- Abstract: Aim To study the role of diosmetin ( Dio) in liver ischemia/reperfusion and its possible mecha-nism.Methods Thirty-two mice were randomly di¬vided into sham group, I/R group, low-dose Dio group and high-dose Dio group, with 8 mice in each group.The I/R group received liver I/R surgery, and the sham group performed sham surgery.The low- and high-dose Dio groups received intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg • kg ~1 and 40 mg • kg ~1 Dio at 30 min before liver I/R, respectively.Blood and liver samples were collected at 24 h after reperfusion.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin ( IL)-ip, 1L-6, lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH ) and aspartate transaminase ( AST) in serum.Hie levels of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , reactive oxygen species ( ROS) , reduced glutathione (GSH) and total bilirubin (TBIL) in liver homogenate were measured.HE staining was used to observe liver injury.Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of IL-ip in liver tis¬sues.Western blot was used to detect the expression of cleaved-c a spa se-3 , p-NF-kb p65 and p-p38 proteins in liver tissues.Results Compared with sham group, the degree of liver injury in I/R group significantly in¬creased , and the levels of 1L-1 (3, 1L-6, LDH and AST in serum, MDA, ROS and cleaved-caspase-3, p-NF- kb p65 and p-p38 proteins in liver tissues markedly in¬creased ; however, the levels of GSH and TB1L signifi¬cantly decreased, and the differences in the above in¬dexes were statistically significant.Compared with I/R group, the above indexes in low- and high-dose Dio groups were significantly improved, and the effect of high-dose group was better than that of low-dose group.Conclusions Dio pretreatment can reduce liver I/R injury, which may be related to the reduction of oxida¬tive stress and inflammation-related pathways induced by liver I/R.
