Abstract: Objective To observe the protective effect of Ghrelin on high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury and preliminarily explore its mechanism. Methods A high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury model was established and Ghrelin10-7 mmol / L was used for intervention. The experiment were randomly divided into blank control group Ghrelin + blank control group high glucose group and Ghrelin + high glucose group. The cell proliferation rate and expression levels of alanine aminotransferaseALT), malondialdehydeMDA and superoxide dismutaseSOD were detected. The mRNA expression levels of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinaseCaspase-1), interleukin-18IL-18 and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the expression of gasdermin DGSDMD protein was detected by immunofluorescence technique. Results Ghrelin could decrease the content of ALT and MDA increas the SOD content and significantly reduce the expression levels of pyroptosis-related factors Caspase-1 IL-18 IL-1β mRNA and GSDMD protein. Conclusion Ghrelin has a protective effect on high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury and one of its mechanisms may be to relieve oxidative stress and inhibit Caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis.
