PG - 235-243 LID - 10.1159/000501384 [doi] AB - BACKGROUNDS: (6aS, 10S, 11aR, 11bR, 11cS)-10-methylaminododecahydro-3a, 7a-diaza-benzo (de) anthracene-8-thione (MASM), a novel derivative of matrine, exhibits better anti-inflammatory activity. This study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of MASM on acute and chronic liver injuries and explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Acute and chronic liver injury models were established by the CCl4 intraperitoneal injection and the protective effect of MASM was assessed by biochemical and histological examination. The infiltration of different monocyte subsets into the liver was characterized and analyzed by flow cytometry. The in vitro effect of MASM on liver nonparenchymal cells was evaluated by real-time PCR and transwell chemotaxis assays. RESULTS: Administration of MASM markedly attenuated acute liver injury and liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 injection. Meanwhile, the infiltrations of Gr1hi monocytes in injured livers and induced hepatic expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were greatly inhibited. Cellular experiments demonstrated that MASM not only decreased the expression of MCP-1 but also inhibited its chemotactic activity. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the protective effect of MASM on liver injury could be contributed to the suppression of Gr1hi monocyte infiltration to the liver and the inhibition of MCP-1 production and activity. These findings provide new insights into the protective role of MASM in liver injury. CI - (c) 2019 S. Karger AG, Basel.
