Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol 2024:1-21. [PMID: 38980754 DOI: 10.1080/17425255.2024.2378885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Carboxylic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (CBA-NSAIDs) are extensively used worldwide due to their antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects. CBA-NSAIDs have reasonable margin of safety at therapeutic doses, and in the current climate, do not possess addiction potential like opioid drugs. Studies have revealed that various adverse events of CBA-NSAIDs are related mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. AREAS COVERED This review article summarizes adverse events induced by CBA-NSAIDs, mechanisms of mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, and metabolic interactions. Meanwhile, this review discusses the treatment and prevention of CBA-NSAIDs damage by natural plant extracts based on antioxidant effects. EXPERT OPINION CBA-NSAIDs can induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mediate DNA, protein and lipid damage, lead to imbalance of cell antioxidant status, change of mitochondrial membrane potential, activate oxidative stress signal pathway, thus leading to oxidative stress and cell damage. Adverse events caused by CBA-NSAIDs often exhibit dose and time dependence. In order to avoid adverse events caused by CBA-NSAIDs, it is necessary to provide detailed patient consultation and eliminate influencing factors. Moreover, constructive research studies on the organ-specific toxicity and mechanism of natural plant extracts in preventing and treating metabolic abnormalities of CBA-NSAIDs, will provide important value for warning and guidance for use of CBA-NSAIDs.

Chem Biol Interact 2024; 395:110997. [PMID: 38588969 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.110997] [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: 02/10/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
It is generally accepted that low vitamin D (VD) levels are associated with a high prevalence factor for Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD patients have observed higher levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), ALT, and AST than healthy people. Gut-derived LPS causes inflammatory injury in the liver and kidney. The VD-metabolizing mechanism is involved in the liver and kidney, which means IBD might impact VD metabolism. However, whether IBD affects VD metabolism has not been studied. In vitro LPS resulted in decreased CYP2R1 in liver cells as well as decreased CYP27B1 and increased CYP24A1 in kidney cells, revealing that LPS changed the activities of several hydroxylases. Mice with acute colitis had an increased LPS in serum and liver with mild hepatic injuries, while mice with chronic colitis had a significant elevation of LPS in serum, liver, and kidney with hepatorenal injuries. Thus, the liver hydroxylase for VD metabolism would be the first to be affected in IBD. Consequently, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D declined dramatically with a significant elevation of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and 1,24,25-trihydroxyvitamin D. Unchanged serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D might be the result of other factors in vivo. In acute colitis, a small dosage (4 IU/day) of cholecalciferol could protect the colon, decrease the serum level of LPS, and finally increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. However, this improvement of cholecalciferol was fading in chronic colitis. These results suggested that VD supplementations for preventing and curing IBD in the clinic should consider hepatorenal hydroxylases and be employed as soon as possible for a better outcome.

Abstract
In this study, a porous sponge material was formed by physically mixing chitosan (CS) and Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP). After removing the water by freeze-drying, the CS/ASP sponge was obtained. The prepared sponges exhibited excellent swelling properties, thermal stability and biocompatibility as well as improvements over the insufficient mechanical properties of pure chitosan sponges. Notably, the ASP released from the CS/ASP sponge could be effectively absorbed by the liver, which endowed the CS/ASP sponge with effective liver-protective effects against CCl4-induced acute liver injury; these protective effects surpassed those of both blank CS and CS/Dextran sponges. The underlying protective mechanism may involve the activation of the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant signaling pathway and the inhibition of hepatocyte apoptosis. Understanding CS/ASP sponges may provide new insights and inspire new methods for the clinical application of ASP. At the same time, we hope to suggest future directions for the development of polysaccharide preparations.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the serious complications of diabetes mellitus, primarily arising from type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD). The pathogenesis of DN involves various factors such as hemodynamic changes, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and lipid metabolism disorders. Increasing attention is being given to DN caused by oxidative stress in the mitochondrial pathway, prompting researchers to explore drugs that can regulate these target pathways. Chinese herbal medicine, known for its accessibility, rich historical usage, and remarkable efficacy, has shown promise in ameliorating renal injury caused by DN by modulating oxidative stress in the mitochondrial pathway. This review aims to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of DN. Firstly, we outline the mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction impairs DN, focusing on outlining the damage to mitochondria by oxidative stress. Subsequently, we describe the process by which formulas, herbs and monomeric compounds protect the kidney by ameliorating oxidative stress in the mitochondrial pathway. Finally, the rich variety of Chinese herbal medicine, combined with modern extraction techniques, has great potential, and as we gradually understand the pathogenesis of DN and research techniques are constantly updated, there will be more and more promising therapeutic targets and herbal drug candidates. This paper aims to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of DN.

Abstract
Abuse with hepatotoxic agents is a major cause of acute liver failure. The search for new criteria indicating the acute or chronic pathological processes is still a challenging issue that requires the selection of effective tools and research models. Multiphoton microscopy with second harmonic generation (SHG) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) are modern label-free methods of optical biomedical imaging for assessing the metabolic state of hepatocytes, therefore reflecting the functional state of the liver tissue. The aim of this work was to identify characteristic changes in the metabolic state of hepatocytes in precision-cut liver slices (PCLSs) under toxic damage by some of the most common toxins: ethanol, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and acetaminophen (APAP), commonly known as paracetamol. We have determined characteristic optical criteria for toxic liver damage, and these turn out to be specific for each toxic agent, reflecting the underlying pathological mechanisms of toxicity. The results obtained are consistent with standard methods of molecular and morphological analysis. Thus, our approach, based on optical biomedical imaging, is effective for intravital monitoring of the state of liver tissue in the case of toxic damage or even in cases of acute liver injury.

