Abstract
Adaptive stress response pathways (SRPs) restore cellular homeostasis following perturbation but may activate terminal outcomes like apoptosis, autophagy, or cellular senescence if disruption exceeds critical thresholds. Because SRPs hold the key to vital cellular tipping points, they are targeted for therapeutic interventions and assessed as biomarkers of toxicity. Hence, we are developing a public database of chemicals that perturb SRPs to enable new data-driven tools to improve public health. Here, we report on the automated text-mining pipeline we used to build and curate the first version of this database. We started with 100 reference SRP chemicals gathered from published biomarker studies to bootstrap the database. Second, we used information retrieval to find co-occurrences of reference chemicals with SRP terms in PubMed abstracts and determined pairwise mutual information thresholds to filter biologically relevant relationships. Third, we applied these thresholds to find 1206 putative SRP perturbagens within thousands of substances in the Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS). To assign SRP activity to LINCS chemicals, domain experts had to manually review at least three publications for each of 1206 chemicals out of 181,805 total abstracts. To accomplish this efficiently, we implemented a machine learning approach to predict SRP classifications from texts to prioritize abstracts. In 5-fold cross-validation testing with a corpus derived from the 100 reference chemicals, artificial neural networks performed the best (F1-macro = 0.678) and prioritized 2479/181,805 abstracts for expert review, which resulted in 457 chemicals annotated with SRP activities. An independent analysis of enriched mechanisms of action and chemical use class supported the text-mined chemical associations (p < 0.05): heat shock inducers were linked with HSP90 and DNA damage inducers to topoisomerase inhibition. This database will enable novel applications of LINCS data to evaluate SRP activities and to further develop tools for biomedical information extraction from the literature.

Mapping Interindividual Variability of Toxicodynamics Using High-Throughput Transcriptomics and Primary Human Hepatocytes from Fifty Donors. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES 2024; 132:37005. [PMID: 38498338 PMCID: PMC10947137 DOI: 10.1289/ehp11891] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the variability across the human population with respect to toxicodynamic responses after exposure to chemicals, such as environmental toxicants or drugs, is essential to define safety factors for risk assessment to protect the entire population. Activation of cellular stress response pathways are early adverse outcome pathway (AOP) key events of chemical-induced toxicity and would elucidate the estimation of population variability of toxicodynamic responses. OBJECTIVES We aimed to map the variability in cellular stress response activation in a large panel of primary human hepatocyte (PHH) donors to aid in the quantification of toxicodynamic interindividual variability to derive safety uncertainty factors. METHODS High-throughput transcriptomics of over 8,000 samples in total was performed covering a panel of 50 individual PHH donors upon 8 to 24 h exposure to broad concentration ranges of four different toxicological relevant stimuli: tunicamycin for the unfolded protein response (UPR), diethyl maleate for the oxidative stress response (OSR), cisplatin for the DNA damage response (DDR), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF α ) for NF- κ B signaling. Using a population mixed-effect framework, the distribution of benchmark concentrations (BMCs) and maximum fold change were modeled to evaluate the influence of PHH donor panel size on the correct estimation of interindividual variability for the various stimuli. RESULTS Transcriptome mapping allowed the investigation of the interindividual variability in concentration-dependent stress response activation, where the average of BMCs had a maximum difference of 864-, 13-, 13-, and 259-fold between different PHHs for UPR, OSR, DDR, and NF- κ B signaling-related genes, respectively. Population modeling revealed that small PHH panel sizes systematically underestimated the variance and gave low probabilities in estimating the correct human population variance. Estimated toxicodynamic variability factors of stress response activation in PHHs based on this dataset ranged between 1.6 and 6.3. DISCUSSION Overall, by combining high-throughput transcriptomics and population modeling, improved understanding of interindividual variability in chemical-induced activation of toxicity relevant stress pathways across the human population using a large panel of plated cryopreserved PHHs was established, thereby contributing toward increasing the confidence of in vitro-based prediction of adverse responses, in particular hepatotoxicity. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP11891.

Abstract
Contamination of feed with mycotoxins has become a severe issue worldwide. Among the most prevalent trichothecene mycotoxins, T-2 toxin is of particular importance for livestock production, including poultry posing a significant threat to animal health and productivity. This review article aims to comprehensively analyze the pathological consequences, metabolism, and toxic effects of T-2 toxin in poultry. Trichothecene mycotoxins, primarily produced by Fusarium species, are notorious for their potent toxicity. T-2 toxin exhibits a broad spectrum of negative effects on poultry species, leading to substantial economic losses as well as concerns about animal welfare and food safety in modern agriculture. T-2 toxin exposure easily results in negative pathological consequences in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as in parenchymal tissues like the liver (as the key organ for its metabolism), kidneys, or reproductive organs. In addition, it also intensely damages immune system-related tissues such as the spleen, the bursa of Fabricius, or the thymus causing immunosuppression and increasing the susceptibility of the animals to infectious diseases, as well as making immunization programs less effective. The toxin also damages cellular processes on the transcriptional and translational levels and induces apoptosis through the activation of numerous cellular signaling cascades. Furthermore, according to recent studies, besides the direct effects on the abovementioned processes, T-2 toxin induces the production of reactive molecules and free radicals resulting in oxidative distress and concomitantly occurring cellular damage. In conclusion, this review article provides a complex and detailed overview of the metabolism, pathological consequences, mechanism of action as well as the immunomodulatory and oxidative stress-related effects of T-2 toxin. Understanding these effects in poultry is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate the impact of the T-2 toxin on avian health and food safety in the future.

