| 英文摘要 | zuotai is composed mainly of beta-hgs, while cinnabar mainly contains alpha-hgs. both forms of hgs are used in traditional medicines and their safety is of concern. this study aimed to compare the hepatotoxicity potential of zuotai and alpha-hgs with mercury chloride (hgcl2) and methylmercury (mehg) in mice. mice were orally administrated with zuotai (30 mg/kg), alpha-hgs (hgs, 30 mg/kg), hgcl2 (33.6 mg/kg), or ch3hgcl (3.1 mg/kg) for 7 days, and liver injury and gene expressions related to toxicity, inflammation and nrf2 were examined. animal body weights were decreased by hgcl2 and to a less extent by mehg. hgcl2 and mehg produced spotted hepatocyte swelling and inflammation, while such lesions are mild in zuotai and hgs-treated mice. liver hg contents reached 45-70 ng/mg in hgcl2 and mehg groups; but only 1-2 ng/mg in zuotai and hgs groups. hgcl2 and mehg increased the expression of liver injury biomarker genes metallothionein-1 (mt-1) and heme oxygenase-1 (ho-1); the inflammation biomarkers early growth response gene (egr1), glutathione s-transferase (gst-mu), chemokine (mkc) and microphage inflammatory protein (mip-2), while these changes were insignificant in zuotai and hgs groups. however, all mercury compounds were able to increase the nrf2 pathway genes nad(p)h:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (nqo1) and glutamate-cysteine ligase, catalytic subunit (gclc). in conclusion, the ti-betan medicine zuotai and hgs are less hepatotoxic than hgcl2 and mehg, and differ from hgcl2 and mehg in hepatic hg accumulation and toxicological responses.
