Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure is a serious clinic issue. Our previous study showed that chlorogenic acid (CGA) alleviated APAP-induced liver inflammatory injury, but its concrete mechanism is still not clear. This study aims to elucidate the engaged mechanism involved in the CGA-provided alleviation on APAP-induced liver inflammation. CGA reduced the increased hepatic infiltration of immune cells and the elevated serum contents of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) in mice treated with APAP. CGA decreased the enhanced hepatic mRNA expression of some pro-inflammatory molecules in mice treated with APAP and in RAW264.7 cells stimulated with HMGB1 or HSP60. CGA attenuated liver mitochondrial injury, rescued the decreased lon protease homolog (Lon) protein expression, and reduced mitochondrial HSP60 release in mice treated with APAP. Moreover, the CGA-provided alleviation on APAP-induced liver inflammatory injury was diminished in mice treated with anti-HSP60 antibody. Further results showed that the CGA-provided alleviation on APAP-induced liver inflammation was also diminished in nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) knock-out mice. Meanwhile, the CGA-provided reduce on serum HSP60 content and restore of mitochondrial Lon protein expression were all diminished in Nrf2 knock-out mice treated with APAP. In conclusion, our study revealed that CGA alleviated APAP-induced liver inflammatory injury initiated by HSP60 or HMGB1, and Nrf2 was critical for regulating the mitochondrial HSP60 release via rescuing the reduced mitochondrial Lon protein expression.
