Gomisin N is a physiological substance derived from Schisandra chinensis. In the present study, the in vitro and in vivo effects of gomisin N on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and hepatic steatosis were investigated. We quantified the expression of markers of ER stress, including glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) homolog protein (CHOP), and X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1), and triglyceride (TG) accumulation, in HepG2 cells treated with tunicamycin or palmitate. Tunicamycin treatment in HepG2 cells induced expression of markers of ER stress and increased TG levels; Gomisin N reversed these effects, reducing the expression of markers of ER stress and TG levels. Similar effects were seen following palmitate pretreatment of HepG2 cells. The inhibitory effects of gomisin N were further confirmed in mice injected with tunicamycin. Gomisin N reduced expression of markers of ER stress and decreased TG levels in mouse liver after tunicamycin injection. Furthermore, gomisin N decreased expression of inflammatory and lipogenic genes in palmitate-incubated HepG2 cells. These results suggest that gomisin N inhibits ER stress and ameliorates hepatic steatosis induced by ER stress.
