Abstract
Acrylonitrile (AN) is a known animal carcinogen and suspected human carcinogen. Recently, occupational exposure to AN has considerably increased. Previously, we demonstrated that streptozotocin-induced diabetes potentiates AN-induced acute toxicity in rats and that the induced cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) is responsible for this effect. In the present study, we examined whether induction of CYP2E1 is also the underlying mechanism for the potentiation of AN-induced acute toxicity in type 2 diabetes in db/db mice. The effect of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in reducing potentiation was also investigated. The mice were randomly divided into the normal control, diabetic control, AN, diabetes + AN, PEITC + AN, and diabetes + PEITC + AN groups. PEITC (40 mg/kg) was orally administered to rats for 3 days, and 1 h after the last PEITC gavage, 45 mg/kg AN was intraperitoneally injected. Time to death was observed. The CYP2E1 level and enzymatic activity, cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) activity, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured. The survival rate was decreased in AN-treated db/db mice compared with that in AN-treated wild-type mice. The hepatic CYP2E1 level and enzymatic activity remained unaltered in db/db mice. Phenethyl isothiocyanate alleviated AN-induced acute toxicity in db/db mice as evident in the increased survival rate, restored CCO activity, and decreased ROS level in both the liver and brain. The study results suggested that CYP2E1 may not be responsible for the sensitivity to AN-induced acute toxicity in db/db mice and that PEITC reduced the potentiation of AN-induced acute toxicity in db/db mice.

Gallic Acid Ameliorated Impaired Lipid Homeostasis in a Mouse Model of High-Fat Diet-and Streptozotocin-Induced NAFLD and Diabetes through Improvement of β-oxidation and Ketogenesis.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is a simple polyphenol found in food and traditional Chinese medicine. Here, we determined the effects of GA administration in a combined mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and low-dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced hyperglycemia, which mimics the concurrent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes pathological condition. By combining the results of physiological assessments, pathological examinations, metabolomic studies of blood, urine, liver, and muscle, and measurements of gene expression, we attempted to elucidate the efficacy of GA and the underlying mechanism of action of GA in hyperglycemic and dyslipidemic mice. HFD and STZ induced severe diabetes, NAFLD, and other metabolic disorders in mice. However, the results of liver histopathology and serum biochemical examinations indicated that daily GA treatment alleviated the high blood glucose levels in the mice and decelerated the progression of NAFLD. In addition, our results show that the hepatoprotective effect of GA in diabetic mice occurs in part through a partially preventing disordered metabolic pathway related to glucose, lipids, amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines. Specifically, the mechanism responsible for alleviation of lipid accumulation is related to the upregulation of β-oxidation and ketogenesis. These findings indicate that GA alleviates metabolic diseases through novel mechanisms.

