Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of Soshiho-tang (SSH) in mouse primary liver cells against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. We also elucidated the molecular mechanism of hepatoprotective effect by SSH.
Methods: Cell viability, level of ALT, AST and LDH, intracellular ROS level, mRNA expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes were used to evaluate hepatoprotection of SSH against H2O2. Target gene expressions were analyzed by real-time PCR.
Results: Pre-treatment with SSH for 1 hour prevented cytotoxicity against H2O2. H2O2-induced ROS level decreased under SSH pre-treatment. mRNA expression of GPx and SOD increased in SSH-treated cells. In addition, HSP72 and HSP40 gene expression were elevated under SSH-treatment.
Conclusions: These results indicate that SSH protects mouse primary liver cells from H2O2-induced oxidative injury. This hepatoprotective activity of SSH is mediated by decreasing intracellular ROS and increasing antioxidant enzyme expression (GPx and SOD) and stress response protein (HSP72 and HSP40).
