Study on the Prevention Mechanism of Anti-tuberculosis Drug-induced Liver Injury with Orazamide Based on HMGB1-RAGE Signaling Pathway / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To prelimi narily investigate the possible mechanism of orazamide to prevent anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury （ATB-DILI）. METHODS ：A total of 60 Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank group ，model group，positive control group [diammonium glycyrrhizinate 60 mg/（kg·d）]，orazamide low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose groups [ 80，160，320 mg/（kg·d）]，with 10 mice in each group. Except for blank group ，other groups were given isoniazid [ 75 mg/（kg·d）]+rifampicin [ 75 mg/（kg·d）] for 14 days intragastrically to induce ATB-DILI model. At the same time ，administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，blank group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically. The administration volume was 20 mL/（kg·d），once a day ，for consecutive 14 days. The general conditions of the mice were observed and recorded every day ，such as growth and development ，mental and diet state. After last medication ，liver index was calculated ， and HE staining was adopted to observe pathological changes of liver tissue of mice. The positive expression of high mobility group protein B 1 （HMGB1） and NF-κ B in liver tissue were detected by streptavidin biotin-peroxidase complex （SABC） immuno- histochemistry. The serum levels of liver function indexes in serum ，the protein expression of advanced glycation end product receptor（RAGE）and TNF-α in liver tissue were detected by ELISA. RESULTS：Compared with blank group ，the growth and development of mice in the model group were slow ，and their appetite and spirit were poor. The liver index ，serum levels of TBIL ， DBIL，ALT，AST，ALP，TBA and γ-GT were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Structural disorder of liver lobules ，degeneration and necrosis of liver cells and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. The expression of HMGB 1，NF-κB，RAGE and TNF-α in liver tissue were elevated significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group ，the general condition of mice were all improved to different extents in orazamide low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose groups ，positive control group ，while liver index and above serum indexes were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. The pathological changes of liver tissue were all improved to different extents ，while the protein expression of HMGB 1，NF-κB，RAGE and TNF-α were all decreased significantly（P＜0.05）. The improvement of above indexes in orazamide high-dose group were all significantly better than orazamide low-dose and medium-dose groups （P＜0.05）；the levels of ALP and TBA in orazamide high-dose group were significantly lower than positive control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Orazamide can prevent ATB-DILI induced by isoniazid combined with rifampicin in mice，the mechanism of which may be associated with down-regulating the protein expression of HMGB 1 and RAGE in liver tissue and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors.
