Sernoskie SC, Bonneil É, Thibault P, Jee A, Uetrecht J. Involvement of Extracellular Vesicles in the Proinflammatory Response to Clozapine: Implications for Clozapine-Induced Agranulocytosis. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 388:827-845. [PMID: 38262745 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.123.001970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Most idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) appear to be immune-mediated, but mechanistic events preceding severe reaction onset remain poorly defined. Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) may contribute to both innate and adaptive immune phases of IDRs, and changes in extracellular vesicle (EV) cargo have been detected post-exposure to several IDR-associated drugs. To explore the hypothesis that EVs are also a source of DAMPs in the induction of the immune response preceding drug-induced agranulocytosis, the proteome and immunogenicity of clozapine- (agranulocytosis-associated drug) and olanzapine- (non-agranulocytosis-associated drug) exposed EVs were compared in two preclinical models: THP-1 macrophages and Sprague-Dawley rats. Compared with olanzapine, clozapine induced a greater increase in the concentration of EVs enriched from both cell culture media and rat serum. Moreover, treatment of drug-naïve THP-1 cells with clozapine-exposed EVs induced an inflammasome-dependent response, supporting a potential role for EVs in immune activation. Proteomic and bioinformatic analyses demonstrated an increased number of differentially expressed proteins with clozapine that were enriched in pathways related to inflammation, myeloid cell chemotaxis, wounding, transforming growth factor-β signaling, and negative regulation of stimuli response. These data indicate that, although clozapine and olanzapine exposure both alter the protein cargo of EVs, clozapine-exposed EVs carry mediators that exhibit significantly greater immunogenicity. Ultimately, this supports the working hypothesis that drugs associated with a risk of IDRs induce cell stress, release of proinflammatory mediators, and early immune activation that precedes severe reaction onset. Further studies characterizing EVs may elucidate biomarkers that predict IDR risk during development of drug candidates. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This work demonstrates that clozapine, an idiosyncratic drug-induced agranulocytosis (IDIAG)-associated drug, but not olanzapine, a safer structural analogue, induces an acute proinflammatory response and increases extracellular vesicle (EV) release in two preclinical models. Moreover, clozapine-exposed EVs are more immunogenic, as measured by their ability to activate inflammasomes, and contain more differentially expressed proteins, highlighting a novel role for EVs during the early immune response to clozapine and enhancing our mechanistic understanding of IDIAG and other idiosyncratic reactions.

Abstract
Anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug abacavir (ABC) binds to the specific allele of human leukocyte antigen (HLA-B*57:01) and activates CD8+ T cells by presenting altered abnormal peptides. Here, we examined the effect of ABC-induced altered self-presentation by HLA-B*57:01 on immunogenicity of cancer cells and CD8+ T-cell-dependent anti-tumor immunity. We established human-mouse chimeric HLA-B*57:01-expressing tumor cell lines (B16F10 and 3LL) and tested the anti-tumor effect of ABC in vivo. ABC treatment inhibited the growth of HLA-B*57:01-expressing tumors by a CD8+ T-cell-dependent mechanism. ABC treatment induced CXCR3-dependent infiltration of CD8+ T cells into HLA-B*57:01-expressing tumors, and activated those tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells to proliferate and secrete IFN-γ. The activation of CD8+ T cells using drug-induced altered self-presentation may be a new strategy to increase tumor immunogenicity and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Abstract
Drug hypersensitivity reactions induced by small molecule drugs encompass a broad spectrum of adverse drug reactions with heterogeneous clinical presentations and mechanisms. These reactions are classified into allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions and non-allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. At present, the hapten theory, pharmacological interaction with immune receptors (p-i) concept, altered peptide repertoire model, and altered T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire model have been proposed to explain how small molecule drugs or their metabolites induce allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. Meanwhile, direct activation of mast cells, provoking the complement system, stimulating or inhibiting inflammatory reaction-related enzymes, accumulating bradykinin, and/or triggering vascular hyperpermeability are considered as the main factors causing non-allergic drug hypersensitivity reactions. To date, many investigations have been performed to explore the underlying mechanisms involved in drug hypersensitivity reactions and to search for predictive and preventive methods in both clinical and non-clinical trials. However, validated methods for predicting and diagnosing hypersensitivity reactions to small molecule drugs and deeper insight into the relevant underlying mechanisms are still limited.

Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular membrane-encapsulated vesicles that are released into the extracellular space or biological fluids by many cell types through exocytosis. As a newly identified form of intercellular signal communication, exosomes mediate various pathological and physiological processes by exchanging various active substances between cells. The incidence and mortality of liver diseases is increasing worldwide. Therefore, we reviewed recent studies evaluating the role of exosomes from various sources in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although clozapine-induced granulocytopenia (CIG) is less severe than clozapine-induced agranulocytosis (CIA), and some patients with CIG may not go on to develop serious complications, clozapine is discontinued in cases of both CIA and CIG. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of CIA/CIG could provide better management of clozapine therapy. Recently, as a mechanistic insight into adaptive immune systems, European groups reported clozapine-specific proliferative responses and clozapine-specific T cells using blood taken from patients with CIA and/or CIG. AIMS The aims of our study are to support this mechanistic evidence and to investigate the difference in the lymphocyte response to clozapine between patients with CIG and those with CIA. METHODS Lymphocyte stimulation tests (LSTs) were conducted using CD25-positive cell-depleted peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from blood of four Japanese patients with CIA, four patients with CIG, and nine clozapine-tolerant subjects. RESULTS Three of four patients with CIA and one of four patients with CIG showed proliferative responses to clozapine with a stimulation index of greater than 2. In contrast, none of the nine clozapine-tolerant subjects showed any response to clozapine. Olanzapine did not stimulate PBMCs of patients with CIA, patients with CIG, or clozapine-tolerant subjects. CONCLUSIONS Clozapine- and CIA-specific lymphocyte reactions in a Japanese population provided supportive evidence that the pathogenesis of CIA is based on adaptive immune reactions. In addition, patients with CIG who show a positive response to an LST may at the very least not be chosen for clozapine-rechallenge and further prospective studies are desirable to verify this hypothesis.

Abstract
The exact efficacy of cyclosporine in the treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) still needs evidence from more clinical data. This study was designed to compare the effectiveness and side-effects of combined use of cyclosporine in the treatment TEN with glucocorticoids (GC)/i.v. immunoglobulin G (IVIG). A total of 46 patients with SJS/TEN were enrolled and classified into two groups based on the therapeutic drugs used. Clinical characteristics, interventions, outcomes, and disease progressions were collected and compared between the two groups. In our cohort, seven patients eventually died and the overall fatality rate was 15.2%, but there was no difference between the two groups (p = 0.557). On discharge, the median SCORe of Toxic Epidermal Necrosis (SCORTEN) fell from 2.0 at admission to 1.0 and the median body surface area detached fell from 32.0% at admission to 9.5%. Patients in the cyclosporine group had a higher rate of re-epithelialized area than patients in the non-cyclosporine group (p < 0.05). Cyclosporine significantly reduced the length of stay (19.0 vs. 13.0 days, p = 0.019) and the rate of systemic infection (71.4% vs. 36.0%, p = 0.017) compared with the non-cyclosporine group. SCORTEN was the only significant risk factor for death and the risk ratio was 1.96 (1.17-3.31, p = 0.011). Conclusively, the combined use of cyclosporine could reduce the occurrence of systemic infection and accelerate the re-epithelialization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a severe, delayed hypersensitivity reaction (DHR). We observed DRESS to inhibitors of interleukin 1 (IL-1) or IL-6 in a small group of patients with Still's disease with atypical lung disease. We sought to characterise features of patients with Still's disease with DRESS compared with drug-tolerant Still's controls. We analysed human leucocyte antigen (HLA) alleles for association to inhibitor-related DHR, including in a small Kawasaki disease (KD) cohort. METHODS In a case/control study, we collected a multicentre series of patients with Still's disease with features of inhibitor-related DRESS (n=66) and drug-tolerant Still's controls (n=65). We retrospectively analysed clinical data from all Still's subjects and typed 94/131 for HLA. European Still's-DRESS cases were ancestry matched to International Childhood Arthritis Genetics Consortium paediatric Still's cases (n=550) and compared for HLA allele frequencies. HLA association also was analysed using Still's-DRESS cases (n=64) compared with drug-tolerant Still's controls (n=30). KD subjects (n=19) were similarly studied. RESULTS Still's-DRESS features included eosinophilia (89%), AST-ALT elevation (75%) and non-evanescent rash (95%; 88% involving face). Macrophage activation syndrome during treatment was frequent in Still's-DRESS (64%) versus drug-tolerant Still's (3%; p=1.2×10-14). We found striking enrichment for HLA-DRB1*15 haplotypes in Still's-DRESS cases versus INCHARGE Still's controls (p=7.5×10-13) and versus self-identified, ancestry-matched Still's controls (p=6.3×10-10). In the KD cohort, DRB1*15:01 was present only in those with suspected anakinra reactions. CONCLUSIONS DRESS-type reactions occur among patients treated with IL-1/IL-6 inhibitors and strongly associate with common HLA-DRB1*15 haplotypes. Consideration of preprescription HLA typing and vigilance for serious reactions to these drugs are warranted.

