Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma participates in nimesulide-induced hepatic damage

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the participation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in the liver damage caused by nimesulide. Methods Liver damage been induced by nimesulide. Mice were treated with either 2% dimethyl sulfoxide or AS605240, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma pathway antagonist. Blood samples were collected for function assays of liver. The liver was removed for analysis of liver weight/animal weight ratio, histopathological parameters, oxidative and nitrous stress, cytokine levels, and the immunostaining for cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor kappa B. Key findings Liver injured by nimesulide and treated with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma inhibitor significantly reversed (P < 0.05) the damage; it decreased the liver weight/animal weight ratio, histopathological scores, and neutrophil infiltration, consequently reducing oxidative stress. In addition, we show that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma is associated with hepatic damage induced by nimesulide, because it altered liver function and increased the protein immunostaining of cyclooxygenase 2 and nuclear factor kappa B in the liver tissue of nimesulide-treated animals. Conclusions The findings from the present study allows us to infer that nimesulide causes liver damage through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma pathway.

Также обнаружено, что NIM провоцирует у крыс линии Wistar холестаз [13], а у крыс линии Sprague-Dowley и мышей линии Swiss повышает уровень печеночных трансаминаз в крови, вызывает гиперплазию печеночных протоков и дегенерацию гепатоцитов [14,15].…”

“…In addition, SOD is associated with inflammatory diseases and oxidative stress. 37,38 The increase in SOD and GSH levels and the decrease in MDA content suggest that high doses of CAROL may protect the liver by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and enhancing the antioxidant defense system. In rats intervened with CAROL, the hepatoprotective effects of CAROL were, at least in part, caused by their radical scavenging and antioxidant activities.…”
