AbstractWe investigated the protective effects of two non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, indomethacin (COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors) and nimesulide (specific COX-2 inhibitor) on the hepatic injury induced by lipopolysaccharide in d-galactosamine sensitized (Gal/LPS) mice. ICR male mice were injected with a single dose of Gal/LPS with or without pre-treatment of 3. mg/kg indomethacin or 30. mg/kg nimesulide (single i.p. injection). Sixteen hours later, blood and liver tissues of mice were collected for histological, molecular, and biochemical analyses. Our results showed marked reduction of hepatic necrosis, serum ALT, and tissue TBARS levels in both indomethacin- and nimesulide-pre-treated mice when compared with Gal/LPS-treated mice. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis showed decreased levels of iNOS mRNA, iNOS protein, and nitrotyrosine formation in both COX inhibitor pre-treated groups when compared with Gal/LPS-treated group. There was an inverse relationship between COX-1 and COX-2 expressions, as well as between COX-2 and C/EBP-α expressions in COX inhibitors groups, Gal/LPS and control groups. COX inhibitors reduced the expression of TNF-α mRNA and the activity of NF-κB which were elevated by Gal/LPS treatment. We conclude that COX inhibitors protected the liver from Gal/LPS-induced hepatotoxicity. COX inhibitors could be considered as potential agents in the prevention of acute liver failure and sepsis. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