Abstract
Bortezomib (Btz) shows robust efficacy in patients with multiple myeloma (MM); however, some patients experience suboptimal responses and show specific toxicities. Therefore, we attempted to identify specific HLA alleles associated with Btz-related toxicities and response to treatment. Eighty-two transplant-ineligible patients with newly diagnosed MM enrolled in a phase II study (JCOG1105) comparing two less intensive melphalan, prednisolone, plus Btz (MPB) regimens were subjected to HLA typing. The frequency of each allele was compared between the groups, categorized based on toxicity grades and responses to MPB therapy. Among 82 patients, the numbers of patients with severe peripheral neuropathy (PN; grade 2 or higher), skin disorders (SD; grade 2 or higher), and pneumonitis were 16 (19.5%), 15 (18.3%), and 6 (7.3%), respectively. Complete response was achieved in 10 (12.2%) patients. Although no significant HLA allele was identified by multiple comparisons, several candidates were identified. HLA-B*40:06 was more prevalent in patients with severe PN than in those with less severe PN (odds ratio [OR] = 6.76). HLA-B*40:06 and HLA-DRB1*12:01 were more prevalent in patients with SD than in those with less severe SD (OR = 7.47 and OR = 5.55, respectively). HLA-DRB1*08:02 clustered in the group of patients with pneumonitis (OR = 11.34). Complete response was achieved in patients carrying HLA-DQB1*03:02, HLA-DQB1*05:01, and HLA-DRB1*01:01 class II alleles. HLA genotyping could help predict Btz-induced toxicity and treatment efficacy in patients with MM, although this needs further validation.

Regulation of the immune tolerance system determines the susceptibility to HLA-mediated abacavir-induced skin toxicity. Commun Biol 2021; 4:1137.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug toxicity (IDT) associated with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allotype is a rare and unpredictable life-threatening adverse drug reaction for which prospective mechanistic studies in humans are difficult. Here, we show the importance of immune tolerance for IDT onset and determine whether it is susceptible to a common IDT, HLA-B*57:01-mediated abacavir (ABC)-induced hypersensitivity (AHS), using CD4+ T cell-depleted programmed death-1 receptor (PD-1)-deficient HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice (B*57:01-Tg/PD-1−/−). Although AHS is not observed in B*57:01-Tg mice, ABC treatment increases the proportion of cytokine- and cytolytic granule-secreting effector memory CD8+ T cells in CD4+ T cell-depleted B*57:01-Tg/PD-1−/− mice, thereby inducing skin toxicity with CD8+ T cell infiltration, mimicking AHS. Our results demonstrate that individual differences in the immune tolerance system, including PD-1highCD8+ T cells and regulatory CD4+ T cells, may affect the susceptibility of humans to HLA-mediated IDT in humans. Using a transgenic mouse model that recapitulates abacavir hypersensitivity syndrome, an idiosyncratic adverse drug reaction, Susukida et al show that individual differences in the immune tolerance system affect the susceptibility to idiosyncratic drug toxicity.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug reactions (IDRs) range from relatively common, mild reactions to rarer, potentially life-threatening adverse effects that pose significant risks to both human health and successful drug discovery. Most frequently, IDRs target the liver, skin, and blood or bone marrow. Clinical data indicate that most IDRs are mediated by an adaptive immune response against drug-modified proteins, formed when chemically reactive species of a drug bind to self-proteins, making them appear foreign to the immune system. Although much emphasis has been placed on characterizing the clinical presentation of IDRs and noting implicated drugs, limited research has focused on the mechanisms preceding the manifestations of these severe responses. Therefore, we propose that to address the knowledge gap between drug administration and onset of a severe IDR, more research is required to understand IDR-initiating mechanisms; namely, the role of the innate immune response. In this review, we outline the immune processes involved from neoantigen formation to the result of the formation of the immunologic synapse and suggest that this framework be applied to IDR research. Using four drugs associated with severe IDRs as examples (amoxicillin, amodiaquine, clozapine, and nevirapine), we also summarize clinical and animal model data that are supportive of an early innate immune response. Finally, we discuss how understanding the early steps in innate immune activation in the development of an adaptive IDR will be fundamental in risk assessment during drug development. