Int J Clin Pharm 2024; 46:368-381. [PMID: 38147280 DOI: 10.1007/s11096-023-01671-0] [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: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib, a potent inhibitor of targeted protein tyrosine kinases, treats chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Data on imatinib-associated changes in hepatic and thyroid functions are limited and conflicting. AIM To report the prevalence of hepatic and thyroid toxicity associated with the use of imatinib in CML patients. METHOD Articles for the systematic review were selected from electronic databases (PubMed, CINALH, Web of Science). Readily accessible peer-reviewed full articles in English published 1st January 2000 to 18th July 2023 were included. The search terms included combinations of: imatinib, CML, liver toxicity, hepatic toxicity, thyroid toxicity. Screening of titles, abstracts, full text articles was conducted independently by two reviewers. Inclusions and exclusions were recorded following PRISMA guidelines. Detailed reasons for exclusion were recorded. Included articles were critically appraised. RESULTS Ten thousand one hundred and twenty-three CML patients were reported in the 82 included studies corresponding to 21 case reports, 2 case series, 39 clinical trials and 20 observational studies were selected. Excluding case studies/reports, 1268 (12.6%; n = 1268/10046) hepatotoxicity adverse events were reported, of which 64.7% were rated as mild grade I & II adverse events, 363 (28.6%) as severe, grade III and IV adverse events; some led to treatment discontinuation, liver transplantation and fatal consequences. Twenty (35.1%) studies reported discontinuation of imatinib treatment due to the severity of hepatic toxicity. Fourteen (8.4%, n = 14/167) thyroid dysfunction adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION High frequency of mild and severe hepatotoxicity, associated with imatinib in CML patients, was reported in the published literature. Low numbers of mild and manageable thyroid toxicity events were reported.

Abstract
To solve the problem of resistance of tumor cells to TRAIL and the inevitable side effects of imatinib during treatment, we successfully prepared a kind of multifunctional liposome that encapsulated imatinib in its internal water phase and inserted TRAIL on its membrane in this study, which named ITLPs. The liposomes appeared uniform spherical and the particle size was approximately 150 nm. ITLPs showed high accumulation in TRAIL-resistance cells and HT-29 tumor-bearing mice model. In vitro cytotoxicity assay results showed that the killing activity of HT-29 cells treated with ITLPs increased by 50% and confirmed that this killing activity was mediated by the apoptosis pathway. Through mechanism studies, it was found that ITLPs arrested up to 32.3% of cells in phase M to exert anti-tumor effects. In vivo anti-tumor study showed that ITLPs achieved 61.8% tumor suppression and little toxicity in the HT-29 tumor-bearing mice model. Overall results demonstrated that codelivery of imatinib and TRAIL via liposomes may be a prospective method in the treatment of the TRAIL-resistance tumor.

Abstract
More than a decade ago IL-1 blockade was suggested as an add-on therapy for the treatment of cancer. This proposal was based on the overall safety record of anti-IL-1 biologics and the anti-tumor properties of IL-1 blockade in animal models of cancer. Today, a new frontier in IL-1 activity regulation has developed with several orally active NLRP3 inhibitors currently in clinical trials, including cancer. Despite an increasing body of evidence suggesting a role of NLRP3 and IL-1-mediated inflammation driving cancer initiation, immunosuppression, growth, and metastasis, NLRP3 activation in cancer remains controversial. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the understanding of NLRP3 activation in cancer. Further, we discuss the current opportunities for NLRP3 inhibition in cancer intervention with novel small molecules.

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
Inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes that promote an inflammatory host defense in response to pathogens and damaged or neoplastic tissues and are implicated in inflammatory disorders and therapeutic-induced toxicity. We investigated the mechanisms of activation for inflammasomes nucleated by NOD-like receptor (NLR) protiens. A screen of a small-molecule library revealed that several tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)-including those that are clinically approved (such as imatinib and crizotinib) or are in clinical trials (such as masitinib)-activated the NLRP3 inflammasome. Furthermore, imatinib and masitinib caused lysosomal swelling and damage independently of their kinase target, leading to cathepsin-mediated destabilization of myeloid cell membranes and, ultimately, cell lysis that was accompanied by potassium (K+) efflux, which activated NLRP3. This effect was specific to primary myeloid cells (such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells and mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells) and did not occur in other primary cell types or various cell lines. TKI-induced lytic cell death and NLRP3 activation, but not lysosomal damage, were prevented by stabilizing cell membranes. Our findings reveal a potential immunological off-target of some TKIs that may contribute to their clinical efficacy or to their adverse effects.

