Abstract
Hepatitis B infection caused by the hepatitis B virus is a life-threatening cause of liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Researchers have produced multiple in vivo models for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and, currently, there are no specific laboratory animal models available to study HBV pathogenesis or immune response; nonetheless, their limitations prevent them from being used to study HBV pathogenesis, immune response, or therapeutic methods because HBV can only infect humans and chimpanzees. The current study is the first of its kind to identify a suitable chemically induced liver cirrhosis/HCC model that parallels HBV pathophysiology. Initially, data from the peer-reviewed literature and the GeneCards database were compiled to identify the genes that HBV and seven drugs (acetaminophen, isoniazid, alcohol, D-galactosamine, lipopolysaccharide, thioacetamide, and rifampicin) regulate. Functional enrichment analysis was performed in the STRING server. The network HBV/Chemical, genes, and pathways were constructed by Cytoscape 3.6.1. About 1546 genes were modulated by HBV, of which 25.2% and 17.6% of the genes were common for alcohol and lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatitis. In accordance with the enrichment analysis, HBV activates the signaling pathways for apoptosis, cell cycle, PI3K-Akt, TNF, JAK-STAT, MAPK, chemokines, NF-kappa B, and TGF-beta. In addition, alcohol and lipopolysaccharide significantly activated these pathways more than other chemicals, with higher gene counts and lower FDR scores. In conclusion, alcohol-induced hepatitis could be a suitable model to study chronic HBV infection and lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatitis for an acute inflammatory response to HBV.

INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION : JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2021; 93:104991. [PMID: 34229066 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2021.104991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the association of the xanthine oxidase (XO) polymorphisms and susceptibility to anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) in Chinese population. A total of 183 tuberculosis patients were enrolled. Patients with ATDILI were classified as cases and those without ATDILI were classified as controls. Genotyping for XO polymorphisms was determined by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. The allele frequencies and genotype distribution was analyzed using the Chi square test to analyze the association between the gene polymorphisms and ATDILI. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors of ATDILI. A total of 21 patients were developed liver injury during anti-tuberculosis treatment in this study, with an incidence of 11.48%. In genotype analysis, no significant difference was observed in the alleles and genotypes frequencies of the six SNPs between two groups (P > 0.05). In haplotype analysis, carriers with GGGATA (rs1884725- rs2295475 -rs45523133- rs206812- rs206813- rs7575607) haplotype had a significantly higher risk of ATDILI compared with other haplotypes (OR = 2.445, 95%CI: 1.058-5.652, P < 0.05). This study suggested that the haplotype GGGATA constructed with rs206812 and rs7575607 mutant alleles might contribute to ATDILI susceptibility in a Chinese population.

rs1800796 of the IL6 gene is associated with increased risk for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in Chinese Han children. Tuberculosis (Edinb) 2018; 111:71-77.

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed the important contribution of the immune response and oxidative stress to the development of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH). To investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the cytokine gene interleukin-6 (IL6) and oxidative stress genes xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) were associated with susceptibility to ATDH, we performed a case-control study including 41 ATDH cases and 116 ATDH-free controls in Chinese Han children. Significant difference in the allele distribution of rs1800796 in the IL6 gene was observed between the case and control groups, and the G allele of rs1800796 was associated with an increased risk for ATDH (odds ratio: 2.48, 95%CI: 1.40-4.40, P = 0.002). However, no significant difference was observed in the allele and genotype distributions of the other SNPs of the IL6, XO and NOS2 genes between the case and control groups after Bonferroni correction. In addition, no interaction was found between all selected SNPs. These findings indicate that genetic variants of the IL6 gene might contribute to the development of ATDH in the Chinese Han pediatric population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose azathioprine with allopurinol (LDAA) has been proposed as a potent therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with the benefit of overcoming side effects regularly associated with thiopurine monotherapy and poor responses. Concerns regarding safety remain, while a layer of complexity has been added by the trend toward treatment directed by red cell thioguanine nucleotide (TGN) profiling. We report on the clinical efficacy and safety of LDAA use in IBD undirected by metabolite profiling. METHODS Observational study of clinical practice from a single IBD center. Patient outcomes were defined clinically based on established activity scores and corticosteroid withdrawal. Red cell TGN was monitored only for suspected nonadherence. RESULTS Overall, 113/164 (69%) patients with Crohn's disease and 83/136 (61%) patients with ulcerative/unclassified colitis had a clinical response by the end of follow-up (median 19 months), while 85 (52%) patients with Crohn's disease and 74 (54%) patients with ulcerative/unclassified colitis were in clinical remission. Clinical response was seen in 45/57 (79%) patients with Crohn's disease and 34/53 (64%) patients with ulcerative/unclassified colitis who were thiopurine naive, had active IBD, and received LDAA as the first line immunomodulator, while in 35 (61%) and 28 (53%), respectively, remission was achieved. LDAA was stopped in 20/300 (7%) patients because of side effects, all of which resolved on drug cessation. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest cohort supporting the favorable safety profile and high efficacy of LDAA in IBD. It presents 2 advances in therapy: prescribing LDAA for thiopurine-naive patients, and bypassing TGN monitoring in favor of clinical monitoring (blood counts, etc.), which will make it more accessible for clinics without access to TGN assays.

