Highlights |
• | Rhodiola crenulata root ameliorates fructose induced hepatic steatosis. |
• | Rhodiola crenulata root may activate hepatic autophagy in fructose-fed rats. |
• | Rhodiola crenulata root may promote hepatic autophagosome formation and degradation in fructose-fed rats. |
Abstract |
Background |
Increasing evidence has shown the beneficial effects of Rhodiola species on metabolic disorders, but their mechanisms are not clear. Hepatic steatosis is closely related to metabolic disorders, we aim to investigate the therapeutic effects of Rhodiola crenulata root (RCR) on fructose-induced hepatic steatosis and explore the underlying mechanisms.
Purpose |
To observe the effect of Rhodiola crenulata root extract (RCR) on fructose-induced hepatic steatosis in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods |
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with liquid fructose in their drinking water over 18 weeks. The extract of RCR was co-administered (once daily by oral gavage) during the last 5 weeks. Liver lipid deposition and morphological changes were observed by Oil red O staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, Western blot and immunoprecipitation were used to detect gene and protein expression in liver.
Results |
RCR (50 mg/kg) reversed liquid fructose-induced increase in hepatic triglyceride content in rats. Attenuation of the increased vacuolization and Oil Red O staining area was evident on histological examination of liver in RCR-treated rats. However, RCR treatment did not affect chow intake and body weight of rats. Although some genes of the pathways involved in DNL (ChREBP, SREBP-1c, FAS, ACC1, SCD1, DGAT1, DGAT2 and MGAT2), fatty acid β-oxidation (PPARα, CPT1a, ACO and FGF21), VLDL-export (MTTP) and decomposition (HSL, ATGL) in the liver of fructose-fed rats were not changed significantly after RCR administration, the decrease in PPARα and PGC-1α proteins was reversed by RCR. Notably, SIRT1 mRNA and protein expression increased significantly with RCR administration. Furthermore, RCR increased expression of ATG4B, Beclin1 and decreased expression of Bcl2-Beclin1 complex dramatically. Meanwhile, RCR decreased the acetylation of beclin1. Moreover, RCR increased expression of autophagosome markers including LC3B and ATG5-ATG12-ATG16L1, and decreased expression of autophagolysosome marker p62 in the livers of fructose-fed rats.
Conclusions |
RCR has a certain improvement effect on fructose-induced hepatic steatosis, which is related to the activation of autophagy.
