[PMID: 38845486 DOI: 10.1111/apt.18059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic steatosis is a common finding in liver histopathology and the hallmark of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whose global prevalence is rising. AIMS To review the histopathology of hepatic steatosis and its mechanisms of development and to identify common and rare disease associations. METHODS We reviewed literature on the basic science of lipid droplet (LD) biology and clinical research on acute and chronic liver diseases associated with hepatic steatosis using the PubMed database. RESULTS A variety of genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of chronic hepatic steatosis or steatotic liver disease, which typically appears macrovesicular. Microvesicular steatosis is associated with acute mitochondrial dysfunction and liver failure. Fat metabolic processes in hepatocytes whose dysregulation leads to the development of steatosis include secretion of lipoprotein particles, uptake of remnant lipoprotein particles or free fatty acids from blood, de novo lipogenesis, oxidation of fatty acids, lipolysis and lipophagy. Hepatic insulin resistance is a key feature of MASLD. Seipin is a polyfunctional protein that facilitates LD biogenesis. Assembly of hepatitis C virus takes place on LD surfaces. LDs make important, functional contact with the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles. CONCLUSIONS Diverse liver pathologies are associated with hepatic steatosis, with MASLD being the most important contributor. The biogenesis and dynamics of LDs in hepatocytes are complex and warrant further investigation. Organellar interfaces permit co-regulation of lipid metabolism to match generation of potentially toxic lipid species with their LD depot storage.

Abstract
The fatty liver disease represents a complex, multifaceted challenge, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for effective management and research. This article uses conventional and advanced imaging techniques to explore the etiology, imaging patterns, and quantification methods of hepatic steatosis. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges and advancements in the imaging diagnostics of fatty liver disease. Techniques such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, and elastography are indispensable for providing deep insights into the liver's fat content. These modalities not only distinguish between diffuse and focal steatosis but also help identify accompanying conditions, such as inflammation and fibrosis, which are critical for accurate diagnosis and management.

Liver toxicity in oncology trials and beyond: a simplified concept for management of hepatocellular drug-induced liver injury in patients with abnormal baseline liver tests. Expert Opin Drug Saf 2024; 23:527-537. [PMID: 38482670 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2024.2327509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of side effects in clinical trials has to balance generation of meaningful data with risk for patients. A toxicity area requiring detailed management guidelines is drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In oncology trials, patients are often included despite baseline liver test abnormalities, for whom there is no consensus yet on levels of liver test changes that should trigger action, such as drug interruption or discontinuation. METHODS We provide an innovative approach to manage hepatocellular DILI in oncology trials for patients with abnormal baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. The algorithm proposed is based on mathematical derivation of action thresholds from those generally accepted for patients with normal baselines. RESULTS The resulting algorithm is grouped by level of baseline abnormality and avoids calculation of baseline multiples. Suggested layered action levels are 4, 6, and 11 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) for patients with baseline ALT between 1.5 and 3 × ULN, and 6, 8, and 12 × ULN for patients with baseline ALT between 3 and 5 × ULN, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our concept and resulting algorithm are consistent, transparent, and easy to follow, and the method for derivation from consensus-based thresholds may also be applicable to other drug toxicity areas.

Abstract
Obtaining an imaging diagnosis of various hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders caused by certain drugs can often be challenging. Familiarity with these conditions may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management. This review aimed to describe the imaging findings of drug-associated hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders and identify suggestions for obtaining a correct diagnosis. We focused on relatively common disorders or those that can present with characteristic imaging findings, such as drug-induced acute hepatitis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, focal nodular hyperplasia-like lesions, hepatocellular adenoma, pseudocirrhosis, chemotherapy-associated steatohepatitis, amiodarone deposition in the liver, secondary iron overload, drug-induced pancreatitis, pancreatic enlargement after epoprostenol therapy, ceftriaxone-associated gallbladder pseudolithiasis, immune-related adverse events, and methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to define CT imaging derived phenotypes for patients with hepatic steatosis, a common metabolic liver condition, and determine its association with patient data from a medical biobank. There is a need to further characterize hepatic steatosis in lean patients, as its epidemiology may differ from that in overweight patients. A deep learning method determined the spleen-hepatic attenuation difference (SHAD) in Hounsfield Units (HU) on abdominal CT scans as a quantitative measure of hepatic steatosis. The patient cohort was stratified by BMI with a threshold of 25 kg/m2 and hepatic steatosis with threshold SHAD ≥ - 1 HU or liver mean attenuation ≤ 40 HU. Patient characteristics, diagnoses, and laboratory results representing metabolism and liver function were investigated. A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) was performed for the statistical interaction between SHAD and the binary characteristic LEAN. The cohort contained 8914 patients-lean patients with (N = 278, 3.1%) and without (N = 1867, 20.9%) steatosis, and overweight patients with (N = 1863, 20.9%) and without (N = 4906, 55.0%) steatosis. Among all lean patients, those with steatosis had increased rates of cardiovascular disease (41.7 vs 27.8%), hypertension (86.7 vs 49.8%), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (29.1 vs 15.7%) (all p < 0.0001). Ten phenotypes were significant in the PheWAS, including chronic kidney disease, renal failure, and cardiovascular disease. Hepatic steatosis was found to be associated with cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic conditions, separate from overweight BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate the correlation and diagnostic value of liver fat quantification in unenhanced dual-energy CT (DECT) using quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) mDIXON-Quant sequence as reference standard in patients with breast cancer. METHODS Patients with breast cancer were prospectively recruited between June 2018 and April 2020. Each patient underwent liver DECT and MRI mDIXON-Quant examination. The DECT-fat volume fraction (FVF) and liver-spleen attenuation differences were compared with the MRI-proton density fat fraction using scatterplots, Bland-Altman plots, and concordance correlation coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic curves were established to determine the diagnostic accuracy of hepatic steatosis by DECT. RESULTS A total of 216 patients with breast cancer (mean age, 50.08 ± 9.33 years) were evaluated. The DECT-FVF correlated well with MRI-proton density fat fraction ( r2 = 0.902; P < 0.001), which was higher than the difference in liver-spleen attenuation ( r2 = 0.728; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed slight positive bias; the mean difference was 3.986. The DECT-FVF yielded an average concordance correlation coefficient of 0.677, which was higher than the difference of liver-spleen attenuation (-0.544). The DECT-FVF and the difference in liver-spleen attenuation both lead to mild overestimation of hepatic steatosis. The areas under the curve of DECT-FVF (0.956) were higher than the difference in liver-spleen attenuation (0.807) in identifying hepatic steatosis ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Dual-energy CT-FVF may serve as a reliable screening and quantitative tool for hepatic steatosis in patients with breast cancer.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in cancer therapeutics, chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for many tumors. Importantly, however, chemotherapy-induced toxicity, including hepatotoxicity, can lead to the interruption or discontinuation of potentially effective therapy. In recent years, special attention has been paid to the search for complementary therapies to mitigate chemotherapy-induced toxicity. Although there is currently a lack of specific interventions to mitigate or prevent hepatotoxicity in chemotherapy-treated patients, the polyphenol compound curcumin has emerged as a potential strategy to overcome this adverse effect. Here we review, firstly, the molecular and physiological mechanisms and major risk factors of chemotherapy-induced hepatotoxicity. We then present an overview of how curcumin has the potential to mitigate hepatotoxicity by targeting specific molecular mechanisms. Hepatotoxicity is a well-described side effect of cytotoxic drugs that can limit their clinical application. Inflammation and oxidative stress are the most common mechanisms involved in hepatotoxicity. Several studies have shown that curcumin could prevent and/or palliate chemotherapy-induced liver injury, mainly due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifibrotic and hypolipidemic properties. Further clinical investigation using bioavailable curcumin formulations is warranted to demonstrate its efficacy as an hepatoprotective agent in cancer patients.

