Project description:Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) overdose severely damages mitochondria and triggers several apoptotic processes in hepatocytes, but the final outcome is fulminant necrotic cell death, resulting in acute liver failure and mortality. Here, we studied this switch of cell death modes and demonstrate a non-canonical role of the apoptosis-regulating BCL-2 homolog BIM/Bcl2l11 in promoting necrosis by regulating cellular bioenergetics. BIM deficiency enhanced total ATP production and shifted the bioenergetic profile towards glycolysis, resulting in persistent protection from APAP-induced liver injury. Modulation of glucose levels and deletion of mitofusins confirmed that severe APAP toxicity occurs only in cells dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolytic hepatocytes maintained elevated ATP levels and reduced ROS, which enabled lysosomal recycling of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. The present study highlights how metabolism and bioenergetics affect drug-induced liver toxicity, and identifies BIM as important regulator of glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and oxidative stress signaling.

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:The BCL-2 family are crucial regulators of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in normal physiology and disease. Besides their role in cell death, BCL-2 proteins have been implicated in the regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and cellular metabolism. However, it remains unclear whether these proteins have a physiological role in glucose homeostasis and metabolism in vivo. Here we report that fat accumulation in the liver increases JNK-dependent BIM expression in hepatocytes. We generated liver-specific BIM knockout (BLKO) mice to determine the consequences of hepatic BIM deficiency in diet-induced obesity. BLKO mice had lower hepatic lipid content, increased insulin signalling and improved global glucose metabolism. Consistent with this, lipogenic and lipid uptake genes were downregulated and lipid oxidation enhanced in obese BLKO mice. Moreover, oxidative stress, oxidation of protein tyrosine phosphatases and activation of PPAR-g/STAT1/CD36 were decreased in livers/hepatocytes from BLKO mice, suggesting a mechanism for their metabolic phenotype. Importantly, adenovirus-mediated knockdown of BIM reduced fat accumulation and improved insulin sensitivity in high fat fed mice. Our data postulate BIM as a novel therapeutic target regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and liver function in obesity.

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: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), a widely used analgesic and antipyretic that is considered to be relatively safe at recommended doses, is the leading cause of drug-induced liver failure in the United States. 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-Hydroxyacetanilide (AMAP), a regioisomer of acetaminophen is useful as a comparative tool for studying APAP-induced toxicity since it is non-toxic relative to APAP. TGF-alpha transgenic mouse hepatocytes were treated with both isomers to investigate mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades in order to differentiate their toxicological outcomes. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade expression and activation were measured using microarray and Bioplex technologies, respectively. APAP treatment led to c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, whereas AMAP treatment led to the activation of extracellular-signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK). The microarray data suggested APAP treatment may upregulate gene expression at multiple levels of the JNK cascade including a JNK-related scaffold protein. Expression data was related to phosphoprotein levels using the Bioplex system. APAP treatment led to a significant activation of JNK compared to its regioisomer. In contrast, microarray analysis of AMAP showed a slight upregulation of ERK gene activity. Furthermore, Bioplex data showed AMAP treatment led to significant ERK phosphorylation compared to APAP. Cell viability assays confirmed that APAP-induced activation of JNK was related to higher rates of cell death, whereas activation of ERK by AMAP may be cytoprotective. 27 arrays, 9 experimental groups, 2hr AMAP, 2hr APAP, 2hr Control, 6hr AMAP, 6hr APAP, 6hr Control, 24hr AMAP, 24hr APAP, 24hr Control.

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.

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.
