Oroxin B improves metabolic-associated fatty liver disease by alleviating gut microbiota dysbiosis in a high-fat diet-induced rat model.
    European journal of pharmacology, 2023, Jul-15, Volume: 951

    Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become a common chronic liver disease, but there is no FDA-approved drug for MAFLD treatment. Numerous studies have revealed that gut microbiota dysbiosis exerts a crucial effect on MAFLD progression. Oroxin B is a constituent of the traditional Chinese medicine Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz. (O. indicum), which has the characteristics of low oral bioavailability but high bioactivity. However, the mechanism through which oroxin B improves MAFLD by restoring the gut microbiota balance remains unclear. To this end, we assessed the anti-MAFLD effect of oroxin B in HFD-fed rats and investigated the underlying mechanism. Our results indicated that oroxin B administration reduced the lipid levels in the plasma and liver and lowered the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in the plasma. Moreover, oroxin B alleviated hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Mechanistically, oroxin B modulated the gut microbiota structure in HFD-fed rats by increasing the levels of Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, and Eubacterium and decreasing the levels of Tomitella, Bilophila, Acetanaerobacterium, and Faecalibaculum. Furthermore, oroxin B not only suppressed Toll-like receptor 4-inhibitor kappa B-nuclear factor kappa-B-interleukin 6/tumor necrosis factor-α (TLR4-IκB-NF-κB-IL-6/TNF-α) signal transduction but also strengthened the intestinal barrier by elevating the expression of zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1) and zonula occludens 2 (ZO-2). In summary, these results demonstrate that oroxin B could alleviate hepatic inflammation and MAFLD progression by regulating the gut microbiota balance and strengthening the intestinal barrier. Hence, our study suggests that oroxin B is a promising effective compound for MAFLD treatment.