Abstract
Most socially significant diseases, including breast cancer, are undeniably linked to obesity. Recently, a positive relationship between excessive weight and increased risk of breast cancer poor outcomes has been proved. Liver integrity is an essential point during chemotherapy. Consequently, a hepatic safe therapeutic approach for managing obesity in patients with breast cancer should be initiated. Our study aimed to assess the impact of the ketogenic diet on body mass index (BMI) and to evaluate its safety on liver function in female patients with breast cancer. The study comprised 520 women with ductal breast cancer who underwent a 60-day modified ketogenic diet. BMI, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin clotting time (aPTT), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI), and ultrasound liver elasticity was evaluated before and after the diet. The results showed a significant decrease in BMI and an improvement in ultrasound liver elasticity in all the participants after completing the diet. Before the KD, the participants' median BMI was 35.0 kg/m2, and after the 60-day diet, the median BMI was reduced to 30.0 kg/m2. No significant liver parameter changes were found after the diet. In conclusion, we can safely promote the keto diet amongst individuals with an increased chance of developing breast cancer for a better disease prevention.

Abstract
The liver is the primary organ for the metabolism of many chemotherapeutic agents. Treatment-induced liver injury is common in children undergoing cancer therapy. Hepatic injury occurs due to various mechanisms, including biochemical cytotoxicity, hepatic vascular injury, radiation-induced cytotoxicity, and direct hepatic injury through minimally invasive and invasive surgical treatments. Treatment-induced liver injury can be seen contemporaneous with therapy and months to years after therapy is complete. Patients can develop a combination of hepatic injuries manifesting during and after treatment. Acute toxic effects of cancer therapy in children include hepatitis, steatosis, steatohepatitis, cholestasis, hemosiderosis, and vascular injury. Longer-term effects of cancer therapy include hepatic fibrosis, chronic liver failure, and development of focal liver lesions. Quantitative imaging techniques can provide useful metrics for disease diagnosis and monitoring, especially in treatment-related diffuse liver injury such as hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis, hepatic iron deposition, and hepatic fibrosis. Focal liver lesions, including those developing as a result of treatment-related vascular injury such as focal nodular hyperplasia-like lesions and hepatic perfusion anomalies, as well as hepatic infections occurring as a consequence of immune suppression, can be anxiety provoking and confused with recurrent malignancy or hepatic metastases, although there often are imaging features that help elucidate the correct diagnosis. Radiologic evaluation, in conjunction with clinical and biochemical screening, is integral to diagnosing and monitoring hepatic complications of cancer therapy in pediatric patients during therapy and after therapy completion for long-term surveillance. ©RSNA, 2023 Quiz questions for this article are available in the supplemental material See the invited commentary by Ferraciolli and Gee in this issue.

