摘要

The present study was designed to investigate the potential benefits of vitamin C (VC) in treating immunological liver injury induced by Concanavalin A (Con A, 20 mg kg(-1)) in mice. Interestingly, VC administration significantly reduced serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total-bilirubin (T-bilirubin) in Con A-lesioned mice, while serum concentrations of albumin and total-protein (T-protein) were increased. Moreover, inflammatory cytokine profiles, such as interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), were decreased in liver tissue by VC administration. Morphological examination showed that Con A-induced liver damage was effectively mitigated. As shown in RT-PCR assay, VC administration resulted in down-regulated mRNA expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). In addition, VC contributed towards the reduction of intrahepatic tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and the receptor (TNF-R) protein levels, as well as decreasing IKK beta, p-I kappa B alpha, p50 and NF-kappa B expressions; furthermore, VC blocked intranuclear DNA-binding NF-kappa B locus. Our findings show that VC effectively attenuates Con A-mediated immunotoxicity in liver tissue, through an underlying mechanism which relates to dampening of the intrahepatic NF-kappa B signal pathway, thereby reducing cytotoxicity within hepatocytes