Abstract
Allopurinol is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of allopurinol to reverse the experimental cirrhosis induced by CCl4. Rats received CCl4 for 8 weeks, and immediately after allopurinol was administered for 4 weeks more. Allopurinol reversed all markers of liver damage and oxidative stress to normal values, restoring the metabolic capacity of the liver. Chronic injury by CCl4 induced significant overexpression of profibrogenic cytokine TGF-β, while allopurinol decreased this production and consequently decreased the collagen content. Moreover, allopurinol is capable of partially inhibiting NF-κB. These findings suggest that allopurinol is capable of reversing the cirrhosis induced by CCl4, modulating oxidative stress, TGF-β expression and NF-κB nuclear translocation.

Abstract
Allopurinol is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XO), and XO is an enzyme that generates great amounts of reactive oxygen species. The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of allopurinol to prevent experimental cirrhosis. Fibrosis and cirrhosis were induced by common bile duct ligation (BDL) for 4 weeks in rats. Animals were divided into 4 groups: sham-operated rats (SHAM); BDL group; BDL plus allopurinol (100 mg·kg⁻¹, p.o.), and SHAM plus allopurinol treatment. Alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase were increased in BDL rats but were preserved normal by allopurinol. XO activity was prevented by allopurinol; however, lipophilic and hydrophilic oxidative stress was not prevented by the drug. Allopurinol partially suppresses nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) nuclear translocation and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) expression, and increased the active form of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13). Moreover, collagen production induced by BDL was partially but significantly reduced by allopurinol. These findings suggest that allopurinol possesses a hepatoprotective effect probably by modulating proteins such as NF-κB, TGF-β, and MMP-13, helping to protect against liver damage induced by chronic cholestasis and a mechanism independent of oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this work was to evaluate the hepatoprotective ability of allopurinol to prevent the liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)). METHODS Acute liver damage was induced with CCl(4) (4g/kg, by gavage); allopurinol (50mg/kg, by gavage) was given 1h before and 1h after CCl(4) intoxication and two daily doses for the previous three days. Cirrhosis was established by CCl(4) administration (0.4g/kg, i. p. three times a week, eight weeks); allopurinol was administered (100mg/kg, by gavage, daily) during the long-term of CCl(4) treatment. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP), xanthine oxidase (XO), lipid peroxidation, reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH, GSSG, respectively), hydroxyproline and histopathologycal analysis were performed. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) were analyzed by Western blots. RESULTS Acute injury increased ALT and γ-GTP activities, additionally enhanced NF-κB nuclear translocation and cytokines production such as tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukine-1β, and interleukine-6. Allopurinol partially prevented these effects, while increased interleukine-10. Acute and chronic CCl(4) treatments altered the levels of XO activity, lipid peroxidation, and GSH/GSSG ratio, while these remained within normal range with allopurinol administration. Necrosis, fibrosis and TGF-β production induced in chronic injury were partially prevented by allopurinol, interestingly, this drug induced MMP-13 activity. CONCLUSIONS Allopurinol possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties, probably by its capacity to reduce NF-κB nuclear translocation and TGF-β expression, as well as to induce MMP-13. General significance Allopurinol might be effective treatment of liver diseases.

Abstract
In the present study, rat liver xanthine oxidase activity and its thermostability in the presence of pyridine were investigated. The activity of the enzyme was determined by following the formation of uric acid spectrophotometrically. The thermal stability of the enzyme was studied in the presence of 0.0%–2.0% of pyridine in Sorenson’s buffer. Thermal stability parameters (half-life, inactivation constant, and activation energies for enzyme inactivation), thermodynamic constants (ΔH*, ΔS*, and ΔG*) and the kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax), were determined in pyridine-free and pyridine-containing buffer solution. A dramatic reduction was observed in xanthine oxidase activity in the presence of pyridine. However, the pyridine-treated enzyme showed a marked enhancement in thermal stability compared with the native enzyme. The ΔG values for the enzyme activity in the presence of pyridine were found to be about 1.5-fold larger than that calculated for the native enzyme, indicating that the enzyme becomes kinetically more stable in the presence of pyridine. The Km value for xanthine oxidase in the presence of 0.5% pyridine increased by 4.8-fold compared with the enzyme in the pyridine-free buffer solution; however, there was 1.8-fold reduction in the Vmax value in the hydro-organic solution compared with the enzyme activity in the buffer solution. As the stability of enzymes is one of the most difficult problems in protein chemistry, this thermostability property of xanthine oxidase could be of great value in developing novel strategies to improve and expand its application in various areas.

Abstract
Quercetin is a natural flavonoid with many important therapeutic properties. The interaction of this polyphenolic compound bovine milk xanthine oxidase as one of its major target proteins was studied using fluorescence quenching method for the first time. It was found that the fluorescence quenching of xanthine oxidase occurs through a static mechanism. The results revealed the presence of a single binding site on xanthine oxidase with the binding constant value equals to 1.153 x 10(4) l mol(-1) at 310 K and pH 7.4. The thermodynamic parameters were also calculated at different temperatures. The enthalpy and entropy changes were found as -10.661 kJ mol(-1) and +43.321 J mol(-1) K(-1) indicating that both hydrogen binding and hydrophobic are involved in the interaction of this polyphenolic natural compound with xanthine oxidase. The results may provide a ground for further studies with different flavonoids to find a safe alternative for allopurinol, the only xanthine oxidase inhibitor with clinical application.