Abstract
Oncotherapeutic agents can cause a wide range of liver injuries from elevated liver functions tests to fulminant liver failure. In this review, we emphasize a newer generation of drugs including immune checkpoint inhibitors, protein kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and hormonal therapy. A few conventional chemotherapy agents are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After decades of use, methotrexate displays an established safety and efficacy profile in both in-hospital and outpatient settings. Despite its widespread use, there is surprisingly little clinical evidence to guide daily practice with methotrexate in dermatology. OBJECTIVES To provide guidance for clinicians in daily practice for areas in which there is limited guidance. METHODS A Delphi consensus exercise on 23 statements was carried out on the use of methotrexate in dermatological routine settings. RESULTS Consensus was reached on statements that cover six main areas: (1) pre-screening exams and monitoring of therapy; (2) dosing and administration in patients naïve to methotrexate; (3) optimal strategy for patients in remission; (4) use of folic acid; (5) safety; and (6) predictors of toxicity and efficacy. Specific recommendations are provided for all 23 statements. CONCLUSIONS In order to optimize methotrexate efficacy, it is essential to optimize treatment using appropriate dosages, carrying out a rapid drug-based step-up on a treat-to-target strategy and preferably using the subcutaneous formulation. To manage safety aspects appropriately, it is essential to evaluate patients' risk factors and carry out proper monitoring during the course of treatment.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses the entire spectrum of fatty liver disease in individuals without significant alcohol consumption, including isolated steatosis, steatohepatitis, and cirrhosis. The overall global prevalence of NAFLD is estimated to be 30%, and the associated clinical and economic burden will continue to increase. NAFLD is a multisystemic disease with established links to cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and intra- and extrahepatic malignancies. In this article the authors review the potential mechanisms and current evidence for the association between NAFLD and extrahepatic cancers and the resultant impact on clinical outcomes.

Shi C, Zhang Z, Xu R, Zhang Y, Wang Z. Contribution of HIF-1α/BNIP3-mediated autophagy to lipid accumulation during irinotecan-induced liver injury. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6528.

Abstract
Irinotecan is a topoisomerase I inhibitor which has been widely used to combat several solid tumors, whereas irinotecan therapy can induce liver injury. Liver injury generally leads to tissue hypoxia, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a pivotal transcription factor, mediates adaptive pathophysiological responses to lower oxygen condition. Previous studies have reported a relationship between HIF-1α and autophagy, and autophagy impairment is a common characteristic in a variety of diseases. Here, irinotecan (50 mg/kg) was employed on mice, and HepG2 and L-02 cells were cultured with irinotecan (10, 20 and 40 μM). In vivo study, we found that irinotecan treatment increased final liver index, serum aminotransferase level and hepatic lipid accumulation. Impaired autophagic flux and activation of HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway were also demonstrated in the liver of irinotecan-treated mice. Moreover, irinotecan treatment significantly deteriorated hepatic oxidative stress, evidenced by increased MDA and ROS contents, as well as decreased GSH-Px, SOD and CAT contents. Interestingly, protein levels of NLRP3, cleaved-caspase 1 and IL-1β were enhanced in the liver of mice injected with irinotecan. In vitro study, irinotecan-treated HepG2 and L-02 cells also showed impaired autophagic flux, while HIF-1α inhibition efficaciously removed the accumulated autophagosomes induced by irinotecan. Additionally, irinotecan treatment aggravated lipid accumulation in HepG2 and L-02 cells, and HIF-1α inhibition reversed the effect of irinotecan. Furthermore, HIF-1α inhibition weakened irinotecan-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in HepG2 cells. Taken together, our results suggest that irinotecan induces liver injury by orchestrating autophagy via HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway, and HIF-1α inhibition could alleviate irinotecan-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 and L-02 cells, which will provide a new clue and direction for the prevention of side effects of clinical chemotherapy drugs.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a widespread and harmful disease closely linked to mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Globally, severe drug-induced hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer are the primary causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality. A hallmark of DILI is ERS and changes in mitochondrial morphology and function, which increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a vicious cycle of mutually reinforcing stress responses. Several pathways are maladapted to maintain homeostasis during DILI. Here, we discuss the processes of liver injury caused by several types of drugs that induce hepatocyte stress, focusing primarily on DILI by ERS and mitochondrial stress. Importantly, both ERS and mitochondrial stress are mediated by the overproduction of ROS, destruction of Ca2+ homeostasis, and unfolded protein response (UPR). Additionally, we review new pathways and potential pharmacological targets for DILI to highlight new possibilities for DILI treatment and mitigation.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a chemotherapy used to treat many types of cancer. Cardiotoxicity is one of the common drawbacks of 5-FU therapy. Quercetin (Qu) is a bioflavonoid with striking biological activities. This research aimed to assess the ameliorative effect of Qu against 5-FU-mediated cardiotoxicity. Thirty-five rats were allocated into five groups: control group (normal saline), 5-FU group (30 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), Qu group (50 mg/kg, oral), 25 mg/kg Qu+5-FU group, and 50 mg/kg Qu+5-FU. The experimental animals were received the above-mentioned drugs for 21 days. Results showed that 5-FU significantly elevated creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, serum cholesterol and triglyceride, and upregulated troponin and renin mRNA expression. Additionally, cardiac oxidant/antioxidant imbalance was evident in elevated oxidants (malondialdehyde and nitric oxide) and depleted antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione). 5-FU also downregulated the gene expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2. Furthermore, 5-FU significantly increased cardiac pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1 beta) and upregulated gene expression of nuclear factor kappa-B. 5-FU significantly enhanced cardiac apoptosis through upregulating caspase-3 expression and downregulating B-cell lymphoma 2. Immunohistochemical and histopathological examinations verified the above-mentioned findings. However, all these changes were significantly ameliorated in Qu pre-administered rats. Conclusively, Qu counteracted 5-FU-mediated cardiotoxicity through potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects.

