%X This study aims to evaluate the preventive effects
of anthocyanins extracts (MAEs) from mulberry
variety PR-01 against N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. It was found that 150 mg¡¤kg-1 MAEs treatment significantly reduced the NDEA-induced
hepatic nodules incidence and hepatocellular carcinoma incidence by 58.30% and
41.70% compared to the model group. Meanwhile, MAEs significantly restored the
elevated the liver function enzymes, inhibited the tumor necrosis factor alpha
and interleukin-6 levels, elevated the serum interleukin-10 and interferon-¦Ã and
increased hepatic glutathione-S-transferase and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B1 enzyme activity. Moreover, 150 mg¡¤kg-1 MAEs supplement enhanced glutathione content and
the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase
activities but reduced the malondialdehyde and thiobarbituric acid-reactive
substances content by 37.90% and 44.52%. Furthermore, MAEs pretreatment maintained
nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2),
Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1, heme oxygenase-1, and NAD(P)H: quinine
oxidoreductase1 stimulation and inhibited the expression of TNF-¦Á, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-¦ÊB), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), indicating
that MAEs exhibit effectively prevention effects against liver cancer via
decreased lipid peroxidation, induced Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzymes and
attenuating the inflammatory mediators COX-2 through NF-¦ÊB pathway. Thus, MAEs of mulberry variety
