[PMID: 37110661 PMCID: PMC10143891 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28083427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Chebulae Fructus (CF) is a natural medicinal plant widely used for its various pharmacological properties. Natural products used to cure several diseases have been considered safe thanks to their little or no side effects. However, in recent years, a hepatotoxic effect has been found due to the abuse of herbal medicine. CF has been reported to have hepatotoxicity, but the mechanism is unclear. In this experiment, the toxic aspect and mechanism of CF action were evaluated by transcriptome analysis. Components of toxic CF fractions were identified by LC-MS, and hepatotoxic toxic components in toxic CF fractions were predicted by molecular docking. The results showed that the ethyl acetate part of CF was the main toxic fraction, and transcriptome analysis found that the toxic mechanism was highly related to lipid metabolism-related pathways, and CFEA could inhibit the PPAR signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that 3'-O-methyl-4-O-(n″-O-galloyl-β-d-xylopyranosyl) ellagic acid (n = 2, 3 or 4) and 4-O-(3″,4″-O-digalloyl-α-l-rhamnosyl) ellagic acid have better docking energies with PPARα protein and FABP protein than other components. In summary, 3'-O-methyl-4-O-(n″-O-galloyl-β-d-xylopyranosyl) ellagic acid (n = 2, 3 or 4) and 4-O-(3″,4″-O-digalloyl-α-l-rhamnosyl) ellagic acid were the main toxic components, which may play a toxic role by inhibiting the PPAR signaling pathway and affect lipid metabolism.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate how Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) effects acute liver injury (ALI) and what transcriptional regulatory mechanisms it may employ.Methods: Rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10): Control, Model, HSYA-L, HSYA-M, and HSYA-H. In the control and model groups, rats were intraperitoneally injected with equivalent normal saline, while in the HSYA groups, they were also injected with different amounts of HSYA (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg/day) once daily for eight consecutive days. One hour following the last injection, the control group was injected into the abdominal cavity with 0.1 ml/100 g of peanut oil, and the other four groups got the same amount of a peanut oil solution containing 50% CCl4. Liver indexes were detected in rats after dissection, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) dyeing was utilized to determine HSYA’s impact on the liver of model rats. In addition, with RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were discovered and validated. Furthermore, we detected the contents of anti-superoxide anion (anti-O2−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and verified three inflammatory genes (Icam1, Bcl2a1, and Ptgs2) in the NF-kB pathway by qRT-PCR.Results: Relative to the control and HSYA groups, in the model group, we found 1111 DEGs that were up-/down-regulated, six of these genes were verified by qRT-PCR, including Tymp, Fabp7, Serpina3c, Gpnmb, Il1r1, and Creld2, indicated that these genes were obviously involved in the regulation of HSYA in ALI model. Membrane rafts, membrane microdomains, inflammatory response, regulation of cytokine production, monooxygenase activity, and iron ion binding were significantly enriched in GO analysis. KEGG analysis revealed that DEGs were primarily enriched for PPAR, retinol metabolism, NF-kB signaling pathways, etc. Last but not least, compared with the control group, the anti-O2− content was substantially decreased, the H2O2 content and inflammatory genes (Icam1, Bcl2a1, and Ptgs2) levels were considerably elevated in the model group. Compared with the model group, the anti-O2− content was substantially increased, the H2O2 content and inflammatory genes (Icam1, Bcl2a1, and Ptgs2) levels were substantially decreased in the HSYA group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: HSYA could improve liver function, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation, and improve the degree of liver tissue damage. The RNA-Seq results further verified that HSYA has the typical characteristics of numerous targets and multiple pathway. Protecting the liver from damage by regulating the expression of Tymp, Fabp7, Serpina3c, Gpnmb, Il1r1, Creld2, and the PPAR, retinol metabolism, NF-kappa B signaling pathways.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important component of a standard combination therapy against tuberculosis. However, PZA is hepatotoxic, and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Biotransformation of PZA in the liver was primarily suggested behind its hepatoxicity. This review summarizes the knowledge of the key enzymes involved in PZA metabolism and discusses their contributions to PZA hepatotoxicity. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This review outlines the current understanding of PZA metabolism and hepatotoxicity. This work also highlights the gaps in this field, which can be used to guide the future studies on PZA-induced liver injury.

