    Abstract Background: Bile acid (BA) enterohepatic circulation disorders are a main feature of chronic cholestatic diseases. Promoting BA metabolism is thus a potential method of improving enterohepatic circulation disorders, and treat enterohepatic inflammation, oxidative stress and fibrosis due to cholestasis.
    Purpose: To investigate the effect of JiaGaSongTang (JGST) and its blood-absorbed ingredient 6-gingerol on α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced chronic cholestasis, as well as elucidate the underlying regulatory mechanism.
    Methods: Chronic cholestasis was induced in mice via subcutaneous injection of ANIT (50 mg/kg) every other day for 14 d. Treatment groups were administered JGST orally daily. Damage to the liver and intestine was observed using histopathological techniques. Biochemical techniques were employed to assess total BA (TBA) levels in the serum, liver, and ileum samples. Liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to analyze fecal BA components. Bioinformatic methods were adopted to screen the core targets and pathways. The blood-absorbed ingredients of JGST were scrutinized via LC-MS/MS. The effects of the major JGST ingredients on farnesoid X receptor (FXR) transactivation were validated using dual luciferase reporter genes. Lastly, the effects of the FXR inhibitor, DY268, on JGST and 6-gingerol pharmacodynamics were observed at the cellular and animal levels.
    Results: JGST ameliorated pathological impairments in the liver and intestine, diminishing TBA levels in the serum, liver and gut. Fecal BA profiling revealed that JGST enhanced the excretion of toxic BA constituents, including deoxycholic acid. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that JGST engaged in anti-inflammatory mechanisms, attenuating collagen accumulation, and orchestrating BA metabolism via interactions with FXR and other pertinent targets. LC-MS/MS analysis identified six ingredients absorbed to the bloodstream, including 6-gingerol. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and dual luciferase reporter gene assays confirmed the abilities of 6-gingerol to bind to FXR and activate its transactivation. Ultimately, in both cellular and animal models, the therapeutic efficacy of JGST and 6-gingerol in chronic cholestasis was attenuated in the presence of FXR inhibitors.
    Conclusion: The findings, for the first time, demonstrated that 6-gingerol, a blood-absorbed ingredient of JGST, can activate FXR to affect BA metabolism, and thereby attenuate ANIT-induced liver and intestinal injury in chronic cholestasis mice model via inhibition of inflammation, oxidative stress, and liver fibrosis, in part in a FXR-dependent mechanism.

    Abstract San Wei Gan jiang San (SWGJS) also called Jia Ga Song Tang, is widely used in ancient medicine for liver diseases.To identify the blood components of SWGJS. To determine the hepatoprotective effect and the mechanism of SWGJS by observing its effect on different degrees of liver damage and gene knockdown cells.SWGJS treated serum was analyzed by UPLC-MS to identify blood components. CCl4-induced chronic liver injury in rats was treated with SWGJS. The viscera index was calculated. Pathological changes of the liver were determined by HE staining and analysis of by following: GSH-Px and MDA in liver homogenate; ALT and AST in serum; mRNA expression of Nrf2, Bach1, and HO-1 by RT-PCR; Nrf2 and Bach1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm; HO-1 total expression by Western blot; silencing Nrf2 and Bach1 in human L-02 cells by siRNA; MDA, GSH-Px, GST, and GR in cell supernatants; and GSH/GSSG within the cell.We found that 6-gingerol was one of the blood components in the serum treated with SWGJS. In CCl4-induced chronic liver injury in rats, SWGJS repaired the liver structure in the early stages of liver damage as evidenced by reduced ALT and AST in the serum, increased GSH-Px activity and decreased MDA levels in the liver over time. SWGJS has excellent antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects and prevents disease progression. The mechanism of SWGJS is related to the dynamics promoting Nrf2 entry to the nucleus and Bach1 exit from the nucleus. In L-02 cells with silenced Nrf2, the antioxidant enzyme system was disordered, and the change in the cellular redox state was not conducive to antioxidative stress. However, in cells with silenced Bach1, the antioxidant enzyme system could be activated to promote cellular antioxidant stress. SWGJS had a combined effect on Nrf2 and Bach1 contributing to antioxidant properties and liver protection. SWGJS increased GSH-Px and HO-1, decreased MDA and increased the ratio of GSH/GSSG by upregulating the expression of Nrf2 to enhance its antioxidant effects. At the same time, SWGJS had a specific impact on decreasing Bach1. Its elevation of GST is due to the overall performance of increasing Nrf2 and decreasing Bach1. This mechanism of action embodies the characteristics of the multitarget impact of traditional medicine and the antioxidation effect of SWGJS.6-Gingerol is one of the blood components of SWGJS. SWGJS can regulate antioxidant enzymes, protect against liver damage in different stages, and slow the progression of liver cell damage and liver disease by increasing Nrf2 and reducing Bach1 in the nucleus, dynamically regulating Nrf2/Bach1.