Abstract
Some patients encounter hepatotoxicity after repeated acetaminophen (APAP) dosing even at therapeutic doses. In the present study, we focused on the diabetic state as one of the suggested risk factors of drug-induced liver injury in humans and investigated the contribution of accelerated gluconeogenesis to the susceptibility to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity using an animal model of type 2 diabetes patients. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and spontaneously diabetic torii (SDT) rats were each given APAP at 0 mg/kg, 300 and 500 mg/kg for 35 days by oral gavage. Plasma and urinary glutathione-related metabolites, liver function parameters, and hepatic glutathione levels were compared between the non-APAP-treated SDT and SD rats and between the APAP-treated SDT and SD rats. Hepatic function parameters were not increased at either dose level in the APAP-treated SD rats, but were increased at both dose levels in the APAP-treated SDT rats. Increases in hepatic glutathione levels attributable to the treatment of APAP were noted only in the APAP-treated SD rats. There were differences in the profiles of plasma and urinary glutathione-related metabolites between the non-APAP-treated SD and SDT rats and the plasma/urinary endogenous metabolite profile after treatment with APAP in the SDT rats indicated that hepatic glutathione synthesis was decreased due to accelerated gluconeogenesis. In conclusion, SDT rats were more sensitive to APAP-induced chronic hepatotoxicity than SD rats and the high susceptibility of SDT rats was considered to be attributable to lowered hepatic glutathione levels induced by accelerated gluconeogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetaminophen (APAP) is a readily available and safe painkiller. However, its overdose is the most common cause of acute liver injury (ALI). Many predisposing factors contribute to susceptibility to APAP-induced ALI. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the major cause of chronic liver disease, is considered an important predictor of APAP-induced ALI, although the exact mechanism controversial. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of NAFLD on APAP-induced ALI. METHODS Two groups of mice, normal chow (NC) diet-fed and fast food (FF) diet-fed mice for 14 weeks, were further divided into two subgroups: intraperitoneally injected with either saline (NC-S and FF-S groups) or APAP (NC-A and FF-A groups). Biochemical tests, histological analysis, quantitative PCR, and western blotting were conducted. RESULTS Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level (199.0 ± 39.0 vs. 63.8 ± 7.4 IU/L, p < 0.05) and NAFLD activity score (0 vs. 4.5 ± 0.22) were significantly higher in mice in FF-S group than those in NC-S group. ALI features such as ALT level (8447.8 ± 1185.3 vs. 836.6 ± 185.1 IU/L, p < 0.001) and centrizonal necrosis were prominent and mRNA levels of Trib3 (RR, 1.81) was high in mice in the NC-A group. Levels of CYP2E1 and anti-inflammatory molecules such as PPAR-γ, p62, and NRF2 were high in mice in the FF-A group. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that while the FF diet clearly induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and metabolic syndrome, NAFLD also attenuates APAP-induced ALI by inducing anti-inflammatory molecules such as PPAR-γ.

Abstract
The importance of 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in regulating glucose and fatty acid metabolism is increasing. Thus, it is regarded as a new pharmacological target for treatment of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In order to explore the relationships between AMPK and diabetes mellitus, urines samples from four groups of C57 mice, i.e., the normal male and female C57 mice, female C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice, and male C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice, were studied by coupling GC/MS with a powerful machine learning method, random forest. The experimentation has been designed as two steps: firstly, the normal male and female mice were compared with male and female C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice, respectively; then the differences between male C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice and female C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice were further detected. Finally, not only the differences between the normal C57 mice and C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice were observed, but also the gender-related metabolites differences of the C57-AMPK gene knocked-out mice were obviously visualized. The results obtained with this research demonstrate that combining GC/MS profiling with random forest is a useful approach to analyze metabolites and to screen the potential biomarkers for exploring the relationships between AMPK and diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Clinical investigations suggest that hepatotoxicity after acetaminophen (APAP) overdose could be more severe in the context of obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The pre-existence of fat accumulation and CYP2E1 induction could be major mechanisms accounting for such hepatic susceptibility. To explore this issue, experiments were performed in obese diabetic ob/ob and db/db mice. Preliminary investigations performed in male and female wild-type, ob/ob, and db/db mice showed a selective increase in hepatic CYP2E1 activity in female db/db mice. However, liver triglycerides in these animals were significantly lower compared with ob/ob mice. Next, APAP (500 mg/kg) was administered in female wild-type, ob/ob, and db/db mice, and investigations were carried out 0.5, 2, 4, and 8 h after APAP intoxication. Liver injury 8 h after APAP intoxication was higher in db/db mice, as assessed by plasma transaminases, liver histology, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay. In db/db mice, however, the extent of hepatic glutathione depletion, levels of APAP-protein adducts, c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation, changes in gene expression, and mitochondrial DNA levels were not greater compared with the other genotypes. Furthermore, in the db/db genotype plasma lactate and β-hydroxybutyrate were not specifically altered, whereas the plasma levels of APAP-glucuronide were intermediary between wild-type and ob/ob mice. Thus, early APAP-induced hepatotoxicity was greater in db/db than ob/ob mice, despite less severe fatty liver and similar basal levels of transaminases. Hepatic CYP2E1 induction could have an important pathogenic role when APAP-induced liver injury occurs in the context of obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Acetaminophen overdose is the most frequent cause of acute liver failure. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic condition of the liver. The aim was to assess whether non-alcoholic steatosis sensitizes rat liver to acute toxic effect of acetaminophen. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a standard diet (ST-1, 10% kcal fat) and high-fat gelled diet (HFGD, 71% kcal fat) for 6 weeks and then acetaminophen was applied in a single dose (1 g/kg body weight). Animals were killed 24, 48 and 72 h after acetaminophen administration. Serum biochemistry, activities of mitochondrial complexes, hepatic malondialdehyde, reduced and oxidized glutathione, triacylglycerol and cholesterol contents, and concentrations of serum and liver cytokines (TNF-α, TGF-β1) were measured and histopathological samples were prepared. RESULTS The degree of liver inflammation and hepatocellular necrosis were significantly higher in HFGD fed animals after acetaminophen administration. Serum markers of liver injury were elevated only in acetaminophen treated HFGD fed animals. Concentration of hepatic reduced glutathione and ratio of reduced/oxidized glutathione were decreased in both ST-1 and HFGD groups at 24 h after acetaminophen application. Mild oxidative stress induced by acetaminophen was confirmed by measurement of malondialdehyde. Liver content of TNF-α was not significantly altered, but hepatic TGF-β1 was elevated in acetaminophen treated HFGD rats. We did not observe acetaminophen-induced changes in activities of respiratory complexes I, II, and IV and activity of caspase-3. CONCLUSION Liver from rats fed HFGD is more susceptible to acute toxic effect of acetaminophen, compared to non-steatotic liver.

