摘要：

目的 探讨1-脱氧野霉素（DNJ）对糖尿病所致的肝纤维化的改善作用及其内在机制。方法 建立2型糖尿病小鼠（T2D）模型，随机分为3组，5只/组：（1）对照组：腹膜内注射柠檬酸盐缓冲液（50 mg/kg）；（2）糖尿病组（DM）：采用高脂饮食饲养8周，静脉注射STZ（50 mg/kg），持续3 d，空腹血糖浓度≥16.7 mmol/L；（3）DNJ组：给予高脂饮食和10%DNJ（200 mg·kg-1·d-1）饮水，持续8周。测定体质量（BW）、血糖、血清总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）。制作肝组织切片行苏木精伊红染色（H&E）和天狼星红染色。此外，检测肝组织中胶原蛋白的溶解度。应用实时定量PCR法检测MCP-1、TNF-α、IL-1β、TGF-β1mRNA相对表达水平。Western-blot法测定α-SMA和Collagen2（ColA2）蛋白水平。将L929小鼠成纤维细胞用DNJ（10 μg/mL）或PBS预处理30 min，然后在含高浓度葡萄糖的MEM培养基培养24 h。使用二氢乙锭（DHE）染色测定ROS的产生。结果 DNJ可显著降低糖尿病小鼠血清中的血糖、TC、TG和SOD水平（P<0.05），并显著减轻肝组织胶原交联程度，尤其以酶溶型胶原（PSC）以及总胶原含量的减低为主要表现（P<0.05）。同时，DNJ显著降低由糖尿病引起的促炎因子以及纤维化相关细胞因子的高表达（P<0.05）。用DNJ预处理后培养的L929细胞在DHE染色中显示出较低的红色荧光强度（P<0.05）。结论 DNJ作为一种潜在的天然功能性营养物质，可以通过降血糖，抗炎以及抗氧化作用减轻T2D诱导的肝纤维化。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) for improving diabetic liver fibrosis and explore the underlying mechanism. Methods Mouse models of type 2 diabetes were established in 10 Kunming mice by high-fat diet feeding for 8 weeks and intraperitoneal injection of STZ, with 5 mice receiving intraperitoneal injection of citrate buffer solution with normal feeding as the control group. The mouse models were randomized into two groups (n=5) for further high-fat feeding (model group) and additional treatment with 10% DNJ in drinking water (200 mg · kg- 1 per day; DNJ group) for 8 weeks. The mice were monitored for changes in body weight (BW), blood glucose, serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels. The pathological changes in the liver tissue were observed using HE and Sirius Red staining, and the solubility of collagens in the liver tissues was determined. The expression levels of MCP-1, TNF-α, IL-1β and TGF-β1 mRNA were detected with real-time PCR, and the protein expressions of α-SMA and collagen2 (ColA2) were determined with Western blotting. In the in vitro experiment, mouse fibroblasts L929 cells were pretreated with DNJ (10 μg/ mL) or PBS for 30 min followed by culture in high-glucose medium for 24 h, and the level of ROS production was measured using dihydroethidium (DHE) staining. Results In the mouse model of type 2 diabetes, DNJ treatment significantly lowered serum level of glucose, TC, and TG (P<0.05) and increased serum SOD activity (P<0.05). DNJ obviously attenuated liver fibrosis in the diabetic mice, as shown by alleviated cross-linking of collagens and reduced contents of pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) and total collagen (P<0.05). DNJ treatment also significantly reduced the overexpression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines and fibrosis-related cytokines induced by diabetes (P<0.05). In L929 cells exposed to high glucose, pretreatment with DNJ significantly lowered the intensity of red fluorescence in DHE staining. Conclusion DNJ can attenuate type 2 diabetes-induced liver fibrosis in mice through its hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.
