Hesperidin (HDN) is a citrus bioflavonoid, which widely exists in many plants. Previous researches have proved that HDN has several functions such as anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation and so on. In the present study, we explored the protective effects of HDN on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatic injury. Acute hepatic injury model was established successfully by intravenous administration of Con A (15 mg/kg) in male C57BL/6 mice, and HDN was pretreated for 10 days before Con A challenge. It was found that the hepatic injury was notably improved in HDN pretreated mice. Furthermore, hepatic oxidative stress and the production of proinflammatory cytoldnes including TNF-alpha. and IFN-gamma were decreased by HDN pretreatment. More importantly, compared with Con A-treated mice, the expression and releasing of HMGB1 and T-cell activation were markedly reduced in HDN pretreated mice. Thus, these results suggest that HDN protects mice from Con A-induced hepatic injury by suppressing hepatocyte oxidative stress, producing cytokines, expressing and releasing HMGB1 and activating T cells.
