【 摘 要 】
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated energy-sensing signals play important roles in reprogramming the expression of inflammatory genes. In the present study, the potential effects of the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4 - carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR) were investigated in a mouse model with LPS/D-Gal-induced acute hepatitis. Our experimental data indicated that treatment with AICAR suppressed the elevation of plasma aminotransferases and alleviated the histopathological abnormalities in mice exposed to LPS/D-Gal. Treatment with AICAR also inhibited the LPS/D-Gal-induced up-regulation of TNF-α, NO and myeloperoxidase. In addition, the LPS/D-Gal-induced expression of pro-apoptotic factor Bax, cleavage of caspase-3, elevation of hepatic caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9 activities and induction of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nucleotide nick-end labeling–positive cells were all suppressed by AICAR. These results suggested that the AMPK activator AICAR could attenuate L...
