AdipoRon Alleviates Liver Injury by Protecting Hepatocytes from Mitochondrial Damage Caused by Ionizing Radiation.

ABSTRACT: Radiation liver injury is a common complication of hepatocellular carcinoma radiotherapy. It is mainly caused by irreversible damage to the DNA of hepatocellular cells directly by radiation, which seriously interferes with metabolism and causes cell death. AdipoRon can maintain lipid metabolism and stabilize blood sugar by activating adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1). However, the role of AdipoRon/AdipoR1 in the regulation of ionizing radiation (IR)-induced mitochondrial damage remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the roles of AdipoRon/AdipoR1 in IR-induced mitochondrial damage in normal hepatocyte cells. We found that AdipoRon treatment rescued IR-induced liver damage in mice and mitochondrial damage in normal hepatocytes in vivo and in vitro. AdipoR1 deficiency exacerbate
