Abstract
- Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) plays an important role in maintaining normal mitochondrial function and alleviating oxidative stress. After carbon tetrachloride (CCl <subscript>4</subscript> ) administration, the expression of SIRT3 decreased in the liver of mice, which indicated that the SIRT3 might play a crucial role during chemical-induced acute hepatic injury. To verify the hypothesis, CCl <subscript>4</subscript> was given to induce acute hepatic injury in SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) mice. CCl <subscript>4</subscript> -induced liver injury was more severe in SIRT3 KO mice compared with the WT mice. In addition, the oxidative stress induced by CCl <subscript>4</subscript> was enhanced in the SIRT3 KO mice. Furthermore, the increased expression of dynamin-related protein 1 was also aggravated in SIRT3 KO mice after CCl <subscript>4</subscript> administration. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that SIRT3 deficiency exacerbated CCl <subscript>4</subscript> -induced impairment of the liver in mice, and the mechanism might be related to enhanced oxidative stress.<br /> (© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)