Profile of 5-HT 2A receptor involved in signaling cascades associated to intracellular inflammation and apoptosis in hepatocytes and its role in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity. Cell Signal 2023; 105:110612. [PMID: 36709823 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Previously, we found that the 5-HT2A receptor plays a key role in cell injury. However, the mechanism by which the 5-HT2A receptor mediates intracellular processes remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to clarify this intracellular process in hepatocyte LO2 cells and evaluate its role in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. In vitro, both the agonist and overexpression of 5-HT2A receptor could promote 5-HT degradation by upregulating the expression of 5-HT synthases and monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) to cause overproduction of ROS in mitochondria. We refer to this as the activation of the 5-HT degradation system (5DS) axis, which leads to the phosphorylation of JNK, p38 MAPK, STAT3, and NF-κB; upregulation of Bax, cleaved-caspase3, and cleaved-caspase9; and downregulation of Bcl-2, followed by apoptosis and oversecretion of TNF-α and IL-1β in cells. This phenomenon could be markedly blocked by the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, MAO-A inhibitor, or gene-silencing MAO-A. Through protein kinases C epsilon (PKCε) agonist treatment and gene silencing of the PKCε and 5-HT2A receptor, we demonstrated that the 5-HT2A receptor controls 5-HT synthases and MAO-A expression via the PKCε pathway in cells. Unexpectedly, we discovered that PKCε-mediated phosphorylation of the AKT/mTOR pathway is also a consequence of the activation of the 5DS axis. Furthermore, we confirmed that the inhibition of the 5DS axis using the 5-HT2A receptor antagonist could prevent hepatotoxicity induced by CCl4 both in vitro and in vivo, inhibiting the aforementioned signaling cascades, inflammation, and apoptosis, and that the 5DS activation area overlapped the necrotic area of mouse liver. Taken together, we revealed a 5DS axis in hepatocytes that controls the signaling cascades associated with inflammation and apoptosis and confirmed its role in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of naltrexone on the expression of lipid metabolism-related proteins in liver steatosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress in mice. Thirty inbred mice (C57BL/6J) were divided into three groups: group A (normal control group), group B (model control), and group C (naltrexone group). The male mice in group A were fed a regular diet, and the mice in groups B and C were fed a high-fat diet. Liver steatosis was observed by histopathological sections. Mouse liver (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and triglyceride (TC)) content (glucose regulatory protein (GRP78), endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein kinase-1α (IRE-1α), C/EBP source protein (CHOP), cysteine-containing aspartate proteolytic enzyme 12 (caspase-12), B lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and cell death mediator (Bim)) was detected. Compared with group A, bodyweight, fat weight, ALT, TG, and hepatic steatosis were significantly increased in B and C groups (P < 0.05); compared with group B, group C showed a significant decrease in bodyweight, fat weight, ALT, TG, and hepatic steatosis (P < 0.05). Compared with group A, the expression levels of GRP78, IRE-1α, CHOP, caspase-12, and Bim in liver tissue of groups B and C mice were increased. Bcl-2 decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with group B and group C after naltrexone intervention, the expression levels of GRP78, IRE-1α, CHOP, caspase-12, and Bim decreased significantly, and Bcl-2 increased significantly (P < 0.05). Naltrexone can effectively reduce bodyweight and adipose tissue accumulation, reduce liver fat lesions, improve the expression of lipid metabolism-related proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stress, reduce liver lipid synthesis, and protect liver cells.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to investigate the effect of switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) on the hepatic safety and metabolic profile. Methods Consecutive HIV patients, enrolled in the Surveillance Cohort Long-term Toxicity Antiretrovirals/Antivirals (SCOLTA) project, switching from TDF to TAF were included. Changes from baseline (T0) to 6-month follow-up (T1) were evaluated using paired t-test and signed rank test. Results A total of 190 patients switched from TDF to TAF and had one 6-month follow-up visit. They were 80% male, 74.2% at CDC stage A–B, 93.7% with undetectable HIV-viral load. Mean age was 46.7±10.7 years, body mass index was 25.0±3.9 kg/m2, median CD4 cell count was 634 cell/µL (interquartile range [IQR]=439–900), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was 23 (IQR=19–30) IU/L, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 24 (IQR=17–34) IU/L. At T1, both AST (median=−1, IQR=−5–2 IU/L, P=0.004) and ALT (median=−2, IQR=−7–3 IU/L, P=0.0004) showed a significant decrease. Among 28 patients with ALT >40 at baseline, reduction was significant both clinically (−17, IQR=−32–−1) and statistically (P=0.0003). Total cholesterol levels (TC) increased (+13.4±3.8 mg/dL, P=0.0006), as well as HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) (+3.8±1.2 mg/dL, P=0.02), LDL Cholesterol (LDL-C) (+7.6±3.4, P=0.03) and glucose (+4.0±1.8 mg/dL, P=0.02). D:A:D: and Framingham risk score did not change at 6 months after switch. Conclusion A significant reduction of liver enzymes was observed after switching from TDF to TAF, especially in subjects with initial level of ALT >40 IU/L. Glucose, TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C increased, with no effect on cardiovascular risk scores.
