Discover preclinical biomarkers of hepatotoxicity: Acetaminophen and Carbon tetrachloride
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Preclinical biomarkers useful for identification of idiosyncratic drugs have not been identified. It is hypothesized that patterns of transcript expression for the hepatotoxicants, including classical and idiosyncratic hepatotoxicants, are similar and the patterns differ from those of non-hepatotoxicants. This experiment is part of the biomarkers study, and focus on two clasical hepatotoxicants: Acetaminophen and Carbon tetrachloride. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify liver gene expression changes induced by hepatotoxicants. For the same animal, urinary microRNA profiling were analyzed. APAP and CCl4 both significantly increased the urinary levels of 44 and 28 miRNAs, respectively. In addition, 10 of the increased miRNAs were in common between APAP and CCl4. Computational analysis was used to predict target genes of the 10 shared hepatotoxicant-induced miRNAs. From the same animals, liver gene expression profiling was performed using whole genome microarrays. Eight putative target genes were found to be significantly altered in the liver of APAP and CCl4 treated animals.
