Liver cirrhosis is currently the 11th most common cause of death which includes inflammatory, oxidative damage, and immune response. Harmaline has antioxidant and antiinflammatory mechanisms which can defeat against hepatic cirrhosis pathways. The present work aimed to evaluate the ameliorating effect of harmaline against liver cirrhosis induced by thioacetamide in mice. The study was carried out on sixty male mice divided into three main groups. Control and harmaline groups (GIa and GIb), thioacetamide-group (GII) and harmaline co-treated and treated groups (GIIIa and GIIIb). By the end of the experiment, adiponectin concentrations were measured in serum and liver tissue. Gene expression of adiponectin, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-â1), tissue inhibitor metalloprotease-1(TIMP-1) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-ã) were assessed. Some oxidative stress biomarkers as malondialdehyde, reduced glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase and nitric oxide were determined. The resultsindicated that harmaline administration cause significant suppression of oxidative stress and inflammatory response.Inhibition of hepatic stellate cell activation and extracellular matrix deposition were also noticedwith a significant decrease in the expression of the profibrotic markers(TGF-â1 and TIMP-1) which have direct effects on adiponectin activation. These results were confirmed by the histological studies in liver tissue.In Conclusion,Harmaline has excellent protective role against liver cirrhosis induced by thioacetamide in mice via its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.It can be therapeutically used as a safe liver support by a dose of 10 mg/kg after furtherin vivo studies.
