Project description:Better biomarkers to predict death early in acute liver failure (ALF) are needed. To that end, we obtained early (study day 1) and later (day 3) serum samples from transplant-free survivors (n=28) and non-survivors (n=30) of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced ALF from the NIH-sponsored Acute Liver Failure Study Group, and from control volunteers (n=10). To identify proteins that increase early in serum during ALF, we selected individuals from this cohort for whom ALT was lower on day 1 than day 3, indicating a time point before the peak of injury (n=10/group). We then performed untargeted proteomics on their day 1 samples. Out of 1,682 quantifiable proteins, 79 were elevated ≥4-fold in ALF patients vs. controls and 23 of those were further elevated ≥4-fold in non-survivors vs. survivors, indicating potential to predict death. Interestingly, the biomarker with best performance was LDH. To confirm the prognostic potential of LDH, we measured activity in all day 1 and 3 samples from all 58 ALF patients. LDH was elevated in the non-survivors vs. survivors on both days. In addition, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses revealed that LDH alone performed similarly to the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD), while a combination of MELD and LDH outperformed either alone. Finally, Upstream Analysis of our proteomics data indicated activation of LKB1-AMPK signaling in liver regeneration after APAP overdose and we confirmed that in mice. Overall, we conclude LDH can predict death in APAP-induced ALF and that LKB1-AMPK signaling may be a promising therapeutic target to improve survival.

Project description:Fifty percent of all acute liver failure (ALF) cases in the United States are due to acetaminophen (APAP) overdose. Assessment of canonical features of liver injury, such as plasma alanine aminotransferase activities are poor predictors of acute liver failure (ALF), suggesting the involvement of additional mechanisms independent of hepatocyte death. Previous work demonstrated a severe overdose of APAP results in impaired regeneration, the induction of senescence by p21, and increased mortality. We hypothesized that a discrete population of p21+ hepatocytes acquired a secretory phenotype that directly impedes liver recovery after a severe APAP overdose. Leveraging in-house human APAP explant liver and publicly available singlenuclei RNAseq data, we identified a subpopulation of p21+ hepatocytes enriched in a unique secretome of factors, such as Cxcl14. Spatial transcriptomics in the mouse model of APAP overdose confirmed the presence of a p21+ hepatocyte population that directly surrounded the necrotic areas. In both male and female mice, we found a dose-dependent induction of p21 and persistent circulating levels of the p21-specific constituent, Cxcl14, in the plasma after a severe APAP overdose. In parallel experiments, we targeted either the putative senescent hepatocytes with the senolytic drugs, dasatinib and quercetin, or Cxcl14 with a neutralizing antibody. We found that targeting Cxcl14 greatly enhanced liver recovery after APAP-induced liver injury, while targeting the senescent hepatocyte had no effect. This data supports that the sustained induction of p21 in hepatocytes with persistent Cxcl14 secretion are critical mechanistic events leading to ALF in mice and human patients.

Project description:Acetaminophen (APAP) is one of the most widely consumed and prescribed drugs. APAP overdose is one of the leading causes of intrinsic drug-induced liver injury (DILI), acute liver failure (ALF), and liver transplantation in the Western world. Mg2+, essential for health, plays a role in virtually every process within the human cell. The cellular transporter family cyclin M, also known as CNNM, plays a key role in Mg2+ transport across the cell membranes in different organs. Here, we identified that the expression of CNNM4 is elevated in the liver of patients with APAP-induced liver injury (AILI), with a concomitant disturbance in serum Mg2+ levels. We demonstrated that, in the liver, APAP interferes with the Mg2+ mitochondrial reservoir via CNNM4, which affects ATP production and ROS generation, further boosting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress of the hepatocytes. Importantly, the CNNM4 mutant T495I showed no effect. Finally, a shift in localization of CNNM4 from membrane to ER was shown under APAP toxicity. Therapeutic targeting of Cnnm4 in the liver with nanoparticles and GalNAc-formulated siRNA provides efficient protection from AILI by restoring hepatocyte Mg2+ homeostasis and by inducing hepatocyte restoration. Our results suggest that inhibition of Cnnm4 may represent an alternative route for the treatment of DILI..

Project description:Acetaminophen (APAP) is the most widely used analgesic in the United States. Its acute overdose causes liver damage by inducing localized centrilobular cell death. Because of widespread use, APAP toxicity has become the most frequent cause of acute liver failure. Many factors have been associated with the susceptibility of APAP-induced liver injuries, however, few of them have been confirmed and used in the clinical setting. We tried to identify the subset of factors that could affect susceptibility to APAP-induced liver injury by an integrative genetic, transcriptional and 2-D-NMR-based metabolomic analysis across a panel of inbred mouse strains.