A new strategy for the rapid identification and validation of direct toxicity targets of psoralen-induced hepatotoxicity. Toxicol Lett 2022; 363:11-26. [PMID: 35597499 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2022.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 04/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The interaction between small-molecule compounds of traditional Chinese medicine and their direct targets is the molecular initiation event, which is the key factor for toxicity efficacy. Psoralen, an active component of Fructus Psoraleae, is toxic to the liver and has various pharmacological properties. Although the mechanism of psoralen-induced hepatotoxicity has been studied, the direct target of psoralen remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to discover direct targets of psoralen. To this end, we initially used proteomics based on drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS) technology to identify the direct targets of psoralen. Next, we used surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis and verified the affinity effect of the 'component-target protein'. This method combines molecular docking technology to explore binding sites between small molecules and proteins. SPR and molecular docking confirmed that psoralen and tyrosine-protein kinase ABL1 could be stably combined. Based on the above experimental results, ABL1 is a potential direct target of psoralen-induced hepatotoxicity. Finally, the targets Nrf2 and mTOR, which are closely related to the hepatotoxicity caused by psoralen, were predicted by integrating proteomics and network pharmacology. The direct target ABL1 is located upstream of Nrf2 and mTOR, Nrf2 can influence the expression of mTOR by affecting the level of reactive oxygen species. Immunofluorescence experiments and western blot results showed that psoralen could affect ROS levels and downstream Nrf2 and mTOR protein changes, whereas the ABL1 inhibitor imatinib and ABL1 agonist DPH could enhance or inhibit this effect. In summary, we speculated that when psoralen causes hepatotoxicity, it acts on the direct target ABL1, resulting in a decrease in Nrf2 expression, an increase in ROS levels and a reduction in mTOR expression, which may cause cell death. We developed a new strategy for predicting and validating the direct targets of psoralen. This strategy identified the toxic target, ABL1, and the potential toxic mechanism of psoralen.

Abstract
Irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity can cause severe clinical complications in patients; however, the underlying mechanism and factors affecting hepatotoxicity have rarely been investigated. In this cross-sectional study, we screened all clinical, demographic, medication and genetic variables among 126 patients receiving irinotecan and explored potential associations with the incidence and time to onset of irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity. Approximately 38.9% of the patients suffered from hepatotoxicity after irinotecan administration. The presence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) increases the incidence of hepatotoxicity approximately 2.9-fold and doubles the hazard of time to hepatotoxicity. Patients with liver metastasis had a more than 4-fold higher risk of hepatotoxicity and a 3.5-fold increased hazard of time to hepatotoxicity compared to those without liver metastasis. Patients who took CYP3A inducers had a 4.4-fold increased incidence of hepatotoxicity, and furthermore, concomitant use of platinum-based antineoplastics revealed 4.2 times the hazard of time to hepatotoxicity compared to those receiving antimetabolites. The cumulative dose of irinotecan (5-9 cycles) increased hepatotoxicity by 8.5 times. However, the genotypes and phenotypes of UGT1A1*28/*6 failed to be predictive factors of hepatotoxicity. The findings of this study suggest that irinotecan-induced hepatotoxicity is not directly associated with genetic variables but is mostly related to concomitant use of CYP3A inducers and platinum, as well as the presence of liver metastasis and CVD. Thus, close monitoring of liver function is recommended, especially in patients with liver impairment or using CYP3A inducers and platinum antineoplastic drugs, which may be the best way to prevent hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Background There is currently no method to predict tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) -induced hepatotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to propose a risk scoring system for hepatotoxicity induced within one year of TKI administration using machine learning methods. Methods This retrospective, multi-center study analyzed individual data of patients administered different types of TKIs (crizotinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, imatinib, and lapatinib) selected in five previous studies. The odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio from univariate and multivariate analyses were calculated using a chi-squared test and logistic regression model. Machine learning methods, including five-fold cross-validated multivariate logistic regression, elastic net, and random forest were utilized to predict risk factors for the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. A risk scoring system was developed from the multivariate and machine learning analyses. Results Data from 703 patients with grade II or higher hepatotoxicity within one year of TKI administration were evaluated. In a multivariable analysis, male and liver metastasis increased the risk of hepatotoxicity by 1.4-fold and 2.1-fold, respectively. The use of anticancer drugs increased the risk of hepatotoxicity by 6.0-fold. Patients administered H2 blockers or PPIs had a 1.5-fold increased risk of hepatotoxicity. The area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC) values of machine learning methods ranged between 0.73-0.75. Based on multivariate and machine learning analyses, male (1 point), use of H2 blocker or PPI (1 point), presence of liver metastasis (2 points), and use of anticancer drugs (4 points) were integrated into the risk scoring system. From a training set, patients with 0, 1, 2-3, 4-7 point showed approximately 9.8%, 16.6%, 29.0% and 61.5% of risk of hepatotoxicity, respectively. The AUROC of the scoring system was 0.755 (95% CI, 0.706-0.804). Conclusion Our scoring system may be helpful for patient assessment and clinical decisions when administering TKIs included in this study.

