Sinensetin attenuates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury through suppressing GRP78/CHOP-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in mice by Yihong Yang, Guanghua Xiong, Huangqi Shi, Yulin Peng, Jinghong Liu, Yaxuan Jiang, Min Lu, Hongbo Liu, Yong Liu

“…We also evaluated the protective effect of sinensetin in mice liver I/R injury through histopathological observation, enzyme activity, immunofluorescence, Western blot, molecular docking, and molecular pharmacology experiments.ResultsIn our study, we have successfully established the mouse HIRI injury model, and the liver function indicators such as ALT, AST and LDH were significantly increased in the HIRI model group, while SEN pretreatment could lead to a significant decrease in these enzymatic activities, especially perfusion at 6 h. In addition, hepatocytic necrosis and lipid deposition were significantly improved under SEN pretreatment conditions compared to the HIRI group alone. …”
