摘要
Objective:To study the effects of characteristic Li-medicine Alpinia officinarum Hance on improving insulin resistance(IR),and provide scientific evidence for the adjuvant treatment T2DM.Methods:CCK8 kit was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells with 0-200μg/mL Alpinia officinarum Hance extract(AOE)and 0-100μmol/L galangin,and determine the administration concentration.The IR model was established by inducing HepG2 cells with high glucose for 48 hours,and rosiglitazone(ROSI)was used as the positive control drug.Furthermore,we detected intracellular and extracellular glucose contents in IR-HepG2 cells after dosing AOE and galangin by flow cytometry and glucose detection kit,and evaluated the effect of regulating glucose metabolism and IR.Western blot was used to detect the effects of AOE and galangin on the expression of glucose transporter-4(GLUT4)in IR-HepG2 cells.Results:CCK8 kit test result showed that 0-200μg/mL AOE and 0-50μmol/L galangin had no significant effect on HepG2 cell viability.The results of flow cytometry and glucose detection kit showed that the glucose uptake and consumption of the IR model group induced by high glucose was significantly lower than that of the blank group,and thus the IR model was successfully established.Both 50μg/mL AOE and 10,20μmol/L galangin significantly increased the glucose uptake and consumption of IR-HepG2 cells(P<0.05);Western blot experiment showed that AOE and galangin significantly increased GLUT4 level of IR-HepG2 cells(P<0.01).Conclusion:Alpinia officinarum Hance could promote the uptake and consumption of glucose in IR-HepG2 cells by up-regulating the expression of GLUT4 protein,thereby improving IR and enhancing insulin sensitivity.