Abstract
Within the aging population, the frequency of cancer is increasing dramatically. In addition, multiple genetic and environmental factors lead to common multifactorial diseases, including cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the connection between cancer and multifactorial diseases, as well as how one can affect the other, resulting in a vicious cycle. Although the exact mechanistic explanations behind this remain to be fully explored, some progress has been made in uncovering the common pathologic mechanisms. In this review, we focus on the nature of the link between cancer and common multifactorial conditions, as well as specific shared mechanisms, some of which may represent either preventive or therapeutic targets. Rather than organ-specific interactions, we herein focus on the shared mechanisms among the multifactorial diseases, which may explain the increased cancer risk. More research on this subject will highlight the significance of developing new drugs that target multiple systems rather than just one disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to help oncologists who predominantly treat adults better understand and manage asparaginase associated toxicities and prevent unnecessary discontinuation or reluctance of its use. RECENT FINDINGS Given the data supporting the benefit of incorporating multiple doses of asparaginase in pediatric type regimens, it is prudent to promote deeper understanding of this drug, particularly its toxicities, and its use so as to optimize treatment of ALL. Although asparaginase is associated with a variety of toxicities, the vast majority are not life threatening and do not preclude repeat dosing of this important drug. Understanding the pharmacology and toxicity profile of asparaginase is critical to dosing asparaginase appropriately in order to minimize these toxicities.

Abstract
Over recent years, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common liver disorder in the developed world, accounting for 20% to 46% of liver abnormalities. Steatosis is the hallmark of NAFLD and is recognized as an important risk factor for complication and death after general surgery, even more so after liver resection. Similarly, liver steatosis also impacts the safety of live liver donation and transplantation. We aim to review surgical outcomes after liver resection for colorectal metastases in patients with steatosis and discuss the most common pre-operative strategies to reduce steatosis. Finally, as illustration, we report the favorable effect of a low-caloric, hyper-protein diet during a two-stage liver resection for colorectal metastases in a patient with severe steatosis.

Hepatic ROS Mediated Macrophage Activation Is Responsible for Irinotecan Induced Liver Injury. Cells 2022; 11:cells11233791.

Abstract
Irinotecan is the first line chemotherapy drug used for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer worldwide. There is increasing evidence suggesting that liver damage, including steatosis and steatohepatitis, can be caused during the treatment involving irinotecan. However, molecular mechanisms by which irinotecan-induced liver injury remain elusive. In this study, we found that irinotecan treatment caused significant elevation of ALT, inflammation, and fat accumulation in the liver, which are associated with hepatic macrophage activation. Depletion of macrophages by clodronate liposome improved irinotecan induced liver injury and inflammatory response in mice. In vitro data indicated that irinotecan induced intracellular ROS production in primary hepatocyte and upregulating of toll-like receptor (TLRs) family expression in macrophages. Supernatant from irinotecan treated hepatocyte triggered macrophage activation and upregulation of TLRs in macrophage, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) abolished these effects. By using co-culture system, we further revealed that irinotecan activated macrophage induced impairment of lipid metabolism and promoted apoptosis in hepatocyte and NAC prevented macrophage-induced cell death and partially revered impaired lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. By using the irinotecan liver injury model, we demonstrated that combining NAC with irinotecan prevented irinotecan-induced macrophage activation, TLR upregulation, liver injury, and partially prevented the accumulation of triglycerides in liver. Our results thus indicated that macrophages play a critical role in irinotecan-induced liver injury, and targeting ROS provides new options for development of hepatoprotective drugs in clinical practice.

Abstract
Irinotecan (CPT-11) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) are commonly used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, but chemotherapy-associated steatosis/steatohepatitis (CASSH) frequently accompanies their use. The objective of this study was to determine effect of CPT-11+5-FU on liver toxicity, liver oxylipins, and cytokines, and to explore whether these alterations could be modified by dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the form of fish oil (EPA+DHA). Tumor-bearing animals were administered CPT-11+5-FU and maintained on a control diet or a diet containing EPA+DHA (2.3 g/100 g). Livers were collected one week after chemotherapy for the analysis of oxylipins, cytokines, and markers of liver pathology (oxidized glutathione, GSSH; 4-hydroxynonenal, 4-HNE, and type-I collagen fiber). Dietary EPA+DHA prevented the chemotherapy-induced increases in liver GSSH (p < 0.011) and 4-HNE (p < 0.006). Compared with the tumor-bearing animals, ten oxylipins were altered (three/ten n-6 oxylipins were elevated while seven/ten n-3 oxylipins were reduced) following chemotherapy. Reductions in the n-3 fatty-acid-derived oxylipins that were evident following chemotherapy were restored by dietary EPA+DHA. Liver TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 were elevated (p < 0.05) following chemotherapy; dietary EPA+DHA reduced IL-6 (p = 0.09) and eotaxin (p = 0.007) levels. Chemotherapy-induced liver injury results in distinct alterations in oxylipins and cytokines, and dietary EPA+DHA attenuates these pathophysiological effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of the classifications and clinical hallmarks of common cancer-related conditions that contribute to the high incidence of portal hypertension in this population and provide an update on currently available interventional radiology therapeutic approaches. RECENT FINDINGS In the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in understanding the pathophysiology of portal hypertension. This knowledge has led to the development of safer and more effective minimally invasive approaches. The main objective is to provide alternatives to prevent life-threatening complications from clinically significant portal hypertension and to allow the continuation of cancer treatment interventions that would otherwise be stopped. Clinicians involved in cancer care should be aware of risk factors, associated complications, and management of portal hypertension in cancer patients. Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive alternatives that play a central role in improving clinical outcomes and survival of these patients, allowing the continuation of cancer treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of chemotherapy-associated steatohepatitis, quantitate the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume in breast cancer patients, and explore the mediating effect of liver fat content on EAT volume in breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). METHODS From October 2018 to April 2020, patients were retrospectively reviewed and divided into breast cancer non-NAC and NAC groups. The prevalence of chemotherapy-associated steatohepatitis was evaluated through quantitative MRI mDIXON-Quant examinations by using defined proton density fat fraction cutoffs of liver fat. The EAT volume was quantified on chest CT by semi-automatic volume analysis software. Bootstrap analysis was used in the breast cancer NAC group to test the significance of the mediating effect of liver fat content on EAT volume. RESULTS A total of 662 breast cancer patients (non-NAC group: 445 patients; NAC group: 217 patients) were included. The prevalence of chemotherapy-associated steatohepatitis in the NAC group was significantly higher than the prevalence of hepatic steatosis in the non-NAC group (42.8% vs. 33.3%, p < 0.001). EAT volume was measured in 561 of 662 breast cancer patients, and was significantly higher in the NAC group than in the non-NAC group (137.26 ± 53.48 mL vs. 125.14 ± 58.77 mL, p = 0.020). In the breast cancer NAC group, the indirect effect of liver fat content on EAT volume was 2.545 (p < 0.001), and the contribution rate to the effect was 69.1%. CONCLUSIONS EAT volume was significantly higher in the BC-NAC group than in the BC-non-NAC group. KEY POINTS • The prevalence of CASH was as high as 42.8% in BC patients. • NAC significantly increased the EAT volume in BC patients. • The liver fat content caused the change of EAT volume through mediating effect.

