EGR1 is crucial for the chlorogenic acid-provided promotion on liver regeneration and repair after APAP-induced liver injury
Abstract
Improper use of acetaminophen (APAP) will induce acute liver failure. This study is designed to investigate whether early growth response-1 (EGR1) participated in the promotion on liver repair and regeneration after APAP-induced hepatotoxicity provided by natural compound chlorogenic acid (CGA). APAP induced the nuclear accumulation of EGR1 in hepatocytes regulated by extracellular-regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2. In Egr1 knockout (KO) mice, the liver damage caused by APAP (300 mg/kg) was more severe than in wild-type (WT) mice. Results of chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-Seq) manifested that EGR1 could bind to the promoter region in Becn1, Ccnd1, and Sqstm1 (p62) or the catalytic/modify subunit of glutamate-cysteine ligase (Gclc/Gclm). Autophagy formation and APAP-cysteine adduct (APAP-CYS) clearance were decreased in Egr1 KO mice administered with APAP. The EGR1 deletion reduced hepatic cyclin D1 expression at 6, 12, or 18 h post APAP administration. Meanwhile, the EGR1 deletion also decreased hepatic p62, Gclc and Gclm expression, GCL enzymatic activity, and glutathione (GSH) content and decreased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation and thus aggravated oxidative liver injury induced by APAP. CGA increased EGR1 nuclear accumulation; enhanced hepatic Ccnd1, p62, Gclc, and Gclm expression; and accelerated the liver regeneration and repair in APAP-intoxicated mice. In conclusion, EGR1 deficiency aggravated liver injury and obviously delayed liver regeneration post APAP-induced hepatotoxicity through inhibiting autophagy, enhancing liver oxidative injury, and retarding cell cycle progression, but CGA promoted the liver regeneration and repair in APAP-intoxicated mice via inducing EGR1 transcriptional activation.