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Although there is some understanding that certain adaptive immune mechanisms are involved in the development of idiosyncratic drug reactions, the early phase of these immune responses remains largely uncharacterized. The presented framework refocuses the investigation of IDR pathogenesis from severe clinical manifestations to the initiating innate immune mechanisms that, in contrast, may be quite mild or clinically silent. A comprehensive understanding of these early influences on IDR onset is crucial for accurate risk prediction, IDR prevention, and therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug reactions are unpredictable adverse reactions. Although most such adverse reactions appear to be immune mediated, their exact mechanism(s) remain elusive. The idiosyncratic drug reaction most associated with serious consequences is idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI). We have developed a mouse model of amodiaquine (AQ)-induced liver injury that reflects the clinical characteristics of IDILI in humans. This was accomplished by impairing immune tolerance by using PD-1-/- mice and an antibody against CTLA-4. PD-1 and CTLA-4 are known negative regulators of lymphocyte activation, which promote immune tolerance. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become important tools for the treatment of cancer. However, as in our model, immune checkpoint inhibitors increase the risk of IDILI with drugs that have an incidence of causing liver injury. Agents such as 1-methyl-d-tryptophan (D-1-MT), an inhibitor of the immunosuppressive indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) enzyme, have also been proposed as anti-cancer treatments. Another possible risk factor for the induction of an immune response is the release of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Acetaminophen (APAP) is known to cause acute liver injury, and it is likely to cause the release of DAMPs. Therefore, either of these agents could increase the risk of IDILI, although through different mechanisms. If true, then this would have clinical implications. We found that co-treatment with D-1-MT paradoxically decreased liver injury in our model, and although APAP appeared to slightly increase AQ-induced liver injury, the difference was not significant. Such results highlight the complexity of the immune response, which makes potential interactions difficult to predict.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is an infrequent but potentially serious disease that develops the main reason for post-marketing safety warnings and withdrawals of drugs. Epimedii Folium (EF), the widely used herbal medicine, has shown to cause idiosyncratic liver injury, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Increasing evidence has indicated that most cases of IDILI are immune mediated. Here, we report that icariside Ⅱ (ICS Ⅱ), the major active and metabolic constituent of EF, causes idiosyncratic liver injury by promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. ICS Ⅱ exacerbates NLRP3 inflammasome activation triggered by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nigericin, but not silicon dioxide (SiO2), monosodium urate (MSU) crystal or cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Additionally, the activation of NLRC4 and AIM2 inflammasomes is not affected by ICS Ⅱ. Mechanistically, synergistic induction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) is a crucial contributor to the enhancing effect of ICS Ⅱ on ATP- or nigericin-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Importantly, in vivo data show that a combination of non-hepatotoxic doses of LPS and ICS Ⅱ causes the increase of aminotransferase activity, hepatic inflammation and pyroptosis, which is attenuated by Nlrp3 deficiency or pretreatment with MCC950 (a specific NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor). In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that ICS Ⅱ causes idiosyncratic liver injury through enhancing NLRP3 inflammasome activation and suggest that ICS Ⅱ may be a risk factor and responsible for EF-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Various types of transgenic mice carrying either class I or II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules are readily available, and reports describing their use in a variety of studies have been published for more than 30 years. Examples of their use include the discovery of HLA-specific antigens against viral infection as well as the reproduction of HLA-mediated autoimmune diseases for the development of therapeutic strategies. Recently, HLA