Apap Hepatotoxicity

An overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), the most common cause of acute liver injury, induces oxidative stress that subsequently causes mitochondrial impairment and hepatic necroptosis. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), the only recognized drug against APAP hepatotoxicity, is less effective the later it is administered. This study evaluated the protective effect of mitochondria-specific Mito-TEMPO (Mito-T) on APAP-induced acute liver injury in C57BL/6J male mice, and a three dimensional (3D)-cell culture model containing the human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2. The administration of Mito-T (20 mg/kg, i.p.) 1 h after APAP (400 mg/kg, i.p.) injection markedly attenuated the APAP-induced elevated serum transaminase activity and hepatic necrosis. However, Mito-T treatment did not affect key factors in the development of APAP liver injury including the activation of c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNK), and expression of the transcription factor C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) in the liver. However, Mito-T significantly reduced the APAP-induced increase in the hepatic oxidative stress marker, nitrotyrosine, and DNA fragmentation. Mito-T markedly attenuated cytotoxicity induced by APAP in the HepG2 3D-cell culture model. Moreover, liver regeneration after APAP hepatotoxicity was not affected by Mito-T, demonstrated by no changes in proliferating cell nuclear antigen formation. Therefore, Mito-T was hepatoprotective at the late-stage of APAP overdose in mice.

Intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction induced by myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury often leads to adverse cardiovascular outcomes after myocardial infarction. Early detection and prevention of remote intestinal injury following myocardial IR may help to estimate and improve prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study investigated the protective effect of myocardial ischemic postconditioning (IPo) on intestinal barrier injury induced by myocardial IR and the underlying cellular signaling mechanisms with a focus on the DJ-1. Adult SD rats were subjected to unilateral myocardial IR with or without ischemic postconditioning. After 30 min of ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion, heart tissue, intestine, and blood were collected for subsequent examination. The outcome measures were (i) intestinal histopathology, (ii) intestinal barrier function and inflammatory responses, (iii) apoptosis and oxidative stress, and (iv) cellular signaling changes. IPo significantly attenuated intestinal injury induced by myocardial IR. Furthermore, IPo significantly increased DJ-1, nuclear Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 expression in the intestine and inhibited IR-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. The protective effect of IPo was abolished by the knockdown of DJ-1. Conversely, the overexpression of DJ-1 provided a protective effect similar to that of IPo. Our data indicate that IPo protects the intestine against myocardial IR, which is likely mediated by the upregulation of DJ-1/Nrf2 pathway.
