Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical application, in particular to application of alendronate in treating hepatic fibrosis.
Background
Hepatic fibrosis is the result of liver injury, is the abnormal proliferation of connective tissue in the liver caused by various pathogenic factors, may cause liver dysfunction, and is the main process of liver injury developing into other chronic diseases. It causes the accumulation of extracellular matrix in response to the recruitment of inflammatory cells of chronic injury and the activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs). Steatosis (steatosis) is commonly associated with hepatitis and hepatocellular damage. Regardless of its etiology, increased oxidative stress is a common factor that causes fibrosis in all chronic liver diseases. Damaged hepatocytes, HSCs and infiltrating inflammatory cells are the major sources of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Indeed, oxidative stress will induce the recruitment of inflammatory cells and the activation of HSCs. Thus, in the context of chronic liver injury, a vicious cycle of hepatocyte injury, ROS production, HSC activation, and inflammatory cell recruitment will occur, amplifying the fibrotic response to the injury. At present, the medicines for treating liver injury and hepatic fibrosis are relatively lack.
Allenic acid (Arundic acid, ONO-2506) was developed by the Min Ye pharmaceutical industries, Inc. as a drug for treating stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. Currently, it is widely believed that the alendronic acid is mainly used in the field of cerebral neuropathy, is an astrocyte regulator, and delays the expansion of cerebral infarction by inhibiting the synthesis of S100 beta and regulating the activation of astrocytes.

Carrying out intraperitoneal injection anesthesia by using 1.5% sodium pentobarbital (2.5mL/kg), fixing on a table in a supine manner, cutting off neck hair, disinfecting by ethanol, separating layer by layer and exposing an air pipe, penetrating the air pipe into an injector through the annular gap of the air pipe cartilage towards the centripetal end, slowly injecting 0.3 mL of bleomycin physiological saline solution (5mg/kg), continuously injecting 0.3 mL of air, immediately standing the animal after injection, rotating the animal left and right to uniformly distribute the liquid medicine in the lung. Wherein the lungs of sham operated rats were injected with an equal volume of saline. After 24h, the mice in the low, medium and high groups of the alendronate are subjected to intraperitoneal injection administration according to the set dose, and the control group and the model group are injected with the same volume of normal saline. Followed by once daily dosing. After 21 days, the mice were sacrificed, lung tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and placed in a freezer at-80 ℃ for future use.

Group design and drug administration treatment
Statistical method
The Office Excel 2019 is used for data analysis and table making, independent samples are tested by t, P is less than 0.01, the difference is extremely obvious compared with a blank control group, P is less than 0.01, the difference is extremely obvious compared with a model group, and the statistical significance is achieved.
As shown in table 8, high-fat high-sugar diet can significantly increase TC, TG content in liver tissue of mice, suggesting lipid deposition in liver tissue. The alendronate in the medium and high dose groups can reduce the TC content of the liver tissue, and has a significant difference (P < 0.05) compared with the model group. The alendronate in the low, medium and high dose groups can obviously reduce the TG content of the liver tissue (P < 0.01).
As shown in Table 9, the high-fat and high-sugar diet can significantly increase ALT and AST in mouse serum, which indicates that hepatic cells are damaged, and the TC and TG content in the serum increase, which indicates that the lipid metabolism capability of liver exceeds load, and indicates that the model is successfully constructed. The alendronate can reduce ALT content in serum, and the medium and high dose groups have significant difference compared with the model group (# # P < 0.01). The alendronate in the low, medium and high dose groups can reduce the AST and TG contents in serum. Allenic acid has no statistical significance for the down-regulation of TC content in serum.
