In this study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effects and mechanism of salidroside on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in vivo. Mice were pretreated with salidroside (60 mg\/kg, intraperitoneally injected, i.p.) once per day for 14 consecutive days and then administered with CCl4 (15.95 g\/kg, i.p.) for 24 h to produce a liver injury model. Salidroside attenuated hepatic transaminase elevation in serum and ameliorated liver steatosis and necrosis, thereby suggesting its protective effect on the liver. Salidroside antagonized CCl4-induced toxicity by equilibrating antioxidation system, thereby inhibiting reactive oxygen species accumulation, and restoring mitochondrial structure and function. Salidroside exerts antioxidant and liver-protective effects by selectively inhibiting the activation of genes, including growth arrest and DNA -damage-inducible 45 \u03b1 (Gadd45a), mitogen-activated protein kinase 7 (Mapk7), and related RAS viral oncogene homolog 2 (Rras2), which induce oxidative stress in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. These results revealed that salidroside can protect the liver from CCl4-induced injury by resisting oxidative stress and protecting mitochondrial function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20133187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,1]],"date-time":"2019-07-01T03:23:59Z","timestamp":1561951439000},"page":"3187","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Protective Effects of Salidroside against Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4)-Induced Liver Injury by Initiating Mitochondria to Resist Oxidative Stress in Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Shi-Yu","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xia-Xia","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chong-Lin","family":"Ran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shao-Jun","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zi-Ting","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li-Zi","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chang-Liang","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7809-2580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhi-Xiang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hua-Lin","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Ling","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, College of Animal Science and Technology, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Shu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine College of Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.3233\/CBM-160615","article-title":"Salidroside reduces renal cell carcinoma proliferation by inhibiting JAK2\/STAT3 signaling","volume":"17","author":"Lv","year":"2016","journal-title":"Cancer Biomark."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yang, Z.R., Wang, H.F., Zuo, T.C., Guan, L.L., and Dai, N.
