Wogonin mitigates acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice through inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 332:118364. [PMID: 38763368 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Wogonin is one of the primary bioactive components of SBG. Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI) represents a prevalent form of drug-induced liver damage and is primarily driven by inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. AIM OF STUDY To investigate the therapeutic effects of Wogonin on AILI and the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS C57BL/6 J mice were pre-treated with Wogonin (1, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg bodyweight) for 3 days, followed by treatment with APAP (300 mg/kg bodyweight). The serum and liver tissue samples were collected at 24 h post-APAP treatment. Bone marrow-derived macrophages and RAW264.7 cells were cultured and pre-treated with Wogonin (5, 10, and 20 μM) for 30 min, followed by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 100 ng/mL) for 3 h. To examine the role of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in the therapeutic effect of Wogonin on AILI, mice and cells were treated with LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) and MK2206 (an AKT inhibitor). RESULTS Wogonin pre-treatment dose-dependently alleviated AILI in mice. Additionally, Wogonin suppressed oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Liver transcriptome analysis indicated that Wogonin primarily regulates immune function and cytokines in AILI. Wogonin suppressed inflammatory responses of macrophages by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Consistently, Wogonin exerted therapeutic effects on AILI in mice through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS Wogonin alleviated AILI and APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 331:118282. [PMID: 38701935 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The Sang Yu granule (SY), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription of Xijing Hospital, was developed based on the Guanyin powder in the classical prescription "Hong's Collection of Proven Prescriptions" and the new theory of modern Chinese medicine. It has been proved to have a certain therapeutic effect on drug-induced liver injury (DILI), but the specific mechanism of action is still unclear. AIM OF STUDY Aim of the study was to explore the effect of SangYu granule on treating drug-induced liver injury induced by acetaminophen in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The chemical composition of SY, serum, and liver tissue was analyzed using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. To assess hepatic function, measurements were taken using kits for total bile acids, as well as serum AST, ALT, and ALP activity. Concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α in serum were quantified using ELISA kits. Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis and 2bRAD-M microbial diversity analysis were employed to evaluate gene expression variance in liver tissue and fecal microbiota diversity among different groups, respectively. Western blotting was performed to observe differences in the activation levels of FXR, SHP, CYP7A1 and PPARα in the liver, and the levels of FXR and FGF-15 genes and proteins in the ileum of mice. Additionally, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) experiments were conducted to investigate the potential therapeutic effect of administering the intestinal microbial suspension from mice treated with SY on drug-induced liver injury. RESULTS SY treatment exhibited significant hepatoprotective effects in mice, effectively ameliorating drug-induced liver injury while concurrently restoring intestinal microbial dysbiosis. Furthermore, SY administration demonstrated a reduction in the concentration of total bile acids, the expression of FXR and SHP proteins in the liver was up-regulated, CYP7A1 protein was down-regulated, and the expressions of FXR and FGF-15 proteins in the ileum were up-regulated. However, no notable impact on PPARα was observed. Furthermore, results from FMT experiments indicated that the administration of fecal suspensions derived from mice treated with SY did not yield any therapeutic benefits in the context of drug-induced liver injury. CONCLUSION The aforementioned findings strongly suggest that SY exerts a pronounced ameliorative effect on drug-induced liver injury through its ability to modulate the expression of key proteins involved in bile acid secretion, thereby preserving hepato-enteric circulation homeostasis.

Abstract
Antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) is a major adverse effect during antituberculosis treatment. Early detection or prediction is essential to prevent ATLI in antituberculosis treatment patients. The purpose of this work is to explore the relationship between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) trajectories within 15 days of initial treatment and the risk of ATLI. Based on a historical cohort of patients hospitalized for antituberculosis treatment and group-based trajectory modeling analysis, ALT trajectories within 15 days of initial treatment were determined. Conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate the association between different ALT trajectories and the risk of ATLI, and the corresponding odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated with covariates. Based on the ALT levels within 15 days of initial treatment, a total of 853 patients were divided into four ALT trajectories. The incidence of ATLI significantly increased with the increase of ALT trajectories (2.33%, 4.38%, 5.90%, and 2.44%, respectively). Compared with trajectory 1, the adjusted OR for ATLI in trajectory 2, trajectory 3, and trajectory 4 were 2.448 (95% CI: 0.302-19.856, P = 0.402), 5.373 (95% CI: 0.636-45.411, P = 0.123), 11.010 (95% CI: 0.720-168.330, P = 0.085), respectively, and there was an increasing trend of ATLI risk (Ptrend = 0.015). Different ALT trajectories within 15 days of initial treatment were associated with different risk of ATLI, and it is necessary to pay attention to the ALT trajectory within 15 days of initial treatment to predict the occurrence of ATLI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The use of corticosteroids in chronic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important issue. Our previous randomized controlled trial showed that patients with chronic DILI benefited from a 48-week steroid stepwise reduction (SSR) regimen. However, it remains unclear whether a shorter course of therapy can achieve similar efficacy. In this study, we aimed to assess whether a 36-week SSR can achieve efficacy similar to that of 48-week SSR. METHODS A randomized open-label trial was performed. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to the 36- or 48-week (1:1) SSR group. Liver biopsies were performed at baseline and at the end of treatment. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with relapse rate (RR). The secondary outcomes were improvement in liver histology and safety. RESULTS Of the 90 participants enrolled, 84 (87.5%) completed the trial, and 62 patients (68.9%) were women. Hepatocellular damage was observed in 53.4% of the cohort. The RR was 7.1% in the 36-week SSR group but 4.8% in the 48-week SSR group, as determined by per-protocol set analysis (p = 1.000). Significant histological improvements in histological activity (93.1% vs. 92.9%, p = 1.000) and fibrosis (41.4% vs. 46.4%, p = .701) were observed in both the groups. Biochemical normalization time did not differ between the two groups. No severe adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Both the 36- and 48-week SSR regimens demonstrated similar biochemical response and histological improvements with good safety, supporting 36-week SSR as a preferable therapeutic choice (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03266146).

Abstract
Phthalates can induce hepatotoxicity in animal studies. We aimed to assess the associations of individual and mixture of urinary phthalate metabolites with serum liver function indicators among 764 women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). In linear models, we observed inverse correlations between urinary mono-benzyl phthalate and serum total protein (TP) as well as globulin (β=-0.27 and -0.23, respectively, P<0.05). Additionally, negative associations were identified between mono-isobutyl phthalate and mono-butyl phthalate (MBP) and aspartate aminotransferase-to-alanine transaminase ratio (AST/ALT) (P<0.05). MBP and the sum of all phthalate metabolites (∑all.phth.m) were positively associated with bilirubin, with β ranging from 0.14 to 0.47. Most phthalate metabolites were also positively related to gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) (all P<0.05). In Bayesian kernel machine regression models, phthalate mixture was positively associated with bilirubin and GGT, whereas inversely associated with AST/ALT and TP. Our results suggest that phthalate exposure may impair liver function among women undergoing ART.

