英文摘要 | Tetrandrine, a bisbenylisoquinoline alkaloid isolated from the dried root of Stephenia tetrandra (S Moore), possesses a remarkable pharmacological profile. However, the mechanisms of tetrandrine hepatotoxicity remain to be elucidated. In this study, we first proved apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by tetrandrine in Sprague-Dawley rat liver in vivo. By further assuming apoptosis as an important mechanism in tetrandrine-induced hepatotoxicity, we focused on mitochondria-initiated apoptosis in primary hepatocytes isolated from Sprague-Dawley male rats. Tetrandrine treatment led to significant release of cytochrome c and downregulation of Bcl-X-L accompanied by caspase 3 activation, and ultimately, DNA fragmentation. Caspase 3 activation was markedly inhibited by cyclosporin A (CsA) and Ac-DEVD-CHO. Furthermore, Endo G, a caspase-independent apoptotic protein, was detected for its expression and DNase activity. CsA blocked the release both of Endo G and cytochrome c significantly. Additionally, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased in a time-dependent manner corresponding with a fall in intracellular GSH content after 10 mu M tetrandrine treatment in 4h. Tetrandrine also induced mitochondrial dysfunction indicated by transition of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and decrease of intracellular ATP level. The findings indicated that the caspase-dependent mitochondrial apoptosis pathway was primarily involved in tetrandrine-induced apoptosis in rat primary hepatocytes. In addition, a caspase-independent pathway indicated by Endo G also contributed to apoptosis caused by tetrandrine. Meanwhile, ROS was proved an important inducer in this apoptosis process.