Biomedicines 2022; 10:194. [PMID: 35052872 PMCID: PMC8774221 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10010194] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are some of the biggest public health challenges due to their spread and increasing incidence around the world. NAFLD is characterized by intrahepatic lipid deposition, accompanied by dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance, leading to more serious complications. Among the various causes, drug administration for the treatment of numerous kinds of diseases, such as antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive drugs, promotes the onset and progression of steatosis, causing drug-induced hepatic steatosis (DIHS). Here, we reviewed in detail the major classes of drugs that cause DIHS and the specific molecular mechanisms involved in these processes. Eight classes of drugs, among the most used for the treatment of common pathologies, were considered. The most diffused mechanism whereby drugs can induce NAFLD/NASH is interfering with mitochondrial activity, inhibiting fatty acid oxidation, but other pathways involved in lipid homeostasis are also affected. PubMed research was performed to obtain significant papers published up to November 2021. The key words included the class of drugs, or the specific compound, combined with steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, fatty liver and hepatic lipid deposition. Additional information was found in the citations listed in other papers, when they were not displayed in the original search.

Abstract
The liver is the major drug-metabolizing and drug-detoxifying organ. Many drugs can cause liver damage through various mechanisms; however, the liver response to injury includes a relatively narrow spectrum of alterations that, regardless of the cause, are represented by phlogosis, oxidative stress and necrosis. The combination of these alterations mainly results in three radiological findings: vascular alterations, structural changes and metabolic function reduction. Chemotherapy has changed in recent decades in terms of the drugs, protocols and duration, allowing patients a longer life expectancy. As a consequence, we are currently observing an increase in chemotherapy-associated liver injury patterns once considered unusual. Recognizing this form of damage in an early stage is crucial for reconsidering the therapy regimen and thus avoiding severe complications. In this frontier article, we analyze the role of imaging in detecting some of these pathological patterns, such as pseudocirrhosis, “yellow liver” due to chemotherapy-associated steatosis-steatohepatitis, and “blue liver”, including sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, veno-occlusive disease and peliosis.

Alterations in hepatic fatty acids reveal depletion of total polyunsaturated fatty acids following irinotecan plus 5-fluorouracil treatment in an animal model of colorectal cancer. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2021; 174:102359.

Abstract
Fatty liver is a side effect of chemotherapy that limits the ability to treat colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in the most effective way. The aim of this study was to determine hepatic fatty acid composition and expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism at two time points following sequential chemotherapy treatment with Irinotecan (CPT-11)+5-fluorouracil (5-FU), agents commonly used to treat human colorectal cancer. Female Fischer 344 rats were provided a semi-purified AIN-76 basal diet with modified fat component. One cycle of chemotherapy consisted of CPT-11+5-FU and was initiated 2 weeks after tumor implantation (D0); a second cycle was given one week later. Two days after each cycle (Day 2 and Day 9), animals were euthanized, and livers collected. Triacylglycerol (TAG) and phospholipid (PL) fractions were isolated using thin layer chromatography and fatty acids (FAs) were quantified using gas chromatography. Expression of 44 lipid metabolism genes were analyzed by qPCR. Total liver TAG level was lowest after the second cycle D0 and D2 (P = 0.05) characterized by lower content of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). N-6 PUFAs significantly declined with subsequent treatments. Of 44 genes analyzed, 13 genes were altered with CPT-11+5-FU treatment. Expression of genes VLCAD and DGAT1, involved in fatty acid oxidation as well as DGAT1 in TAG synthesis, were significantly elevated after each cycle, whereas expression of genes ELOVL2 and FADS2, involved in fatty acid elongation and desaturation were significantly lower at D9 compared to D2 and D0 (P < 0.03). Hepatic total TAG PUFA was depleted, and genes involved in pathways of PUFA synthesis were down-regulated by chemotherapy treatment. This observation suggests impediments in lipid metabolism in the liver that could potentially impact peripheral availability of essential fatty acids.

