AIM: To investigate the mechanisms of augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) in promoting damaged hepatocyte proliferation.METHODS: The effects of Kupffer cell condition medium (KCCM+) stimulated by ALR on damaged hepatocyte proliferation were studied by MTT. The localization of ALR binding to Kupffer cell membrane and in intact rat liver was studied by immunohistochemistry. The IL-6 expression in Kupffer cells stimulated with ALR was observed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The proliferation of damaged hepatocytes stimulated with KCCM+ was increased significantly. ALR immunostaining particles in plasm of hepatocyte were found in intact liver. The rough immunostaining particles of ALR were seen on the surface of Kupffer cell membrane. Immunostaining particles of IL-6 in Kupffer cells induced by ALR increased. CONCLUSION: ALR promotes proliferation of damaged hepatocytes indirectly by stimulating Kupffer cells.

Objective To investigate the modulation of ET-3 on the nuclear factor (NF)-κB/Bfl-1 antiapoptotic pathway in a malignant melanoma cell line A375. Methods Flow cytometry was performed to detect the apoptosis in cultured A375 cells after treatment with ET-3 of 100 nmol/L for 24 hours. ET-3 of various concentrations (0, 1, 10, 100 nmol/L) was used to treat some A375 cells with or without the pretreatment with the ETRB antagonist BQ788; after another 24-hour culture, RT-PCR and Western blot were conducted to examine the mRNA expression of Bfl-1 and protein expressions of Bfl-1 and ETRB, respectively. Results The 24-hour treatment with ET-3 of 100 nmol/L significantly reduced the apoptosis rate of A375 cells (F = 10.68, P <0.05). The mRNA and protein expressions of Bfl-1 were up-regulated by ET-3 in a concentration dependent manner (both P < 0.01 ), while BQ788 significantly blocked the ET-3-induced up-regulation (F = 420.38,229.49, both P < 0.01 ). The protein expression of pNF-κB in A375 cells was also enhanced by ET-3 of different concentrations (all P < 0.05), but the enhancement was suppressed by BQ788, and there was a significant difference in the protein expression of pNF-κB between cells treated with ET-3 of 100 nmol/L and those treated with the combination of ET-3 of 100 nmol/L and BQ788 (F = 255.46, P < 0.01 ). Conclusion ET-3/ETRB inhibits the apoptosis in A375 cells likely by activating the NF-κB/Bfl-1 anti-apoptotic pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and possible mechanism of Phyllanthus emblica water extracts on lipid metabolism disorder and insulin resistance (IR) in diabetic model rats. METHODS IR model of male SD rats was established and randomly divided into model group, positive control group, P. emblica water extracts high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups, and another blank group was set up, with 10 rats in each group. P. emblica water extracts high-dose, medium- dose and low-dose groups were given P. emblica water extract diluent at the doses of 800, 400 and 200 mg/kg respectively; positive control group was given pioglitazone solution 2.7 mg/kg; blank group and model group were given the same volume of normal saline, by intragastrical administration, once a day, for consecutive 4 weeks. The general state of rats was observed, and the body mass and the levels of serum lipid metabolism indexes [triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were measured; fasting insulin of serum (FINS), insulin resistance index (IRI) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were measured and calculated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pathological morphology of liver tissue was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining; the expression of glycogen in the liver was observed by periodic acid-Schiff staining, and the staining area was calculated; the protein expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with blank group, the rats in the model group had obvious symptoms of polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, and the serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, FINS and IRI were significantly increased (P<0.05), while ISI was significantly reduced (P< 0.05); the structure of hepatic lobule was obviously disordered, the liver cells were deformed and enlarged, and there were many lipid deposits and fat vacuoles; PAS staining area of glycogen was significantly reduced(P<0.05); the protein expression levels of PPARγ and p-AMPK were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the protein expression level of NF-κB was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the mental state of rats, liver histopathological morphology and glycogen expression were improved significantly in P. emblica water extracts high-dose and medium-dose groups; the levels of the above indicators were significantly reversed(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS P. emblica water extracts may improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorders, liver function and IR in IR model rats, and regulate IR by activating the PPARγ/AMPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.
