The energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is crucial for energy
homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that AMPK is involved in various
energy-intensive pathological processes such as inflammation and apoptosis. The
physiological functions of hepatic AMPK have been well studied, but the
pathological significance of AMPK in liver disorders remains largely unknown. In
the present study, the phosphorylation status and the roles of AMPK were
investigated in mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/d-galactosamine
(D-Gal)-induced fulminant hepatitis. The experimental data indicated that the
phosphorylation of hepatic AMPK increased in mice with LPS/D-Gal-induced
fulminant hepatitis. Pretreatment with the AMPK inhibitor compound C enhanced the
early production of pro-inflammatory cytokines but suppressed the late activation
of the caspase cascade, reduced the number of TUNEL-positive cells, decreased the
elevation of aminotransferases, alleviated the histological abnormalities and
improved the survival rate of LPS/D-Gal-insulted mice. Pretreatment with compound
C suppressed LPS/D-Gal-induced phosphorylation of JNK. Inhibition of JNK
alleviated LPS/D-Gal-induced liver injury, but the level of p53 remained
unchanged in mice exposed to LPS/D-Gal. Post-insult treatment with the AMPK
activator A-769662 further increased the phosphorylation levels of AMPK and JNK,
enhanced hepatocyte apoptosis and deteriorated liver injury, all of these effects
could be reversed by co-administration of the AMPK inhibitor or JNK inhibitor.
Interestingly, post-insult treatment with the AMPK inhibitor also resulted in
beneficial outcomes. These data suggested that AMPK might be a late detrimental
factor in LPS/D-Gal-induced hepatitis via potentiating JNK-dependent hepatocyte
apoptosis and AMPK might become a pharmacological target for the intervention of
fulminant hepatitis.
