| Abstract | Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose accounts for the majority of acute liver failure cases, and oxidative stress plays a key role in its toxic effects. Esculentoside A (EsA) has anti-oxidant activities, but its therapeutic potential for APAP hepatotoxicity remains unknown. This study aimed to assess the protective effects and mechanism of EsA against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, EsA treatment inhibited APAP- or H O -induced cytotoxicity, H O and O production, glutathione (GSH) depletion and apoptosis dependent on nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation in HepG2 cells. Moreover, EsA significantly increased the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and serine/threonine kinase (Akt), as well as glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3ß) inhibitory phosphorylation at Ser9. Furthermore, an AMPK inhibitor (compound c) abolished the effects of EsA on AKT phosphorylation, GSK-3ß inactivation, Nrf2 nuclear translocation and cytoprotection. With regard to APAP-induced acute liver injury, EsA attenuated the APAP-stimulated increases in the serum ALT and AST levels, as well as centrilobular necrosis and GSH depletion in the mice. In addition, it decreased the GSSG level, GSSG-to-GSH ratio, and the phosphorylation and mitochondrial translocation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Further, the protective potential of EsA against mitochondrial dysfunction was exhibited not only by inhibiting Bax mitochondrial translocation and the release of mitochondrial inter-membrane proteins, such as apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), but also by activating Nrf2/HO-1. Collectively, our findings suggest that EsA has protective potential against APAP toxicity by potentiating the Nrf2-regulated survival mechanism through the AMPK/Akt/GSK3ß pathway. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
