Abstract:
Objective:To study the protective effect and mechanism of Ranae Oviductus protein hydrolysate (ROPH) on the expression of pathway-related proteins in ethanol-induced L-02 cell injury. Method:The ROPH was prepared by compound enzymatic hydrolysis. L-02 cell injury model was induced with 400 mmol·L-1 ethanol. Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis were examined by flow cytometry. JC-1/Hochest staining was employed for qualitative investigation. The expression of related proteins in apoptosis, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and pyroptosis in L-02 cells was detected by Western blot. Result:The results of the CCK-8 assay showed that 400 mmol·L-1 ethanol could induce L-02 cell injury within 12 hours. Compared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased viability of L-02 cells (P<0.01), elevated percentage of the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase (P<0.01), increased total cell apoptosis rate (P<0.01), reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (P<0.01), up-regulated expression of apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (Bax), Cytochrome C (Cyt C), and cysteine-dependent aspartate specific protease-3 (Caspase-3)] (P<0.05, P<0.01) and MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins [C-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAPK] (P<0.05, P<0.01), and potentiated expression of pyrolysis-related proteins Caspase-1 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the ROPH treatment group exhibited improved cell cycle arrest (P<0.05, P<0.01), diminished total cell apoptosis rate (P<0.01), elevated mitochondrial membrane potential in a dose-dependent manner, down-regulated expression of Bax, Cyt C, and Caspase-3 proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01), up-regulated expression of Bcl-2 protein (P<0.05, P<0.01), and a downward trend in expression of proteins related to MAPK signaling pathway and pyrolysis (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion:ROPH could inhibit oxidative stress-triggered liver injury in ethanol-induced cells by improving mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing the expression of proteins in the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway, and inhibiting the expression of proteins related to the MAPK signaling pathway and pyrolysis pathway to reduce the mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory response in ethanol-induced L-02 liver cells and inhibit oxidative stress, thereby exerting a therapeutic role in alcoholic liver injury.
