Liver fibrosis is a global health problem and its relationship with imidazoline
I2 receptor has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the effects
and underlying mechanisms of imidazoline I2 receptor (I2R) inhibitor idazoxan
(IDA) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis. In vivo liver
fibrosis in mice was induced by intraperitoneally injections of CCl4 for eight
weeks, and in vitro studies were performed on activated LX2 cells treated with
transforming growth factor-? (TGF-?). Our results showed that IDA significantly
improved liver inflammation, ameliorated hepatic stellate cells activation and
reduced collagen accumulation by suppressing the pro-fibrogenic signaling of
TGF-?/Smad. Further investigation showed that IDA significantly balanced
oxidative stress through improving the expressions and activities of anti-oxidant
and detoxifying enzymes and activating Nrf2-the key defender against oxidative
stress with anti-fibrotic potentials. Even more impressively, knock out of Nrf2
or suppression of Akt by perifosine (PE) eliminated the anti-oxidant and
anti-fibrotic effects of IDA in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that Akt/Nrf2
constitutes a critical component of IDA's protective functions. Taken together,
IDA exhibits potent effects against liver fibrosis via Akt-Nrf2-Smad2/3 signaling
pathway, which suggests that specifically targeting I2R may be a potentially
useful therapeutic strategy for liver fibrosis.
