We compared the effect of alpha-tocopheryl succinate (TOS) on succinate-dependent respiration in rat liver mitochondria, homogenate and permeabilized hepatocytes in both a coupled and uncoupled state. In isolated mitochondria, a significant inhibitory effect was observed at a concentration of 5 microM, in liver homogenate at 25 microM and in permeabilized hepatocytes at 50 microM. The inhibitory effect of TOS on succinate respiration in an uncoupled state was less pronounced than in a coupled state in all the experimental models tested. When the concentration dependence of the TOS inhibitory effect was tested, the most sensitive in both states were isolated mitochondria; the most resistant were permeabilized hepatocytes.

Metabolic disorders have been identified as one of the causes of drug-induced liver injury; however, the direct regulatory mechanism regarding this disorder has not yet been clarified. In this study, a single regulatory mechanism of small molecule kinase inhibitors, with crizotinib as the representative drug is elucidated. First, it is discovered that crizotinib induced aberrant lipid metabolism and apoptosis in the liver.

Background: Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) is a hepatic disorder resulting from prolonged or excessive alcohol intake. The predominant manifestation of ALD is fatty liver, which progresses to alcoholic hepatitis as the disease worsens. Pyroptosis is a novel type of programmed cell death that is intricately linked to the inflammatory cascade, presenting a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention in the management of ALD.

Conjugates of the biocompatible polysaccharide pullulan with a cell membrane permeabilizing peptide L17E (PL-L17Es) were prepared with the aim of producing complex coacervates with pronounced intracellular antibody (IgG) delivery activity and stable structures. Coacervates with diameters of a few μm were formed simply by mixing PL-L17Es with IgG labeled with negatively charged fluorescent moieties of Alexa Fluor 488 [IgG(AF488)]. The coacervate resulted in a pronounced cytosolic infusion of IgG(AF488) and IgG binding to the target proteins inside the cell.

In sepsis, bacterial components, particularly lipopolysaccharide (LPS), trigger organ injuries such as liver dysfunction. Although sepsis induces hepatocyte damage, the mechanisms underlying sepsis-related hepatic failure remain unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that the LPS-treated rat hepatocyte cell line Clone 9 not only induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis but also increased the expression of the autophagy marker proteins LC3-II and p62, and decreased the expression of intact Lamp2A, a lysosomal membrane protein.