Abstract
AIM The diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is challenging. We modified the revised electronic version of the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) for the diagnosis of DILI (RECAM), the scoring system developed in US and Spanish cohorts in 2022, and developed RECAM-J 2023 to align with the clinical practice in Japan. In the current study, we introduce RECAM-J 2023 and verify its performance in the context of Japanese patients with DILI. METHODS After translation of RECAM into Japanese, modifications were made to develop RECAM-J 2023 without any alteration to the scores. To examine the validity and performance of RECAM-J 2023, clinical information on DILI and non-DILI cases in Japan were retrospectively collected. The diagnosis of DILI was made by expert's decision. Then we scored each case using RECAM-J 2023, and calculated area under curve (AUC) values for identification for DILI. RESULTS We collected data from 538 DILI and 128 non-DILI cases. The sum of highly probable (HP) and probable (PR) cases categorized by RECAM-J 2023 were only 206 (38%) in DILI cases. As the primary cause of low scores was the deduction with missing hepatitis virus markers, which is unlikely to be an issue in prospective applications, we rescored without these deductions. At this time, the sum of HP and PR was raised to 421 (78%). The AUCs of RECAM-J 2023 without deductions were 0.70 and 0.88 for identifying at least HP, and at least PR, respectively. CONCLUSION RECAM-J 2023, when prospectively used without any missing hepatitis virus markers, provides acceptable performance for identifying at least PR DILI cases in Japanese daily clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the prolongation of human life expectancy and the outbreak of COVID-19, antineoplastic agents, anti-infective drugs, and cardiovascular system drugs have been widely applied, resulting in a growing incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) year by year. This study aimed to investigate signals, clinical characteristics, and risk factors in patients with liver injury. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on inpatients clinically diagnosed with DILI from 2019 to 2021 in one tertiary hospital in mainland China. The hepatic biochemical indices, clinical manifestations and suspected drugs of the patients were counted. We determined causality assessed by the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method in patients that the biochemistry met the diagnostic criteria recommended by the International Serious Adverse Events Consortium and compared them with contemporaneous patients diagnosed as DILI but with hepatic biochemical abnormalities only to identify the injure types and risk factors for DILI. FINDINGS A total of 1167 patients from 2639 initial participants with DILI were included. According to the injured target cells, it can be divided into hepatocellular injury type 351 cases (30.08%), cholestatic injury type 97 cases (8.31%), mixed injury type 27 cases (2.31%), and biochemical abnormal only type 692 cases (59.30%). It involved 1738 cases of suspected drugs, 349 drugs, and the top 3 drug categories were antineoplastic agents, anti-infectives, and traditional Chinese medicines, with Cyclophosphamide, Atorvastatin, and Liuzasulfapyridine as the top 3 in order of ranking. The main symptoms of patients were darker urine, decreased appetite, and yellow sclera. The overall prognosis of patients with DILI was favorable, with 280 recovered cases (23.99%), 691 improved cases (59.21%), 189 not improved cases (16.20%), and 7 deaths (0.60%). There were significant differences in gender, age, malignancy, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, gamma-glutamyltransferase, albumin, international normalized ratio, and prognosis among patients with different injury types (P < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that female (odds ratio [OR] = 1.897, P < 0.001), alcohol use (OR = 1.905, P = 0.001), malignancy (OR = 0.417, P < 0.001), and pregnancy (OR = 0.201, P = 0.011) were independent factors influencing DILI. IMPLICATIONS For most patients with liver injury, the manifestations are mild elevation of liver biochemistry without other symptoms (biochemical abnormal only type). The rest of the patients are predominantly of the hepatocellular injury type. Female and alcohol abuse patients are the risk factors of DILI, reminding clinicians to strengthen education on safe drug use, give individualized treatment, and regularly monitor liver function indexes in the patients.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:11178.

Abstract
Although sevoflurane is generally considered safe, reports suggest that sevoflurane may cause postoperative liver injury more frequently than previously believed. Therefore, we aimed to compare the incidence of clinically significant postoperative liver injury following non-cardiac surgery between patients who underwent sevoflurane anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia. We retrospectively reviewed adult surgical patients from January 2010 to September 2022 who underwent general anesthesia in our center using sevoflurane or propofol over 3 h. After 1:1 propensity score matching, the incidence of postoperative liver injury was compared between the two groups. Out of 58,300 patients reviewed, 44,345 patients were included in the analysis. After propensity score matching, 7767 patients were included in each group. The incidence of postoperative liver injury was 1.4% in the sevoflurane group, which was similar to that in the propofol group (1.6%; p = 0.432). Comparison of the severity of postoperative alanine aminotransferase elevation showed that the incidence of borderline and mild elevation was higher in the sevoflurane group, but there was no difference in the incidence of moderate and severe elevation. In conclusion, sevoflurane anesthesia over 3 h was not associated with a higher incidence of clinically significant postoperative liver injury compared to propofol anesthesia.

Abstract
Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare and unpredictable form of hepatotoxicity. While its clinical course is usually benign, cases leading to liver transplantation or death can occur. Based on modern prospective registries, antimicrobials including antibiotics and antifungals are frequently implicated as common causes. Amoxicillin-clavulanate ranks as the most common cause for DILI in the Western World. Although the absolute risk of hepatotoxicity of these agents is low, as their usage is quite high, it is not uncommon for practitioners to encounter liver injury following the initiation of antibiotic or antifungal therapy. In this review article, mechanisms of hepatoxicity are presented. The adverse hepatic effects of well-established antibiotic and antifungal agents are described, including their frequency, severity, and pattern of injury and their HLA risks. We also review the drug labeling and prescription guidance from regulatory bodies, with a focus on individuals with hepatic impairment.

Abstract
Consumption of herbal products containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) is one of the major causes for hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS), a deadly liver disease. However, the crucial metabolic variation and biomarkers which can reflect these changes remain amphibious and thus to result in a lack of effective prevention, diagnosis and treatments against this disease. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of HSOS caused by PA exposure, and to translate metabolomics-derived biomarkers to the mechanism. In present study, cholic acid species (namely, cholic acid, taurine conjugated-cholic acid, and glycine conjugated-cholic acid) were identified as the candidate biomarkers (area under the ROC curve 0.968 [95% CI 0.908-0.994], sensitivity 83.87%, specificity 96.55%) for PA-HSOS using two independent cohorts of patients with PA-HSOS. The increased primary bile acid biosynthesis and decreased liver expression of farnesoid X receptor (FXR, which is known to inhibit bile acid biosynthesis in hepatocytes) were highlighted in PA-HSOS patients. Furtherly, a murine PA-HSOS model induced by senecionine (50 mg/kg, p.o.), a hepatotoxic PA, showed increased biosynthesis of cholic acid species via inhibition of hepatic FXR-SHP singling and treatment with the FXR agonist obeticholic acid restored the cholic acid species to the normal levels and protected mice from senecionine-induced HSOS. This work elucidates that increased levels of cholic acid species can serve as diagnostic biomarkers in PA-HSOS and targeting FXR may represent a therapeutic strategy for treating PA-HSOS in clinics.

Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute liver injury in hospitalized adults with acute kidney injury: a large multicenter study. Hepatol Int 2024:10.1007/s12072-023-10627-5. [PMID: 38698184 DOI: 10.1007/s12072-023-10627-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute liver injury (ALI) were associated with poor outcomes during hospitalization, respectively. However, the clinical outcome of AKI combined with ALI (AKI-ALI) remains unknown. The current study aimed to describe AKI-ALI's incidences, risk factors, and outcomes. METHODS The study population included patients aged 18-99 years with enough serum creatinine and liver testing hospitalized at 19 medical centers throughout China between 2000 and 2021. AKI was defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes and ALI was defined by the change of liver enzymes based on Asia Pacific Association of Study of Liver consensus guidelines. Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors for AKI-ALI, and a time-dependent Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to estimate the association between AKI-ALI and in-hospital mortality. RESULTS Among the 18,461 patients with AKI, 1689 (9.1%) combined with ALI. Male patients or those who have used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or vasopressors, and who have heart failure or shock, with higher AST or GGT values, were associated with an increased risk of AKI-ALI. Compared with AKI-nonALI, patients with AKI-ALI were at higher risk of in-hospitalized mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.54, 2.00). In addition, a stronger association between AKI-ALI and in-hospital mortality was found in those with lower AKI grades (p for interaction = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS ALI was not uncommon among patients with AKI, especially in patients who used vasopressors and had shock. This study highlights the association between AKI-ALI and a significantly increased risk of mortality. It suggests that dynamic monitoring of liver function is essential, particularly in patients with AST and GGT exceeding the normal upper limit, to improve the in-hospital prognosis of AKI patients.

Abstract
Antibiotics are among the most common causes of drug-induced liver injury worldwide. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and nitrofurantoin are the most common culprits while tetracyclines are a rare cause of liver injury. Among tetracyclines, minocycline has been reported more frequently than doxycycline, which is an extremely rare cause of drug-induced liver injury. We present a healthy 28-year-old male patient from rural United States who was taking doxycycline for Lyme disease. After five days of therapy, he developed nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and significant transaminitis consistent with a hepatocellular pattern of liver injury. After a thorough workup which ruled out other causes such as infection, autoimmune diseases, liver malignancy, and vascular, structural, and metabolic disorders, his liver injury was attributed to doxycycline. We reached the diagnosis also by demonstrating a consistent temporal association between doxycycline intake and liver injury and the patient recovered completely with the cessation of doxycycline. Recognition of doxycycline as a cause of drug-induced liver injury should be considered in patients utilizing this antibiotic. Doxycycline, unlike minocycline, has a short latency period. Early recognition and discontinuation of doxycycline in our patient resulted in the complete resolution of symptoms and transaminitis preventing further morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Data on positive rechallenge in idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are scarce. We aim to analyse the clinical presentation, outcome and drugs associated with positive rechallenge in two DILI registries. METHODS Cases from the Spanish and Latin American DILI registries were included. Demographics, clinical characteristics and outcome of cases with positive rechallenge according to CIOMS/RUCAM and current definitions were analysed. RESULTS Of 1418 patients with idiosyncratic DILI, 58 cases had positive rechallenge (4.1%). Patients with positive rechallenge had shorter duration of therapy (p=0.001) and latency (p=0.003). In patients with rechallenge, aspartate transaminase levels were increased (p=0.026) and showed a prolonged time to recovery (p=0.020), albeit no differences were seen in terms of fatal outcomes. The main drug implicated in rechallenge was amoxicillin-clavulanate (17%). The majority of re-exposure events were unintentional (71%). Using both existing definitions of positive rechallenge, there were four cases which exclusively fulfilled the current criteria and five which only meet the historical definition. All cases of positive rechallenge, irrespective of the pattern of damage, fulfilled the criteria of either alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥2 times ULN. CONCLUSIONS Episodes of rechallenge were characterised by shorter duration of therapy and latency, and longer time to resolution, but did not show an increased incidence of fatal outcome. Based on our findings, ALT ≥3 times ULN and/or ALP ≥2 times ULN, regardless of the pattern of damage, is proposed as a new definition of rechallenge in DILI.

Management of sotorasib-related adverse events and hepatotoxicities following anti-PD-(L)1 therapy: Experience with sotorasib in two French anti-cancer centers and practical guidance proposal. Lung Cancer 2024; 191:107789. [PMID: 38614068 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.107789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sotorasib is a first-in-class KRASG12C inhibitor that showed significant clinical activity in KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The most frequent grade 3 or 4 sotorasib-related adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (4-12 %) and hepatotoxicity (10.1-15.1 %). Data is lacking about the management of these AEs, especially in patients receiving sequential anti-PD-(L)1 and sotorasib therapy. Our aim was to report the management of grade ≥ 2 sotorasib-related AEs in real-world setting and to propose practical guidance for the management of grade ≥ 2 sotorasib-related AEs and more generally KRASG12C inhibitors-related AEs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records from all consecutive patients who initiated sotorasib through expanded access program in two French anti-cancer centers from January 1st 2021 to April 1st 2023 were reviewed to identify and grade sotorasib-related AEs, according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0., and to collect AEs management data. Patients were included in the analysis if they presented a grade ≥ 2 sotorasib-related AE. RESULTS From 57 patients identified, 21 met inclusion criteria including eighteen (86 %) who received sequential anti-PD-(L)1 and sotorasib therapy. Hepatotoxicity (76 %) and diarrhea (24 %) were the most common grade ≥ 2 sotorasib-related AEs. Among the 16 patients with a grade ≥ 2 hepatotoxicity, 12 (75 %) definitely discontinued sotorasib, among which 9 (56 %) after dose reductions and rechallenge, and five (32 %) received corticosteroids, allowing only one patient to resume sotorasib. Diarrhea and nausea were usually manageable and not associated with sotorasib discontinuation. We propose a step-by-step management practical guidance for sotorasib-related hepatotoxicity based on dose-reduction and careful monitoring. Liver biopsy is strongly encouraged for grade 3 and 4 hepatotoxicity to assess candidates for corticosteroids. DISCUSSION The experience with sotorasib might help better prevent, screen and manage sotorasib-related and other KRASG12C inhibitors-related AEs, particularly hepatotoxicity.

