The invention relates to an LECT2 inhibitor and application of the LECT2 inhibitor in intervention of NETs formation and preparation of drugs for preventing and treating
alcoholic hepatitis (AH), and provides application of the LECT2 inhibitor in preparation of drugs for intervention of NETs formation and further prevention and treatment of AH, and a foundation is laid for new
drug screening. The LECT2 is positively correlated with the
disease severity of AH, and the LECT2 inhibitor plays a role in preparing a
medicine for intervening the generation of NETs so as to prevent and treat the progress of AH. An LECT2 inhibitor is AAV-shLECT2, the LECT2 shRNA is transfected into AAV-293 cells, the adeno-associated
virus for inhibiting liver expression of LECT2 is prepared, liver expression and LECT2
secretion are inhibited by injecting the
virus, then formation of NETs in the liver is reduced, and finally the effect of preventing and treating AH progress is achieved. LECT2 is combined with a
neutrophile granulocyte receptor PHB2, so that generation of NETs in
neutrophile granulocytes is increased, then
liver injury is aggravated, and the generation of the NETs in the
neutrophile granulocytes can be reduced by knocking down LECT2, so that AH development is prevented and treated.
