    Abstract:

    Objective:Applied mast cell stabilizers to investigate the role of central nervous system(CNS) mast cells in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced liver inflammation. Methods:Stabilized brain mast cells by site-directed injection of cromolyn in rat right hypothalamus using stereotaxic techniques in vivo. Liver histopathological changes were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 6(IL-6),thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH),triiodothyronine(T3),and thyroxine(T4)were measured with commercial ELISA kits. Cell signaling proteins were analyzed by Western blot. Results:LPS administration induced increase of serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels,liver pathology and mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPK),serine-threonine kinase(AKT),and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling activation. Furthermore,stabilization of CNS mast cells can ameliorate LPS-induced liver inflammation and MAPK,AKT,and NF-κB signaling pathway activation in vivo. Stabilization of CNS mast cells also alleviated LPS-induced decrease of TSH and T3 levels,and increase of T4 level in the peripheral blood and brain hypothalamus. Conclusion:Stabilization of CNS mast cells can delay the pathogenesis of LPS-induced liver inflammation,which is participated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.
