Mangiferin alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress in acute liver injury by regulating the miR-20a/miR-101a-Nrf2 axis.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of mangiferin on regulating ER stress in acute liver injury. The mouse model of acute liver injury was established by injection of LPS/D-GalN. The primary mouse hepatocytes were stimulated with LPS to induce the in vitro model. The effect of miR-142-5p/212-5p on the luciferase activity of c-Myc 3'-UTR was assessed by luciferase reporter assay. ts: Mangiferin improved the liver function, inhibited the oxidative stress and ER stress, and down-regulated the expressions of miR-20a and miR-101a in LPS/D-GalN-induced mice and LPS-induced hepatocytes. The knockdown of miR-20a and miR-101a cooperatively alleviated ER stress of LPS-induced hepatocytes. miR-20a and miR-101a both targeted Nrf2 and the over-expression of miR-20a or miR-101a decreased Nrf2 protein level, while their silences increased Nrf2 protein level. The silence of miR-20a and miR-101a promoted Nrf2 expression and inhibited the ER stress in LPS-induced hepatocytes, while the knockdown of Nrf2 reversed these effects. The over-expression of miR-20a and miR-101a eliminated the effects of mangiferin on Nrf2 protein level and ER stress in LPS-induced hepatocytes, and Nrf2 overexpression altered these trends. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that mangiferin alleviates ER stress in acute liver injury by regulating the miR-20a/miR-101a-Nrf2 axis.