Network pharmacology and experimental validation of effects of total saponins extracted from Abrus cantoniensis Hance on acetaminophen-induced liver injury. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 324:117740. [PMID: 38219885 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117740] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Abrus cantoniensis Hance (AC), an abrus cantoniensis herb, is a Chinese medicinal herb used for the treatment of hepatitis. Total saponins extracted from AC (ACS) are a compound of triterpenoid saponins, which have protective properties against both chemical and immunological liver injuries. Nevertheless, ACS has not been proven to have an influence on drug-induced liver injury (DILI). AIM OF THE STUDY This study used network pharmacology and experiments to investigate the effects of ACS on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS The targets associated with ACS and DILI were obtained from online databases. Cytoscape software was utilized to construct a "compound-target" network. In addition, Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to analyze the related signaling pathways impacted by ACS. AutoDock Vina was utilized to evaluate the binding affinity between bioactive compounds and the key targets. To validate the findings of network pharmacology, in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted. Cell viability assay, transaminase activity detection, immunofluorescence assay, immunohistochemistry staining, RT-qPCR, and western blotting were utilized to explore the effects of ACS. RESULTS 25 active compounds and 217 targets of ACS were screened, of which 94 common targets were considered as potential targets for ACS treating APAP-induced liver injury. GO and KEGG analyses showed that the effects of ACS exert their effects on liver injury through suppressing inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Molecular docking results demonstrated that core active compounds of ACS were successfully docked to core targets such as CASP3, BCL2L1, MAPK8, MAPK14, PTGS2, and NOS2. In vitro experiments showed that ACS effectively attenuated APAP-induced damage through suppressing transaminase activity and attenuating apoptosis. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrated that ACS alleviated pathological changes in APAP-treated mice and attenuated inflammatory response. Additionally, ACS downregulated the expression of iNOS, COX2, and Caspase-3, and upregulated the expression of Bcl-2. ACS also suppressed the MAPK signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that ACS is a hepatoprotective drug through the combination of network pharmacology and in vitro and in vivo experiments. The findings reveal that ACS effectively attenuate APAP-induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation through inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway. Consequently, this research offers novel evidence supporting the potential preventive efficacy of ACS.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening disease. Besides intrinsic DILI, which is mainly caused by paracetamol overdosing and which is dose-dependent and predictable, there is idiosyncratic DILI-an unpredictable and dose-independent injury of the liver caused by certain medications that only occurs in a minority of patients taking this drug. The reason why some patients react with DILI towards a specific drug is still unknown. However, the immune system plays a central role, which is underlined by the association of certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms and DILI caused by specific drug classes. Due to the immunological processes that lead to the liver injury in DILI, there are great overlaps regarding laboratory and histological parameters between DILI and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Differentiating DILI and AIH can therefore be challenging, especially at the time of presentation. In addition, there are other immunologically mediated DILI phenotypes, in particular the newly defined drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis (DI-ALH) and liver injuries caused by checkpoint inhibitors (CPI). DI-ALH is characterized by autoimmune features and good responses towards corticosteroids, with the difference that DI-ALH mostly does not relapse after discontinuation of corticosteroids. CPI-induced liver injury has become more frequent with the rising use of those drugs and is characterized by a distinct histopathological pattern with granulomatous hepatitis and infiltration dominated by cytotoxic T cells. Similarly, the recently recognized liver injury following vaccinations also shows an autoimmune phenotype; however, in contrast to AIH, cytotoxic T cells seem to dominate the inflammatory infiltrates in the liver.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important adverse drug reaction that can lead to acute liver failure or even death in severe cases. Currently, the diagnosis of DILI still follows the strategy of exclusion. Therefore, a detailed history taking and a thorough and careful exclusion of other potential causes of liver injury is the key to correct diagnosis. This guideline was developed based on evidence-based medicine provided by the latest research advances and aims to provide professional guidance to clinicians on how to identify suspected DILI timely and standardize the diagnosis and management in clinical practice. Based on the clinical settings in China, the guideline also specifically focused on DILI in chronic liver disease, drug-induced viral hepatitis reactivation, common causing agents of DILI (herbal and dietary supplements, anti-tuberculosis drugs, and antineoplastic drugs), and signal of DILI in clinical trials and its assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of cabozantinib has attracted interest in various solid tumors. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with cabozantinib in the patients with cancer. METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched for published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to September 9, 2023. The mainly outcomes were all-grade and grade ≥3 elevation of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). All data were pooled using fixed-effect or random-effects models according to the heterogeneity of the included RCTs. RESULTS Among the 922 records identified, 8 RCTs incorporating 2613 patients with cancer were included. For patients receiving cabozantinib, the relative risks of all-grade AST elevation (RR, 2.63; 95% CI, 2.16-3.20, P < 0.001), all-grade ALT elevation (RR, 2.89; 95% CI, 2.31-3.60, P < 0.001), grade ≥3 AST elevation (RR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.34-3.83, P = 0.002), and grade ≥3 ALT elevation (RR, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.65-7.01, P < 0.001) were higher than those of patients who did not receive cabozantinib group. Further subgroup analysis showed that the relative risk of hepatotoxicity associated with cabozantinib was higher than that in the other TKIs (erlotinib, sunitinib, and sorafenib) and the non-TKI drug groups (everolimus, prednisone, mitoxantrone, and paclitaxel). CONCLUSIONS Compared with other solid tumor drugs, such as everolimus, sorafenib, sunitinib, paclitaxel, mitoxantrone-prednisone et al., cabozantinib has a higher risk of hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Amoxycillin/clavulanic acid is the most common antimicrobial cause of drug-induced liver injury in adults. It is a less common cause of severe drug-related hepatotoxicity in children despite its frequent use. We studied the incidence, characteristics and predictive factors for amoxycillin/clavulanic acid hepatoxicity in children. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of children who received oral or intravenous amoxycillin/clavulanic acid at a quaternary children's hospital over a 5-year period. Children were included if they had liver function tests (LFTs) determined at baseline, during and within 3 months after the treatment course. Causality was assessed using the Naranjo criteria for adverse drug reactions and Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method. RESULTS Of 3271 children prescribed amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, 374 were included. Forty-nine (13%) had LFT abnormalities related to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid. Fourteen (3.6%) fulfilled Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 criteria with clinically significant hepatotoxicity. Age <2 years, sepsis, post-gastrointestinal surgical indications, prolonged treatment course of >7 days and higher cumulative amoxycillin (>10 g) and clavulanic acid dose (>1 g) were predictive of hepatotoxicity. The median time to resolution of LFT abnormalities was 4 weeks (range 3-7). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of amoxycillin/clavulanic acid related LFT abnormalities (CTCAE Grade 2 or above) in children was 3.6%. A prolonged treatment course >7 days, high cumulative amoxycillin (10 g) and clavulanic acid (>1 g) doses, those aged <2 years, and patients with sepsis or post-gastrointestinal surgery were predictive of a higher likelihood of abnormal LFTs. LFT monitoring should be considered in children receiving ≥7 days of treatment, particularly in those with other predisposing factors.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major problem in the United States, commonly leading to hospital admission. Diagnosing DILI is difficult as it is a diagnosis of exclusion requiring a temporal relationship between drug exposure and liver injury and a thorough work up for other causes. In addition, DILI has a very variable clinical and histologic presentation that can mimic many different etiologies of liver disease. Objective scoring systems can assess the probability that a drug caused the liver injury but liver biopsy findings are not part of the criteria used in these systems. This review will address some of the recent updates to the scoring systems and the role of liver biopsy in the diagnosis of DILI.

Abstract
As part of supportive therapy, prophylaxis with tiopronin for injection (TI) against common hepatotoxicity complications has often been used. However, methods to prevent hepatotoxicity have not been established. Therefore, our study was aimed to find out the relationship between the periods of TI prophylaxis and post-treatment hepatotoxicity, and evaluated the value of prolonging the duration of TI administration in preventing hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity was detected through liver transaminases, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and clinical features of liver insufficiency. Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to examine the association of the periods of TI prophylaxis and post-treatment hepatotoxicity. Between January 2022 and March 2023, a total of 452 patients with gynecological cancer were enrolled in the study, of which 93 (20.58%) participants were post-treatment hepatotoxicity positive. TI with different prevention days were no significant difference among participants with or without post-treatment hepatotoxicity in crude model (P > 0.05). The P-value, the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of participants with TI prophylaxis for 1 day for post-treatment hepatotoxicity were 0.040, 3.534 (1.061-11.765) in fully adjusted model. Past history of hepatotoxicity is a confounding variable, and there was no significant difference for post-treatment hepatotoxicity when stratified by past history of hepatotoxicity (P > 0.05). The study indicate that the periods of TI prophylaxis is not associated with post-treatment hepatotoxicity, suggesting that prolonged the periods of TI prophylaxis might be an invalid method for the prevention of post-treatment hepatotoxicity.

