摘要

BACKGROUND: Many therapeutic strategies have been proposed to treat liver fibrosis, but no drugs have been proved effective. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been reported to play a role in some cellular cascades of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis.OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether silymarin and pentoxifylline (PTX) have hepatoprotective and antifibrotic effects in experimental hepatic fibrosis.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: silymarin group (silymarin 4 mg/kg centre dot d~(-1) orally, common bile duct ligation [CBDL]); PTX group (PTX 2 mg/kg centre dot d~(-1) intraperitoneally, CBDL); sham group (common bile duct [CBD] exploration only); and control group (saline 1 mL/d orally, CBDL). The CBD was explored and dissected sufficiently to allow passage of a 3/0 silk suture via midline laparotomy. On day 10, all animals were euthanized via cervical dislocation. Then, 5-cm~3 liver samples from the right lobe were removed for histomorphologic evaluation and 3-mL blood samples were taken via cardiac puncture for biochemical analyses. Apoptosis was determined using the terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-biotin nick end-label (TUNEL) staining method. Plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and gamma-glutamyltransferase; total and indirect bilirubin concentration; hepatic MMP-1 and -2 and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-1 and -2 activity; and transforming-growth factor (TGF)-beta_1 concentration were measured. Collagen content was determined by measuring hydroxyproline in liver samples. Malon-dialdehyde (MDA) was used to estimate lipid peroxidation.RESULTS: Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: silymarin group (n = 7), PTX group (n = 7), sham group (n = 9), and control group (n = 9). Compared with the control group (14.6 [2.44]), mean (SD) hepatocyte apoptosis (as measured by the ratio of TUNEL-positive cells) was significantly suppressed in the silymarin group (1.2 [0.13]; P = 0.001) and the PTX group (3.8 [0.34]; P = 0.001). Mean (SD) MMP-2 activity in the silymarin group (57.35 [9.89] mug/mL; P = 0.04) and the PTX group (46.88 [9.56] ug/mL; P = 0.04) was significantly lower than that observed in the control group (232.32 [79-76] mug/mL).