    Abstract Background: Sanwei Ganjiang Powder (SWGJ), derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has long demonstrated its effectiveness in long-term liver damage therapy. Recent studies indicated that it can also regulate the intestinal tract, although the underlying molecular mechanisms of this remain mysterious. The aim of the study is to investigate the mechanisms of SWGJ against dysbacteriosis and carbon tetrachloride (CCl
    Methods: To observe the regulatory effects of SWGJ on Liver and Intestinal Damage, we explored two animal models. In model 1, sixty BALB/c mice were subjected to oral gavage with 12 g/kg of ceftriaxone sodium for 10d; during this time, SWGJ, bifendate and bifico were sequentially administered over 7d. In model 2, the model of chronic liver injury was induced by subcutaneous injection of 40% CCl
    Results: In model 1, SWGJ significantly decreased the activity of inflammatory cytokines and LPS compared with the ceftriaxone sodium group. In addition, SWGJ improved symptoms of intestinal flora imbalance; further, ZO-1 and occludin in the cytoplasm of intestinal villus epithelial cells was increased, and the histopathology of the ileum was improved. Notably, the expression of ALT and AST was significant increased, and disordered hepatic lobule structures were clearly observed in liver histopathology in model group; SWGJ can significantly improve these changes. Furthermore, the levels of proteins related to bile acid synthesis, such as CYP7A1, were significantly upregulated in the SWGJ group compared with the model, and proteins related to excretion and reabsorption, such as NTCP, Mrp2 and BESP, were also upregulated. Importantly, SWGJ increased the nuclear expression of nuclear factor-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2). Similar results appeared in model 2.
    Conclusion: This study suggests that SWGJ may elicit significant effects on the treatment of gut-liver axis damage, potential mechanisms at least partially involve bile acid enterohepatic, and increasing of the nuclear Nrf2 levels.

    Abstract Gut-liver axis and cellular homeostasis play key roles in alcohol liver disease (ALD). Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a stress-sensitive guarantor of cellular homeostasis. We investigated whether the beneficial effects and underlying mechanisms of Jia-ga-song Tang (JGST) against ALD were associated with gut-liver axis and cellular homeostasis. A predictive network depicting the relationship between Jia-Ga-Song-Tang (JGST) and alcoholic liver disease (ALD) was designed by Network pharmacology. Next, 5% v/v Lieber-DeCarli alcohol liquid diet was used to establish the ALD. JGST protected the liver damage, repaired the intestines to alleviate the Two-hit on the liver, and balanced the cellular homeostasis. It was manifested in repairing the liver and intestinal pathological structure, reducing serum ALT, AST, and liver TG, TC, MDA, CAT, and increasing liver GSH, and intestine GSH-Px. JGST mainly inhibited the liver mRNA levels of HO-1, NQO1, GCLC, FASN, and PPARα and activated the intestinal mRNA levels of HO-1 and NQO1, while inhibiting the liver protein levels of HO-1, NQO1. Furthermore, LPS and LBP in the plasma and the expression of inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, TGFβ1, CD14, and Myd88 were reduced after treatment to prove that JGST protects the liver from Two-hit. Ethanol was used to intervene in HepG2 and IEC-6 to establish an ALD cell model and treated by Germacrone, ML385, and TBHQ. repaired the intestinal barrier, and inhibited Nrf2 in IEC-6, but protect the HepG2 by activating Nrf2 to balance cellular homeostasis. Our results reinforce that JGST provides an effective protective method for alcoholic liver disease (ALD) by regulating Gut-liver axis and cellular homeostasis.