Association between Urinary Haloacetic Acid Concentrations and Liver Injury among Women: Results from the Tongji Reproductive and Environmental (TREE) Study. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES 2024; 132:17006. [PMID: 38261302 PMCID: PMC10805132 DOI: 10.1289/ehp13386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental studies have shown that disinfection byproducts (DBPs) including haloacetic acids (HAAs) can cause liver toxicity, but evidence linking this association in humans is sparse. OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the associations between HAA exposures and liver injury. METHODS We included 922 women between December 2018 and January 2020 from the Tongji Reproductive and Environmental (TREE) cohort study in Wuhan, China. Urinary HAA concentrations including trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) and serum indicators of liver function, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) were measured. Liver injury was defined as if any of serum indicator levels were above the 90th percentile. Multivariate logistic and linear regression models were fitted to assess the associations of urinary HAA concentrations with the risk of liver injury and liver function indicators. Stratified analyses by age, body mass index (BMI), alcohol use, and passive smoking were also applied to evaluate the potential effect modifiers. RESULTS There is little evidence of associations of urinary TCAA concentrations with liver injury risk and liver function indicators. However, urinary DCAA concentrations were associated with a higher risk of liver injury [odds ratios (OR) for 1-interquartile range (IQR) increase in natural log (ln) transformed DCAA concentrations: 1.45; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07, 1.98]. This association was observed only among nondrinkers (p interaction = 0.058 ). We also found that a 1-IQR increase in ln-transformed DCAA concentrations was positively associated with ALT levels (percentage change = 6.06 % ; 95% CI: 0.48%, 11.95%) and negatively associated with AST/ALT (percentage change = - 4.48 % ; 95% CI: - 7.80 % , - 1.04 % ). In addition, urinary DCAA concentrations in relation to higher GGT levels was observed only among passive smokers (p interaction = 0.040 ). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that exposure to DCAA but not TCAA is associated with liver injury among women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP13386.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of transaminitis in pregnancy. A 34-year-old G3P2012 presented 3 weeks postpartum for preeclampsia with severe features. After receiving acute antihypertensive medications, she was discharged home with labetalol. She presented 5 months later with general malaise, scleral icterus, nausea, and mild right upper quadrant pain and found to have significantly elevated transaminitis. She had a negative infectious, autoimmune, biliary, and steatohepatitis workup. A liver biopsy was performed supporting the diagnosis of DILI. After patient self-discontinued labetalol, her hepatitis significantly improved. However, she developed chronic DILI and liver enzymes normalized during her subsequent pregnancy at 34 weeks. Patient's written consent was obtained for this case report. Chronic DILI secondary to labetalol use is a rare and potentially fatal condition that should be considered on the differential for transaminitis during pregnancy and postpartum period.

Liver biopsy for assessment of suspected drug-induced liver injury in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis clinical trials: Expert consensus from the Liver Forum. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2024; 59:201-216.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Causality assessment of suspected drug-induced liver injury (DILI) during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) clinical trials can be challenging, and liver biopsies are not routinely performed as part of this evaluation. While the field is moving away from liver biopsy as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, information not identified by non-invasive testing may be provided on histology. AIM To address the appropriate utilisation of liver biopsy as part of DILI causality assessment in this setting. METHODS From 2020 to 2022, the Liver Forum convened a series of webinars on issues pertaining to liver biopsy during MASH trials. The Histology Working Group was formed to generate a series of consensus documents addressing these challenges. This manuscript focuses on liver biopsy as part of DILI causality assessment. RESULTS Expert opinion, guidance and recommendations on the role of liver biopsy as part of causality assessment of suspected DILI occurring during clinical trials for a drug(s) being developed for MASH are provided. Lessons learned from prior MASH programs are reviewed and gaps identified. CONCLUSIONS Although there are no pathognomonic features, histologic evaluation of suspected DILI during MASH clinical trials may alter patient management, define the pattern and severity of injury, detect findings that favour a diagnosis of DILI versus MASH progression, identify prognostic features, characterise the clinicopathological phenotype of DILI, and/or define lesions that influence decisions about trial discontinuation and further development of the drug.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 122:155142. [PMID: 37913641 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most challenging and thought-provoking liver problem for hepatologists owing to unregulated medication usage in medical practices, nutritional supplements, and botanicals. Due to underreporting, analysis, and identification issues, clinically evaluated medication hepatotoxicity is prevalent yet hard to quantify. PURPOSE This review's primary objective is to thoroughly compare pharmaceutical drugs and herbal compounds that have undergone clinical trials, focusing on their metabolic mechanisms contributing to the onset of liver illnesses and their hepatoprotective effects. METHODS The data was gathered from several online sources, such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, using appropriate keywords. RESULTS The prevalence of conventional and herbal medicine is rising. A comprehensive understanding of the metabolic mechanism is necessary to mitigate the hepatotoxicity induced by drugs and facilitate the incorporation or substitution of herbal medicine instead of pharmaceuticals. Moreover, pre-clinical pharmacological research has the potential to facilitate the development of natural products as therapeutic agents, displaying promising possibilities for their eventual clinical implementation. CONCLUSIONS Acetaminophen, isoniazid, rifampicin, diclofenac, and pyrogallol have been identified as the most often reported synthetic drugs that produce hepatotoxicity by oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis during the last several decades. Due to their ability to downregulate many factors (such as cytokines) and activate several enzyme/enzyme systems, herbal substances (such as Gingko biloba extract, curcumin, resveratrol, and silymarin) provide superior protection against harmful mechanisms which induce hepatotoxicity with fewer adverse effects than their synthetic counterparts.

Abstract
The relative treatment benefit of a drug for patients during development, marketing authorization review, or after approval includes an assessment of the risk of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). In this article, the Pharmacovigilance and Risk Mitigation Working Group of the IQ-DILI Initiative launched in June 2016 within the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development presents and reviews three key topics for essential risk management activities to identify, characterize, monitor, mitigate, and communicate DILI risk associated with small molecules during drug development. The three topics are: (1) Current best practices for characterizing the DILI phenotype and the severity and incidence of DILI in the treatment population, including DILI identification, prediction and recovery. (2) Characterization of the relative treatment benefit for patients who will be exposed to a drug and the attendant risk of DILI in conjunction with existing global risk mitigation strategies. (3) Implementation of risk mitigation strategies during drug development highlighting patient factors, healthcare settings and site of product administration, and prescriber and healthcare provider factors. Industry guidance is provided for assessing whether the product labeling is sufficient to minimize the risk of DILI or whether a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) or European Medicines Agency (EMA) Risk Management Plan (RMP) with additional Risk Minimization Measures (aRMM) is needed.

