Abstract
Background: The liver and kidney inflammation due to bacterial infection is one of the most common pathological problems leading to tissue damage or disease. In many liver and kidney disorders, which represent serious global health burden with a high economic cost, oxidative stress-related inflammation and apoptosis are important pathogenic components, finally resulting in acute liver and/or kidney failure. Erythropoietin and its analogues are well known to influence the interaction between apoptosis and inflammation in liver and kidney. Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate and clarify the effect of Galaxaura oblongata (G. oblongata) red algae on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced acute liver and kidney injury of mice with endotoxemia and associated molecular mechanism from inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress levels. Results: The current study cleared out that treatment of rats with the G. oblongata extract prior to LPS injection significantly lowered serum cytokines, including NF-κB, MPO and LPO, and improved liver apoptosis through suppressing protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway, and that may be due to antibacterial activity as well antioxidant capacity of G. oblongata extract. Conclusion: The present study was cleared out the possibility of administration of G. oblongata red algae as a multi products source for biotechnological, medical, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications due to highly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities even although more investigations are required for separating, purifying and characterizing these bioactive compounds.
Highlights
Inflammation is defined as a process that protects our body from foreign material and infection, such as fungi, virus and bacteria
The results of the current study showed that LPS-treated group had a highly significant (P < 0.01) increase in both the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities (75.3.22 +− 20.26 U/ml and 225.6 +− 10.39 U/ml, respectively) compared with the -ve control group (32.77 +− 1.454 U/ml and 78.1 +− 5.74 U/ml, respectively)
G. oblongata marine extract treatment group did not show a significant change in the activities of ALT and AST compared with the control group
Summary
Inflammation is defined as a process that protects our body from foreign material and infection, such as fungi, virus and bacteria. Inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in protecting cellular physiological conditions, it is essential that inflammation is tailored to the initiating stress and resolves in a timely and controlled way, to avoid pathology associated with chronicity. The liver and kidney inflammation due to bacterial infection is one of the most common pathological problems leading to tissue damage or disease.