    Abstract Currently, the potential role of the alterations occurring in the liver immune system and intestinal flora in liver injury remains unknown. Our study aimed to explore the impacts of intestinal microbial barrier damage induced by ceftriaxone on liver immunity. We developed the BALB/c mice model by administering ceftriaxone. The intestinal microbial barrier damage was observed by 16S rRNA, and the pathological changes of intestines and livers were detected by H&E or transmission electron microscope. The activation of immunocytes were tested by Flow Cytometry; the expression of LPS, ALT, AST, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by Limulus Test or ELISA. Compared to the control, the intestinal microbes significantly decreased in ceftriaxone group. Additionally, the weight of cecum contents increased, the intestinal wall became thinner and the villus in the small intestine and cecum were damaged. The expression of LPS and the ratio of liver lymphocytes were significantly increased. H&E results indicated the structures of liver arose the pathologic changes. Meanwhile, the content of serum ALT, AST, IL-6 and TNF-α increased. Collectively, our study indicates that the damages of gut microbial barrier induced by ceftriaxone prompted activation of immunocytes and release of inflammatory cytokines, which may lead to chronic inflammation in liver.

    Abstract Clinical studies have shown that Intrahepatic cholestasis is closely related to intestinal injury. The gut-liver axis theory suggests that the intestine and liver are closely related, and that bile acids are important mediators linking the intestine and liver. We compared two cholestasis models: a single injection model that received a single subcutaneous ANIT injection (75 mg/kg), and a multiple subcutaneous injection model that received an injection of ANIT (50 mg/kg) every other day for 2 weeks. We used Transmetil (ademetionine 1,4-butanedisulfonate) to relieve intrahepatic cholestasis in the multiple injection group. In the multiple injection group, we found increased hepatic bile duct hyperplasia, increased fibrosis of the liver, increased small intestine inflammation and oxidative damage, increased harmful bile acids, decreased bile acids transporter levels. After treatment with Transmetil, the liver and gut injuries were relieved. These results suggest that intrahepatic cholestasis can cause disorders of the gut-liver axis.

    Abstract It has been shown that oxidative damage and inflammation caused by hyperglycemia in endothelial cells are key factors triggering diabetic vascular complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects of Danhong Huayu Koufuye (DHK)‑medicated serum on high glucose (HG)‑induced injury in endothelial cells, and examine its underlying mechanisms. EA. hy926 cells were treated with normal glucose, HG, or HG with DHK‑medicated serum. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT method. Apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured using the 2',7'‑dichlorodihydrofluorescein method. Cell culture supernatant was collected for detecting the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA). The protein expression levels of intercellular adhesion molecule‑1 (ICAM‑1), nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB), hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined using western blot analysis. The results revealed that DHK‑medicated serum accelerated the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of cells treated with HG (P<0.01) in a dose‑dependent manner. Compared with the HG group, the high levels of ROS and MDA were significantly reduced by DHK‑medicated serum (P<0.01). A 10% concentration of DHK‑medicated serum increased the activities of SOD and GPx by 59.4 and 95.5%, respectively. The high protein expression levels of ICAM‑1, NF‑κB, VEGF and HIF‑1α were significantly ameliorated by DHK‑medicated serum (P<0.01, vs. HG group). These findings indicated that DHK‑medicated serum protected EA. hy926 cells from HG‑induced injury and apoptosis through antioxidation and anti‑inflammatory effects.

    Abstract Liver injury remains a significant global health problem and has a variety of causes, including oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, and apoptosis of liver cells. There is currently no curative therapy for this disorder. Sanwei Ganjiang Prescription (SWGJP), derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has shown its effectiveness in long-term liver damage therapy, although the underlying molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. To explore the underlining mechanisms of action for SWGJP in liver injury from a holistic view, in the present study, a systems pharmacology approach was developed, which involved drug target identification and multilevel data integration analysis. Using a comprehensive systems approach, we identified 43 candidate compounds in SWGJP and 408 corresponding potential targets. We further deciphered the mechanisms of SWGJP in treating liver injury, including compound-target network analysis, target-function network analysis, and integrated pathways analysis. We deduced that SWGJP may protect hepatocytes through several functional modules involved in liver injury integrated-pathway, such as Nrf2-dependent anti-oxidative stress module. Notably, systems pharmacology provides an alternative way to investigate the complex action mode of TCM.