transgenic mice have been used to reproduce HLA-mediated idiosyncratic drug toxicity (IDT), a rare and unpredictable adverse drug reaction that can result in death. For example, abacavir-induced IDT has successfully been reproduced in HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice. Several reports using HLA transgenic mice for IDT have proven the utility of this concept for the evaluation of IDT using various HLA allele combinations and drugs. It has become apparent that such models may be a valuable tool to investigate the mechanisms underlying HLA-mediated IDT. This review summarizes the latest findings in the area of HLA transgenic mouse models and discusses the current challenges that must be overcome to maximize the potential of this unique animal model.

Abstract
Most idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury appears to result from an adaptive immune attack on the liver. Recent evidence suggests that the T-cell response may be facilitated by the loss of immune tolerance. In this study, we explored the hypothesis that constitutively released hepatocyte-derived exosomes (HDE) are important for maintaining normal liver immune tolerance. Exosomes were isolated from the conditioned medium of primary human hepatocytes via polymer precipitation. Mock controls were prepared by processing fresh medium that was not hepatocyte exposed with precipitation reagent. THP-1 monocytes were then treated with HDE or an equivalent volume of mock control for 24 h, followed by a 6-h stimulation with LPS. HDE exposure resulted in a significant decrease in the LPS-induced media levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-8. Gene expression profiling performed in THP-1 cells just prior to LPS-induced stimulation identified a significant decrease among genes associated with innate immune response. MicroRNA (miRNA) profiling was performed on the HDE to identify exosome contents that may drive immune suppression. Many of the predicted mRNA target genes for the most abundant microRNAs in HDE were among the differentially expressed genes in THP-1 cells. Taken together, our data suggest that HDE play a role in maintaining normal liver immune tolerance. Future experiments will explore the possibility that drugs causing idiosyncratic liver injury promote the loss of homeostatic HDE signaling.

Abstract
Preventing clinical drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains a major challenge, because DILI develops via multifactorial mechanisms. Immune and inflammatory reactions are considered important mechanisms of DILI; however, biomarkers from in vitro systems using immune cells have not been comprehensively studied. The aims of this study were (1) to identify promising biomarker genes for predicting DILI in an in vitro coculture model of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with a human liver cell line, and (2) to evaluate these genes as predictors of DILI using a panel of drugs with different clinical DILI risk. Transcriptome-wide analysis of PBMCs cocultured with HepG2 or differentiated HepaRG cells that were treated with several drugs revealed an appropriate separation of DILI-positive and DILI-negative drugs, from which 12 putative biomarker genes were selected. To evaluate the predictive performance of these genes, PBMCs cocultured with HepG2 cells were exposed to 77 different drugs, and gene expression levels in PBMCs were determined. The MET proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase (MET) showed the highest area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.81 among the 12 genes with a high sensitivity/specificity (85/66%). However, a stepwise logistic regression model using the 12 identified genes showed the highest AUC value of 0.94 with a high sensitivity/specificity (93/86%). Taken together, we established a coculture system using PBMCs and HepG2 cells and selected biomarkers that can predict DILI risk. The established model would be useful in detecting the DILI potential of compounds, in particular those that involve an immune mechanism.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (IADRs) encompass a diverse group of toxicities that can vary by drug and patient. The complex and unpredictable nature of IADRs combined with the fact that they are rare makes them particularly difficult to predict, diagnose, and treat. Common clinical characteristics, the identification of human leukocyte antigen risk alleles, and drug-induced proliferation of lymphocytes isolated from patients support a role for the adaptive immune system in the pathogenesis of IADRs. Significant evidence also suggests a requirement for direct, drug-induced stress, neoantigen formation, and stimulation of an innate response, which can be influenced by properties intrinsic to both the drug and the patient. This Perspective will provide an overview of the clinical profile, mechanisms, and risk factors underlying IADRs as well as new approaches to study these reactions, focusing on idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury.

