FXR/SHP通路介导依折麦布改善草甘膦诱导性肝损伤的机制
The FXR/SHP Pathway Mediates the Mechanism by which Ezetimibe Ameliorates Glyphosate-Induced Hepatotoxicity
摘要
Abstract
Objective To investigate the mechanism by which ezetimibe(EZ)ameliorates glyphosate(GLY)-induced liver injury in mice by regulating the FXR/SHP pathway.Methods Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups:control(CON),glypho-sate-exposed(GLY),EZ-treated(EZ),and GLY+EZ co-treated(GLY+EZ)groups.After 42-day oral administration,biochemical parame-ters of liver function(TC,TG,HDL,LDL,TBA,ALT,AST,ALP)were measured.Hepatic histopathological alterations were evaluated via HE staining.Quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was performed to assess FXR,SHP,and CYP7A1 mRNA expression levels in liver tissues.Molecular docking was utilized to analyze the binding affinity between EZ and FXR/SHP.Results Compared with the CON group,the GLY group exhibited significantly increased hepatic index,hepatic LDL,and ALT levels,while TBA levels were reduced(all P<0.01).Histolog-ical analysis revealed the typical features of liver injury in the GLY group,including disorganized liver lobule structure with sinusoidal con-gestion and hepatocyte swelling,as well as downregulated FXR and CYP7A1 mRNA expression and upregulated SHP mRNA levels.Co-treat-ment with EZ significantly attenuated hepatic index,ALT,AST,and ALP activity(P<0.05),restored TBA levels,and mitigated histological damage.Molecular docking showed that the binding energies of EZ with FXR and SHP were-1.6 and-2.0 kcal/mol,respectively,both less than 0,suggesting binding activity.Conclusion EZ alleviates GLY-induced hepatotoxicity potentially by regulating the FXR/SHP path-way,providing a novel protective mechanism against environmental toxicant-induced liver injury and pharmacological insights for therapeutic intervention.关键词
