Abstract

UNLABELLED: Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) induction and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production are key risk factors in alcoholic liver injury. Increased oxidative stress from CYP2E1 induction by pyrazole in vivo sensitizes the liver to TNF-α-induced hepatotoxicity by a mechanism involving the activation of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and mitochondrial damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether JNK1 or JNK2 plays a role in this potentiated hepatotoxicity. Wild-type (WT), jnk1(-/-) , and jnk2(-/-) mice were used to identify changes of hepatotoxicity, damage to mitochondria, and production of oxidative stress after pyrazole plus TNF-α treatment. Increased serum alanine aminotransferase, inflammatory infiltration, and central necrosis were observed in the jnk2(-/-) and WT mice treated with pyrazole plus TNF-α, but not in the jnk1(-/-) mice. Pyrazole elevated the activity and protein level of CYP2E1 in all mice. There was a significant increase of malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal adducts, 3-nitrotyrosine, and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the jnk2(-/-) and WT mice, compared to the jnk1(-/-) mice, upon pyrazole plus TNF-α treatment, or compared to mice treated with either pyrazole alone or TNF-α alone. The antioxidants, catalase, phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxin, and glutathione were lowered, and cytochrome c was released from the mitochondria in the jnk2(-/-) and WT mice. Mitochondrial production of superoxide was increased in the jnk2(-/-) and WT mice, compared to the jnk1(-/-) mice, upon pyrazole plus TNF-α treatment. Electron microscopy showed altered mitochondrial structure in the jnk2(-/-) and WT mice, but not the jnk1(-/-) mice. CONCLUSIONS: JNK1 plays a role in the hepatotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress mediated by pyrazole plus TNF-α treatment. These findings raise the question as to the potential mechanisms of JNK1 activation related to alcoholic liver injury.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