Abstract
Despite being one of the most common contaminants of poultry feed, the molecular effects of T-2 toxin on the liver of the exposed animals are still not fully elucidated. To gain more accurate understanding, the effects of T-2 toxin were investigated in the present study in chicken-derived three-dimensional (3D) primary hepatic cell cultures. 3D spheroids were treated with three concentrations (100, 500, 1000 nM) of T-2 toxin for 24 h. Cellular metabolic activity declined in all treated groups as reflected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay, while extracellular lactate dehydrogenase activity was increased after 500 nM T-2 toxin exposure. The levels of oxidative stress markers malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl were reduced by the toxin, suggesting effective antioxidant compensatory mechanisms of the liver. Concerning the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 concentration was decreased, while IL-8 concentration was increased by 100 nM T-2 toxin exposure, indicating the multifaceted immunomodulatory action of the toxin. Further, the metabolic profile of hepatic spheroids was also modulated, confirming the altered lipid and amino acid metabolism of toxin-exposed liver cells. Based on these results, T-2 toxin affected cell viability, hepatocellular metabolism and inflammatory response, likely carried out its toxic effects by affecting the oxidative homeostasis of the cells.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is a small chaperone protein that is overexpressed in a variety of cellular stress states. It is involved in regulating proteostasis and protecting cells from multiple sources of stress injury by stabilizing protein conformation and promoting the refolding of misfolded proteins. Previous studies have confirmed that HSP27 is involved in the development of cardiovascular diseases and plays an important regulatory role in this process. Herein, we comprehensively and systematically summarize the involvement of HSP27 and its phosphorylated form in pathophysiological processes, including oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis, and further explore the potential mechanisms and possible roles of HSP27 in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Targeting HSP27 is a promising future strategy for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Role of Hepatocyte Transporters in Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI)-In Vitro Testing. Pharmaceutics 2022; 15:pharmaceutics15010029.

Abstract
Bile acids and bile salts (BA/BS) are substrates of both influx and efflux transporters on hepatocytes. Canalicular efflux transporters, such as BSEP and MRP2, are crucial for the removal of BA/BS to the bile. Basolateral influx transporters, such as NTCP, OATP1B1/1B3, and OSTα/β, cooperate with canalicular transporters in the transcellular vectorial flux of BA/BS from the sinusoids to the bile. The blockage of canalicular transporters not only impairs the bile flow but also causes the intracellular accumulation of BA/BS in hepatocytes that contributes to, or even triggers, liver injury. In the case of BA/BS overload, the efflux of these toxic substances back to the blood via MRP3, MRP4, and OST α/β is considered a relief function. FXR, a key regulator of defense against BA/BS toxicity suppresses de novo bile acid synthesis and bile acid uptake, and promotes bile acid removal via increased efflux. In drug development, the early testing of the inhibition of these transporters, BSEP in particular, is important to flag compounds that could potentially inflict drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In vitro test systems for efflux transporters employ membrane vesicles, whereas those for influx transporters employ whole cells. Additional in vitro pharmaceutical testing panels usually include cellular toxicity tests using hepatocytes, as well as assessments of the mitochondrial toxicity and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Primary hepatocytes are the cells of choice for toxicity testing, with HepaRG cells emerging as an alternative. Inhibition of the FXR function is also included in some testing panels. The molecular weight and hydrophobicity of the drug, as well as the steady-state total plasma levels, may positively correlate with the DILI potential. Depending on the phase of drug development, the physicochemical properties, dosing, and cut-off values of BSEP IC50 ≤ 25-50 µM or total Css,plasma/BSEP IC50 ≥ 0.1 may be an indication for further testing to minimize the risk of DILI liability.

Abstract
Introduction Cholestasis is a disorder that the bile ducts were narrowed and bile acids are not released simply. Bile acids-induced liver damage is exacerbated by inflammation and oxidative stress. The goal of the current study was to investigate the protective impacts of fluvoxamine (Flu) on oxidant-antioxidant balance and inflammatory cytokines in the bile duct ligated (BDL) rats. Methods Thirty-two male rats were arbitrarily allocated in 4 groups; sham-control (SC), SC+ 150 mg/kg Flu (SCF), bile duct ligation (BDL), and BDL+ 150 mg/kg Flu (BDLF). The rats received distilled water and Flu orally for one week. Biochemical analysis, hematoxylin and eosin staining, as well as oxidant/antioxidant status were evaluated. Also, the mRNA expression of TGF-β1, IL-1, TNF-α, and α-SMA were determined. Results The findings indicated serum values of ALT, total bilirubin, and ALP slightly declined in the BDL + Flu group in contrast to BDL rats. The plasma protein carbonyl and inflammatory markers were markedly increased in the BDL group in contrast with SC group (P ≤ 0.05). Treatment with Flu in BDL rats markedly reduced the values of hepatic nitric oxide metabolite and malondialdehyde, plasma protein carbonyl, as well as TNF-α mRNA level (P ≤ 0.05). Histological parameters were improved in the BDL + Flu group in comparison to BDL merely rats. Conclusion It seems that Flu declined oxidative stress probably by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and nitric oxide formation. Also, it reduced inflammation by decreasing TNF-α mRNA expression.

Kuhuang injection exerts a protective effect by activating PPAR-γ in an in vitro model of chlorpromazine-induced cholestatic liver injury constructed by tissue engineering. PHARMACEUTICAL BIOLOGY 2022; 60:1679-1689. [PMID: 36063125 PMCID: PMC9467616 DOI: 10.1080/13880209.2022.2110128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Kuhuang (KH) injection is a widely used anticholestatic drug in the clinic and the mechanisms are still unclear. OBJECTIVE This study uses a new 3D tissue-engineered (TE) liver platform to study the ability of kuhuang to ameliorate liver injury induced by chlorpromazine (CPZ) and the possible mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS The TE livers (n = 25) were divided into 5 groups (n = 5 livers/group) as 3D, 3D + CPZ, 3D + CPZ + KH, 3D + CPZ + GW9662 (a PPARγ inhibitor) and 3D + CPZ + KH + GW9662. The treatments with kuhuang (1 mg/mL) and GW9662 (10 μmol/L) were given to the desired groups on the 7th day of the experimental process. 20 μmol/L CPZ was added on the 8th day. RESULTS According to the 2D experimental results, the minimum effective concentration of kuhuang is 10 μg/mL and the optimal effective concentration is 1 mg/mL. Kuhuang ameliorated tissue damage in the TE livers both in terms of tissue structure and culture supernatant. Kuhuang significantly reduced TBA accumulation (38%) and downregulated CYP7A1 (38%) and CYP8B1 (79%). It reduced hepatic levels of ROS (14%), MDA (27%) but increased the levels of GSH (41%), SOD (12%), BSEP (4.4-fold), and MRP2 (74%). Moreover, kuhuang downregulated DR5 (99%) but increased the mRNA expression of PPARγ (4-fold). Molecular docking analyses determined the bioactivity of the active compounds of kuhuang through their specific bindings to PPARγ. CONCLUSIONS Kuhuang could alleviate CPZ-induced cholestatic liver injury by activating PPARγ to reduce oxidative stress. Applying kuhuang for the treatment of CPZ-induced liver injury could be suggested.

