Project description:Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major problem in drug development and clinical drug therapy. Troglitazone (TGZ), a thiazolidinedione antidiabetic drug for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus, was found to induce rare idiosyncratic severe liver injury in patients, which led to its withdrawal in 2000. In experimental animals in vivo, however, TGZ has never induced liver injury. In this study, administration of BALB/c female mice with TGZ alone significantly elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels 6 h after the treatment. Co-administration of L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, unexpectedly restrained the TGZ-dependent increase of ALT and AST. Furthermore, the ratio of oxidative stress marker glutathione/disulfide glutathione was significantly decreased in TGZ-alone- and BSO plus TGZ-administered mice, and increased hepatic mRNA levels of inflammation- and oxidative stress-related factors in liver were observed. Subsequently, microarray studies were performed 6 h after administration and we discovered that the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway was activated in TGZ-induced liver injury. Moreover, the activation of JAK/STAT pathway promoted phosphorylation of STAT3 in TGZ-alone- and BSO plus TGZ-administered mice. Consequently, upregulation of STAT3 activation increased mRNA levels of its downstream genes. In conclusion, the present study is the first time to establish a mouse model of TGZ-induced liver injury with BALB/c mouse for assessing DILI in drug development and the activation of JAK/STAT signaling pathway might be as an important role involved in hepatotoxic mechanisms of TGZ.

Project description:Liver injury is one of the main toxic effect of sulfasalazine (SASP). However, the toxicological mechanism of SASP-induced liver injury remains unclear. In the present study, the liver injury was induced by orally treatment with SASP for 4 weeks in mice. The hepatic mRNA profiles were detected by RNA sequencing and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. The elevated serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (TBIL), combined with the hepatic histopathological features verified that liver injury was successfully caused by SASP. Transcriptomic results showed that 187 genes (fold change > 1.5 and P < 0.05) were differentially expressed, of which 106 genes were up-regulated and 81 genes were down-regulated in SASP-treated group. Moreover, the further analysis showed that these 187 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in 123 GO terms, which mainly including oxidation-reduction process, oxidoreductase activity and epoxygenase P450 pathway. KEGG pathway analysis showed 30 pathways including chemical carcinogenesis, retinol metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism and glutathione metabolism. Among these 187 DEGs, the top 22 hub genes were screened from network of protein-protein interaction (PPI) and verified by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the mRNA levels of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes, including cyp2b50, cyp2c50, cyp2c39, cyp2c38, cyp2c29, cyp2c54, cyp2c55, cyp2a5, gsta1, gsta2, gstt2, gstm2 and ephx1, were significantly up-regulated in SASP-treated group. Moreover, the expression of egfr, which has the highest score in PPI degree, were significantly down-regulated in SASP-treated group. The present study suggested that the toxicological mechanisms of SASP-induced liver injury might be related to multi-biological processes and pathways. Our results would be helpful for better understanding the hepatotoxic mechanism of SASP. However, the precise mechanism still needs further research.

Project description:Over half of the mature hepatocytes in mice and humans are aneuploid and yet retain full ability to undergo mitosis. This observation has raised the question whether this unusual somatic genetic variation evolved as an adaptive mechanism to hepatic injury. According to this model, hepatotoxic insults would select for hepatocytes with specific numerical chromosome abnormalities, rendering them differentially resistant to the injury. To test this hypothesis, we utilized a strain of mice heterozygous for a mutation in homogentisic acid dioxygenase (Hgd), located on chromosome 16. Loss of this allele can protect from fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (Fah) deficiency. When adult Hgd+/- Fah-/- mice were exposed to chronic liver damage, injury-resistant nodules consisting of Hgd-null hepatocytes rapidly emerged. To determine whether aneuploidy played a role in this phenomenon, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and metaphase karyotyping were performed. Strikingly, loss of chromosome 16 was dramatically enriched in all mice that became completely resistant to tyrosinemia-induced hepatic injury. The frequency of chromosome 16-specific aneuploidy was ~50%. This result provides proof-of-principle that the selection of a specific aneuploid karyotype can result in the adaptation of hepatocytes to chronic liver injury. The extent to which aneuploidy promotes hepatic adaptation in humans is under investigation. 8 mouse hepatocyte samples were analyzed. Genomic DNA samples were derived from wild type mice (2), Hgd-/- Fah-/- mice off NTBC (2) and Hgd+/- Fah-/- off NTBC (4). Samples were compared to sex-mismatched reference genomic DNA isolated from wild type mouse splenocytes.