Abstract
The gut microbiome plays a key role in influencing several pathways and functions involved in human health, including metabolism, protection against infection, and immune regulation. Perturbation of the gut microbiome is recognised as a pathogenic factor in several gastrointestinal and extraintestinal disorders, and is increasingly considered as a therapeutic target in these conditions. Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is the transfer of the microbiota from healthy screened stool donors into the gut of affected patients, and is a well-established and highly effective treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. Despite the mechanisms of efficacy of FMT not being fully understood, it has been investigated in several chronic noncommunicable disorders, with variable results. This review aims to give an overview of mechanisms of efficacy of FMT in chronic noncommunicable disorders, and to paint the current landscape of its investigation in these medical conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic liver disorders, and also extraintestinal autoimmune conditions.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a relevant issue in clinical practice and is still a diagnosis of exclusion. Despite the low incidence in the general population, DILI is the cause of most cases of acute hepatic injury and has a mortality rate of up to 50%. Despite many reports in the medical literature about the DILI mechanisms, a clear causal relationship between them, drugs, and risk factors has not been established. Current clinical practice is based on a combination of a thorough study of a history of risk factors, the timing of drug and dietary supplements' administration, and the analysis of laboratory and instrumental tests. It aligns with the international criteria of the Rousell Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM), which is considered one of the main diagnostic algorithms for DILI. The article addresses current DILI classification, risk factors, diagnostic algorithms, causalities, clinical evaluation, promising liver function biomarkers, and specific treatment.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the most common causes of a drug being withdrawn, and identifying the culprit drugs and the host factors at risk of causing DILI has become a current challenge. Recent studies have found that immune status plays a considerable role in the development of DILI. In this study, DILI-related differentially expressed genes mediated by immunoinflammatory cytokines were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to predict the occurrence of DILI (named the DILI predictive gene set, DILI_PGS), and the predictability of the DILI_PGS was verified using the Connectivity Map (CMap) and LiverTox platforms. The results obtained DILI_PGS from the GEO database could predict 81.25% of liver injury drugs. In addition, the Coexpedia platform was used to predict the DILI_PGS-related characteristics of common host diseases and found that the DILI_PGS mainly involved immune-related diseases and tumor-related diseases. Then, animal models of immune stress (IS) and immunosuppressive (IP) were selected to simulate the immune status of the above diseases. Meanwhile, psoralen, a main component derived from Psoralea corylifolia Linn. with definite hepatotoxicity, was selected as an experimental drug with highly similar molecular fingerprints to three idiosyncratic hepatotoxic drugs (nefazodone, trovafloxacin, and nimesulide) from the same DILI_PGS dataset. The animal experiment results found a single administration of psoralen could significantly induce liver injury in IS mice, while there was no obvious liver function change in IP mice by repeatedly administering the same dose of psoralen, and the potential mechanism of psoralen-induced liver injury in IS mice may be related to regulating the expression of the TNF-related pathway. In conclusion, this study constructed the DILI_PGS with high accuracy to predict the occurrence of DILI and preliminarily identified the characteristics of host factors inducing DILI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ashwagandha herb is commonly used in Ayurveda and a "fad" dietary supplement for a host of indications based on low levels of evidence. Recently, ashwagandha was implicated in multiple reports of herb-induced liver injury (HILI), mainly from the United States. We present the first, and currently largest, series of ashwagandha-HILI from multiple centers in India. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the respective institutional electronic medical records for ashwagandha-HILI. Patients consuming ashwagandha as part of multiherbal formulations or along with other known hepatotoxic supplements or medicines were excluded. All patients underwent a detailed diagnostic workup to exclude competing causes reasonably. Where possible, the implicated herbal formulation was retrieved and subjected to chemical analysis. RESULTS Out of 23 patients with liver injury from ashwagandha (January 2019 to December 2022), we report 8 patients with single-ingredient formulation-related HILI. Study cohort was male predominant, and cholestatic hepatitis was the commonest presentation. Five patients had underlying chronic liver disease; 3 presented with acute-on-chronic liver failure, and all 3 died on follow-up. In others, the liver injury was prolonged, nonetheless self-limiting. Liver biopsy revealed cholestatic features predominantly with hepatocellular necrosis and lymphocyte/eosinophil predominant portal-based inflammation. One patient progressed to chronic HILI. Chemical analysis revealed only natural phytochemicals without adulteration or contamination. CONCLUSIONS Ashwagandha-HILI presents with cholestatic hepatitis and can lead to the syndrome of acute-on-chronic liver failure with high mortality in those with pre-existing liver disease. Educating the public on avoiding the use of potentially toxic and unrecommended herbal supplements can help mitigate the avoidable liver disease burden in the community.

Abstract
Drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis (DIAIH) is a poorly understood form of drug-induced liver injury that presents with features mimicking autoimmune hepatitis. Statins, commonly prescribed for lowering cholesterol and for cardiovascular disease prevention, have been documented in rare cases as being responsible for DIAIH. In this case report, we detail a case where a patient developed DIAIH due to her atorvastatin. We also highlight the diagnostic approach and management strategies for DIAIH.

Asiatic acid ameliorates rifampicin- and isoniazid-induced liver injury in vivo by regulating sphingolipid metabolism and mitogen-activated protein kinase signalling pathways. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2023; 133:402-417.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to determine whether asiatic acid (AA) exerts any therapeutic effects on rifampicin (RFP)- and isoniazid (INH)-induced liver injury and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Briefly, liver injury in mice was induced via RFP and INH administration. We investigated the effects and potential action mechanisms of AA on liver injury using transcriptomics, metabolomics and various examinations. We found that AA significantly ameliorated the pathological changes in liver tissues and decreased the transaminase activity, inflammation and oxidative stress damage. Transcriptomics revealed 147 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the AA and model groups that were enriched in metabolic and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways. Metabolomics revealed 778 differentially expressed metabolites between the AA and model groups. Furthermore, integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses revealed strong correlations between DEGs and differentially expressed metabolites and indicated that AA regulates the sphingolipid metabolism by inhibiting the expression of delta 4-desaturase, sphingolipid 1. Experimental results confirmed that AA inhibited the MAPK signalling pathway. In summary, AA inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress damage by regulating the sphingolipid metabolism pathway and blocking the MAPK signalling pathway, thereby relieving the RFP/INH-induced liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence of drug-induced liver injury is abundant in adults but is lacking in children. Our aim was to identify suspected drug signals associated with pediatric liver injury. METHODS Hepatic adverse events (HAEs) among children reported in the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System were analyzed. A descriptive analysis was performed to summarize pediatric HAEs, and a disproportionality analysis was conducted by evaluating reporting odds ratios (RORs) and proportional reporting ratios to detect suspected drugs. RESULTS Here, 14,143 pediatric cases were reported, specifically 49.6% in males, 45.1% in females, and 5.2% unknown. Most patients (68.8%) were 6-18 years old. Hospitalization ranked first among definite outcomes (7,207 cases, 37.2%). In total, 264 disproportionate drug signals were identified. The top 10 drugs by the number of reports were paracetamol (1,365; ROR, 3.6; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.4-3.8), methotrexate (878; ROR, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.3-2.7), vincristine (649; ROR, 3.0; 95% CI, 2.8-3.3), valproic acid (511; ROR, 3.2; 95% CI, 2.9-3.6), cyclophosphamide (490; ROR, 2.4; 95% CI, 2.2-2.6), tacrolimus (427; ROR, 2.4; 95% CI, 2.2-2.7), prednisone (416; ROR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.9-2.3), prednisolone (401; ROR, 2.3; 95% CI, 2.1-2.5), etoposide (378; ROR, 2.3; 95% CI, 2.1-2.6), and cytarabine (344; ROR, 2.8; 95% CI, 2.5-3.2). After excluding validated hepatotoxic drugs, six were newly detected, specifically acetylcysteine, thiopental, temazepam, nefopam, primaquine, and pyrimethamine. CONCLUSIONS The hepatotoxic risk associated with 264 signals needs to be noted in practice. The causality of hepatotoxicity and mechanism among new signals should be verified with preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
Background Elderly patients frequently experience a high incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs) due to the coexistence of multiple diseases, the combination of various medications, poor medication compliance, and other factors. Global Trigger Tool (GTT) is a new method for identifying ADEs, introducing the concept of a trigger, that is, clues including abnormal laboratory values, reversal drugs, and clinical symptoms that may suggest ADEs, and specifically locating information related to ADEs in the medical record to identify ADEs. The aim of this study was to establish a GTT-based trigger tool for adverse medication events in elderly patients and to investigate the risk variables associated with such events. Methods The triggers were identified by reviewing the frequency of ADEs in elderly patients in Sichuan, China, retrieving relevant literature, and consulting experts. A retrospective analysis was carried out to identify adverse medication occurrences among 480 elderly inpatients in Sichuan People's Hospital. Results A total of 56 ADEs were detected in 51 patients (10.62%), 13.04 per 1,000 patient days, and 11.67 per 100 admissions. The overall positive predictive value (PPV) of the triggers was 23.84, and 94.64% of ADEs caused temporary injury. Gastrointestinal system injury (27.87%) and metabolic and nutritional disorders (24.53%) were the primary organ-systems affected by ADEs. The majority of ADEs were caused by drugs used to treat cardiovascular diseases. 71.43% of ADE occurred within 2 days of administration and the risk factor analysis of ADE revealed that the number of medicines had a significant correlation. Conclusion This study demonstrated GTT's value as a tool for ADEs detection in elderly inpatients in China. It enhances the level of medication management and comprehensively reflects the situation of ADE of the elderly.

