    Introduction. Histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitor has the effect of anti-tumor and inhibiting apoptosis, and could inhibit the release of inflammatory factors, reducing the damage to liver and enterocytes in acute liver failure (ALF). HDAC2 specific inhibitor CAY10683 was used to verify the protective effect on acute liver failure through reducing intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis by inhibiting mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Materials and methods. Lipopolysaccharide/D- galactosamine (LPS/D-GalN) was used to induce ALF in Sprague-Dawley rats. A total of 18 healthy rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats in ALF group and CAY10683 group were given the same amount of normal sodium or CAY10683 2 hours before ALF model protocol was conducted. NCM460 cells were given LPS/D-GalN to establish an apoptotic model. Flow cytometry analysis was used to determine the apoptosis of enterocytes, and TUNEL assay was used to observe the apoptosis of NCM460 cells. The expression of bax was observed by immunofluorescence. The expression of histone proteins, HDAC2 and molecules in the apoptotic signaling pathway were determined by Western blotting and real-time PCR. Results. CAY10683 improves histological and functional changes in ALF model. Compared with control group, LPS/D-GalN induced massive apoptosis of rat intestinal tissues and NCM460 cells (P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate was significantly reduced after CAY10683 treatment (P<0.05). The expression of bax was increased significantly in the model groups (P<0.05), and reduced with the treatment of CAY10683 (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, CAY10683 inhibits mitochondrial apoptosis in intestinal tissues and NCM460 cells (P<0.05). Conclusion. CAY10683 reduces the damage to liver and intestinal tissue, and plays an important role in inhibiting mitochondrial apoptosis in ALF rats and in NCM460 cells

    Histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor ACY1215 ameliorates mitochondrial dynamic and function injury in hepatocytes by activating AMPK signaling pathway in acute liver failure mice

    Acute liver failure (ALF) is often accompanied by dynamic and functional disorders of mitochondria in hepatocytes. The histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor Rocilinostat (ACY1215) has a hepatoprotective effect. However, its protective effect on mitochondria of hepatocytes and its related mechanisms in ALF remain unknown. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the protective effect of ACY1215 on mitochondrial of hepatocytes in ALF by regulating AMPK signaling pathway. LPS and D-Gal were used to induce ALF model in C57BL/6 mice. D-Gal and TNF-α were applied in L02 cells as model group. ACY1215 was administered to the mice or culture cells before the model' s establishment as ACY1215 group. The normal group in mice and L02 cells was not given any drug intervention. ACY1215 improves liver histological and functional changes in ALF model mice. Compared with normal group, the expression of p-AMPK and p-ACC proteins was decreased in model group. ACY1215 activated the AMPK signaling pathway with an increase of p-AMPK and p-ACC proteins level in model group. ACY1215 treatment decreased levels of mitochondrial fission proteins DRP1 and FIS1, and enhanced levels of mitochondrial fusion proteins MFN1, MFN2 and OPA1 in models. MtDNA copies in model group was decreased compared with normal group, but ACY1215 elevated the mtDNA copies in models. Mitochondrial respiratory electron transfer chain Complex I-III and citrate synthase (CS) activities in model group were decreased compared with normal group, but ACY1215 treatment enhanced these activities in model group. ACY1215 protects against dynamic disorders and dysfunction of mitochondria in hepatocytes in ALF by activating AMPK signaling pathway.
