Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological pharmacy, in particular to application of ginsenoside CK in preparing medicines for preventing and treating immune hepatitis.
Background
The liver is a necessary digestive organ of the human body, is responsible for metabolism of various nutrient intakes, and is the place where various chemical reactions are most active. However, in recent years, the incidence of liver damage has increased due to drugs of abuse, alcoholism, and viral infection. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a severe immune-mediated liver disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, which can occur in children and adults of all ages. If not properly treated, AIH may develop cirrhosis or even hepatocellular carcinoma. The clinical symptoms of AIH are significant elevation of serum Alanine (ALT) or Aspartate (AST) aminotransferase levels, abnormally abundant inflammatory cell infiltration and liver necrosis in the liver, etc.
Currently, immunosuppressants-hormones are the most widely used therapeutic methods in the drug treatment of autoimmune hepatitis, including prednisone or prednisolone combined with azathioprine, and have good clinical effects. However, the side effects associated with these treatments are also more prevalent, such as weight gain, mood swings, and osteoporosis, which alert people to the urgent need to develop safer and more effective AIH therapies.
Among the many inflammatory regulatory signaling pathways, the NF- κB signaling pathway has a regulatory effect on the production of transcription factors, inflammatory cytokines, and even cell survival, whereas overexpression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) activates NF- κB, thereby initiating an immune response. Thus, the TLR4/NF- κB pathway plays a critical role in the development and progression of immune related diseases.
In recent years, various plant chemicals extracted from natural products have been explored to demonstrate various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, etc. Among them, ginsenoside is used as the main bioactive component in the Araliaceae plants such as ginseng, american ginseng, notoginseng, etc., and its biological activity has been widely verified in experimental level and clinical study in the past decades. Researches report that the ginsenoside CK has a strong protection effect on liver injury due to good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Based on the above, the technical proposal of the invention proposes that the ginsenoside CK improves the occurrence and development of autoimmune hepatitis by regulating inflammatory reaction mediated by TLR4/NF- κB channel.
Chinese patent No. CN202010525824.6 discloses application of ginsenoside CK in anti-colon cancer drugs, chinese patent No. CN202010525824.6 discloses application of ginsenoside CK in lipid-lowering and weight-losing drugs, chinese patent No. CN 201510493410.9 discloses application of ginsenoside CK and Rh1 monomers and compositions thereof in drugs for improving nonalcoholic fatty liver fibrosis and insulin resistance, and Chinese patent No. CN 201810482539.3 discloses a total ginsenoside composition, ginsenoside Rg5, ginsenoside Rk1 and ginsenoside CK which can be used for preparing diuretics or diuretics health care products, so that the technical problems of poor diuretic reaction and diuretics resistance in the prior art are solved.

After 18 hours, mice were sacrificed and blood was collected and liver and spleen tissues were collected and saved for subsequent testing.
Results: within one week of administration of ginsenoside CK, the body weight of mice is not obviously reduced, which indicates that the ginsenoside CK has no obvious toxicity to the mice, and after ConA induction, the body weight of mice in a model group is obviously reduced, and the CK group is relatively relieved, which indicates that the CK can partially counteract the toxicity of ConA. In addition, the liver of the model group is dark red, the volume is reduced, the liver is in a damaged state, and the liver morphology in the CK group is recovered, which shows that the ginsenoside CK has a relieving effect on ConA-induced liver damage. Furthermore, the spleen of the model group is engorged with blood, has a volume expansion and a dark color, while the spleen of the CK group is in a normal form, which suggests that the ginsenoside CK has an effect of regulating the immune function. The results are shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and Table 1.

(2) Liver tissue H & E staining: the fixed liver was cut into tissue pieces of 10mm×3mm, then embedded and sectioned, and the sections were fixed on a glass slide, subjected to conventional H & E staining, observed under an optical microscope, and the pathological changes of the liver were recorded.
Results: the liver cells of the normal group are arranged tightly and orderly, the liver of the model group is obviously necrotized, the cell nuclei are contracted, the radial arrangement of the hepatic ropes is disappeared, the liver necrotic area of the mice of the CK low-dose group is obviously reduced, and the liver tissue morphology of the high-dose group is restored to be normal, which indicates that CK can inhibit ConA-induced liver tissue necrosis. The results are shown in FIG. 2.
(3) Detection of serum biochemical indexes: and centrifuging the collected blood, separating to obtain serum, analyzing a serum sample by adopting AST, ALT and ALP kits, and detecting the enzyme level in the serum.
Results: after ConA induction, the level of aminotransferase in serum rises sharply, which indicates that ConA causes serious damage to liver function, while the level of serum aminotransferase in CK pretreatment group is obviously reduced compared with model group, which indicates that CK has obvious relieving effect on liver function damage caused by ConA. The results are shown in FIG. 3.
(4) Expression of liver inflammatory factor: after freezing and grinding the collected liver tissue, adding normal saline and centrifuging, detecting the obtained supernatant by using a TNFa and IL-6ELISA kit, and analyzing the expression condition of several inflammatory factors in the liver.
Results: the data show that compared with the normal group, the liver inflammatory factor level of the model group treated by ConA alone is obviously increased, which indicates that the liver has serious inflammatory response, and the liver inflammatory factor expression level of the CK pretreatment group is returned, which indicates that the CK has an improvement effect on liver inflammation. The results are shown in FIG. 4.
(5) RT-qPCR (reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction) detection of expression of inflammation-related genes and TLR4 in liver tissues: weighing 50mg of frozen liver tissue, adding a Trizol reagent to extract total RNA of the liver after freezing and grinding by liquid nitrogen, synthesizing cDNA by using a reverse transcription kit, amplifying by taking beta-action as an internal reference, reading a CT value after PCR reaction is finished, and calculating the expression condition of the TLR4 gene in each group.
Results: the mRNA level of TLR4 in the liver of ConA-induced model mice is obviously increased, and the expression level of TLR4 in a CK-treated group is reduced, which indicates that CK can inhibit the activity of TLR4 signals in the liver. The results are shown in FIG. 5.
(6) WB detection of phosphorylation of iκbα in liver tissue: weighing 50mg of frozen liver tissue, adding RIPA lysate for cracking, centrifuging, and taking supernatant to obtain total protein solution, wherein one part adopts BCA protein quantitative kit for total protein quantification, and the other part adopts the following steps: 1, adding a loading buffer solution in proportion, uniformly mixing, boiling for 5min, performing SDS-PAGE and membrane transfer, incubating an antibody, developing and recording the result.
Results: the level of IκBα phosphorylation was significantly up-regulated in the liver of ConA-induced model mice, while the expression level of p-IκBα was relatively reduced in the CK-treated group, indicating that CK can inhibit NF- κB signaling pathway activity by inhibiting IκBα phosphorylation. The results are shown in FIG. 6.
