Protective effects of polydatin against CCl(4)-induced injury to primarily cultured rat hepatocytes.
AIM:To investigate the protective effects of polydatin (PD) against injury to primarily cultured rat hepatocytes induced by CCl(4).METHODS:Rat hepatocytes were separated by methods of liver infusion in vivo and cultured medium (7.5X10(5) cells/mL). Two mL or 0.2mL was added into 24-well or 96-well plates respectively. Twenty-four hours after cell preculture, PD at concentrations of 10(-7) mol/L-10(-4)mol/L was added into each plate. At the same time injury to hepatocytes was induced by adding 10mmol/L CCl(4).Then, 0.1mL or 1mL culture solution was removed from the 96-well or 24-well plates at 6h, 12h, 24h and 48h after CCl14 intoxication respectively for the determination of GPT, GSH and MDA. At 48h, the survivability of rat hepatocytes was assayed by the MTT colormetric method.RESULTS:After CCl(4) challenge, the release of GPT and the formation of MDA in rat hepatocytes markedly increased and maintained at a high level in 48h, whereas PD with different concentrations could markedly inhibit this elevation with 10(-5)mol/L PD having the strongest effects and inhibiting rate was over 50%. PD could also improve the decreased content of GSH caused by CCl(4) in accordance with the doses used. CCl(4) evidently decreased the hepatocyte survivability from 91.0% ± 7.9% to 35.4% ± 3.8%. On the other hand, PD at 10(-7)mol/L-10(-4)mol/L could reverse this change and improve the cell survival rates to 56.1% ± 5.2%, 65.8% ± 5.0%, 88.7% ± 6.8% and 75.2% ± 7.3%, respectively.CONCLUSION: PD at 10(-7)mol/L-10(-4)mol/L could protect primarily cultured rat hepatocytes against CCl(4) induced injury.
