Popis: This study explored the active ingredients and mechanism of Pleurotus placentodes extract (PP-a) in alleviating acute liver injury. According to un-targeted metabolomics analysis, 102 compounds were identified in PP-a, 32 were regarded as active compounds for treating liver injury. PP-a’s targets (203) were observed for liver injury by network pharmacology analysis. Animal tests showed that PP-a significantly reduce inflammatory factors, increase anti-oxidative effects, and repair injured liver tissues, further effectively improving liver function. In addition, the mRNA expression of PTGS2 and NR3C1 was significantly reduced, while the mRNA expression of PPARA was significantly increased in CCl4-induced mice as a result of PP-a. These results suggest that P. placentodes exerts hepatoprotective effects probably by regulating the mRNA expression of PTGS2, NR3C1 and PPARA. For PP-a, L-Histidine, N-Acetyl-D-alloisoleucine, 15-OxoEDE and palmitic acid probably play a critical role in protecting against liver injury in CCl4-indcued mice.