Abstract
Nonclinical toxicology studies are conducted to characterize the potential toxicities and establish a safe starting dose for new drugs in clinical studies, but the question remains as to how predictable/translatable the nonclinical safety findings are to humans. In many cases, there is good concordance between nonclinical species and patients. However, there are cases for which there is a lack of predictivity or translatability that led to early termination of clinical studies due to unanticipated toxicities or early termination of programs before making it to the clinic due to unacceptable nonclinical toxicities assumed to be translatable. A few case examples of safety findings that are translatable versus safety findings that are not translatable and why they are not translateable were presented as a symposium at the 38th Annual Meeting of the American College of Toxicology in Palm Springs, California, and are discussed in this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular-pattern protein. Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are serious, immune-mediated skin-blistering conditions. OBJECTIVES To determine serum and/or blister-fluid total HMGB1 levels in SJS/TEN cohorts, and HMGB1 expression in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) SJS/TEN skin vs. healthy and maculopapular exanthema (MPE) skin. Methods Serum HMGB1 was quantified in Malawian nevirapine-induced hypersensitivity, Taiwanese SJS/TEN and Spanish SJS/TEN cohorts. FFPE skin (healthy skin, MPE, SJS/TEN) was stained and assessed for HMGB1 expression. RESULTS Serum total HMGB1 was not significantly elevated in patients with nevirapine-induced SJS/TEN (3·98 ± 2·17 ng mL-1 ), MPE (3·92 ± 2·75 ng mL-1 ) or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (4·73 ± 3·00 ng mL-1 ) vs. tolerant controls (2·97 ± 3·00 ng mL-1 ). HMGB1 was significantly elevated in Taiwanese patients with SJS/TEN, highest during the acute phase (32·6 ± 26·6 ng mL-1 ) vs. the maximal (19·7 ± 23·2 ng mL-1 ; P = 0·007) and recovery (24·6 ± 25·3 ng mL-1 ; P = 0·027) phases. In blister fluid from Spanish patients with SJS/TEN, HMGB1 (486·8 ± 687·9 ng mL-1 ) was significantly higher than in serum (8·8 ± 7·6 ng mL-1 ; P <0·001). Preblistered SJS/TEN skin showed decreased epidermal nuclear HMGB1 expression in upper epidermis vs. healthy or MPE skin but retained basal/suprabasal expression. CONCLUSIONS Epidermal HMGB1 expression was decreased in SJS/TEN skin. Retained basal/suprabasal epidermal HMGB1 expression may exacerbate localized injury in SJS/TEN.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies indicate that several idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions are highly associated with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. For instance, abacavir, a human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase inhibitor, induces multiorgan toxicity exclusively in patients carrying the HLA-B*57:01 allele. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear due to a lack of appropriate animal models. Previously, we developed HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice and found that topical application of abacavir to the ears induced proliferation of CD8+ lymphocytes in local lymph nodes. Here, we attempted to reproduce abacavir-induced liver injury in these mice. However, oral administration of abacavir alone to HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice did not increase levels of the liver injury marker alanine aminotransferase. Considering the importance of innate immune activation in mouse liver, we treated mice with CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, a toll-like receptor 9 agonist, plus abacavir. This resulted in a marked increase in alanine aminotransferase, pathological changes in liver, increased numbers of activated CD8+ T cells, and tissue infiltration by immune cells exclusively in HLA-B*57:01 transgenic mice. These results indicate that CpG oligodeoxynucleotide-induced inflammatory reactions and/or innate immune activation are necessary for abacavir-induced HLA-mediated liver injury characterized by infiltration of CD8+ T cells. Thus, we developed the first mouse model of HLA-mediated abacavir-induced idiosyncratic liver injury. Further investigation will show that the proposed HLA-mediated liver injury model can be applied to other combinations of drugs and HLA types, thereby improving drug development and contributing to the development of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is thought to often result from an adaptive immune attack on the liver. However, it has been proposed that