However, the role of the celiac ganglion (CG) in HIRI remains unclear. Adeno-associated virus was used to silence Bmal1 expression in the CG of twelve beagles that were randomly assigned to the Bmal1 knockdown group (KO-Bmal1) and the control group. After four weeks, a canine HIRI model was established, and CG, liver tissue, and serum samples were collected for analysis. The virus significantly downregulated Bmal1 expression in the CG. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed a lower proportion of c-fos+ and NGF+ neurons in TH+ cells in the KO-Bmal1 group than in the control group. The KO-Bmal1 group exhibited lower Suzuki scores and serum ALT and AST levels than the control group. Bmal1 knockdown significantly reduced liver fat reserve, hepatocyte apoptosis, and liver fibrosis, and it increased liver glycogen accumulation. We also observed that Bmal1 downregulation inhibited the hepatic neurotransmitter norepinephrine, neuropeptide Y levels, and sympathetic nerve activity in HIRI. Finally, we confirmed that decreased Bmal1 expression in CG reduces TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, and MDA levels and increases GSH levels in the liver. The downregulation of Bmal1 expression in CG suppresses neural activity and improves hepatocyte injury in the beagle model after HIRI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom13040713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T10:11:25Z","timestamp":1682071885000},"page":"713","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Downregulation of Bmal1 Expression in Celiac Ganglia Protects against Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jiarui","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lilong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Hubei Province for Digestive System Disease, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Enfu","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Hubei Province for Digestive System Disease, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhendong","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Hubei Province for Digestive System Disease, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kunpeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Hubei Province for Digestive System Disease, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingru","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weixing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan 430060, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"757336","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.757336","article-title":"Novel Targets and Therapeutic Strategies to Protect against Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury","volume":"8","author":"Mao","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front.