Abstract
Cyclosporine is an established medication for the prevention of transplant rejection. However, adverse consequences such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and cholestasis have been associated with prolonged usage. In cyclosporine-induced obstructive and chronic cholestasis, for example, the overproduction of oxidative stress is significantly increased. Additionally, cyclosporine exerts adverse effects on liver function and redox balance responses in treated rats, as evidenced by its increasing levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and bilirubin while also decreasing the levels of glutathione and NADPH. Cyclosporine binds to cyclophilin to produce its therapeutic effects, and the resulting complex inhibits calcineurin, causing calcium to accumulate in the mitochondria. Accumulating calcium with concomitant mitochondrial abnormalities induces oxidative stress, perturbation in ATP balance, and failure of calcium pumps. Also, cyclosporine-induced phagocyte oxidative stress generation via the interaction of phagocytes with Toll-like receptor-4 has been studied. The adverse effect of cyclosporine may be amplified by the release of mitochondrial DNA, mediated by oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage. Given the uncertainty surrounding the mechanism of cyclosporine-induced oxidative stress in cholestasis, we aim to illuminate the involvement of oxidative stress in cyclosporine-mediated cholestasis and also explore possible strategic interventions that may be applied in the future.

Abstract
Rifampicin is a first-line antituberculosis drug. Hepatocyte toxicity caused by rifampicin is a significant clinical problem. However, the specific mechanism by which rifampicin causes liver injury is still poorly understood. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can have both protective and proapoptotic effects on an organism, depending on the environmental state of the organism. While causing cholestasis and oxidative stress in the liver, rifampicin also activates ER stress in different ways, including bile acid accumulation and cytochrome p450 (CYP) enzyme-induced toxic drug metabolites via pregnane X receptor (PXR). The short-term stress response helps the organism resist toxicity, but when persisting, the response aggravates liver damage. Therefore, ER stress may be closely related to the “adaptive” mechanism and the apoptotic toxicity of rifampicin. This article reviews the functional characteristics of ER stress and its potentially pathogenic role in liver injury caused by rifampicin.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) remains an important clinical problem, both during drug development and the prescription of a range of licensed drugs. Although rare, the consequences are serious. Ongoing studies on genetic risk factors for DILI, especially genomewide association studies, have resulted in the identification of a number of genetic risk factors, including particular HLA alleles and a few non-HLA genes, both immune-related and metabolic. Some non-HLA associations, such as N-acetyltransferase 2 in isoniazid DILI and interferon regulatory factor 6 in interferon-beta DILI are likely to be drug-specific due to the role of the associated gene, but there is also evidence for polygenic susceptibility involving pathways such as oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial function for DILI induced by multiple drugs. Increased knowledge of genetic risk factors should assist in better understanding underlying DILI mechanisms and help improve methods for identifying hepatotoxic drugs early in development. HLA allele-specific T cell proliferation together with in silico prediction of drug binding to specific HLA proteins have confirmed genetic findings for certain common causes of DILI. However, studies in hepatocytes exposed to high drug concentrations suggest toxicity that is not dependent on genotype also occurs. It seems likely that susceptibility to DILI involves several genetic risk factors combining with other factors that affect drug levels. Despite recent progress in detecting genetic risk factors for DILI, low positive predictive values mean that general implementation of genotyping prior to prescription of potentially hepatotoxic drugs is not useful currently.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of liver diseases, including liver injury, a serious health problem worldwide. Natural polyphenols have attracted increasing attention as potential agents for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases. Orientin, a flavonoid component with antioxidant capacity, has been regarded as a promising nutraceutical for patients with liver damage. This study aimed to investigate the amelioration effect of orientin on d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharides (d-GalN/LPS) induced liver injury in mice, with a focus on its underlying mechanisms by using the H2O2-induced oxidative damage model of HepG2 cells. Results indicated that orientin alleviated d-GalN/LPS-induced liver damage by improving the hepatic histological changes and reducing the levels of hepatic and serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartic acid aminotransferase. Additionally, supplementation of orientin improved the antioxidant ability in mice by decreasing the levels of hepatic malondialdehyde, protein carbonyl, myeloperoxidase, nitric oxide, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, gluathione reductase, and superoxide dismutase. Orientin treatment significantly elevated both the protein and mRNA expressions of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1, heme oxygenase-1, and nicotinamide quinone oxidoreductase 1 in liver and HepG2 cells. The management of orientin also elevated the protein expression of glutathione S-transferase and Maf in HepG2 cells. Taken together, it suggested that orientin played an amelioration effect on liver injury by suppressing oxidative stress, which might be strongly related to the activation of Nrf2/ARE through PI3K/Akt and P38/MAPK signal pathways.