We tried to identify the subset of factors that could affect susceptibility to APAP-induced liver injury by an integrative genetic, transcriptional and 2-D-NMR-based metabolomic analysis across a panel of inbred mouse strains. Experiment Overall Design: After a single administration of high dose (300 mg/kg i.p.) APAP, liver and blood samples were extracted from 3 sensitive (C57B6, DBA/2, and SmJ) and 1 resistant (SJL) mice strains at 0, 3 and 6 hour after APAP exposure. Endogenous metabolites from liver samples were analyzed by 1H-13C 2-dimensional-NMR and gene expression changes occurring within these liver samples were simultaneously analyzed using Affymetrix microarrays. The transcriptional and metabolomic data was jointly analyzed, and functional information within the Gene Ontology database was used to identify the subset of genes that could affect susceptibility to APAP-induced liver injury in the early phase response.

Project description:Drug Induced-liver injury (DILI) is a significant cause of acute liver failure (ALF) and liver transplantation in the Western world. APAP overdose is a main contributor of DILI, leading to hepatocyte cell death through necrosis. Herein, we identified that neddylation, an essential post-translational modification involved in the mitochondria function, was upregulated in liver biopsies from APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) patients and in mice treated with an APAP overdose. MLN4924, an inhibitor of the NEDD8 activating enzyme (NAE-1), ameliorated necrosis and boost liver regeneration in AILI. To understand how neddylation interferes in AILI, whole-body biotinylated NEDD8 (bioNEDD8) and Ubiquitin (bioUB) transgenic mice were investigated under APAP overdose with and without MLN4924. The CDP-DAG synthase TAM41, responsible to produce cardiolipin essential for mitochondrial activity, was found modulated under AILI and restoring its levels by inhibiting neddylation. Understanding this ubiquitin-like crosstalk in AILI is essential for developing promising targeted inhibitors for DILI treatment.

Project description:There is a paucity of data on how protease-activated receptors (PARs) regulate transcriptional reprogramming. We sought to determine how the expression of two members of the PAR family (PAR1 and PAR4) on hepatic endothelial cells (ECs) influence transcription in the liver after acetaminophen (APAP) overdose. We combined EC-specific translating ribosome affinity purification with next-generation sequencing (EC-TRAPseq) in endothelial-specific Par1 and Par4 knockout mice. This allowed us to gain an in vivo snapshot of how EC gene expression profiles change with APAP overdose and how the loss of endothelial PARs impacts transcriptional reprogramming in hepatic ECs. This approach also provided a high degree of sensitivity for detecting low-expressing transcripts. We found distinct transcriptional changes in APAP-overdosed ECs between endothelial Par1 and Par4 knockout mice.

Project description:Acetaminophen (APAP) is the major cause of drug-induced liver injury, with limited treatment options. APAP overdose invokes excessive oxidative stress that triggers mitochondria-to-nucleus retrograde pathways, contributing to APAP-induced liver injury (AILI). Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is a promising tool for acute liver failure. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the beneficial effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (AMSC) therapy on AILI and reveal the potential therapeutic mechanisms. C57BL/6 mice are used as the animal model and AML12 normal murine hepatocytes as the cellular model of APAP overdose. Immunohistochemical staining, western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, and RNA sequencing assay are used for assessing the efficacy and validating mechanisms of AMSC therapy. We found AMSC therapy effectively ameliorated AILI, while delayed AMSC injection lost its efficacy related to the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-mediated mitochondrial retrograde pathways. We further found that AMSC therapy inhibited JNK activation and mitochondrial translocation, reducing APAP-induced mitochondrial damage. The down-regulation of activated Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and DNA damage response proteins in AMSC treated mice liver indicated AMSC blocked the JNK-ATM pathway. Overall, AMSC may be an effective treatment for AILI by inhibiting JNK-ATM mitochondrial retrograde pathway, which improves APAP-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and liver injury.

Project description:Acute liver failure is a serious clinical manifestation resulting from sudden liver injury, which can be triggered by various factors. One of the most frequent causes of acute liver failure is excessive ingestion of acetaminophen (APAP), which is known to damage hepatocytes directly by reducing glutathione levels in cells, ultimately leading to hepatocyte death.PGE2 can play a dual role in inflammation, either promoting or inhibiting the inflammatory response, depending on the cell type, local concentration, receptor type, and tissue microenvironment. Early studies have shown that PGE2 significantly alleviated acute liver failure induced by galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide, APAP, and carbon tetrachloride. However, the precise mechanism by which PGE2 alleviates APAP-induced acute liver failure remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of PGE2 against APAP-induced hepatocyte injury.