Abstract
The hepatotoxicity of irinotecan is drawing wide concern nowadays due to the widespread use of this chemotherapeutic against various solid tumors, particularly metastatic colorectal cancer. Irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity mainly manifests as transaminase increase and steatosis with or without transaminase increase, and is accompanied by vacuolization, and lobular inflammation. Irinotecan-induced steatohepatitis (IIS) increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM). The major risks and predisposing factors for IIS include high body mass index (BMI) or obesity, diabetes, and high-fat diet. Mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy impairment may be involved in the pathogenesis of IIS. However, there is currently no effective preventive or therapeutic treatment for this condition. Thus, the precise mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of IIS should be deciphered for the development of therapeutic drugs. This review summarizes the current knowledge and research progress on IIS.

Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (commonly known as MAFLD) impacts global health in epidemic proportions, and the resulting morbidity, mortality and economic burden is enormous. While much attention has been given to metabolic syndrome and obesity as offending factors, a growing incidence of polypharmacy, especially in the elderly, has greatly increased the risk of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in general, and drug-induced fatty liver disease (DIFLD) in particular. This review focuses on the contribution of DIFLD to DILI in terms of epidemiology, pathophysiology, the most common drugs associated with DIFLD, and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major cause of acute liver failure (ALF) and one of the leading indications for liver transplantation in Western societies. Given the wide use of both prescribed and over the counter drugs, DILI has become a major health issue for which there is a pressing need to find novel and effective therapies. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DILI, our incomplete knowledge of its pathogenesis and inability to predict DILI is largely due to both discordance between human and animal DILI in preclinical drug development and a lack of models that faithfully recapitulate complex pathophysiological features of human DILI. This is exemplified by the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen (APAP) overdose, a major cause of ALF because of its extensive worldwide use as an analgesic. Despite intensive efforts utilising current animal and in vitro models, the mechanisms involved in the hepatotoxicity of APAP are still not fully understood. In this expert Consensus Statement, which is endorsed by the European Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network, we aim to facilitate and outline clinically impactful discoveries by detailing the requirements for more realistic human-based systems to assess hepatotoxicity and guide future drug safety testing. We present novel insights and discuss major players in APAP pathophysiology, and describe emerging in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical models, as well as advanced imaging and in silico technologies, which may improve prediction of clinical outcomes of DILI.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-associated steatosis is poorly understood in the context of colorectal cancer. In this study, Stage II–III colorectal cancer patients were retrospectively selected to evaluate the frequency of chemotherapy-associated steatosis and to determine whether patients on statins throughout adjuvant chemotherapy develop chemotherapy-associated steatosis at a lower frequency. Baseline and incident steatosis for up to one year from chemotherapy start date was assessed based on radiology. Of 269 patients, 76 (28.3%) had steatosis at baseline. Of the remaining 193 cases, patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 135) had 1.57 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89 to 2.79) times the adjusted risk of developing steatosis compared to patients not receiving chemotherapy (n = 58). Among patients who underwent chemotherapy, those using statins for pre-existing hyperlipidemia (n = 37) had 0.71 (95% CI, 0.10 to 2.75) times the risk of developing steatosis compared to patients who were not prevalent users of statins (n = 98). Chemotherapeutic treatment of Stage II–III colorectal cancer appears to be consistent with a moderately increased risk of steatosis, although larger studies are necessary to assess the significance of this observation. Prospective trials should be considered to further explore the potential for protective use of statins in this curative patient population.

[PMID: 34265292 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Tamoxifen (TAM) therapy has been associated with fatty liver diseases. Recently, multiple reports have also shown that TAM is related to cognitive impairment in patients with breast cancer. Luteolin, a natural flavonoid, has been traditionally used to treat various inflammatory disorders, such as chronic liver diseases, cognitive impairments, and cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the potential protective effects of luteolin against the cognitive defects and liver steatosis induced by TAM in rats. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The diseased group was subcutaneously (s.c) injected with TAM at a dose of 1 mg/kg daily for 7 days. The cotreated groups were given luteolin via oral gavage at a dose of 20 or 40 mg/kg concomitantly with s.c injection of TAM at a dose of 1 mg/kg for 7 days. All the groups were subjected to behavioral tests 24 h after the last TAM injection. Then, the rats were sacrificed 3 days after the last TAM injection. RESULTS Luteolin cotreatment significantly alleviated the behavioral defects in rats with TAM-induced cognitive impairment. This finding was supported by the reversal of neurodegeneration in the cortex and in the hippocampal regions of the brain. Furthermore, luteolin attenuated hepatic steatosis and decreased the levels of serum aminotransferases and hypertriglyceridemia. As an anti-inflammatory agent, luteolin cotreatment similarly decreased the levels of hepatic inflammatory markers and increased the levels of hepatic β-catenin in TAM-induced fatty liver. CONCLUSIONS Luteolin improved the TAM-induced cognitive impairment and hepatic steatosis in rats by alleviating inflammation and modulating hepatic β-catenin levels.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment but is often restricted by toxicities. What distinguishes adverse events from concomitant antitumor reactions is poorly understood. Here, using anti-CD40 treatment in mice as a model of TH1-promoting immunotherapy, we showed that liver macrophages promoted local immune-related adverse events. Mechanistically, tissue-resident Kupffer cells mediated liver toxicity by sensing lymphocyte-derived IFN-γ and subsequently producing IL-12. Conversely, dendritic cells were dispensable for toxicity but drove tumor control. IL-12 and IFN-γ were not toxic themselves but prompted a neutrophil response that determined the severity of tissue damage. We observed activation of similar inflammatory pathways after anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapies in mice and humans. These findings implicated macrophages and neutrophils as mediators and effectors of aberrant inflammation in TH1-promoting immunotherapy, suggesting distinct mechanisms of toxicity and antitumor immunity.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent and increasing liver disease, which encompasses a variety of liver diseases of different severity. NAFLD can lead to liver cirrhosis with all its complications as well as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Steatosis of the liver is not only related to obesity and other metabolic risk factors, but can also be caused by several drugs, including certain cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. In patients undergoing liver surgery, hepatic steatosis is associated with an increased risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality. This review paper summarizes implications of hepatic steatosis on the management of patients with cancer. Specifically, we discuss the epidemiological trends, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management of NAFLD, and its role as a leading cause of liver cancer. We elaborate on factors promoting immunosuppression in patients with NAFLD-related HCC and how this may affect the efficacy of immunotherapy. We also summarize the mechanisms and clinical course of chemotherapy-induced acute steatohepatitis (CASH) and its implications on cancer treatment, especially in patients undergoing liver resection. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can lead to cirrhosis with all its complications, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Chemotherapy-associated acute steatohepatitis is a side-effect of chemotherapeutic agents and may limit treatment options. In this review we summarize current clinical concepts of NAFLD and CASH that help clinicians in their clinical practice.

