Abstract
Aim Doxorubicin (DOX) has long been criticized for its cardiotoxicity, yet one cannot overlook its hepatotoxicity. Deoxyschizandrin (Deo) is a type of monomer used in traditional Chinese medicine that has a powerful anti-inflammatory action and is frequently used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases. However, its therapeutic effect on DOX-induced hepatotoxic inflammatory reactions is still unknown. Materials and Methods In this study, DOX was used to induce hepatotoxicity in rats, and the effects of Deo on hepatotoxicity and hepatic inflammation were investigated. Results The results show that Deo protects liver function by inhibiting PETN, which regulates DOX-induced liver inflammation. Conclusion The anti-inflammatory effect of Deo in DOX-induced hepatotoxicity is attributed to the inhibition of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) and the increase in AKT phosphorylation.
