  • Abstract:Aim of the study:We investigated whether SS could improve NAFLD-induced liver injury by decreasing lipid accumulation via the activation of FXR signalling. Materials and methods:In vivo, the effects of SS on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced lipid accumulation in the liver of mice were evaluated by serum biochemical parameters and histopathological analysis. In vitro, the intracellular triglyceride (TG) level and Oil Red O staining were used to evaluate the lipid removal ability of SS in Huh-7 cells or FXR knockout mouse primary hepatocytes (MPHs) induced by oleic acid (OA). Moreover, FXR/sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) mRNA and protein expression levels were detected. Results:SS reduced HFD-induced lipid accumulation in the liver, as indicated by decreased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol (Ch), and TG levels in serum and TG levels in liver tissue, and subsequently resulting in attenuation of liver histopathological injury. Gene expression profiles demonstrated that SS dose-dependently prevented HFD-induced decrease of FXR expression and inversely inhibited SREBP1 expression in the nucleus. Furthermore, SS significantly suppressed excessive TG accumulation and decreased intracellular TG level in Huh-7 cells or MPHs via the upregulation of FXR and inhibition of SREBP1 expression in the nucleus. Conclusion:Our results suggest that SS ameliorates HFD-induced NAFLD by the decrease of lipid accumulation via the control of FXR-SREBP1 signalling.