Abstract
Imatinib (IM), a milestone drug used in the field of molecular targeted therapy, has been reported to cause serious adverse liver effects, including liver failure and even death. Immune-mediated injury and mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in drug-induced liver injury. However, the mechanism of IM-induced hepatotoxicity remains unclear and warrants further study. In our study, Sprague Dawley rats were administered IM by gavage with 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) once daily for 10 days. Drug-induced liver injury accompanied by inflammatory infiltration was observed in rats following IM exposure, and the expression of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-related proteins was significantly increased compared with that of the control. HepG2 cells were exposed to 0-100 μM IM for 24 h. The results showed that IM decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, IM induced a state of obvious oxidative stress and activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in cells, which resulted in the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes, including caspase 1 cleavage and IL-1β release. These results were significantly reduced after the use of the antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine or the NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine di-thio-carbamate. Furthermore, NLRP3 knockdown significantly reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines and improved cell viability. In summary, our data demonstrated that oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation are involved in the process of IM-induced hepatotoxicity. The results of this study provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of IM-induced hepatotoxicity.

Comparison of Anticancer Drug Toxicities: Paradigm Shift in Adverse Effect Profile. Life (Basel) 2021; 12:life12010048. [PMID: 35054441 PMCID: PMC8777973 DOI: 10.3390/life12010048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 12/24/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The inception of cancer treatment with chemotherapeutics began in the 1940s with nitrogen mustards that were initially employed as weapons in World War II. Since then, treatment options for different malignancies have evolved over the period of last seventy years. Until the late 1990s, all the chemotherapeutic agents were small molecule chemicals with a highly nonspecific and severe toxicity spectrum. With the landmark approval of rituximab in 1997, a new horizon has opened up for numerous therapeutic antibodies in solid and hematological cancers. Although this transition to large molecules improved the survival and quality of life of cancer patients, this has also coincided with the change in adverse effect patterns. Typically, the anticancer agents are fraught with multifarious adverse effects that negatively impact different organs of cancer patients, which ultimately aggravate their sufferings. In contrast to the small molecules, anticancer antibodies are more targeted toward cancer signaling pathways and exhibit fewer side effects than traditional small molecule chemotherapy treatments. Nevertheless, the interference with the immune system triggers serious inflammation- and infection-related adverse effects. The differences in drug disposition and interaction with human basal pathways contribute to this paradigm shift in adverse effect profile. It is critical that healthcare team members gain a thorough insight of the adverse effect differences between the agents discovered during the last twenty-five years and before. In this review, we summarized the general mechanisms and adverse effects of small and large molecule anticancer drugs that would further our understanding on the toxicity patterns of chemotherapeutic regimens.