Abstract
Background Abdominal surgery is an efficient treatment of intra-abdominal sepsis. Surgical trauma and peritoneal infection lead to the activation of multiple pathological pathways. The liver is particularly susceptible to injury under septic conditions. Liver function is impaired when pathological conditions induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), aiming at restoring ER homeostasis, or inducing cell death. In order to translate basic knowledge on ER function into the clinical setting, we aimed at dissecting the effect of surgery and peritoneal infection on the progression of ER stress/UPR and inflammatory markers in the liver in a clinically relevant experimental animal model. Methods Wistar rats underwent laparotomy followed by colon ascendens stent peritonitis (CASP) or surgery (sham) only. Liver damage (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and De Ritis values), inflammatory and UPR markers were assessed in livers at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h postsurgery. Levels of inflammatory (IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and HO-1), UPR (XBP1, GRP78, CHOP), and apoptosis (BAX/Bcl-XL) mRNA were determined by qPCR. Splicing of XBP1 (XBP1s) was analyzed by gel electrophoresis, p-eIF2α and GRP78 protein levels using the western blots. Results Aspartate aminotransferase levels were elevated 24 h after surgery and thereafter declined with different kinetics in sham and CASP groups. Compared with sham De Ritis ratios were significantly higher in the CASP group, at 48 and 96 h. CASP induced an inflammatory response after 48 h, evidenced by elevated levels of IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, and HO-1. In contrast, UPR markers XBP1s, p-eIF2α, GRP78, XBP1, and CHOP did not increase in response to infection but paralleled the kinetics of AST and De Ritis ratios. We found that inflammatory markers were predominantly associated with CASP, while UPR markers were associated with surgery. However, in the CASP group, we found a stronger correlation between XBP1s, XBP1 and GRP78 with damage markers, suggesting a synergistic influence of inflammation on UPR in our model. Conclusion Our results indicate that independent mechanisms induce ER stress/UPR and the inflammatory response in the liver. While peritoneal infection predominantly triggers inflammatory responses, the conditions associated with organ damage are predominant triggers of the hepatic UPR.

Polydatin: A Critical Promising Natural Agent for Liver Protection via Antioxidative Stress. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9218738. [PMID: 35186191 PMCID: PMC8853764 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9218738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Polydatin, one of the natural active small molecules, was commonly applied in protecting and treating liver disorders in preclinical studies. Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, viral infections, dietary components, drugs, and other chemical reagents. It is reported that oxidative stress might be one of the main reasons in the progressive development of alcohol liver diseases (ALDs), nonalcoholic liver diseases (NAFLDs), liver injury, fibrosis, hepatic failure (HF), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this paper, we comprehensively summarized the pharmacological effects and potential molecular mechanisms of polydatin for protecting and treating liver disorders via regulation of oxidative stress. According to the previous studies, polydatin is a versatile natural compound and exerts significantly protective and curative effects on oxidative stress-associated liver diseases via various molecular mechanisms, including amelioration of liver function and insulin resistance, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, lipid accumulation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy, regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), as well as increase of antioxidant enzymes (such as catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)). In addition, polydatin acts as a free radical scavenger against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by its phenolic and ethylenic bond structure. However, further clinical investigations are still needed to explore the comprehensive molecular mechanisms and confirm the clinical treatment effect of polydatin in liver diseases related to regulation of oxidative stress.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Systemic infections caused by life-threatening pathogens represent one of the main factors leading to clinical death. In this study, we developed a pathogen infection-responsive and macrophage endoplasmic reticulum-targeting nanoplatform to alleviate systemic infections. The nanoplatform is composed of large-pore mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) grafted by an endoplasmic reticulum-targeting peptide, and a pathogen infection-responsive cap containing the reactive oxygen species-cleavable boronobenzyl acid linker and bovine serum albumin. The capped MSNs exhibited the capacity to high-efficiently load the antimicrobial peptide melittin, and to rapidly release the cargo triggered by H2O2 or the pathogen-macrophage interaction system, but had no obvious toxicity to macrophages. During the interaction with pathogenic Candida albicans cells and macrophages, the melittin-loading nanoplatform MSNE+MEL+TPB strongly inhibited pathogen growth, survived macrophages, and suppressed endoplasmic reticulum stress together with pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion. In a systemic infection model, the nanoplatform efficiently prevented kidney dysfunction, alleviated inflammatory symptoms, and protected the mice from death. This study developed a macrophage organelle-targeting nanoplatform for treatment of life-threatening systemic infections. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL Supplementary material (N2 adsorption curves of the initial synthesized MSNs, FT-IR spectra of MSN, and MSNE, MEL release from the FITC-MEL-loading MSNE + TPB induced by different concentration of H2O2, viability of NIH3T3 cells, and DC2.4 cells after treatment of free MEL or the used nanoparticles, effect of MEL on C. albicans growth and macrophage death during the interaction between C. albicans and macrophages, effect of MEL and the nanoparticles on S. aureus growth and macrophage death during the interaction between S. aureus and macrophages, quantification of GRP78 (a) and activated Caspase-3, flow cytometry analysis of kidney non-macrophages with the Alexa Fluor 594 signal, survival curve of the infected mice treated by MEL or MSNE + MEL, kidney burden, blood urea levels and serum TNF-α levels in the infected mice) is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s12274-022-4211-z.

Abstract
Antimicrobials against planktonic cells and established biofilms at low doses are in increasing demand to tackle antibiotic-resistant biofilm infections. As a promising alternative to antibiotics, cationic polymers can effectively kill planktonic microbes but usually require high concentrations to eradicate the established biofilms. Herein, we developed a series of sulfonium-based homopolymers with cationic sulfoniums and alkane spacers in the main chain. These polysulfoniums presented effective activity against planktonic fungi (Candida albicans) and bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) with minimum inhibition concentrations (MICs) of 0.5-32 μg/mL, and the optimal composition can provide an 80-90% reduction in biofilm mass and >99% killing of Candida albicans and Escherichia coli cells in 3-day mature biofilms at 2 × MIC as well as steadily low hemolytic toxicity. The influence of amphiphilicity and charge density of polysulfonium homopolymers on their antimicrobial activity against planktonic microbes and mature biofilms was investigated to provide insights for effective antimicrobial polymer design.