the cascade of events culminating in an adaptive immune response begins with drug-induced hepatocyte stress, release of exosomal danger signals, and innate immune activation, all of which may occur in the absence of significant hepatocelluar death. A micropatterned coculture model (HepatoPac) was used to explore the possibility that changes in exosome content precede overt necrosis in response to the IDILI drug tolvaptan. Hepatocytes from 3 human donors were exposed to a range of tolvaptan concentrations bracketing plasma Cmax or DMSO control continuously for 4, 24, or 72 h. Although alanine aminotransferase release was not significantly affected at any concentration, tolvaptan exposures at approximately 30-fold median plasma Cmax resulted in increased release of exosomal microRNA-122 (miR-122) into the medium. Cellular imaging and microarray analysis revealed that the most significant increases in exosomal miR-122 were associated with programmed cell death and small increases in membrane permeability. However, early increases in exosome miR-122 were more associated with mitochondrial-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress. Taken together, these data suggest that tolvaptan treatment induces cellular stress and exosome release of miR-122 in primary human hepatocytes in the absence of overt necrosis, providing direct demonstration of this with a drug capable of causing IDILI. In susceptible individuals, these early events may occur at pharmacologic concentrations of tolvaptan and may promote an adaptive immune attack that ultimately results in clinically significant liver injury.

Association between infection and severe drug adverse reactions: an analysis using data from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 73:1643-1653.

Abstract
PURPOSE It has been reported recently that immune reactions are involved in the pathogenesis of certain types of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). We aimed to determine the associations between infections and drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DILD), rhabdomyolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), or drug-induced liver injury (DILI) using a spontaneous adverse drug event reporting database in Japan. METHODS The reported cases were classified into three categories (anti-infectious drug group, concomitant infection group, and non-infection group) based on the presence of anti-infectious drugs (either as primary suspected drug or concomitant drug) and infectious disease. We assessed the association between four severe ADRs and the presence and seriousness of infection using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We identified 177,649 cases reported in the study period (2009-2013). Logistic regression analysis showed significant positive associations between infection status and onset of SJS/TEN or DILI (SJS/TEN: anti-infectious drug group: odds ratio (OR) 2.04, 95% CI [1.85-2.24], concomitant infection group: OR 2.44, 95% CI [2.21-2.69], DILI: anti-infectious drug group: OR 1.27, 95% CI [1.09-1.49], concomitant infection group: OR 1.25, 95% CI [1.04-1.49]), compared to the non-infection group. By contrast, there were negative or no associations between infection and DILD or rhabdomyolysis. A significantly positive association between infection and SJS/TEN seriousness (OR 1.48, 95% CI [1.10-1.98]) was observed. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that infection plays an important role in the development of SJS/TEN and DILI. For the patients with infection and/ or anti-infectious drugs, careful monitoring for severe ADRs, especially SJS/TEN, might be needed.

Abstract
A 71-year-old female with no history of liver disease or antibiotic allergy developed jaundice with elevated liver enzymes and eosinophilia following treatment with nafcillin for septic arthritis. Further workup demonstrated hepatocellular dysfunction and liver biopsy showed expansion of portal tracts by lymphocytes and eosinophils consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction. Nafcillin and related antibiotics were withdrawn, and her symptoms resolved 3 months later. We searched PubMed using terms of "nafcillin cholestasis" and "nafcillin hepatitis", and a review of the literature showed other reports of nafcillin-induced hepatitis and cholestasis. Avoidance and on occasion the guarded use of glucocorticoids can lead to recovery from the insult. This case report shows that while rare, nafcillin can cause cholestatic hepatitis through a likely eosinophil-mediated hypersensitivity reaction. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism of this reaction.