Effects of High-Dose of Copper Amino Acid Complex on Laying Performance, Hematological and Biochemical Parameters, Organ Index, and Histopathology in Laying Hens. Biol Trace Elem Res 2021; 199:3045-3052. [PMID: 33044710 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-020-02406-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/21/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the maximum tolerance limit of amino acid copper complex (Cu-Lys-Glu) for laying hens by measuring their laying performance, hematological and serum biochemical parameters, organ index, and histopathology. A total of 450 18-week-old Beijing White layers were randomly allocated to 5 groups (90 birds per group) with 6 replicates of 15 birds each. After a 2-week acclimation on a basal diet (analyzed copper content 8.63 mg/kg), the birds were fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 15, 75, 150, and 300 mg Cu/kg as Cu-Lys-Glu for 10 weeks. Results showed that, compared with the control group, dietary supplementation with 15, 75, and 150 mg Cu/kg as Cu-Lys-Glu did not affect (P > 0.05) laying performance, whereas hens receiving with 300 mg Cu/kg significantly decreased (P < 0.001) the laying rate as compared with the control. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed among the hens receiving 0, 15, 75, and 150 mg Cu/kg as Cu-Lys-Glu in hematological and serum biochemical parameters, organ indexes, and histopathological changes. However, hens receiving 300 mg Cu/kg significantly increased (P < 0.05) the concentrations of mean corpuscular volume (MCV), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBILI), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea nitrogen (UN), and creatinine (CRE), as well as caused severe microscopic histopathological changes in the liver and kidney. In conclusion, 150 mg Cu/kg as Cu-Lys-Glu is identified as no-side-effect supplementation level in laying hens after daily administration for 70 days.

[PMID: 34354855 PMCID: PMC8332851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Hepatotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents such as methotrexate, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan have been well documented and characterized allowing for careful management by oncologists during administration. However, the rapid advance of the field of oncology and introduction of new classes of therapies such as small molecule inhibitors and immunotherapies have introduced new hepatotoxicity challenges and management strategies. This work is a compilation of the hepatotoxicity and recommended management of various chemotherapies and targeted agents, with a focus on the newer classes of targeted anticancer agents.

Factors affecting high-grade hepatotoxicity of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer patients: a multi-center observational study. Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 76:1183-1191. [PMID: 32444938 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-020-02897-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 05/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Although several studies have examined tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-induced hepatotoxicity, the majority of patients in those studies displayed low-grade (grade I-II) hepatotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting high-grade (grade III-IV) hepatotoxicity of TKIs. METHODS This multi-center, retrospective study used individual patient data from five studies that examined factors affecting hepatotoxicity by TKIs (crizotinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, imatinib, and lapatinib). Odds ratio (OR) and adjusted OR (AOR) were estimated from univariate and multivariate analyses, respectively. RESULTS Data from 1279 patients treated with TKIs were analyzed. The rate of patients who experienced high-grade hepatotoxicity after TKI administration was 5.5%. In multivariable analysis, H2 blockers and CYP3A4 inducers increased high-grade hepatotoxicity 2.2- (95% CI 1.255-3.944) and 3.3-fold (95% CI 1.260-8.698), respectively. Patients with liver metastasis revealed a 3.4-fold (95% CI 1.561-7.466) higher risk of high-grade hepatotoxicity. Among underlying malignancies, pancreatic cancer and other cancers including acute lymphoblastic leukemia increased the risk of high-grade hepatotoxicity by 2.6- and 24.3-fold, respectively, whereas breast cancer decreased the risk (AOR 0.3, 95% CI 0.106-0.852), compared to non-small cell lung cancer. In patients who administrated TKIs which form reactive metabolites, use of CYP3A4 inducers and liver metastasis increased incidence of high-grade hepatotoxicity by 3.0- and 2.3-fold, respectively. In patients with EGFR mutation, exon 19 deletion and use of proton pump inhibitors were risk factors for high-grade hepatotoxicity in addition to liver metastasis and use of H2 blockers. CONCLUSION The use of H2 blockers, presence of liver metastasis, and CYP3A4 inducers were associated with high-grade hepatotoxicity of TKIs. In subgroup analyses, presence of exon 19 deletion, and/or proton pump inhibitors, was additional risk factors for high-grade hepatotoxicity in special patients and use of specific TKIs. Close liver function monitoring is recommended, especially in patients with liver metastasis or using H2 blockers or CYP3A4 inducers.
