Liver proteome of Mus musculus

ABSTRACT: Acetaminophen is a widely used antipyretic and analgesic drug, and its overdose is the leading cause of drug-induced acute liver failure. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota (LcS), an extensively used and highly studied probiotic, on acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury. C57BL/6 mice were gavaged with LcS suspension or saline once daily for 7 days before the acute liver injury was induced via intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg acetaminophen. The results showed that LcS significantly decreased acetaminophen-induced liver and ileum injury, as demonstrated by reductions in the increases in aspartate aminotransferase, total bile acids, total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and hepatic cell necrosis. Moreover, LcS alleviated the acetaminophen-induced intestinal mucosal permeability, elevation in serum IL-1α and lipopolysaccharide, and decreased levels of serum eosinophil chemokine (eotaxin) and hepatic glutathione levels. Furthermore, analysis of the gut microbiota and metabolome showed that LcS reduced the acetaminophen-enriched levels of Cyanobacteria, Oxyphotobacteria, long-chain fatty acids, cholesterol and sugars in the gut. Additionally, the transcriptome and proteomics showed that LcS mitigated the downregulation of metabolism and immune pathways as well as glutathione formation during acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury. This is the first study showing that pretreatment with LcS alleviates acetaminophen-enriched acute liver injury, and it provides a reference for the application of LcS.

Project description:Liver injury is one of the main toxic effect of sulfasalazine (SASP). However, the toxicological mechanism of SASP-induced liver injury remains unclear. In the present study, the liver injury was induced by orally treatment with SASP for 4 weeks in mice. The hepatic mRNA profiles were detected by RNA sequencing and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. The elevated serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and total bilirubin (TBIL), combined with the hepatic histopathological features verified that liver injury was successfully caused by SASP. Transcriptomic results showed that 187 genes (fold change > 1.5 and P < 0.05) were differentially expressed, of which 106 genes were up-regulated and 81 genes were down-regulated in SASP-treated group. Moreover, the further analysis showed that these 187 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were enriched in 123 GO terms, which mainly including oxidation-reduction process, oxidoreductase activity and epoxygenase P450 pathway. KEGG pathway analysis showed 30 pathways including chemical carcinogenesis, retinol metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism and glutathione metabolism. Among these 187 DEGs, the top 22 hub genes were screened from network of protein-protein interaction (PPI) and verified by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the mRNA levels of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes, including cyp2b50, cyp2c50, cyp2c39, cyp2c38, cyp2c29, cyp2c54, cyp2c55, cyp2a5, gsta1, gsta2, gstt2, gstm2 and ephx1, were significantly up-regulated in SASP-treated group. Moreover, the expression of egfr, which has the highest score in PPI degree, were significantly down-regulated in SASP-treated group. The present study suggested that the toxicological mechanisms of SASP-induced liver injury might be related to multi-biological processes and pathways. Our results would be helpful for better understanding the hepatotoxic mechanism of SASP. However, the precise mechanism still needs further research.
