摘要: [目的]探讨苓桂术甘汤对非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)大鼠肝组织DGAT2、PKCε的影响。[方法]高脂饮食饲养SD大鼠8周制备NASH模型,药物治疗4周后,自动生化分析仪检测血清肝功能(AST、ALT)、血脂(CHO、LDL、HDL、TG)水平,苏木精-伊红染色、油红O染色观察肝组织病理,RT-PCR检测DGAT2 mRNA、PKCε mRNA,Western-blot检测DGAT2和PKCε蛋白的表达。[结果]苓桂术甘汤组、罗格列酮组能明显改善肝组织的脂肪变性和炎症程度,降低血清TG、ALT、AST,下调DGAT2、PKCε mRNA和蛋白的表达水平(P<0.05、P<0.01)。[结论]苓桂术甘汤可能是通过下调肝组织DGAT2、PKCε mRNA和蛋白的表达水平,[JP2]对肝内脂质代谢和胰岛素抵抗起到了调节和改善作用,从而达到治疗NASH的目的,DGAT2/PKCε有可能成为治疗NASH的新靶点。Abstract: [Objective] To investigate the effect of Linggui Zhugan Decoction on DGAT2 and PKCε expression in NASH rats.[Methods] High-fat diet was used to induce NASH model on SD rats for 8 weeks.After 4 weeks of treatment, the automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure the serum liver function(AST, ALT) and blood lipid(CHO, LDL, HDL, TG) level.HE staining and oil-red O staining were used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue.RT-PCR was used to detect the DGAT2 mRNA and PKCε mRNA.Western blot was used to observe the expression of DAGT2 and PKCε protein.[Results] Linggui Zhugan Decoction and rosiglitazone can significantly improve the liver fatty degeneration and the degree of inflammation, reduce serum TG, ALT, AST, downregulate DGAT2, PKCε mRNA and protein expression levels(P<0.05, P<0.01).[Conclusion] Linggui Zhugan Decoction may treat NASH through downregulation of hepatic DGAT2, PKCε mRNA and protein expression levels, thus adjusting the intrahepatic lipid metabolism and improving insulin resistance.DGAT2/PKCε may become a new target for the treatment of NASH.
