Danggui Shaoyao San ameliorates the lipid metabolism via the PPAR signaling pathway in a Danio rerio (zebrafish) model of hyperlipidemia - 11/11/23
Abstract |
The escalating prevalence of hyperlipidemia has a profound impact on individuals' daily physiological well-being. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription Danggui Shaoyao San (DSS) has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy and promising prospects for clinical application. Leveraging network pharmacology and bioinformatics, we hypothesize that DSS can ameliorate lipid metabolic disorders in hyperlipidemia by modulating the PPAR signaling pathway. In this study, we employed a zebrafish model to investigate the impact of DSS on lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia. Body weight alterations were monitored by pre- and postmodeling weight measurements. Behavioral assessments and quantification of liver biochemical markers were conducted using relevant assay kits. Pathways associated with lipid metabolism were identified through network pharmacology and GEO analysis, while PCR was utilized to assess genes linked to lipid metabolism. Western blotting was employed to analyze protein expression levels, and liver tissue underwent Oil Red O and immunofluorescence staining to evaluate liver lipid deposition. Our findings demonstrate that DSS effectively impedes weight gain and reduces liver lipid accumulation in zebrafish models with elevated lipid levels. The therapeutic effects of DSS on lipid metabolism are mediated through its modulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, resulting in a significant reduction in lipid accumulation within the body and alleviation of certain hyperlipidemia-associated symptoms.
