Electroacupuncture at “Ganshu” (BL18) and “Yanglingquan” (GB34) alleviates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting translocation and release of high mobility group protein 1 in rats
Objective To explore the protective effect of electroacupuncture(EA) on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury(HIRI) and the expression of high mobility group protein 1(HMGB1) in liver tissues in rats. Methods A total of 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups
namely sham control
HIRI model
"Ganshu"(BL18)-"Yanglingquan"(GB34) and non-acupoint group
with 10 rats in each group. The HIRI model was induced by blocking the arteries
veins and bile ducts supplying the middle and left lobes of the liver for 1 h
and reperfusion for 4 h to induce an area of about 70% HIRI. EA was applied to bila-teral BL18 and GB34
or non-acupoints about 6—8 mm to the bilateral BL18 for 30 min before modeling. Serum alanine transaminase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) levels were measured by using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)
interleukin-6(IL-6) and HMGB1 levels were assayed by ELISA. Hematoxylin-eosin(H.E.) staining was used to observe histopathological changes of the liver tissue by using tissue injury scaling(0-3 scores). The expression of HMGB1 protein in liver tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining
Western blot and PCR
separately. Results Following modeling and compared with the sham group
the levels of serum ALT
AST
TNF-α
IL-6
and HMGB1 contents
the number of HMGB1 immunoreaction(IR)-positive cells
and HMGB1 protein and mRNA were significantly increased(P<0.01). After the treatment
the contents of serum ALT
AST
TNF-α
IL-6
and HMGB1
liver HMGB1 IR-positive cells
protein and mRNA were considerably down-regulated in the BL18-GB34 group(P<0.05)
rather than in the non-acupoint group(P>0.05) in contrast to the model group. H.E. stain showed a higher liver injury score in the model group than in the sham group(P<0.01)
and a lower liver injury score in the BL18-GB34 group(not the non-acupoint group) relevant to the model group(P<0.05). Conclusion EA of BL18 and GB34 points has a protective effect on ischemic liver injury in rats with HIRI
which may be associated with its functions in inhibiting the migration and release of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and in down-regulating the expression of inflammatory factors.
