Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of the Jieduan-Niwan Formula (JDNW)on the serum tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)content,the expression of p-JNK and transcription factor c-Jun in acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)rats,to discuss part of the action mechanism of intervention of in ACLF. Methods SPF 70 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,JDNW group and JNK inhibitor SP600125 group,to inject pig serum to induce rat liver fibrosis model,and then acute attack combined with D-GalN/LPS,ACLF model was established. Rats in JDNW group were orally given JDNW formula for 3 days before acute attack.Rats in SP600125 group giving intraperitoneal injection half an hour before acute attack.Rats were sacrificed, respectively at 4,8 and 12 h after model established.The expression of TNF-α,c-Jun,p-JNK were detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay(ELISA),western blot method and immunohistochemical analysis, respectively. Results Compared with normal group,the expression of TNF-α,p-JNK,c-Jun of model group were gradually increased;compared with the model group,the expression of TNF-α,p-JNK,c-Jun of JDNW and SP600125 group in 4h and 8h was less(P<0.05),and the expression of 12h increased; the different expression of SP600125 group was in accordance with the JDNW group. Conclusion The prescription of JDNWcan reduce the damage of rat liver cell ACLF in a certain extent,its mechanism may be through cell apoptosis mediated by JNK signaling pathway,thereby protecting liver cells,inhibiting liver failure.