Abstract
Certain disease conditions can modify drug-induced toxicities, which, in turn, may cause a medication-related health crisis. Therefore, preclinical investigations into the alterations in drug-induced toxicities using appropriate disease animal models are very important. This paper reviews the reported data related to the effects of diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia, common lifestyle-related diseases in a modern society, on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats and mice. It has generally been reported that diabetes protects rats and mice from APAP-induced hepatotoxicity and there are several reports that help to speculate on the effects of diabetes on APAP-induced nephrotoxicity. In fructose-induced hypertriglyceridemic rats, hepatotoxicity of APAP becomes apparently less severe, whereas nephrotoxicity of APAP becomes significantly more severe. The mechanisms of alteration of APAP-induced hepatorenal toxicity under diabetic and hypertriglyceridemic conditions are also discussed in this paper.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the roles of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in development of liver steatosis.
METHODS: The differential expressions of ERS and lipid metabolism related genes in the liver of T2DM and non-T2DM mice were analyzed using real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), free fatty acid (FFA), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) levels were determined. The liver TG, FFA content and morphology were also analyzed.
RESULTS: Compared with non-T2DM, T2DM mice had manifestations: (1) Insulin Resistance, increased fasting blood glucose (increased 30.76 ± 4.52 vs 12.80 ± 2.13, 14.73 ± 2.74 vs 4.61 ± 1.12); (2) obviously elevated liver TG and FFA levels (P < 0.01); marked lesion of fatty liver was observed. (3) Up-regulated liver glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78), X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), mannosidase alpha-like 1 (EDEM1), glycogen synthase kinase3β (GSK3β), apolipoprotein100 (apoB100), sterol regulatory element binding proteins1c (SREBP1c), acetyl CoA carboxylase α (ACCα) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA levels (P < 0.05). (4) Significantly increased serum TG, TC, LDL-C, FFA, ALT and AST (P < 0.01). Serum apoB100 was first increased and then decreased (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: ERS plays a central role in the development of liver steatosis in the T2DM mouse through increased lipogenesis and decreased secretion of apoB100.

