Paeoniflorin (PF), a water-soluble monoterpene glycoside, is initially isolated from the dried roots of  Paeonia lactiflora  Pall., which has effects on ameliorating cholestasis in our previous study. However, comprehensive approaches for understanding the protective effects and mechanisms underlying cholestatic liver injury from the regulating of bile acid metabolism have not been sufficiently elucidated. This study was aimed to explore the effectiveness as well as potential mechanism of PF on alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced cholestatic liver injury. Rats with cholestasis induced by ANIT was used to evaluate the protective effects and mechanism of PF by regulating SIRT1/FXR and NF- κ B/NLRP3 signaling pathway. Rats were intragastrically administrated with ANIT to establish cholestatic liver injury model. Serum levels of ALT, AST, TBA, TBIL, ALP,  γ -GT and ALB in rats were detected. The histopathology of the liver of rats was analyzed  in vivo . The relative mRNA expression and protein expression levels of IL-18, IL-1 β , TNF- α , HO-1, Nrf2, TLR4, NLRP3, Caspase-1, ASC, NF- κ B, FXR, and SIRT1 in liver of rats were investigated. The results showed that the serum indexes and the liver histopathology were significantly improved by PF. The overexpression of IL-18, IL-1 β , TNF- α , NLRP3, ASC, and Caspase-1 in liver was markedly reduced by PF. Furthermore, PF dramatically increased the mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT1, FXR, HO-1, and Nrf2, but decreased NF- κ B p65 and TLR4 levels in liver of rats. Taken together, the protective effects of PF on cholestatic liver injury were possibly related to the activation of the SIRT1/FXR and inhibition of NF- κ B/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. These findings might provide a potential protection for cholestatic liver injury.
