雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠通过全肠内营养(TEN)或乙醇(EtOH)等热量替代碳水化合物热量的相同饮食长期饲喂高不饱和脂肪饮食130天。另外的组在第1.7天补充抗氧化剂N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)。g.kg相对于自由进食组,高脂饮食对照组的脂肪酸转运蛋白CD 36 mRNA的表达增加了3 - 4倍,并出现了轻度脂肪变性,但几乎没有其他肝脏病理学变化。与对照组相比,NAC治疗导致体细胞生长增加(4.0 +/-0.1 g/d vs. 3.1 +/- 0.1 g/d),肝脂肪变性评分增加(3.5 +/- 0.6 vs. 2.7 +/- 1.2),与甘油三酯水解蛋白脂尿苷的抑制有关,但血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)未升高。慢性乙醇处理增加了脂肪酸转运蛋白FATP-2 mRNA的表达的两倍,导致显着的肝脂肪变性,氧化应激,血清ALT的两倍升高。然而,没有观察到肿瘤坏死因子-α或转化生长因子-β表达的变化。通过Masson三色和苦味酸天狼星红染色测量的纤维化,以及I型和III型胶原mRNA表达的两倍增加,仅在EtOH处理后观察到。长期乙醇处理增加肝细胞增殖,但没有修改hedgehog途径配体或靶基因或调节上皮细胞间质转化的基因的肝mRNA。虽然NAC对EtOH诱导的纤维化的影响不能完全评估,但NAC对肝细胞增殖具有累加作用,并防止EtOH诱导的氧化应激和坏死,尽管未能逆转肝脂肪变性。
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were chronically fed a high-unsaturated-fat diet for 130 days by using total enteral nutrition (TEN), or the same diet in which ethanol (EtOH) isocalorically replaced carbohydrate calories. Additional groups were supplemented with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) at 1.7 g.kg(-1).day(-1). Relative to an ad libitum chow-fed group, the high-fat-fed controls had three-to fourfold greater expression of fatty acid transporter CD36 mRNA and developed mild steatosis but little other hepatic pathology. NAC treatment resulted in increased somatic growth relative to controls (4.0 +/- 0.1 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.1 g/day) and increased hepatic steatosis score (3.5 +/- 0.6 vs. 2.7 +/- 1.2), associated with suppression of the triglyceride hydrolyzing protein adiponutrin, but produced no elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Chronic EtOH treatment increased expression of fatty acid transport protein FATP-2 mRNA twofold, resulting in marked hepatic steatosis, oxidative stress, and a twofold elevation in serum ALT. However, no changes in tumor necrosis factor-alpha or transforming growth factor-beta expression were observed. Fibrosis, as measured by Masson's trichrome and picrosirius red staining, and a twofold increase in expression of type I and type III collagen mRNA, was only observed after EtOH treatment. Long-term EtOH treatment increased hepatocyte proliferation but did not modify the hepatic mRNAs for hedgehog pathway ligands or target genes or genes regulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Although the effects of NAC on EtOH-induced fibrosis could not be fully evaluated, NAC had additive effects on hepatocyte proliferation and prevented EtOH-induced oxidative stress and necrosis, despite a failure to reverse hepatic steatosis.
