Abstract

In Korea, China, and Japan, Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis, and fever for more than 1200 years. It has been reported that PL has protective effects against $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress and LPS-induced liver inflammation. However cellular and molecular mechanism of PL protection against oxidative stress has not fully been elucidated. Here, we describe that the water-soluble extract of PL decreased $H_2O_2$-induced hepatotoxicity. This hepatoprotective effect of PL is reason to decrease the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) which proteins are involved in protecting the cells from stress like as oxidative stress. We also elucidated that hepatoprotective effect of PL was abolished by knock down of HO-1 and HSP72 by siRNA. These results suggest that the increasing of HO-1 and HSP72 protein by PL treatment might be participated in hepatoprotective effect against oxidative stress such as $H_2O_2$.
