Metabolomics analysis reveals the protective effect of quercetin-3-O-galactoside (Hyperoside) on liver injury in mice induced by acetaminophen.

Abstract

We investigated the protective effect of Hyperoside (HPS) on liver injury induced by acetaminophen (APAP) in C57 mice. HPS was administered orally for 7 days and APAP was administered orally on the 7th day. Serum and liver samples were then collected for biochemical analyses, histopathology assessments, and metabolomics studies. Metabolites were assessed using a UHPLC-MS system. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to process the data. Pathway analyses were performed using Metaboanalyst 4.0. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to determine the protein and mRNA levels, respectively. HPS interacted with active sites in CYP2E1 and caused protein degradation. In conclusion, our results suggested that HPS prevented the oxidative stress-induced liver injury caused by APAP. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hyperoside was shown to have potential protective and therapeutic effects against liver diseases. Male C57 mice were used to perform pharmacodynamic, pharmacology, and metabolomics evaluations. At a dose of 60 mg/kg, HPS prevented oxidative stress-induced liver injury caused by APAP by regulating the glutathione-related metabolites and enzymes through the inhibition of CYP2E1.
