This study was designed to investigate the association of the xanthine oxidase (XO) polymorphisms and susceptibility to anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) in Chinese population. A total of 183 tuberculosis patients were enrolled. Patients with ATDILI were classified as cases and those without ATDILI were classified as controls. Genotyping for XO polymorphisms was determined by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing. The allele frequencies and genotype distribution was analyzed using the Chi square test to analyze the association between the gene polymorphisms and ATDILI. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors of ATDILI. A total of 21 patients were developed liver injury during anti-tuberculosis treatment in this study, with an incidence of 11.48%. In genotype analysis, no significant difference was observed in the alleles and genotypes frequencies of the six SNPs between two groups (P > 0.05). In haplotype analysis, carriers with GGGATA (rs1884725- rs2295475 -rs45523133- rs206812- rs206813- rs7575607) haplotype had a significantly higher risk of ATDILI compared with other haplotypes (OR = 2.445, 95%CI: 1.058-5.652, P < 0.05). This study suggested that the haplotype GGGATA constructed with rs206812 and rs7575607 mutant alleles might contribute to ATDILI susceptibility in a Chinese population.

Liver regeneration is intricate, involves many cells, and necessitates extended research. This study aimed to investigate the response of liver oval cells (bipotent liver progenitors) to the epigenetic modifier trichostatin A (TSA), an HDAC1 inhibitor, and to develop a scoring system for assessing the response of these cells. Three groups of equally divided rats (n=24) were selected: control (A, dimethyl sulfoxide treated); oval cell induction (B, acetylaminofluorene [2-AAF] to block hepatocyes/carbon tetrachloride [CCL4] to induce oval cell response); and epigenetic modulation (C, TSA post 2-AAF/CCL4 injury).

Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is an antibiotic insecticide pesticide modified from avermectin. In the current study, we performed an in-depth investigation of the protective effects of epicatechin on EMB-induced liver injury in common carps. The carps were cultured in an aquatic environment containing 2.

Lactylation, a novel form of lactate-mediated protein post-translational modification (PTM), has been identified as a crucial regulator of gene expression and protein function through the modification of both histone and non-histone proteins. Liver disease is frequently characterized by a reprogramming of glucose metabolism and subsequent lactate accumulation. Recent research has implicated lactylation in a diverse array of hepatic pathologies, including liver injury, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Rationale: Warfarin is the most commonly used drug in patients with mechanical valve replacement. Acute liver damage after warfarin is rare but potentially harmful. We present a case of warfarin-induced gastrointestinal bleeding with liver injury, pharmacy monitoring, and its therapy.
