Abstract

Objective To study the effect of methane on liver mitochondria in a mouse model of liver ischemia reperfusion.Methods C57 mice were randomly divided into the blank control group (SHAM group n=6), ischemia-reperfusion group ( IR group n=6 ) and methane-rich saline treatment group (IR+CH4 group n=6). The 70% liver ischemia-reperfusion model was adopted. Methane-rich saline 10ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally before reperfusion in the IR+CH4 group. Samples were taken to detect oxidation, antioxidation and mitochondrium related indexes.Results Methane-rich saline increased SOD(t=3.480, P=0.0037)/(GSHt=2.687, P=0.0177) levels but decreased MDA(t=2.771, P=0.015)/ROS(t=3.154, P=0.0083) levels. In the IR group, the expressions of mitochondrial fusion proteins Mfn1(q=7.57,P<0.05) and OPA1(q=6.41,P<0.05) decreased while the expression of mitogen DLP1(q=3.718,P<0.05) increased. PINK1 expression was up-regulated in the IR group (q=4.606,P<0.05)and down-regulated in the IR+CH4 group(q=3.922,P<0.05).Conclusions Methane-rich saline can improve the body’s antioxidant capacity, promote mitochondrial fusion, reduce mitochondrion, and boost the recovery of mitochondrial function.