Cyanocobalamin and/or calcitriol mitigate renal damage-mediated by tamoxifen in rats: Implication of caspase-3/NF-κB signaling pathways. Life Sci 2021; 277:119512. [PMID: 33862116 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.119512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
AIM Tamoxifen (TAMO) is a chemotherapeutic drug used for the treatment of breast cancer. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information available in regarding its nephrotoxicity. The purpose of this work was to investigate the impact of cyanocobalamin (COB) and/or calcitriol (CAL) injections on TAMO-induced nephrotoxicity. MAIN METHODS Animals were allocated into five groups as follows: normal control group; TAMO (45 mg/kg) administered group; TAMO+COB (6mg/kg, i.p) treated group; TAMO+CAL (0.3 μg/kg, i.p) treated group; TAMO+COB+CAL combination groups. KEY FINDINGS Renal injury induced by TAMO was confirmed by the alteration in renal function parameters in the serum (urea and creatinine), as well as in the urine (creatinine clearance, total protein and albumin). These results were supported by histopathological examination. Upregulation of renal inflammatory parameters; tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP); and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 as well as in protein expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and cleaved caspase-3 were observed to a greater extent in the TAMO-treated rats compared with the control. Renal fibrosis was also evidenced by a elevation in renal L-hydroxyproline level as well as by histomorphological collagen deposition in TAMO-treated groups compared to the control group. Administration of COB and/or CAL concurrently with TAMO significantly ameliorated the deviation in the above-studied parameters and improved the histopathological renal picture. SIGNIFICANCE Inhibition of NF-κβ-mediated inflammation and caspase-3-induced apoptosis are possible renoprotective mechanisms of COB and/or CAL against TAMO nephrotoxicity, which was more noticeable in the TAMO group treated with the combination of the two vitamins in question.

Abstract
Plant-derived phenolics are utilized as chemopreventive agents to abate adverse toxic responses associated with drug-induced damages. Tamoxifen (TAM)-a chemotherapeutic agent-is used in managing all stages of hormone-dependent breast cancer. Notwithstanding TAM's clinical side effect-including hepatic toxicity-its use is commonplace. The present study investigates the effect of Chlorogenic acid (CGA: 25 and 50 mg kg-1; per os (p.o)) reported to exhibit various beneficial properties, including antioxidative effect against TAM (50 mg/kg; p.o.)-induced hepatorenal toxicities in rats treated as follows: Control, CGA, or TAM alone, and rats co-treated with CGA and TAM for 2 weeks. Biomarkers of hepatorenal function, oxido-inflammatory stress, and hepatorenal histopathology were performed. We observed that TAM alone decreased relative organ weights (ROW), marginally impacted rat's survivability, and significantly (P < 0.05) increased hepatorenal toxicities and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). TAM decreased (P < 0.05) antioxidant, anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10), besides increase in (P < 0.05) lipid peroxidation (LPO), pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO), xanthine oxidase (XO), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and apoptotic caspases (Casp-3 and -9) levels. These biochemical alterations were accompanied by morphological lesions in experimental rats' liver and kidney. Conversely, that CGA dose-dependently relieved TAM-mediated toxic responses, restored antioxidants capacities, reduced oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokines levels, and Casp-3 and -9 activities in experimental rats. Furthermore, CGA protected against lesions observed in the liver and kidney of rats treated with TAM alone. Overall, CGA blocked TAM-mediated hepatorenal injuries associated with pro-oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic mechanisms. CGA may serve as a chemoprotective agent boosting patients prognosis undergoing TAM chemotherapy.

Effects of the Novel PFKFB3 Inhibitor KAN0438757 on Colorectal Cancer Cells and Its Systemic Toxicity Evaluation In Vivo. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:1011.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite substantial progress made in the last decades in colorectal cancer (CRC) research, new treatment approaches are still needed to improve patients' long-term survival. To date, the promising strategy to target tumor angiogenesis metabolically together with a sensitization of CRC to chemo- and/or radiotherapy by PFKFB3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase-3) inhibition has never been tested. Therefore, initial evaluation and validation of newly developed compounds such as KAN0438757 and their effects on CRC cells are crucial steps preceding to in vivo preclinical studies, which in turn may consolidate new therapeutic targets. MATERIALS AND METHODS The efficiency of KAN0438757 to block PFKFB3 expression and translation in human CRC cells was evaluated by immunoblotting and real-time PCR. Functional in vitro assays assessed the effects of KAN0438757 on cell viability, proliferation, survival, adhesion, migration and invasion. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of KAN0438757 on matched patient-derived normal and tumor organoids and its systemic toxicity in vivo in C57BL6/N mice. RESULTS High PFKFB3 expression is correlated with a worse survival in CRC patients. KAN0438757 reduces PFKFB3 protein expression without affecting its transcriptional regulation. Additionally, a concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effect was observed. The migration and invasion capacity of cancer cells were significantly reduced, independent of the anti-proliferative effect. When treating colonic patient-derived organoids with KAN0438757 an impressive effect on tumor organoids growth was apparent, surprisingly sparing normal colonic organoids. No high-grade toxicity was observed in vivo. CONCLUSION The PFKFB3 inhibitor KAN0438757 significantly reduced CRC cell migration, invasion and survival. Moreover, on patient-derived cancer organoids KAN0438757 showed significant effects on growth, without being overly toxic in normal colon organoids and healthy mice. Our findings strongly encourage further translational studies to evaluate KAN0438757 in CRC therapy.

