Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type
1 (11β-HSD1) in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the intervention
effect of emodin. Methods Total of 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control
group, model group and treatment group, 10 cases in each group. Rats in control group were
fed with normal diet, and rats in model and treatment group were fed with high-fat diet. The
treatment group was given emodin from the 9th week, and the experiment was completed at
the end of the 14th week. The hepatic index of rats was calculated, and biochemical indexes
of blood and liver tissues were detected, including alaninne aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate
aminotransferase (AST), totalcholesterol (TG), triglycerides (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL),
free fatty acid (FFA) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). The relative expression of 11β-HSD1
mRNA in liver tissue was detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the
relative expression of 11β-HSD1 protein was detected by Western blot. Liver histopathology was
observed under a light microscope. Results The hepatic indexes of rats in control group, model
group and treatment group were (23.4 ± 1.2) mg/g, (25.66 ± 0.99) mg/g and (24.10 ± 1.8) mg/g,
respectively, the difference was statistically significant (F = 7.230, P = 0.003). Compared with
control group, hepatic index of rats in model group increased significantly (t = 3.725, P <
0.001). Compared with model group, hepatic index of rats in the treatment group decreased
significantly (t = 2.523, P = 0.029). The differences of serum ALT [(42.60 ± 8.78) U/L vs (70.00 ±
11.60) U/L vs (48.90 ± 12.25) U/L], AST [(99.40 ± 12.99) U/L vs (186.00 ± 20.49) U/L vs (144.7 ±
17.30) U/L], TC [(1.53 ± 0.17) mmol/L vs (2.11 ± 0.15) mmol/L vs (1.66 ± 0.21) mmol/L], TG
[(0.59 ± 0.06) mmol/L vs (0.68 ± 0.06) mmol/L vs (0.64 ± 0.05) mmol/L, HDL [(1.05 ± 0.10) mmol/L
vs (0.81 ± 0.10) mmol/L vs (0.92 ± 0.09) mmol/L, FFA [(648 ± 52) μmol/L vs (1081 ± 53) μmol/L vs
(764 ± 72) μmol/L] and TNF-α [(0.288 ± 0.068) μg/L vs (0.669 ± 0.051) μg/L vs (0.488 ± 0.054) μg/L] of
rats in control group, model group and treatment group were statistically significant (all
P < 0.001). Compared with control group, the serum levels of ALT, AST, TC, TG, FFA and
TNF-α of rats in model group increased significantly (all P < 0.001) and HDL decreased
significantly (P < 0.001). Compared with model group, the above indexes in the treatment
group were significantly improved (all P < 0.05). The differences of liver TC [ (1.44 ± 0.12) mmol/g
vs (2.10 ± 0.24) mmol/g vs (1.63 ± 0.24) mmol/g], TG [(4.58 ± 0.41) mmol/g vs (5.73 ± 0.39) mmol/g
vs (4.89 ± 0.32) mmol/g], FFA [(625 ± 95) μmol/g vs (1436 ± 174) μmol/g vs (803 ± 152) μmol/g]
and TNF-α [(0.506 ± 0.104) μg/g vs (1.124 ± 0.104) μg/g vs (0.855 ± 0.098) μg/g] of rats in
control group, model group and treatment group were statistically significant (all P < 0.001).
Compared with control group, there was obvious lipid deposition in liver of rats in model
group with increasing levels of TC, TG, FFA and TNF-α (all P < 0.001). Compared with
model group, all the above indexes of rats in treatment group were significantly decreased
(all P < 0.001). The differences of 11β-HSD1 mRNA (0.052 ± 0.006 vs 0.194 ± 0.026 vs
0.104 ± 0.020) and protein (0.112 ± 0.026 vs 0.380 ± 0.096 vs 0.195 ± 0.038) in liver tissues
of rats in control group, model group and treatment group were statistically significant (all P <
0.001). Compared with control group, the expression of 11β-HSD1 mRNA and protein of rats
in model group were significantly increased (all P < 0.001); compared with model group,
the expression of 11β-HSD1 mRNA and protein of rats in treatment group were significantly
decreased (all P < 0.001). Pathological examination of liver tissue showed that the cell
structure of liver tissue was intact and the hepatic lobule was clear in control group. Hepatic
steatosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in model group. Compared with
model group, liver tissue degeneration and inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly
reduced in treatment group. Conclusions Emodin can reduce hepatic index, improve liver
function, reduce blood lipid and lipid deposition in liver, alleviate pathological changes of
liver tissue, and significantly inhibit the expression of 11β-HSD1 mRNA and protein in liver
tissue of rats with NAFLD, suggesting that emodin has a protective effect on NAFLD, and its
mechanism may be related to the inhibition of 11β-HSD1 activity.
