BACKGROUND: Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is unavoid-able in liver transplantation and hepatectomy. The present study aimed to explore the possible mechanism and the effect of oleanolic acid (OA) in hepatic IRI. METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups based on different treatment. IRI model: The hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct to the left and median liver lobes (70% of the liver) were occluded with an atraumatic bulldog clamp for 90 minutes and then the clamp was removed for reperfusion. The mice were sacriifced 6 hours after reperfusion, and blood and liver tissues were collected. Liver injury was evaluated by biochemical and histopathologic examinations. The expressions of Sesn2, PI3K, Akt and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were mea-sured with quantitative real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: The serum aminotransferases level and scores of he-patic histology were increased after reperfusion. The increase was attenuated by pretreatment with OA (P<0.01). Compared with the IR group, OA pretreatment signiifcantly up-regulated the expression of Sesn2, PI3K, Akt and HO-1 in IR livers (P<0.05). Administration of zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), an inhibitor of HO-1, diminished the OA effect on HO-1 and Sesn2 expressions (P<0.05) and the protective effect of OA on IRI. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that OA can attenu-ate hepatic IRI. The protective mechanism may be related to the OA-induced HO-1/Sesn2 signaling pathway.
