Effect and Mechanism of Apple Polyphenols in Regulating Intestinal Flora and Inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β Signaling Pathway to Alleviate Alcoholic Liver Fibrosis
Apple polyphenols (APs) have gained attention for their various bioactivities, while no studies on anti-liver fibrosis activity are reported. This study evaluated the protective effect of APs on liver fibrosis using LPS-treated activated HSC-T6 cells and alcohol-treated liver fibrosis (ALF) mice. The results indicated that APs inhibited HSC-T6 cells activation in vitro and reduced the level of serum hyaluronic acid (HA) (p < 0.05), decreased fibrogenesis marker expression (p < 0.05), thereby alleviating ALF. In addition, APs (800 mg/kg b.w.) decreased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (p < 0.05) in ALF mice, inhibited LPS accumulation in the liver tissue and serum (p < 0.05), and significantly inhibited the TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β signaling in mice liver. In conclusion, APs markedly ameliorated ALF, possibly by improving gut microbiota homeostasis, decreasing the translocation of bacterial endotoxins to the blood, and suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β signaling pathway, indicating its potential as lead compounds for functional foods and/or drugs against ALF.
期刊介绍:
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition (previously Qualitas Plantarum) is an international journal that publishes reports of original research and critical reviews concerned with the improvement and evaluation of the nutritional quality of plant foods for humans, as they are influenced by:
- Biotechnology (all fields, including molecular biology and genetic engineering)
- Food science and technology
- Functional, nutraceutical or pharma foods
- Other nutrients and non-nutrients inherent in plant foods
