Özet

This study aimed to examine the protective role of nebivolol (NEB) on liver tissue against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis model in rats by targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress–related binding immunoglobulin protein (Bip), CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (Chop) signaling pathways. Four groups, each comprising eight rats, were established: control, LPS, LPS + NEB, and NEB. Biochemical analyses included total oxidant status (TOS), serum aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. Additionally, genetic assessments involved Chop and Bip/GRP78 mRNA expression levels, while histopathological examinations were conducted. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 β) and caspase-3 levels. The LPS group exhibited significantly higher AST, ALT, oxidative stress index, and TOS levels compared to the control group. Moreover, the LPS group demonstrated markedly increased Chop and Bip/GRP78 mRNA expression compared to the control group. Immunohistochemical analysis of the LPS group revealed significant upregulation in IL-1β and caspase-3 expressions compared to the control group. Additionally, the LPS group showed significant hyperemia, mild hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell infiltrations. Comparatively, the LPS+NEB group exhibited a reversal of these alterations when compared to the LPS group. Collectively, our findings, suggest that NEB holds promise as a treatment in conditions where oxidative damage, inflammation, and ER stress–related apoptosis play significant roles in the pathogenesis.
