Cholestasis is an important predisposing factor of liver diseases, such as hepatocyte necrosis, liver fibrosis and primary biliary cirrhosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of Kinsenoside (KD), a natural active ingredient of Anoectochilus roxburghii, on estrogen-induced cholestatic liver injury in Sprague-Dawley rats and the underlying mechanism. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, low-dose KD group (50 mg/kg body weight, KD-L), medium-dose KD group (100 mg/kg body weight, KD-M), high-dose KD group (200 mg/kg body weight, KD-H) and ursodeoxycholic acid group (40 mg/kg body weight, UDCA). 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE) was used to establish an experimental animal model of estrogen-induced cholestasis (EIC). The results demonstrated that KD alleviated liver pathologic damage, serum biochemical status and inhibited hepatocellular microstructure disorder and bile duct hyperplasia in EE-induced cholestatic rats. Mechanically, KD alleviated EE-induced cholestatic liver injury by inhibiting inflammatory responses and regulating bile acid homeostasis. Concretely, KD reduced the expression of IL-1β and IL-6 by inhibiting NF-κB p65 to suppress EE-mediated inflammation in rat liver. KD enhanced the expression of FXR and inhibited EE-mediated reduction of FXR in vitro and in vivo. It was the potential mechanism that KD mitigates cholestasis by increasing efflux and inhibiting uptake of bile acids via FXR-mediated induction of bile salt export pump (BSEP) and reduction of Na+-dependent taurocholate cotransport peptide (NTCP) to maintain bile acid homeostasis. Moreover, KD repressed the bile acid synthesis through reducing the expression of synthetic enzyme (CYP7A1), thereby normalizing the expression of metabolic enzyme (SULT2A1) of bile acid. In conclusion, our results revealed that KD may be an effective drug candidate for the treatment of cholestasis.

Abstract Background: Lithocholic acid (LCA) is one kind of endogenous bile acids which is a typical index in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). It could cause severe cholestatic liver injury in rodents. Obeticholic acid (OCA) is a major treatment for PBC. However, its effect and mechanism in LCA-induced liver injury was still unclear beside of bile acid regulation. This study aims to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect and mechanism of OCA against LCA-induced cholestatic liver injury. Results: LCA-induced upregulations of ALT, AST, ALP and TBA were reduced and the bile acid profiles in serum, liver and bile were improved significantly by OCA. This bile acid regulating effect of OCA was mainly based on increasing the expression of bile acid efflux transporters bile salt export pump (BSEP), multidrug resistant associated protein 2 (MRP2), MRP3 and multi-drug resistance 3 (MDR3) instead of bile acid synthesis inhibition. Furthermore, it was found that OCA reduced the activation and expression of Caspase 8/3 signaling pathway without the change of p-MLKL and BAX in LCA-induced cholestatic model. And the inhibition of Caspase 8/3 signaling pathway depended on the activation of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) to inhibit Caspase 8 cleavage to form a active complex.Conclusions: This study found OCA improved LCA-induced cholestatic liver injury via FXR-induced exogenous cell apoptosis, which provided a new evidence for the application of OCA to ameliorate PBC in clinical.
