摘要

Thirty-six rats with biliary obstruction induced by double ligation and section of the common bile duct were randomly and blindly assigned to receive subcutaneous injection of interferon alpha (INF-alpha at ?6750 or 13500 IU/kg) three times weekly alone, a combination of INF-alpha and silymarin (25 mg/kg once a day orally) or saline, starting one day after surgery and continued for one month. At the end of the treatment period, rats were killed and analyzed for blood biochemistry, liver and bone histopathology. The administration of INF-alpha at 6750 IU/kg increased plasma aspartate aminotransferase by 60.6%. Serum alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities were markedly raised after INF-alpha 13500 U/kg by 74.6%, 89% and 109%, respectively. Such elevations in liver enzymes were not observed in rats treated with a combination of INF-alpha and silymarin. Serum bilirubin decreased by 30.8 and 36.1% after treatment with INF-alpha at 6750 and 13500 IU/kg and by 23.7 and 20.8% after treatment with INF-alpha at 6750 or 13500 IU/kg combined with silymarin, respectively. Calcium levels in plasma were not significantly altered by INF-alpha alone or combined with silymarin. On histology, INF-alpha at 6750 IU/kg failed to prevent fibrosis in liver of BDL rats, although many of the hepatocytes appeared normal, while the higher dose of resulted in some improvement in the degree of fibrosis, oedema and lymphocytic infiltration. The addition of silymarin to interferon did not result in further histological improvement. In contrast to observations in the liver, thickness of bone tissue at the diaphysis of tibia was reduced in BDL rats, but restored to normal values by treatment with INF-alpha alone or by the combination of INF-alpha and silymarin. The high dose of interferon either alone or accompanied with silymarin made much improvement in the bone changes that resulted from bile duct legation These results suggest that INF-alpha alone or co-administered with silymarin is of limited value in this model of cholestatic liver injury, but appear to prevent bone alterations in obstructive jaundice INF-alpha is likely to exert antifibrotic effects distinct from its antiviral properties. The study also indicates that bile duct ligation is a reliable and efficient model for producing osteoporosis in rats for the assessment of different drugs and pathophysiologic mechanisms involved. Introduction Interferon alpha (INF-alpha) alone or in combination with ribavirin is the standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus infection. The aim is to eradicate the virus, suppress the continuing necro-inflammatory process and consequently preventing the development of cirrhosis1,2. The latter is the end result of fibrosis characterized by the excessive production of extracellular matrix proteins in the liver, including type I collagen3,4. In human liver, fibrogenesis underlies development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in 90% of cases, and HCC is an ominous complication of cirrhosis in 30% of the patients5. Despite the fact that therapy with interferon and ribavirin can eliminate the virus and prevent the progression of the disease, frequent side effects and relapses preclude the use of this form of therapy in a substantial proportion of patients. Such combination of interferon and ribavirin is associated with fatigue, influenza-like symptoms (headaches, fever, myalgia), hematologic abnormalities, and neuropsychiatric symptoms6. From 10 to 14% of participants in the registration trials for combination therapy involving the peginterferons withdrew prematurely from therapy due to adverse events7. This is in addition to the fact that sustained response is obtained in approximately 55% of patients with the combination of PEG-IFN and ribavirin6,8. Whether INF-alpha possesses antifibrotic or hepatoprotective properties distinct from its antiviral effect are not clear. There is evidence to suggest that interferon-alp
