ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the role of Src kinase in liver injury in endotoxemic mice.Methods Forty-eight female BABL/c mice,aged 3-4 months,weighing 15-20 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),endotoxemia group (lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group) and Src kinase inhibitor PP2 group (PP2 group).Endotoxemia was induced by intraperitoneal LPS 20 mg/kg in LPS and PP2 groups,while the equal volume of PBS was given in group C.In PP2 group,PP2 1 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 2 h after LPS administration.At 6 h after LPS or PBS injection,8 mice in each group were chosen,and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta for determination of the serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP).The mice were then sacrificed and livers were removed for determination of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) level,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) content and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in liver tissues.The other 8 mice in each group were sacrificed at 24 h after LPS or PBS injection,and the livers were harvested for examination of pathological changes.Results Compared with C group,the serum levels of ALP and MDA content and MPO activity in liver tissues were significantly increased,and SOD activity and Nrf2 levels in liver tissues were decreased in LPS and PP2 groups.Compared with LPS group,the serum levels of ALP and MDA content and MPO activity in liver tissues were significantly decreased,and SOD activity and Nrf2 levels in liver tissues were increased in PP2 group.The pathological changes of liver tissues were significantly attenuated in PP2 group as compared with LPS group.Conclusion Src kinase is involved in endotoxemia-induced liver injury in mice.