Abstract
Treatment with hepatotoxicants such as acetaminophen (APAP) causes resistance to a second, higher dose of the same toxicant (autoprotection). APAP induces hepatic mRNA and protein levels of the multidrug resistance-associated proteins (Mrp) transporters in mice and humans. Basolateral efflux transporters Mrp3 and Mrp4 are the most significantly induced. We hypothesized that upregulation of Mrp3 and Mrp4 is one mechanism by which hepatocytes become resistant to a subsequent higher dose of APAP by limiting accumulation of xeno-, endobiotics, and byproducts of hepatocellular injury. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Mrp3 and Mrp4 expression in proliferating hepatocytes in a mouse model of APAP autoprotection. Plasma and livers were collected from male C57BL/6J mice treated with APAP 400 mg/kg for determination of hepatotoxicity and protein expression. Maximal Mrp3 and Mrp4 induction occurred 48 h after APAP. Mrp4 upregulation occurred selectively in proliferating hepatocytes. Additional groups of APAP-pretreated mice were challenged 48 h later with a second, higher dose of APAP. APAP-pretreated mice had reduced hepatotoxicity after APAP challenge compared to those pretreated with vehicle. A more rapid recovery of glutathione (GSH) in APAP-pretreated mice corresponded with increases in GSH synthetic enzymes. Interestingly, mice pretreated and challenged with APAP had dramatic increases in Mrp4 expression as well as enhanced hepatocyte proliferation. Inhibition of hepatocyte replication with colchicine not only restored sensitivity of APAP-pretreated mice to injury, but also blocked Mrp4 induction. Mrp4 overexpression may be one phenotypic property of proliferating hepatocytes that protects against subsequent hepatotoxicant exposure by mechanisms that are presently unknown.

Abstract
Increase dincidences of hepatotoxicity have been observed in diabetic patients receiving drug therapies. Neither the mechanisms nor the predisposing factors underlying hepatotoxicity in diabetics are clearly understood. Animal studies designed to examine the mechanisms of diabetes-modulated hepatotoxicity have traditionally focused only on bioactivation/detoxification of drugs and toxicants. It is becoming clear that once injury is initiated, additional events determine the final outcome of liver injury. Foremost among them are two leading mechanisms: first, biochemical mechanisms that lead to progression or regression of injury; and second, whether or not timely and adequate liver tissue repair occurs to mitigate injury and restore liver function. The liver has a remarkable ability to repair and restore its structure and function after physical or chemical-induced damage. The dynamic interaction between biotransformation-based liver injury and compensatory tissue repair plays a pivotal role in determining the ultimate outcome of hepatotoxicity initiated by drugs or toxicants. In this review, mechanisms underlying altered hepatotoxicity in diabetes with emphasis on both altered bioactivation and liver tissue repair are discussed. Animal models of both marked sensitivity (diabetic rats) and equally marked protection (diabetic mice) from drug-induced hepatotoxicity are described. These examples represent a remarkable species difference. Availability of the rodent diabetic models offers a unique opportunity to uncover mechanisms of clinical interest in averting human diabetic sensitivity to drug-induced hepatotoxicities. While the rat diabetic models appear to be suitable, the diabetic mouse models might not be suitable in preclinical testing for potential hepatotoxic effects of drugs or toxicants, because regardless of type 1 or type2 diabetes, mice are resistant to acute drug-or toxicant-induced toxicities.

Abstract
Many hepatotoxicants like acetaminophen, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, halothane, and thioacetamide cause hepatotoxicity through covalent binding of their reactive metabolites to proteins. The covalent binding to proteins may lead to dysfunction of critical proteins such as enzymes, transporters, receptors, and regulatory molecules. Because most reactive metabolites covalently bind to tissue macromolecules and tend to be unstable, they can not be isolated, and direct quantitation of the formation of reactive metabolites is not possible. Measuring their covalent binding to proteins offers a convenient way to estimate the amount of reactive metabolite formation. Such estimates have been used to quantify the bioactivation-based injury due to such hepatotoxicants. There are various methods by which covalent binding may be measured. This unit describes a protocol in which a radiolabeled compound can be utilized to measure covalent binding. Alternate protocols involve immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. The time and method of measuring covalent binding play an important role in the evaluation.