Abstract
The liver has a central role in metabolism, therefore, it is susceptible to harmful effects of ingested medications (drugs, herbs, and nutritional supplements). Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) comprises a range of unexpected reactions that occur after exposure to various classes of medication. Even though most cases consist of mild, temporary elevations in liver enzyme markers, DILI can also manifest as acute liver failure in some patients and can be associated with mortality. Herein, we briefly review available data on DILI induced by targeted anticancer agents in managing classical myeloproliferative neoplasms: Chronic myeloid leukemia, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis.

Abstract
Isodon excisoides (Y.Z.Sun ex C.H.Hu) H. Hara has been often used to treat liver diseases in folk medicine. However, the potential hepatoprotective mechanism of I. excisoides remains unclear. In this study, the mechanism of I. excisoides in alleviating drug-induced liver injury (DILI) was explored using a strategy combining metabolomics with network pharmacology for the first time. First, serum metabolomics was applied to identify differential metabolites and enrich metabolic pathways. The potential targets of I. excisoides for the treatment of DILI were investigated by network pharmacology. Subsequently, a comprehensive network of network pharmacology and metabolomics was established to find the key genes. Finally, molecular docking technology was used to further verify the key targets. As a result, four key genes including TYMS, IMPDH2, DHODH, and ASAH1 were identified. The proteins produced by these genes had high affinity with the corresponding diterpenoids. These results indicate that the components of I. excisoides play a liver-protective role by affecting the aforesaid key genes and key proteins. Our results offer a novel strategy for determining the pharmacological effects and potential targets of natural compounds.

Abstract
Abnormal liver tests are one of the most common challenges in the primary care setting. Primary care practitioners order these tests for numerous reasons, including investigating abdominal signs and symptoms or suspected alcohol-use disorder, or to determine medication adverse effects. Evaluation should be guided by both the clinical presentation and the pattern of injury. In this article, we will focus on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic work-up, and management of elevated liver enzymes, with an emphasis on the most common causes of abnormal liver testing.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can mimic almost all other liver disorders. A phenotype increasingly ascribed to drugs is autoimmune-like hepatitis (ALH). This article summarises the major topics discussed at a joint International Conference held between the Drug-Induced Liver Injury consortium and the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. DI-ALH is a liver injury with laboratory and/or histological features that may be indistinguishable from those of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Previous studies have revealed that patients with DI-ALH and those with idiopathic AIH have very similar clinical, biochemical, immunological and histological features. Differentiating DI-ALH from AIH is important as patients with DI-ALH rarely require long-term immunosuppression and the condition often resolves spontaneously after withdrawal of the implicated drug, whereas patients with AIH mostly require long-term immunosuppression. Therefore, revision of the diagnosis on long-term follow-up may be necessary in some cases. More than 40 different drugs including nitrofurantoin, methyldopa, hydralazine, minocycline, infliximab, herbal and dietary supplements (such as Khat and Tinospora cordifolia) have been implicated in DI-ALH. Understanding of DI-ALH is limited by the lack of specific markers of the disease that could allow for a precise diagnosis, while there is similarly no single feature which is diagnostic of AIH. We propose a management algorithm for patients with liver injury and an autoimmune phenotype. There is an urgent need to prospectively evaluate patients with DI-ALH systematically to enable definitive characterisation of this condition.

Abstract
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are potent hepatotoxins that can cause liver damage. Hyperoside (Hyp), a natural flavonoid, can be extracted from medicinal plants. Hyp displays hepatoprotective activity in various liver diseases. However, the potential effect and mechanism of action of Hyp in ameliorating PA-induced liver injury remain obscure. This study aimed to explore the protective effect of Hyp against PA-induced hepatotoxicity and its underlying mechanism. We established an in vitro model of PAs in mouse primary hepatocytes and developed a mouse model of acute PA toxicity to investigate the protective effect of Hyp. We found that Hyp notably attenuated PA-induced hepatotoxicity. RNA-sequencing showed that the beneficial effect of Hyp against PA-induced hepatotoxicity was associated with the transcription factor EB (TFEB)-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1-α (PGC1α) pathway. Our results confirmed that both the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis were induced by Hyp through TFEB nuclear translocation in PA-induced liver injury. Furthermore, we demonstrated that activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) by MHY 1485 decreased TFEB nuclear translocation and abrogated the protective effect of Hyp against PA-induced liver injury in mice. In contrast, inhibition of mTORC1 activity increased the level of TFEB and reduced hepatotoxicity induced by PAs in mouse livers. Likewise, Hyp-induced TFEB activation was validated in vitro. In conclusion, Hyp can activate the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosomal pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis through inhibition of mTORC1 activity, alleviating the liver injury induced by PAs, thus suggesting the potential value of Hyp in the treatment of PA-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug-induced liver injury can be challenging to diagnose, as it can develop following the use of many prescription and nonprescription medications, herbals, and dietary supplements. Food products may not be routinely considered as a potential cause of hepatotoxicity. We describe the clinical features of two cases of acute liver injury following consumption of a smoothie product. CASE PRESENTATIONS Two patients independently presented to the hospital with epigastric pain and acute liver injury. Both patients had consumed a new smoothie product in the same month that they presented to the hospital, with a recurrence of acute liver injury with further consumption. A diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury was established after the evaluation excluded other causes of liver injury. It was thought that a natural ingredient in the smoothie, tara flour, was the cause of hepatotoxicity based on prior news reports. Both patients stopped drinking the smoothie product with subsequent normalization of liver enzyme activities and no further recurrence of epigastric pain. CONCLUSION The diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury largely relies on a compatible history and exclusion of other causes of liver injury. We demonstrate the importance of considering new food products in the differential diagnosis of acute liver injury.

