Objective To investigate the protective effect of fisetin (FIS) against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in rat hepatocytes and its mechanism. Methods H/R injury model of BRL-3A cells was established and the cells were pretreated with FIS. Survival rate was detected by CCK-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The levels of ALT and AST were determined by microplate assay. The production of TNF-α and IL-1β were detected by ELISA. The mRNA and protein levels of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results After subjected to H/R, cell survival rate decreased and the apoptosis level increased. The levels of ALT and AST in cell supernatant were elevated, so were the production of TNF-α and IL-1β. FIS pretreatment increased the cell survival rate and inhibited apoptosis. The levels of ALT, AST and the production of TNF-α and IL-1β were reduced significantly. Moreover, FIS inhibited the increasing expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 induced by H/R. Conclusion FIS alleviates the hepatocyte injury induced by H/R via modulation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
