Isoquercetin (IQ), a glucoside derivative of quercetin, has been reported to have beneficial effects in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this study, we investigated the potential improvement of IQ in liver lipid accumulation, inflammation, oxidative condition, and activation in Kupffer cells (KCs) on a high-fat diet (HFD) induced NAFLD models. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were induced by HFD, lipopolysaccharides/free fatty acids (LPS/FFA) induced co-culture cells model between primary hepatocytes and Kupffer cells was used to test the effects and the underlying mechanism of IQ. Molecular docking was performed to predict the potential target of IQ. Significant effects of IQ were found on reduced lipid accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. In addition, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway was activated by IQ, and is plays an important role in lipid regulation. Meanwhile, IQ reversed the increase of activated KCs which caused by lipid overload, and also suppression of Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling by TGF-β Recptor-1 and SMAD2/3 signaling. Finally, TGF-βR1 and TGF-βR2 were both found may involve in the mechanism of IQ. IQ can improve hepatic lipid accumulation and decrease inflammation and oxidative stress by its activating AMPK pathway and suppressing TGF-β signaling to alleviate NAFLD.

Oxidative stress interferes with hepatic lipid metabolism at various levels ranging from benign lipid storage to so-called second hit of inflammation activation. Isoquercitrin (IQ) is widely present flavonoid but its effects on hepatic lipid metabolism remain unknown. We used free fatty acids (FFA) induced lipid overload and oxidative stress model in two types of liver cells and measured cell viability, intracellular lipids, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) within hepatocytes. In addition, Intracellular triglycerides (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were examined. A novelin vitromodel was used to evaluate correlation between lipid lowering and antioxidative activities. Furthermore, 34 major cytokines and corresponding ROS levels were analyzed in FFA/LPS induced coculture model between hepatocytes and Kupffer cells. At molecular level AMPK pathway was elucidated. We showed that IQ attenuated FFA induced lipid overload and ROS within hepatocytes. Further, IQ reversed FFA induced increase in intracellular TG SOD and MDA. It was shown that antioxidative activity of IQ correlates with its lipid lowering potentials. IQ reversed major proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress in FFA/LPS induced coculture model. Finally, AMPK pathway was found responsible for metabolic benefits at molecular level. IQ strikingly manifests antioxidative and related lipid lowering activities in hepatocytes.

Abstract. Background: The pathophysiological basis of chronic kidney disease and its complications, including cardiovascular disease, are associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of active vitamin D (calcitriol) and synthetic vitamin D analog (paricalcitol) on oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was composed of 83 patients with a minimum hemodialysis vintage of one year. Patients with a history of any infection, malignancy, and chronic inflammatory disease were excluded. Oxidative markers (total oxidant and antioxidant status) and inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) were analyzed. Results: A total of 47% (39/83) patients were using active or analog vitamin D. Total antioxidant status was significantly higher in patients with using active or analog vitamin D than those who did not use (p = 0.006). Whereas, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index were significantly higher in patients with not using vitamin D when compared with the patients who were using vitamin D preparation (p = 0.005 and p = 0.004, respectively). On the other hand, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index were similar between patients who used active vitamin D or vitamin D analog (p = 0.6; p = 0.4 and p = 0.7, respectively). Conclusion: The use of active or selective vitamin D analog in these patients decreases total oxidant status and increases total antioxidant status. Also, paricalcitol is as effective as calcitriol in decreasing total oxidant status and increasing total antioxidant status in patients with chronic kidney disease.
