摘要
Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is characterized by the loss of gastric glandular cells, which are replaced by the intestinal-type epithelium and fibrous tissue. Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) is the prevalent ginsenoside in ginseng, with a variety of biological activities, and is usually added to functional foods. As a novel form of programmed cell death (PCD), pyroptosis has received substantial attention in recent years. Despite the numerous beneficial effects, the curative impact of Rg1 on CAG and whether its putative mechanism is partially via inhibiting pyroptosis still remain unknown. To address this gap, we conducted a study to explore the mechanisms underlying the potential anti-CAG effect of Rg1. We constructed a CAG rat model using a multifactor comprehensive method. A cellular model was developed by using 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) combined with Nigericin as a stimulus applied to GES-1 cells. After Rg1 intervention, the levels of inflammatory indicators in the gastric tissue/cell supernatant were reduced. Rg1 relieved oxidative stress via reducing the myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels in the gastric tissue and increasing the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Additionally, Rg1 improved MNNG+Nigericin-induced pyroptosis in the morphology and plasma membrane of the cells. Further research supported novel evidence for Rg1 in the regulation of the NF-κB/NLRP3/GSDMD pathway and the resulting pyroptosis underlying its therapeutic effect. Moreover, by overexpression and knockout of GSDMD in GES-1 cells, our findings suggested that GSDMD might serve as the key target in the effect of Rg1 on suppressing pyroptosis. All of these offer a potential theoretical foundation for applying Rg1 in ameliorating CAG.