Abstract
Thioacetamide (TA) is bioactivated by CYP2E1 to TA sulfoxide (TASO), and to the highly reactive sulfdioxide (TASO(2)), which initiates hepatic necrosis by covalent binding. Previously, we have established that TA exhibits saturation toxicokinetics over a 12-fold dose range, which explains the lack of dose-response for bioactivation-based liver injury. In vivo and in vitro studies indicated that the second step (TASO-->TASO(2)) of TA bioactivation is less efficient than the first one (TA-->TASO). The objective of the present study was to specifically test the saturation of the second step of TA bioactivation by directly administering TASO, which obviates the contribution from first step, i.e. TA-->TASO. Male SD rats were injected with low (50mg/kg, ip), medium (100mg/kg) and high (LD(70), 200mg/kg) doses of TASO. Bioactivation-mediated liver injury that occurs in the initial time points (6 and 12h), estimated by plasma ALT, AST and liver histopathology over a time course, was not dose-proportional. Escalation of liver injury thereafter was dose dependent: low dose injury subsided; medium dose injury escalated upto 36h before declining; high dose injury escalated from 24h leading to 70% mortality. TASO was quantified in plasma by HPLC at various time points after administration of the three doses. With increasing dose (i.e., from 50 to 200mg/kg), area under the curve (AUC) and C(max) increased more than dose proportionately, indicating that TASO bioactivation exhibits saturable kinetics. Toxicokinetics and initiation of liver injury of TASO are similar to that of TA, although TASO-initiated injury occurs at lower doses. These findings indicate that bioactivation of TASO to its reactive metabolite is saturable in the rat as suggested by previous studies with TA.

Abstract
Objective of the present study was to test the importance of tissue repair in the final outcome of S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC)-induced nephrotoxicity using colchicine (CLC) intervention. Male Swiss Webster (SW) mice were administered a normally nonlethal dose of DCVC (30 mg/kg, i.p.) on day 0 and CLC (2 mg/kg, i.p.) at 42 and 66 h after administration of DCVC. The mice were observed for mortality and various renal injury and repair parameters were studied during a time course of 0-14 days. Administration of 30 mg DCVC/kg led to loss of renal architecture by day 1, which sustained until day 5, and regressed thereafter to reach normal architecture by day 10 resulting in 100% survival. Renal dysfunction as assessed by increases in plasma BUN and creatinine levels was concordant during this time course. Urinary volume increased significantly between days 10 and 14 with significant increases in urinary glucose concentrations on days 1-4. Calpain leakage increased from day 1 and remained so until day 5 before declining at later time points. In contrast, CLC intervention led to marked inhibition of S-phase DNA synthesis and 100% mortality by 120 h. H&E sections of kidneys revealed loss of renal architecture on day 1 which progressively worsened from day 2 to 4. Polyuria and glycosuria were evident during the first 2 and 3 days, respectively. Calpain immunohistochemistry revealed progressive leakage of calpain in the extracellular space during 2-4 days which lead to increased renal injury as evident from significant increases in calpain specific breakdown products (CSBPs) of alpha-fodrin during the same period of time. The group of mice receiving 2 mg CLC/kg alone showed a significant increase in urinary creatinine concentration on day 5. Neither the expression nor localization of aquaporin 1 was altered in any of the treatment groups. These results show that antimitotic intervention after DCVC-initiated renal injury leads to expansion and progression of that injury, which appears to be due to proteolytic destruction of neighboring cells mediated by calpain leaking out of necrosed renal tubular epithelial cells.