Association of POR and PPARα polymorphisms with risk of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury in Western Chinese Han population. INFECTION GENETICS AND EVOLUTION 2019; 79:104147. [PMID: 31857256 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2019.104147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2019] [Revised: 11/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) is a common and sometimes severe adverse drug reaction (ADR). This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of two genes, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and the risk of ATDILI in Western Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 118 tuberculosis (TB) patients with ATDILI and 628 TB patients without ATDILI during anti-TB treatment were recruited from West China Hospital of Sichuan University. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood, and genotypes of the selected 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (3 SNPs in the POR gene and 9 SNPs in the PPARα gene) were determined. Three genetic models (additive, dominant, and recessive), as well as a haplotype, were used to test the genetic risk of ATDILI. Extended subgroup analysis was conducted according to age, sex and different causality assessments. RESULTS The mutant allele, genotype and genetic model of rs3898649 in the POR gene were found to be associated with increased risk of ATDILI, especially in the younger (<50 years old), female and pulmonary tuberculosis subgroup. The other two SNPs rs28737229 and rs4728533 in the POR gene showed only a potential association with susceptibility to ATDILI after Bonferroni correction (P < .05 but PBonferroni > .05). The other 9 SNPs loci (rs135549, rs9626730, rs4253712, rs4823613, rs4253730, rs6007662, rs4253728, rs2024929 and rs135561) in the PPARα gene showed no significant differences between ATDILI and non-ATDILI in either allele frequencies or genotype (all P >.05). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated the strong correlation between POR gene SNP rs3898649 and ATDILI susceptibility, suggesting the importance of POR rs3898649 in the pathogenesis and development of ATDILI. Therefore, our results indicated that POR rs3898649 might be a valuable biomarker potentially involved in ATDILI.

Association between genetic polymorphisms of NRF2, KEAP1, MAFF, MAFK and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury: a nested case-control study. Sci Rep 2019; 9:14311. [PMID: 31586142 PMCID: PMC6778130 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-50706-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2017] [Accepted: 09/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Reactive metabolites of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs can result in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for drug-induced liver injury. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) - antioxidant response elements (ARE) (Nrf2-ARE) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in protecting liver cells from ROS, inducing enzymes such as phase II metabolizing enzymes and antioxidant enzymes. Based on a Chinese anti-TB treatment cohort, a nested case-control study was performed to explore the association between 13 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in the NRF2, KEAP1, MAFF, MAFK genes in Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and the risk of anti-TB drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) in 314 cases and 628 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) after adjusting weight and usage of hepatoprotectant. Patients carrying the TC genotype at rs4243387 or haplotype C-C (rs2001350-rs6726395) in NRF2 were at an increased risk of ATLI (adjusted OR = 1.362, 95% CI: 1.017–1.824, P = 0.038; adjusted OR = 2.503, 95% CI: 1.273–4.921, P = 0.008, respectively), whereas patients carrying TC genotype at rs2267373 or haplotype C-G-C (rs2267373-rs4444637-rs4821767) in MAFF were at a reduced risk of ATLI (adjusted OR = 0.712, 95% CI: 0.532–0.953, P = 0.022; adjusted OR = 0.753, 95% CI: 0.587–0.965, P = 0.025, respectively). Subgroup analysis also detected a significant association between multiple tagSNPs (rs4821767 and rs4444637 in MAFF, rs4720833 in MAFK) and specific clinical patterns of liver injury under different genetic models. This study shows that genetic polymorphisms of NRF2, MAFF and MAFK may contribute to the susceptibility to ATLI in the Chinese anti-TB treatment population.

Abstract
In HIV infection, oxidative stress is a pronounced phenomenon, with likely links to HIV-related pathologies and the progression of HIV infection per se. TB is an AIDS-defining condition. HIV-associated oxidative stress, like that associated with diabetes mellitus, might adversely impact the outcomes of TB, probably through increased propensity for generation of metabolically dormant mycobacterial persisters, alongside other mechanisms. This hypothesis might help in guiding the exploration of relevant research directions to improve the care of patients.