Abstract
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a chemotherapeutic drug, has adverse effects on heart and kidney functions. Ficus Carica (fig) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) are natural sources which have antioxidant effects. This study investigated the synergistic effects of fig extract and EVOO against cardiac and renal damage induced by 5-FU. Forty rats were equally divided into five groups and treated with physiological saline (control), five intravenous injections of 5-FU (40 mg/kg b.w) (5-FU), fig (1 g/kg b.w/day, orally) with 5-FU (Fig/5-FU), EVOO (7 g/kg b.w/day, orally) with 5-FU (EVOO/5-FU), combined treatment of fig and EVOO with five 5-FU injections (Fig/EVOO/5-FU). After 30 days, blood and tissue samples (Heart and kidney) were collected to be used in the examinations. 5-FU significantly increased serum creatine kinase activity, renal biomarkers, cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β as well as cardiac and renal lipid peroxides (malondialdehyde). Meanwhile, serum levels of immunoglobulins, interleukins (IL-10, IL-12), and antioxidants of heart and kidney tissues were significantly decreased in 5-FU group. It also downregulated cardiac and renal Bcl2, and upregulated cardiac troponin and renin gene expressions. As well, histological alterations clarified that 5-FU induced cardiac cell damage, distorted renal corpuscles and tubules, inflammatory cell infiltrations, and severe congestion and hemorrhage in the blood vessels. The treatment with fig and olive oil, especially the combined treatment, modulated the toxic effect of 5-FU on the heart and kidney. Our results revealed that fig extract and EVOO have a powerful antioxidant and many protective effects against cardiac and renal toxicity induced by 5-FU, especially when using fig and EVOO together as a combined treatment.

Abstract
Obese patients who often present metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are at risk of severe presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). These patients are more likely to be hospitalized and receive antiviral agents and other drugs required to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome and systemic inflammation, combat bacterial and fungal superinfections and reverse multi-organ failure. Among these pharmaceuticals, antiretrovirals such as lopinavir/ritonavir and remdesivir, antibiotics and antifungal agents can induce drug-induced liver injury (DILI), whose mechanisms are not always understood. In the present article, we hypothesize that obese COVID-19 patients with MAFLD might be at higher risk for DILI than non-infected healthy individuals or MAFLD patients. These patients present several concomitant factors, which individually can favour DILI: polypharmacy, systemic inflammation at risk of cytokine storm, fatty liver and sometimes nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) as well as insulin resistance and other diseases linked to obesity. Hence, in obese COVID-19 patients, some drugs might cause more severe (and/or more frequent) DILI, while others might trigger the transition of fatty liver to NASH, or worsen pre-existing steatosis, necroinflammation and fibrosis. We also present the main mechanisms whereby drugs can be more hepatotoxic in MAFLD including impaired activity of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes, mitochondrial dysfunction, altered lipid homeostasis and oxidative stress. Although comprehensive investigations are needed to confirm our hypothesis, we believe that the current epidemic of obesity and related metabolic diseases has extensively contributed to increase the number of cases of DILI in COVID-19 patients, which may have participated in presentation severity and death.

Hepatic Steatosis After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer: Incidence and Implications for Outcomes After Pancreatoduodenectomy. J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 24:2008-2014. [PMID: 32671796 PMCID: PMC7363010 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-020-04723-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2020] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the incidence of new onset hepatic steatosis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and its impact on outcomes after pancreatoduodenectomy. METHODS Retrospective review identified patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma and underwent pancreatoduodenectomy from 2013 to 2018. Preoperative computed tomography scans were evaluated for the development of hepatic steatosis after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Hypoattenuation included liver attenuation greater than or equal to 10 Hounsfield units less than tissue density of spleen on noncontrast computed tomography and greater than or equal to 20 Hounsfield units less on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. RESULTS One hundred forty-nine patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy for a median of 5 cycles (interquartile range (IQR), 4-6). FOLFIRINOX was the regimen in 78% of patients. Hepatic steatosis developed in 36 (24%) patients. The median time from neoadjuvant chemotherapy completion to pancreatoduodenectomy was 40 days (IQR, 29-51). Preoperative biliary stenting was performed in 126 (86%) patients. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy was delivered to 23 (15%) patients. Female gender, obesity, and prolonged exposure to chemotherapy were identified as risk factors for chemotherapy-associated hepatic steatosis. Compared with control patients without neoadjuvant chemotherapy-associated hepatic steatosis, patients developing steatosis had similar rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula (8% (control) vs. 4%, p = 0.3), delayed gastric emptying (8% vs. 14%, p = 0.4), and major morbidity (11% vs. 15%, p = 0.6). Ninety-day mortality was similar between groups (8% vs. 2%, p = 0.08). CONCLUSION Hepatic steatosis developed in 24% of patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy but was not associated with increased morbidity or mortality after pancreatoduodenectomy.