Abstract
Flucloxacillin is a β-lactam antibiotic associated with a high incidence of drug-induced liver reactions. Although expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*57:01 increases susceptibility, little is known of the pathological mechanisms involved in the induction of the clinical phenotype. Irreversible protein modification is suspected to drive the reaction through the modification of peptides that are presented by the risk allele. In this study, the binding of flucloxacillin to immune cells was characterized and the nature of the peptides presented by HLA-B*57:01 was analyzed using mass spectrometric-based immunopeptidomics methods. Flucloxacillin modification of multiple proteins was observed, providing a potential source of neoantigens for HLA presentation. Of the peptides eluted from flucloxacillin-treated C1R-B*57:01 cells, 6 putative peptides were annotated as flucloxacillin-modified HLA-B*57:01 peptide ligands (data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD020137). To conclude, we have characterized naturally processed drug-haptenated HLA ligands presented on the surface of antigen presenting cells that may drive drug-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.

Abstract
Bile acid accumulation and subsequent liver damage is a frequent adverse effect induced by drugs. Considerable efforts have therefore been focused on the introduction and characterization of tools that allow reliable prediction of this type of drug-induced liver injury. Among those are the cholestatic index and transcriptomic profiling, which are typically assessed in in vitro settings. The present study was set up to test the applicability of both tools to non-pharmaceutical compounds with cholestatic potential, including the industrial compound bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, the cosmetic ingredients triclosan and octynoic acid, the herbicides paraquat and quizalofop-para-ethyl, and the food additives sunset yellow and tartrazine, in a human hepatoma cell culture model of cholestatic liver injury. The cholestatic index method showed cholestatic liability of sunset yellow, tartrazine and triclosan. Of those, tartrazine induced transcriptional changes reminiscent of the transcriptional profile of cholestatic drugs. Furthermore, a number of genes were found to be uniquely modulated by tartrazine, in accordance with the cholestatic drugs atazanavir, cyclosporin A and nefazodone, which may have potential as novel transcriptomic biomarkers of chemical-induced cholestatic liver injury. In conclusion, unambiguous identification of the non-pharmaceutical compounds tested in this study as inducers of cholestasis could not be achieved.

Abstract
Neoantigen formation due to the interaction of drug molecules with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-peptide complexes can lead to severe hypersensitivity reactions. Flucloxacillin (FLX), a β-lactam antibiotic for narrow-spectrum gram-positive bacterial infections, has been associated with severe immune-mediated drug-induced liver injury caused by an influx of T-lymphocytes targeting liver cells potentially recognizing drug-haptenated peptides in the context of HLA-B*57:01. To identify immunopeptidome changes that could lead to drug-driven immunogenicity, we used mass spectrometry to characterize the proteome and immunopeptidome of B-lymphoblastoid cells solely expressing HLA-B*57:01 as MHC-I molecules. Selected drug-conjugated peptides identified in these cells were synthesized and tested for their immunogenicity in HLA-B*57:01-transgenic mice. T cell responses were evaluated in vitro by immune assays. The immunopeptidome of FLX-treated cells was more diverse than that of untreated cells, enriched with peptides containing carboxy-terminal tryptophan and FLX-haptenated lysine residues on peptides. Selected FLX-modified peptides with drug on P4 and P6 induced drug-specific CD8+ T cells in vivo. FLX was also found directly linked to the HLA K146 that could interfere with KIR-3DL or peptide interactions. These studies identify a novel effect of antibiotics to alter anchor residue frequencies in HLA-presented peptides which may impact drug-induced inflammation. Covalent FLX-modified lysines on peptides mapped drug-specific immunogenicity primarily at P4 and P6 suggesting these peptide sites as drivers of off-target adverse reactions mediated by FLX. FLX modifications on HLA-B*57:01-exposed lysines may also impact interactions with KIR or TCR and subsequent NK and T cell function.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OxS) is considered a major factor in the pathophysiology of inflammatory chronic liver diseases, including non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD). Chronic impairment of lipid metabolism is closely related to alterations of the oxidant/antioxidant balance, which affect metabolism-related organelles, leading to cellular lipotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Increased OxS also triggers hepatocytes stress pathways, leading to inflammation and fibrogenesis, contributing to the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The antioxidant response, regulated by the Nrf2/ARE pathway, is a key component in this process and counteracts oxidative stress-induced damage, contributing to the restoration of normal lipid metabolism. Therefore, modulation of the antioxidant response emerges as an interesting target to prevent NAFLD development and progression. This review highlights the link between disturbed lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in the context of NAFLD. In addition, emerging potential therapies based on antioxidant effects and their likely molecular targets are discussed.

Abstract
Flucloxacillin is a β-lactam antibiotic associated with a high incidence of drug-induced liver reactions. Although expression of HLA-B*57:01 increases susceptibility, little is known about the pathological mechanisms involved in the induction of the clinical phenotype. Irreversible protein modification is suspected to drive the reaction through the presentation of flucloxacillin-modified peptides by the risk allele. In this study, the binding of flucloxacillin to proteins of liver-like cells was characterized. Flucloxacillin was shown to bind to proteins localized in bile canaliculi regions, coinciding with the site of clinical disease. The localization of flucloxacillin was mediated primarily by the membrane transporter multidrug resistance-associated protein 2. Modification of multiple proteins by flucloxacillin in bile canaliculi regions may provide a potential local source of neo-antigens for HLA presentation in the liver.

