摘要：Blueberries have great beneficial effects due to high level of anthocyanins, especially malvidin. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) can be activated and increase excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which play a central role in liver fibrogenesis. Therefore, activated HSC’s apoptosis can be induced to recover liver fibrosis. Malvidin's effects on apoptosis in rat activated hepatic stellate T6 cells (HSC‐T6) in vitro were investigated here. High concentration of malvidin was found to significantly induce apoptosis, activate caspase‐3, increase malondialdehyde, upregulate Bax, but downregulate Bcl‐2. Moreover, malvidin upregulated the protein levels of some endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)‐typical markers, including caspase‐12, glucose‐regulated protein 78 (GRP78), and CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein (C/EBP) homologous protein (CHOP), suggesting that malvidin induced HSC apoptosis by the ERS apoptosis pathway as well as the mitochondrial‐dependent pathway. These findings indicated that blueberry anthocyanins, especially malvidin, could induce activated hepatic stellate cell apoptosis and might act as one kind of functional food ingredient or a novel nutraceutical beneficial for liver health.
