Figure 5 Hedyotis diffusa injection regulates the hepatic hypoxia inducible factor-1 signaling pathway and urea cycle through the circadian rhythm gene NR1D1. A: The expression changes of circadian rhythm genes in mouse liver tissue before and after Hedyotis diffusa injection treatment using real-time polymerase chain reaction; B: The protein expression of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, NR1D1, and BMAL1 analyzed by Western blot; C: Detection of urea cycle-related enzyme levels in liver tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); D: Detection of urea and ammonia levels in liver tissue by ELISA; E: Effect of NR1D1 on HIF-1α protein expression detected by Western blot; F: Effect of NR1D1 on carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1, urea, and ammonia levels detected by ELISA. HDI: Hedyotis diffusa injection; CCl4: Carbon tetrachloride; ZT: Zeitgeber time; mRNA: Messenger RNA; HIF: Hypoxia inducible factor; CPS1: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1; Otc: Ornithine transcarbamylase; Ass1: Argininosuccinate synthase 1; Asl: Argininosuccinate lyase; Arg-1: Arginase 1; KD: Knockdown; OE: Overexpression.