Abstract
Hepatotoxicity induced by antituberculosis drugs is a serious adverse reaction with significant morbidity and even, rarely, mortality. This form of toxicity potentially impacts the treatment outcome of tuberculosis in some patients. Covering only first-line antituberculosis drugs, this review addresses whether and how oxidative stress and, more broadly, disturbance in redox homeostasis alongside mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to the hepatotoxicity induced by them. Risk factors for such toxicity that have been identified, in addition to genetic factors, principally include old age, malnutrition, alcoholism, chronic hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis B infection, HIV infection, and preexisting liver disease. Importantly, these comorbid conditions are associated with oxidative stress. Thus, the shared pathogenetic mechanism(s) for liver injury might be in operation due to disease-drug interaction. Our current ability to predict, prevent, or treat hepatotoxicity (other than removing potentially hepatotoxic drugs) remains limited. More translational research to unravel the pathogenesis, inclusive of the underlying molecular basis, regarding antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity is needed, and so is clinical research pertaining to the advances in therapy with antioxidants and drugs related to antioxidants, especially those for management of mitochondrial dysfunction. The role of pharmacogenetics in the clinical management of drug-induced hepatotoxicity also likely merits further evaluation.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PYZ)-an essential component of primary drug regimen used for the treatment and management of multidrug resistant or latent tuberculosis-is well known for its hepatoxicity. However, the mechanism of PYZ-induced hepatotoxicity is still unknown to researchers. Studies have shown that the drug is metabolized in the liver to pyrazinoic acid (PA) and 5-hydroxy pyrazinoic acid (5-OHPA) which individually may cause different degrees of hepatotoxicity. To evaluate this hypothesis, PYZ, PA, and 5-OHPA were administered to albino Wistar rats orally (respectively, at 250, 125, and 125 mg kg-1 for 28 days). Compared to normal rats, PYZ and its metabolic products decreased the weights of dosed rats and induced liver injury and a status of oxidative stress as assessed by combined histopathological and biochemical analysis. Compared to normal controls, the biochemical and morphological changes were more aberrant in PA- and 5-OHPA-dosed rats with respect to those dosed with PYZ. Finally, the serum metabolic profiles of rats dosed with PYZ, PA, and 5-OHPA were measured and compared with those of normal control rats. With respect to normal control rats, the rats dosed with PYZ and 5-OHPA showed most aberrant metabolic perturbations in their sera as compared to those dosed with PA. Altogether, the study suggests that PYZ-induced hepatotoxicity might be associated with its metabolized products, where 5-OHPA contributes to a higher degree in its overall toxicity than PA.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA)-induced serious liver injury, but the exact mechanism of PZA-induces hepatotoxicity remains controversial. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-caused cell apoptosis plays a critical role in the development of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). However, the direct connection between PZA toxicity and ER stress is unknown. In this study, we describe the role of ER stress in PZA induced hepatotoxicity in vivo and in vitro. We found that PZA induces apoptosis in HepG2 cells, and causes liver damage in rats, characterized by increased serum ALT, AST and TBA levels. PZA impairs antioxidant defenses, although this effect did not play an important role in resulting liver injury. The ER stress related proteins GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP and caspase12 were activated after PZA exposure both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, as an ER stress inhibitor, sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA) could ameliorate PZA toxicity in HepG2 cells and rat liver. These results have potential implications for the pathogenesis of PZA-induced hepatotoxicity in which ER stress especially PERK-eIF2α-ATF4-CHOP pathway participates in hepatocellular injury.

Toxicol Res (Camb) 2017; 6:17-29.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a well-known first line anti-tuberculosis drug used in combination with other drugs such as isoniazid and rifampicin. Unfortunately, PZA suffered from a high rate of hepatotoxicity and hyperuricemia, which has not been clearly elucidated, hindering its wide application for therapeutic purposes. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a model of rat sub-acute hepatotoxicity induced by PZA and to explore the affected metabolic pathways by a 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach complemented with histopathological analysis and clinical chemistry. Rats of both genders were administered with PZA by gavage at doses of 1.0 and 2.0 g kg-1 for 4 weeks. PZA decreased the weights of dosed rats and induced liver injury dose-dependently. The female rats were more sensitive to PZA induced damage. Orthogonal signal correction partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OSC-PLS-DA) of the NMR profiles of the rat liver and serum revealed that PZA produced a status of oxidative stress and disturbances in purine metabolism, energy metabolism and NAD+ metabolism in a gender-specific and dose-dependent manner. These findings could be helpful to clarify the mechanism of PZA-induced hepatotoxicity and hyperuricemia. This integrated metabolomics approach showcased its ability to characterize the global metabolic status of organisms, providing a powerful and feasible tool to probe drug induced toxicity or side effects.

