Inhibition of mitochondrial ROS-mediated necroptosis by Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids in carbon tetrachloride induced acute liver injury.
Journal of Ethnopharmacology 2024 April 27
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Dendrobium nobile Lindl. (DNL) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that has been recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition). The previous data showed that Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids (DNLA) protect against CCl4 -induced liver damage via oxidative stress reduction and mitochondrial function improvement, yet the exact regulatory signaling pathways remain undefined.
AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of necroptosis in the mode of CCl4 -induced liver injury and determine whether DNLA protects against CCl4 -induced acute liver injury (ALI) by inhibiting mitochondrial ROS (mROS)-mediated necroptosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: DNLA was extracted from DNL, and the content was determined using liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS). In vivo experiments were conducted in C57BL/6J mice. Animals were administrated with DNLA (20 mg/kg/day, ig) for 7 days, and then challenged with CCl4 (20 μL/kg, ip). CCl4 -induced liver injury in mice was evaluated through the assessment of biochemical indicators in mouse serum and histopathological examination of hepatic tissue using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The protein and gene expressions were determined with western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was detected using the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA, and mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated using a fluorescent probe JC-1. The mitochondrial ROS (mROS) level was assessed using a fluorescence probe MitoSOX.
RESULTS: DNLA lessened CCl4 -induced liver injury, evident by reduced AST and ALT levels and improved liver pathology. DNLA suppressed necroptosis by decreasing RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL phosphorylation, concurrently enhancing mitochondrial function. It also broke the positive feedback loop between mROS and RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL activation. Similar findings were observed with resveratrol and mitochondrial SOD2 overexpression, both mitigating mROS and necroptosis. Further mechanistic studies found that DNLA inhibited the oxidation of RIPK1 and reduced its phosphorylation level, whereby lowering the phosphorylation of RIPK3 and MLKL, blocking necroptosis, and alleviating liver injury.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that DNLA inhibits the necroptosis signaling pathway by reducing mROS mediated oxidation of RIPK1, thereby reducing the phosphorylation of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL, and protecting against liver injury.