Project description:Over half of the mature hepatocytes in mice and humans are aneuploid and yet retain full ability to undergo mitosis. This observation has raised the question of whether this unusual somatic genetic variation evolved as an adaptive mechanism in response to hepatic injury. According to this model, hepatotoxic insults select for hepatocytes with specific numerical chromosome abnormalities, rendering them differentially resistant to injury. To test this hypothesis, we utilized a strain of mice heterozygous for a mutation in the homogentisic acid dioxygenase (Hgd) gene located on chromosome 16. Loss of the remaining Hgd allele protects from fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (Fah) deficiency, a genetic liver disease model. When adult mice heterozygous for Hgd and lacking Fah were exposed to chronic liver damage, injury-resistant nodules consisting of Hgd-null hepatocytes rapidly emerged. To determine whether aneuploidy played a role in this phenomenon, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and metaphase karyotyping were performed. Strikingly, loss of chromosome 16 was dramatically enriched in all mice that became completely resistant to tyrosinemia-induced hepatic injury. The frequency of chromosome 16-specific aneuploidy was approximately 50%. This result indicates that selection of a specific aneuploid karyotype can result in the adaptation of hepatocytes to chronic liver injury. The extent to which aneuploidy promotes hepatic adaptation in humans remains under investigation.

Project description:Diclofenac (DCL) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its use can be associated with serious adverse drug reactions most notable myocardial infarction and drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The molecular causes leading to DILI remains unclear and it seems to be multifactorial. The aims of this study is to identify the molecular mechanisms involving immune mediated inflammatory reactions and its link to DILI through whole genome gene expression profiling. Diclofenac was given to mice at 30 mg/kg for 1, 3 and 14 days. Microarray experiments were performed with RNA extracts from liver samples. The performed gene expression studies showed >600 significantly regulated genes after single and repeated dosing for 3 and 14 days. The functional annotation revealed several genes were regulated in common coding for inflammatory, immune, stress and acute-phase responses. Immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR as well as Western blotting were performed to evidence the regulation of key molecules in affected livers. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence for a mechanism of diclofenac induced liver injury that involves pro-inflammatory cytokine and acute phase responses. C57BL6- mice (males, 8 weeks old) (n=5) were administered daily by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg diclofenac sodium for up to 14 days. Control mice (n=5) were treated corresponding quantities of saline. The mice were euthanized at 24h (day 1), 72h (day 3) or 14 days after vehicle or diclofenac administration. The whole genome gene expression profiling studies of liver samples were performed to define the molecular mechanism of diclofenac induced immune mediated liver injury.

Project description:Tuberculosis is one of top causes of death among curable infectious diseases; it is an airborne infectious disease that kills 2 million people worldwide. Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury is the primary cause of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Rifampicin is one of the most common anti-tuberculosis therapies and has well-known hepatotoxicity. To understand the mechanism of rifampicin-induced liver injury, we performed a global proteomic analysis of liver proteins by LC-MS/MS in a mouse model after the oral administration of 177 and 442.5 mg/kg rifampicin (LD10 and LD25) for 14 days. Based on the biochemical parameters in the plasma after rifampicin treatment, the hepatotoxic effect of rifampicin in the mouse liver was defined as a mixed liver injury. In the present study, we identified 1,101 proteins and quantified 1,038 proteins. A total of 29 and 40 proteins were up-regulated and 27 and 118 proteins were down-regulated in response to 177 and 442.5 mg/kg rifampicin, respectively.