Abstract
Glioblastoma contains a rare population of self-renewing brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) which are endowed with properties to proliferate, spur the growth of new tumors, and at the same time, evade ionizing radiation (IR) and chemotherapy. However, the drivers of BTSC resistance to therapy remain unknown. The cytokine receptor for oncostatin M (OSMR) regulates BTSC proliferation and glioblastoma tumorigenesis. Here, we report our discovery of a mitochondrial OSMR that confers resistance to IR via regulation of oxidative phosphorylation, independent of its role in cell proliferation. Mechanistically, OSMR is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix via the presequence translocase-associated motor complex components, mtHSP70 and TIM44. OSMR interacts with NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase 1/2 (NDUFS1/2) of complex I and promotes mitochondrial respiration. Deletion of OSMR impairs spare respiratory capacity, increases reactive oxygen species, and sensitizes BTSCs to IR-induced cell death. Importantly, suppression of OSMR improves glioblastoma response to IR and prolongs lifespan. The suppression of the receptor for oncostatin M (OSMR) can prevent glioblastoma cell growth. Here, the authors demonstrate a role for OSMR in modulating glioma stem cell respiration and its impact on resistance to ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Ginsenoside Rg1 is an active ingredient extracted from the roots of ginsenoside, and an α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced rat model of intrahepatic cholestasis was used to investigate the protective effect of Rg1 on cholestasis. 48 SD male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group, model group, UDCA group (ursodeoxycholic acid), low-dose Rg1 group (10 mg/kg), medium-dose Rg1 group (20 mg/kg) and high-dose Rg1 group (40 mg/kg). The model group, the UDCA group and all the Rg1 group were then intragastrically administered with 80 mg/kg ANIT, and the control group were given equal volume of olive oil. Then the pathological changes in liver tissue were observed, the secretion of bile in the bile duct was measured, and the biochemical markers in serum were quantified, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamyl transfer peptidase (GTP) and the content of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), total bile acid (TBA). The contents of inflammatory mediators in serum were quantified, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), γ-interferon (IFN-γ) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in liver homogenate were quantified. Expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), transporters and metabolic enzymes in liver tissue was monitored. Rg1 treatment improved liver tissue pathological damage, promoted bile secretion and significantly reduced serum levels of the intrahepatic cholestasis markers ALT, AST, ALP, GTP, TBIL, DBIL and TBA. Rg1 increased the activity of SOD and GSH-Px in liver homogenate, while, reducing the serum levels of MDA and inflammatory mediators. Rg1 also regulated the expression of FXR, bile acid transporters and metabolic enzymes. Overall, Rg1 alleviated liver injury by improving secretion of bile and normalizing the activity of enzymes in the serum. The protective mechanism appeared to be related to the activation of FXR and regulation of liver transporters and metabolic enzymes.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are induced after different stress situations. Some of these proteins, particularly HSP-27, function as markers to indicate cellular stress or damage and protect the heart during addictive processes. Morphine withdrawal induces an enhancement of sympathetic activity in parallel with an increased HSP-27 expression and phosphorylation, indicating a severe situation of stress. HSP-27 can interact with different intracellular signaling pathways. Propranolol and SL-327 were able to antagonize the activation of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis and the phosphorylation of HSP-27 observed during morphine withdrawal. Therefore, β-adrenergic receptors and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway would be involved in HPA axis activity, and consequently, in HSP-27 activation. Finally, selective blockade of corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF)-1 receptor and the genetic deletion of CRF1 receptors antagonize cardiac adaptive changes. These changes are increased noradrenaline (NA) turnover, HPA axis activation and decreased HSP-27 expression and phosphorylation. This suggests a link between the HPA axis and HSP-27. On the other hand, morphine withdrawal increases µ-calpain expression, which in turn degrades cardiac troponin T (cTnT). This fact, together with a co-localization between cTnT and HSP-27, suggests that this chaperone avoids the degradation of cTnT by µ-calpain, correcting the cardiac contractility abnormalities observed during addictive processes. The aim of our research is to review the possible role of HSP-27 in the cardiac changes observed during morphine withdrawal and to understand the mechanisms implicated in its cardiac protective functions.

Abstract
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) have been recently introduced as tools to map the mechanisms underlying toxic events relevant for chemical risk assessment. AOPs particularly depict the linkage between a molecular initiating event and an adverse outcome through a number of intermediate key events. An AOP has been previously introduced for cholestatic liver injury. The objective of this study was to test the robustness of this AOP for different types of cholestatic insult and the in vitro to in vivo extrapolation. For this purpose, in vitro samples from human hepatoma HepaRG cell cultures were exposed to cholestatic drugs (i.e. intrahepatic cholestasis), while in vivo samples were obtained from livers of cholestatic mice (i.e. extrahepatic cholestasis). The occurrence of cholestasis in vitro was confirmed through analysis of bile transporter functionality and bile acid analysis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed inflammation and oxidative stress as key events in both types of cholestatic liver injury. Major transcriptional differences between intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholestatic liver insults were observed at the level of cell death and metabolism. Novel key events identified by pathway analysis included endoplasmic reticulum stress in intrahepatic cholestasis, and autophagy and necroptosis in both intrahepatic as extrahepatic cholestasis. This study demonstrates that AOPs constitute dynamic tools that should be frequently updated with new input information.

Abstract
Drug-induced cholestasis (DIC) refers to the accumulation of bile acid in the liver or systemic circulation due to the obstruction of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile flow caused by various prescription or non-prescription chemicals, biological agents, traditional Chinese medicines, natural drugs, and their metabolites. In recent years, the incidence of DIC, a common manifestation of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has been increasing with the aging of the population, the increase of the variety of clinical medications, and the more common use of combined drugs. Therefore, DIC has attracted wide attention from medical professionals, including clinical pharmacists. Hepatic injury induced by DIC is a complex process, which is triggered by two types of biological reactions: the deteriorative response, caused by bile acid accumulation, and the adaptive response aiming at removing the accumulated bile acids. Current studies have shown that several factors can trigger DIC, including changes of functions or microstructures of membrane transporters, hepatocytes, and bile ducts. There is still a lack of specific effective treatment for DIC. Timely withdrawal of suspected liver-injuring drugs is the most important strategy for DIC, and appropriate drugs should be then chosen to relieve the condition based on the clinical type of DIC and symptoms such as itching. For very few patients with severe liver failure, liver transplantation should be considered to save their lives. As such, in-depth knowledge of the mechanism of DIC can help to optimize the prediction and pharmacovigillance model of DILI in vivo during drug development and afterwards marketing, and promote the improvement of prevention and treatment strategies and the development of related interventions. This article reviews the progress in the understanding of the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of DIC, with an aim to provide reference for further studies.

