Our study accomplished the UPLC\/T-TOF\u2013MS\/MS analysis of a methanol extract of Saussurea costus roots (MESC), in addition to lipoidal matter determination and assessment of its in vivo hepatoprotective activity. In this study, we were able to identify the major metabolites in MESC rather than the previously known isolated compounds, improving our knowledge of its chemical constituents. The flavones apigenin, acacetin, baicalein, luteolin, and diosmetin, and the flavonol aglycones quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, gossypetin, and myricetin and\/or their glycosides and glucuronic derivatives were the major identified compounds. The hepatoprotective activity of MESC was evaluated by measuring catalase activity using UV spectrophotometry, inflammatory cytokines and apoptotic markers using ELISA techniques, and genetic markers using PCR. Paracetamol toxicity caused a significant increase in plasma caspase 2, cytokeratin 18 (CK18), liver tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), miRNA-34a, and miRNA-223, as well as a significant decrease in liver catalase (CAT) activity and in the levels of liver nuclear factor 1\u03b1 (HNF-1\u03b1), sirtuin-1, and C\/ebp\u03b1. Oral pretreatment with MESC (200 mg\/kg) showed a significant decrease in caspase 2, CK18, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6 and a significant increase in liver CAT activity. MESC decreased the levels of liver miRNA-34a and miRNA-223 and induced HNF-1\u03b1, sirtuin-1, and C\/ebp\u03b1 gene expression. The histological examination showed a significant normalization in rats pretreated with MESC. Our findings showed that Saussurea costus may exert a potent hepatoprotective activity through the modulation of the expression of cellular cytokines, miRNA-34a, and miRNA-223.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27092802","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,28]],"date-time":"2022-04-28T22:20:06Z","timestamp":1651184406000},"page":"2802","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Tentatively Identified (UPLC\/T-TOF\u2013MS\/MS) Compounds in the Extract of Saussurea costus Roots Exhibit In Vivo Hepatoprotection via Modulation of HNF-1\u03b1, Sirtuin-1, C\/ebp\u03b1, miRNA-34a and miRNA-223"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1543-8844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Heba A.","family":"El Gizawy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, October 6 University (O6U), Giza 12585, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3924-9263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alaadin E.","family":"El-Haddad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, October 6 University (O6U), Giza 12585, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5272-0630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amr M.","family":"Saadeldeen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacognosy, School of Pharmacy, Newgiza University (NGU), Newgiza, km 22 Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, Giza 12577, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4059-2912","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sylvia A.","family":"Boshra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, October 6 University (O6U), Giza 12585, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.31254\/jahm.2016.2504","article-title":"Suitable solvent and drying condition to enhance phenolics and extractive value of Saussurea costus","volume":"2","author":"Ahmed","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