Liver Fatty Acid Binding Protein Deficiency Provokes Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis-Mediated Hepatotoxicity Induced by Pyrazinamide in Zebrafish Larvae. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2016; 60:7347-7356.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an essential antitubercular drug, but little is still known about its hepatotoxicity potential. This study examined the effects of PZA exposure on zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae and the mechanisms underlying its hepatotoxicity. A transgenic line of zebrafish larvae that expressed enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in the liver was incubated with 1, 2.5, and 5 mM PZA from 72 h postfertilization (hpf). Different endpoints such as mortality, morphology changes in the size and shape of the liver, histological changes, transaminase analysis and apoptosis, markers of oxidative and genetic damage, as well as the expression of certain genes were selected to evaluate PZA-induced hepatotoxicity. Our results confirm the manner of PZA dose-dependent hepatotoxicity. PZA was found to induce marked injury in zebrafish larvae, such as liver atrophy, elevations of transaminase levels, oxidative stress, and hepatocyte apoptosis. To further understand the mechanism behind PZA-induced hepatotoxicity, changes in gene expression levels in zebrafish larvae exposed to PZA for 72 h postexposure (hpe) were determined. The results of this study demonstrated that PZA decreased the expression levels of liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and its target gene, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α), and provoked more severe oxidative stress and hepatitis via the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). These findings suggest that L-FABP-mediated PPAR-α downregulation appears to be a hepatotoxic response resulting from zebrafish larva liver cell apoptosis, and L-FABP can be used as a biomarker for the early detection of PZA-induced liver damage in zebrafish larvae.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) causes serious hepatotoxicity, but little is known about the exact mechanism by which PZA induced liver injury. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha (PPARα) is highly expressed in the liver and modulates the intracellular lipidmetabolism. So far, the role of PPARα in the hepatotoxicity of PZA is unknown. In the present study, we described the hepatotoxic effects of PZA and the role of PPARα and its target genes in the downstream pathway including L-Fabp, Lpl, Cpt-1b, Acaa1, Apo-A1 and Me1 in this process. We found PZA induced the liver lipid metabolism disorder and PPARα expressionwas down-regulated which had a significant inverse correlation with liver injury degree. These changeswere ameliorated by fenofibrate, the co-treatment that acts as a PPARα agonist. In contrast, short-termstarvation significantly aggravated the severity of PZA-induced liver injury. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the critical role played by PPARα in PZA-induced hepatotoxicity and provided a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PZA-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Isoniazide (INH) is a classic antituberculosis drug associated with clinical idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury. It has been hypothesized that the interaction between a drug and modest inflammation results in a decreased threshold for drug toxicity. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that INH causes liver injury in rats when coadministered with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Neither INH nor LPS alone caused liver injury. The coadministration of INH and LPS was associated with increases in serum and histopathological markers of liver injury. Tumour necrosis factor-α expression was significantly increased in the coadministered group. The downregulation of the bile acid transporter, bile salt export pump, and multidrug resistance protein 2 at both mRNA and protein levels was observed. Furthermore, the level of Farnesoid X receptor, which regulates the bile salt export pump and multidrug resistance protein 2, were clearly decreased. These results indicate that the coadministration of nontoxic doses of LPS and INH causes liver injury; the disruption of biliary excretion is considered the primary inflammation-related characteristic of INH-induced hepatotoxicity.

Host targeted activity of pyrazinamide in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. PLoS One 2013; 8:e74082.

Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the first line antibiotics used for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). In the present study, we have used in vitro and in vivo systems to investigate whether PZA, in addition to its known anti-mycobacterial properties, modulate the host immune response during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. In vitro we have examined the effect of PZA on cytokine and chemokine release by Mtb-infected or Toll-like receptor (TLR) -stimulated primary human monocytes. In vivo, we have investigated at the transcriptional levels using genome-wide microarray gene expression analysis, whether PZA treatment of Mtb-infected mice alters the host immune response to Mtb infection in the lungs. Here, we report that PZA treatment of Mtb-infected human monocytes and mice significantly reduces the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1 at the protein and at the gene transcription levels, respectively. Data from microarray analysis also reveal that PZA treatment of Mtb-infected mice significantly alters the expression level of genes involved in the regulation of the pro-inflammatory mediators, lung inflammatory response and TLR signaling networks. Specifically, genes coding for adenylate cyclase and Peroxisome-Proliferator Activated Receptor (PPAR), molecules known for their anti-inflammatory effect, were found to be up-regulated in the lungs of PZA-treated Mtb-infected mice. Based on the microarray findings, we propose that PZA treatment modulates the host immune response to Mtb infection by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production, probably through PPAR- and NF-kB- dependent pathways. In addition, our results suggest that inclusion or exclusion of PZA in the TB treatment regimen could potentially affect the biomarker signature detected in the circulation of TB patients.