Hepatic Stress Response in HCV Infection Promotes STAT3-Mediated Inhibition of HNF4A- miR-122 Feedback Loop in Liver Fibrosis and Cancer Progression. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11101407.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection compromises the natural defense mechanisms of the liver leading to a progressive end stage disease such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The hepatic stress response generated due to viral replication in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes a stepwise transition from adaptive to pro-survival signaling to improve host cell survival and liver disease progression. The minute details of hepatic pro-survival unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling that contribute to HCC development in cirrhosis are unknown. This study shows that the UPR sensor, the protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK), mediates the pro-survival signaling through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation in a persistent HCV infection model of Huh-7.5 liver cells. The NRF2-mediated STAT3 activation in persistently infected HCV cell culture model resulted in the decreased expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A), a major liver-specific transcription factor. The stress-induced inhibition of HNF4A expression resulted in a significant reduction of liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122) transcription. It was found that the reversal of hepatic adaptive pro-survival signaling and restoration of miR-122 level was more efficient by interferon (IFN)-based antiviral treatment than direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). To test whether miR-122 levels could be utilized as a biomarker of hepatic adaptive stress response in HCV infection, serum miR-122 level was measured among healthy controls, and chronic HCV patients with or without cirrhosis. Our data show that serum miR-122 expression level remained undetectable in most of the patients with cirrhosis (stage IV fibrosis), suggesting that the pro-survival UPR signaling increases the risk of HCC through STAT3-mediated suppression of miR-122. In conclusion, our data indicate that hepatic pro-survival UPR signaling suppresses the liver-specific HNF4A and its downstream target miR-122 in cirrhosis. These results provide an explanation as to why cirrhosis is a risk factor for the development of HCC in chronic HCV infection.

Abstract
The protective effects of genipin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) have been reported; however, the mechanism is unclear. Genipin performs its pharmacological effects via activation of the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether the PI3K/AKT pathway is involved in the protective effects of genipin against mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), and inflammation in ALI. We constructed in vivo and in vitro models of LPS-induced ALI. PI3K/AKT signaling was inhibited using LY294002. Pretreatment with genipin increased AKT phosphorylation, indicating that PI3K/AKT signaling was upregulated. Genipin pretreatment prevented LPS-induced histopathological deterioration, increased pulmonary edema, and decreased oxygenation index, all of which were inhibited using LY294002. In addition, genipin pretreatment attenuated LPS-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis, as indicated by improved mitochondrial dysfunction, downregulation of BAX (BCL2 associated X, apoptosis regulator), upregulation of BCL2 (BCL2 apoptosis regulator), inhibited the release of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, and cell apoptosis. Genipin pretreatment inhibited the LPS-induced upregulation of AF4/FMR2 family member 4 (CHOP), glucose-regulated protein, 78 kDa (GRP78), and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) levels, indicating ERS suppression. Moreover, genipin pretreatment alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, indicating by blockade of nuclear factor kappa b (NF-κB) signaling activation and reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 levels in the lung and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. LY294002 could inhibit these genipin-induced protective effects against apoptosis, ERS, and inflammation. Thus, genipin significantly activates PI3K/AKT signaling to ameliorate mitochondria-dependent apoptosis, ERS, and inflammation in LPS-induced ALI.

Antibiotics and high fat diets are commonly used independently in global aquaculture production for fish health management and to spare the use of costly protein as energy sources, respectively, causing relatively similar metabolic effects and stresses. However, it is unknown whether dietary high fat worsens or attenuates the adverse effects caused by antibiotics in fish. We determined the ability of high fat diet to influence the adverse effects of oxytetracycline on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Thirty Nile tilapia weighing 8.45 ± 0.15 g were fed on medium fat (MF; 70 g/kg) and high fat (HF; 120 g/kg) diets and the same fat levels supplemented with 2.00 g/kg diet of OTC (80 mg/kg body weight/day) hereafter, MFO and HFO for 65 days. The general growth performance, feed efficiency and intestinal health of fish were evaluated. The Nile tilapia fed on HFO diet had significantly lower growth rate, body protein content and feed efficiency compared to those fed on MFO diet. Dietary HFO affected the intestine histomorphology, which decreased dramatically the tight junction proteins of Nile tilapia and induced microbiota dysbiosis compared to MFO diet. The Nile tilapia fed on HFO diet had increased oxidative stress, which stimulated drug detoxification response, caused endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis compared to those fed on MFO diet. The new findings from our study demonstrate that, the adverse effects of antibiotics in fish are different at medium and high fat contents. Feeding fish with high fat diets with antibiotics worsen the adverse effects. This enlightens our understanding on the risks of antibiotics misuse and also suggests that antibiotics should be more strictly limited in aquaculture, in which high fat diets are currently widely used in fish production worldwide.