Abstract
Antibiotics are a known cause of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the five most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States are azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, cephalexin, amoxicillin, and amoxicillin-clavulanate. We quantified the frequency of acute DILI for these common antibiotics in the All of Us Research Program, one of the largest electronic health record (EHR)-linked research cohorts in the United States. Retrospective analyses were conducted applying a standardized phenotyping algorithm to de-identified clinical data available in the All of Us database for 318,598 study participants. Between February 1984 and December 2022, more than 30% of All of Us participants (n = 119,812 individuals) had been exposed to at least 1 of our 5 study drugs. Initial screening identified 591 potential case patients that met our preselected laboratory-based phenotyping criteria. Because DILI is a diagnosis of exclusion, we then used phenome scanning to narrow the case counts by (i) scanning all EHRs to identify all alternative diagnostic explanations for the laboratory abnormalities, and (ii) leveraging International Classification of Disease 9th revision (ICD)-9 and ICD 10th revision (ICD)-10 codes as exclusion criteria to eliminate misclassification. Our final case counts were 30 DILI cases with amoxicillin-clavulanate, 24 cases with azithromycin, 24 cases with ciprofloxacin, 22 cases with amoxicillin alone, and < 20 cases with cephalexin. These findings demonstrate that data from EHR-linked research cohorts can be efficiently mined to identify DILI cases related to the use of common antibiotics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The hepatotoxicity of irinotecan has been widely implicated in the treatment of multiple solid tumours. However, there are few studies on the influencing factors of irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity. Herein, we investigated the risk factors for irinotecan-induced liver injury among 421 patients receiving irinotecan-based regimens (IBRs). DESIGN Retrospective multi-centre cross-sectional study. SETTING This study surveyed four hospitals in China. PARTICIPANTS After excluding participants with missing variables, we retrospectively collected the demographic, clinical and therapeutic data of 421 patients who received IBRs in four hospitals between January 2020 and December 2021 and divided the patients into two groups: those without liver injury and those with liver injury. RESULTS The 421 enrolled patients were grouped (liver injury group: n=92; control group: n=329) according to their hepatic biochemical monitoring parameters. In our study, the multivariate logistic regression results showed that three to four cycles of chemotherapy (OR (95% CI): 2.179 (1.272 to 3.733); p=0.005) and liver metastasis (OR (95% CI): 1.748 (1.079 to 2.833); p=0.023) were independent risk factors for irinotecan-induced liver injury. The Cox proportional hazards model demonstrated that alcohol consumption history (OR (95% CI): 2.032 (1.183 to 3.491); p=0.010) and a cumulative dose of irinotecan ≥1000 mg (OR (95% CI): 0.362 (0.165 to 0.792); p=0.011) were significantly correlated with the onset time of irinotecan-induced liver injury. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that patients with liver metastasis or who received three to four cycles of chemotherapy should undergo rigorous liver function monitoring to prevent or reduce the incidence of irinotecan-induced liver injury. Moreover, patients with a history of alcohol consumption should also be closely monitored.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a transcription factor responsible for mounting an anti-oxidation gene expression program to counter oxidative stress. Under unstressed conditions, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), an adaptor protein for CUL3 E3 ubiquitin ligase, mediates NRF2 ubiquitination and degradation. We show here that the deubiquitinase USP25 directly binds to KEAP1 and prevents KEAP1's own ubiquitination and degradation. In the absence of Usp25 or if the DUB is inhibited, KEAP1 is downregulated and NRF2 is stabilized, allowing the cells to respond to oxidative stress more readily. In acetaminophen (APAP) overdose-induced oxidative liver damage in male mice, the inactivation of Usp25, either genetically or pharmacologically, greatly attenuates liver injury and reduces the mortality rates resulted from lethal doses of APAP.

Abstract
Background High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is a mainstay of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) treatment. Transient hepatotoxicity from HDMTX has been characterized in pediatric patients but not in adults. We sought to characterize hepatotoxicity in adult PCNSL patients undergoing HDMTX treatment. Methods Retrospective study of 65 PCNSL patients treated at the University of Virginia from 02/01/2002 to 04/01/2020 was performed. Hepatotoxicity was defined using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) for adverse events, fifth version. High-grade hepatotoxicity was defined as a bilirubin or aminotransferase CTC grade of 3 or 4. Relationships between clinical factors and hepatotoxicity were assessed with logistic regression. Results Most patients (90.8%) had a rise of at least one aminotransferase CTC grade during HDMTX treatment. 46.2% had high-grade hepatotoxicity based on aminotransferase CTC grade. No patients developed high-grade bilirubin CTC grades during chemotherapy. Liver enzyme test values decreased to low CTC grade or normal in 93.8% of patients after the conclusion of HDMTX treatment without treatment regimen changes. Prior ALT elevation (P = .0120) was a statistically significant predictor of high-grade hepatotoxicity during treatment. Prior history of hypertension was associated with increased risk of toxic serum methotrexate levels during any cycle (P = .0036). Conclusions Hepatotoxicity develops in the majority of HDMTX-treated PCNSL patients. Transaminase values decreased to low or normal CTC grades in almost all patients after treatment, without modification of MTX dosage. Prior ALT elevation may predict patients' increased hepatotoxicity risk, and hypertension history may be a risk factor for delayed MTX excretion.

Abstract
Hereditary cholestatic liver disease caused by a class of autosomal gene mutations results in jaundice, which involves the abnormality of the synthesis, secretion, and other disorders of bile acids metabolism. Due to the existence of a variety of gene mutations, the clinical manifestations of children are also diverse. There is no unified standard for diagnosis and single detection method, which seriously hinders the development of clinical treatment. Therefore, the mutated genes of hereditary intrahepatic cholestasis were systematically described in this review.

Prevalence and global trends of polypharmacy in patients with chronic liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e32608.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its central role in drug metabolism, the exact prevalence estimates and factors affecting global trends of polypharmacy in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) have remained unexamined. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to estimate the prevalence of polypharmacy in patients with CLD and to comprehensively synthesize the socio-demographic factors that drive this. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of relevant databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Science citation index, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and database of abstracts of reviews of effectiveness) for studies published from inception to May 30, 2022 that reported on prevalence estimates of polypharmacy in patients with CLD. The risk of bias was conducted utilizing Loney criteria. The primary outcome was the pooled prevalence of polypharmacy in patients with CLD. We subsequently performed a systematic review and weighted meta-analysis to ascertain the exact pooled prevalence of polypharmacy among patients with CLD. RESULTS We identified approximately 50 studies from the initial literature search, of which 7 (enrolling N = 521,435 patients) with CLD met the inclusion criteria; of these, 58.7% were male, with a mean age of 53.9 (SD ± 12.2) years. The overall pooled prevalence of polypharmacy among patients with CLD was 31% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4%-66%, I2 = 100%, τ2 ≤ 0.001, P ≤ .0001). We found higher pooled prevalence estimates among patients aged 50 years and older compared to their younger cohorts (42%, [CI 10-77]; I2 = 100%, P = <.001 vs 21%, [CI 0-70]; I2 = 100%, P = <.001). CONCLUSION In an examination of multiple community- and hospital-based databases of patients with CLD, we found a pooled prevalence estimate of polypharmacy of approximately 31%. This represents a case burden within the range reported in the general population and will likely respond to mitigation strategies employed thus far for patients in that population.
