Accumulation of large amounts of bile in hepatocytes causes inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis and fibrosis of the hepatocytes, which can evolve into liver fibrosis, cirrhosis if the patient is not effectively treated, ultimately leading to liver failure.
The establishment of cholestatic animal model provides a way for basic research, treatment and screening of cholestatic liver injury prevention and cure drugs. Alpha-naphthyl-isothiocyanate (ANIT) is a cholangiotoxic agent, and single-dose oral administration can induce acute cholangitis, cause bile outflow blockage, generate intrahepatic cholestasis, and reach the highest peak 48 hours after administration, and is a model for more mature cholestasis.

Liver tissue partially fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde was taken, embedded in paraffin according to conventional methods of histopathology, cut into 4 μm slices, and sectioned. Subsequently, staining (H & E staining) was performed with hematoxylin and eosin, and each sample section was subjected to 200-fold mirror observation of liver tissue change for histopathological analysis.
3.4.3 Biochemical index detection
The mice were tested for plasma ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL levels, strictly following the kit protocol.
3.4.4 determination of AP content in liver tissue: reference is made to example 1.
The level of plasma ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL is used as a biochemical index, the level of liver injury and cholestasis are estimated by assisting in H & E staining and liver gall bladder morphology, and the influence of the APS reductase inhibitor bromocriptine on the anti-cholestasis effect of the AP is examined by detecting the content of the AP in liver tissues.
The detection results are shown in fig. 3-6, and the results show that:
(1) On the control group model, compared with the Vehicle group, the mouse gall bladder of the ANIT model group is obviously enlarged, the bile is dark green, and more white spots of the liver are deposited and are matt; compared with the ANIT model group, the normal control group mice have no obvious improvement effect on the gallbladder and liver morphology by orally administering 200mg/kg of AP; administration of positive drug S-AMe100mg/kg significantly improved the gallbladder and liver morphology caused by ANIT; oral administration of AP200mg/kg on the APS reductase inhibitor model had a significant improvement in both gallbladder and liver morphology (fig. 3).
(2) H & E staining results show that, on the control group model, compared with the Vehicle group, the liver tissue of the mice in the ANIT model group has a plurality of hepatic cell focal necrosis, the nucleus is dissolved, the cytoeosinophilia is enhanced, and a small amount of inflammatory cells infiltrate; compared with the ANIT model group, the normal control group mice have no obvious improvement effect on the liver necrosis area by orally administering 200mg/kg of AP; administration of positive drug S-AMe at 100mg/kg significantly improved liver necrosis caused by ANIT; oral administration of AP200mg/kg on the APS reductase inhibitor model had a significant improvement effect on liver necrosis area (fig. 4).
(3) On the control group model, compared with the ANIT model group, the normal control group mice orally administrate 200mg/kg of AP without obvious improvement effect on the ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL level in the blood plasma; administration of the positive drug S-AMe at 100mg/kg significantly improved the levels of ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL in plasma; on the APS reductase inhibitor model, oral administration of AP200mg/kg significantly improved the level of ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL in plasma (fig. 5).
(4) Compared to the normal control group, the content of AP in liver tissue of mice administered with the enterobacteria APS reductase inhibitor was significantly increased (fig. 6).
It is shown that bromocriptine can significantly improve its anti-cholestasis effect by inhibiting AP metabolism in the gut.
The present invention has been described in detail in the above embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
