠肝细胞排列层次较齐,胶原纤维沉积减少,α-SMA、FMO3、p-AKT、p-PI3K蛋白表达减少(均P<0.05)。结论 BJJP能够改善BDL大鼠的肝纤维化,TMAO加重BDL大鼠的肝纤维化,BJJP可能通过调节肠道菌群TMAO缓解BDL大鼠的肝纤维化进程。

    Abstract:

    Objective To establish a model to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Biejiajian Pills (BJJP) on bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced liver fibrosis in rats, as well as to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which Biejiajian Pills (BJJP) alleviate trimetlylamineoxide (TMAO)-aggravated liver fibrosis in bile duct ligation (BDL) rats. Methods Firstly, for establishing the therapeutic model of BJJP for BDL-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats, 30 rats were randomly divided into the Sham group, the BDL group, the BJJP-L group, the BJJP-M group, the BJJP-H group. The deposition of collagen fibers was analyzed by polarized light image of Sirius Red staining. Expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type I collagen α1 chain (COL1A1) proteins of liver tissue in each group of rats were detected by Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and Western Blot. Rat feces of the Sham group, the BDL group, the BJJP-H group were collected for 16S rRNA high-throughput microbial sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics analysis. TMA and TMAO levels in rat feces and serum of the Sham group, the BDL group, the BJJP-H group were determined respectively by non-targeted and targeted metabolomics technologies. Then, for evaluating the therapeutic effects of BJJP on TMAO-aggravated hepatic fibrosis and exploring its potential molecular mechanisms, another 20 SD rats were randomly divided into the Sham group, the BDL group, the TMAO group, the TMAO+BJJP group. Changes in histomorphology and collagen fibers of liver tissue in each group of rats were objected by H E, Masson and Sirius Red staining. The expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3), phosphorylated (p-) protein kinase B (AKT), and phosphorylated (p-) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in each group were quantitatively analyzed by Western Blot. Results Compared with the Sham group, the expression of α-SMA and COL1A1 protein of the BDL group were increased in the liver tissue. Compared with the BDL group, the results of BJJP-L, BJJP-M and BJJP-H group were opposite. BJJP could improve the intestinal flora and metabolic disorders of BDL rats, reduce the content of trimethylamine (TMA) in feces, and reduce serum TMAO levels in rats (all P<0.05). Compared with the Sham group, the BDL group exhibited disorganized hepatic cord arrangement, evident hepatocyte swelling, and extensive collagen fiber deposition, along with up-regulated protein expression of α-SMA, FMO3, p-AKT, and p-PI3K (all P<0.05). Conclusions BJJP can improve hepatic fibrosis of BDL rats, TMAO can aggravate hepatic fibrosis of BDL rats. BJJP may alleviate the hepatic fibrosis process of BDL rats by regulating intestinal flora TMAO.