Abstract
Early hepatocyte death occurs in most liver injury cases and triggers liver inflammation, which in combination with other risk factors leads to the development of liver disease. However, the pathogenesis of early phase hepatocyte death remains poorly understood. Here, C57BL/6J mice were treated with the hepatotoxic drug flucloxacillin (FLUX) and the toll-like receptor 9 agonist CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) to reproduce the early phase of drug-induced hepatotoxicity and investigate its pathogenesis. C57BL/6J mice were treated with FLUX (100 mg/kg, gavage) alone or in combination with ODN (40 μg/mouse, intraperitoneally). Plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was measured as a marker of hepatotoxicity. FLUX or ODN alone was insufficient to induce ALT elevation, whereas combination treatment with FLUX and ODN increased ALT levels 24 h after FLUX treatment and upregulated Fas ligand in natural killer T (NKT) cells and Fas in hepatocytes. FLUX induced mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), and pretreatment with ODN sensitized mitochondria to FLUX-induced MPT. The increase in ALT levels induced by ODN and FLUX co-treatment was suppressed in Fas ligand (gld/gld)-deficient mice and in mice deficient in a component of MPT pore opening (cyclophilin D-knockout mice). These results suggested that ODN activated the Fas/Fas ligand-mediated pathway in NKT cells and hepatocytes, which may predispose to FLUX-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and lead to early phase hepatocyte apoptosis. Taken together, these findings elucidate a potentially novel mechanism underlying drug-induced early phase hepatocyte death related to the Fas/Fas ligand death receptor pathway and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Cholestasis underlies one of the major manifestations of drug-induced liver injury. Drug-induced cholestatic liver toxicity is a complex process, as it can be triggered by a variety of factors that induce 2 types of biological responses, namely a deteriorative response, caused by bile acid accumulation, and an adaptive response, aimed at removing the accumulated bile acids. Several key events in both types of responses have been characterized in the past few years. In parallel, many efforts have focused on the development and further optimization of experimental cell culture models to predict the occurrence of drug-induced cholestatic liver toxicity in vivo. In this paper, a state-of-the-art overview of mechanisms and in vitro models of drug-induced cholestatic liver injury is provided.

Abstract
Many drugs can induce liver injury, characterized by hepatocellular, cholestatic or mixed hepatocellular-cholestatic lesions. While an inflammatory stress is known to aggravate hepatocellular injury caused by some drugs much less evidence exists for cholestatic features. In this study, the influence of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α), either individually or combined, on cytotoxic and cholestatic properties of antibiotics was evaluated using differentiated HepaRG cells. Six antibiotics of various chemical structures and known to cause cholestasis and/or hepatocellular injury in clinic were investigated. Caspase-3 activity was increased with all these tested hepatotoxic drugs and except with erythromycin, was further augmented in presence of cytokines mainly when these were co-added as a mixture. TNF-α and IL-1β aggravated cytotoxicity of TVX more than IL-6. Bile canaliculi (BC) dilatation induced by cholestatic drugs was increased by co-treatment with IL-6 and IL-1β but not with TNF-α. Reduced accumulation of carboxy-dichlorofluorescein, a substrate of the multi-drug resistance-associated protein 2, in antibiotic-induced dilatated BC, was further extended in presence of individual or mixed cytokines. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that pro-inflammatory cytokines either individually or in mixture, can modulate cholestatic and/or cytotoxic responses to antibiotics and that the extent of these effects is dependent on the cytokine and the cholestatic antibiotic.

Abstract
Since HepaRG cells can differentiate into well-polarized mature hepatocyte-like cells that synthesize, conjugate, and secrete bile acids, they represent an appropriate surrogate to primary human hepatocytes for investigations on drug-induced cholestasis mechanisms. In this chapter, culture conditions for obtaining HepaRG hepatocytes and the main methods used to detect cholestatic potential of drugs are described. Assays for evaluation of bile canaliculi dynamics and morphology are mainly based on time-lapse and phase-contrast microscopy analysis. Bile acid uptake, trafficking, and efflux are investigated using fluorescent probes. Individual bile acids are quantified in both culture media and cell layers by high-pressure liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. Preferential cellular accumulation of toxic hydrophobic bile acids is easily evidenced when exogenous primary and secondary bile acids are added to the culture medium.

Abstract
Cholestasis can be defined as any situation of impaired bile secretion with concomitant accumulation of bile acids in the liver or in the systemic circulation. A variety of factors may evoke cholestasis, including genetic disorders, metabolic pathologies, infectious diseases, immunogenic stimuli, and drugs. Drug-induced cholestasis is a mechanistically complex process. At least three triggering factors of drug-induced cholestasis have been described, including effects on drug transporters, various hepatocellular changes, and altered bile canaliculi dynamics. These stimuli induce two cellular responses, each typified by a number of key events, namely a deteriorative response activated by bile acid accumulation and an adaptive response aimed at decreasing the uptake and increasing the export of bile acids into and from the liver, respectively. The mechanistic scenario of drug-induced cholestasis is described in this chapter.

Abstract
Melatonin is a neurohormone associated with sleep and wakefulness and is mainly produced by the pineal gland. Numerous physiological functions of melatonin have been demonstrated including anti-inflammation, suppressing neoplastic growth, circadian and endocrine rhythm regulation, and its potent antioxidant activity as well as its role in regeneration of various tissues including the nervous system, liver, bone, kidney, bladder, skin, and muscle, among others. In this review, we summarize the recent advances related to the multiple protective roles of melatonin receptor agonists, melatonin and N-acetylserotonin (NAS), in brain injury, liver damage, and bone health. Brain injury, including traumatic brain injury, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and newborn perinatal hypoxia-ischemia encephalopathy, is a major cause of mortality and disability. Liver disease causes serious public health problems and various factors including alcohol, chemical pollutants, and drugs induce hepatic damage. Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease in humans. Due in part to an aging population, both the cost of care of fracture patients and the annual fracture rate have increased steadily. Despite the discrepancy in the pathophysiological processes of these disorders, time frames and severity, they may share several common molecular mechanisms. Oxidative stress is considered to be a critical factor in these pathogeneses. We update the current state of knowledge related to the molecular processes, mainly including anti-oxidative stress, anti-apoptosis, autophagy dysfunction, and anti-inflammation as well as other properties of melatonin and NAS. Particularly, the abilities of melatonin and NAS to directly scavenge oxygen-centered radicals and toxic reactive oxygen species, and indirectly act through antioxidant enzymes are disscussed. In this review, we summarize the similarities and differences in the protection provided by melatonin and/or NAS in brain, liver and bone damage. We analyze the involvement of melatonin receptor 1A (MT1), melatonin receptor 1B (MT2), and melatonin receptor 1C (MT3) in the protection of melatonin and/or NAS. Additionally, we evaluate their potential clinical applications. The multiple mechanisms of action and multiple organ-targeted properties of melatonin and NAS may contribute to development of promising therapies for clinical trials.
