Association between genetic polymorphisms of NRF2, KEAP1, MAFF, MAFK and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury: a nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Reactive metabolites of anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs can result in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for drug-induced liver injury. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) - antioxidant response elements (ARE) (Nrf2-ARE) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in protecting liver cells from ROS, inducing enzymes such as phase II metabolizing enzymes and antioxidant enzymes. Based on a Chinese anti-TB treatment cohort, a nested case-control study was performed to explore the association between 13 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in the NRF2, KEAP1, MAFF, MAFK genes in Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway and the risk of anti-TB drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) in 314 cases and 628 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used
