Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of ferroptosis on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in diabetic rats model.Methods:Forty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group (Sham), hepatic ischemia reperfusion group (HIRI), diabetes mellitus group (DM), diabetes mellitus + hepatic ischemia reperfusion group (DM+ HIRI). The diabetic rat model was established by feeding the rats with high-fat and high-sugar feed for four consecutive weeks combined with intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg 1% streptozotocin, and on this basis, the hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury model was established by local hepatic blood flow occlusion. ELISA assay was used to detect insulin content, liver function and serum lipid metabolism biomarkers. Chemiluminescence method was used to detect liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and lipoxygenase (LOX-1) contents. HE staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes of liver tissue structure, and Western blotting was used to detect the ferroptosis-related protein expression of ACSL4 and GPX4.Results:Compared with Sham group, the level of fasting blood glucose, insulin, insulin resistance index, serum TC, TG and liver PUFA content of DM group were increased significantly ( P<0.05), HE staining showed there were a large number of fatty degeneration of hepatocytes in DM group, and extensive ballooning and necrosis of hepatocytes in DM+ HIRI group. Compared with HIRI group, level of serum TC, TG, ALT, AST and the liver PUFA and LOX-1 in DM+ HIRI group were significantly increased [TC (5.87±0.76) vs (1.34±0.2) mmol/L, TG (2.93±0.47) vs (0.71±0.34) mmol/L, ALT (339.5±40.09) vs (155.17±18.53) U/L, AST (325.50±37.52) vs (102.39±22.68) U/L, PUFA (21.58±3.01) vs (8.12±0.94) mg/g, LOX-1 (200.81±26.03) vs (73.34±10.66) U/m ] ( P<0.05). Compared with HIRI group, the protein expression of ACSL4 in DM+ HIRI group was up-regulated [(0.46±0.06) vs (1.02±0.11)], while the expression of GPX4 was down-regulated [(0.43±0.07) vs (0.14±0.02)] significantly ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The tolerance of DM rats to hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury was significantly reduced, which may be related to hepatic abnormal lipid metabolism and ferroptosis.
