TLDR
Elevations in plasma miR‐122, HMGB1, and necrosis K18 identified subsequent ALI development in patients on admission to the hospital, soon after acetaminophen overdose, and in patients with ALTs in the normal range.

MicroRNA-Dependent Gene Regulation of the Human Cytochrome P450

TL;DR: Direct and indirect epigenetic molecular mechanisms for the regulation of CYP expression by miRNAs are described along with research strategies applied in the elucidation of these systems.

Circulating MicroRNAs, Polychlorinated Biphenyls, and Environmental Liver Disease in the Anniston Community Health Survey.

TL;DR: The results support the human hepatotoxicity of environmental PCB exposures while elucidating potential modes of PCB action and represents a promising new technique for environmental hepatology cohort studies.

Development of a spheroid model to investigate drug-induced liver injury

H Gaskell
TL;DR: C3A spheroids act as a human-relevant in vitro model with the potential to be incorporated into an initial drug safety screen, replacing 2D models with poor sensitivity and specificity.

Circulating microRNAs, potential biomarkers for drug-induced liver injury

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific microRNA species, such as mir-122 and mir-192, both are enriched in the liver tissue and exhibit dose- and exposure duration-dependent changes in the plasma that parallel serum aminotransferase levels and the histopathology of liver degeneration, but their changes can be detected significantly earlier.

Characterization of microRNA expression profiles in normal human tissues

TL;DR: A global view of tissue distribution of miRNAs in relation to their chromosomal locations and genomic structures is presented to support their tissue-specific functional roles to regulate the physiologies of the normal tissues in which they are expressed.

Oxidant stress, mitochondria, and cell death mechanisms in drug-induced liver injury: Lessons learned from acetaminophen hepatotoxicity

TL;DR: The formation of oxidants and the defense mechanisms available for cells are addressed and knowledge is applied to better understand mechanisms of drug hepatotoxicity, especially acetaminophen-induced liver injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism underlying acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in humans and mice involves mitochondrial damage and nuclear DNA fragmentation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that mitochondrial damage and nuclear DNA fragmentation are likely to be critical events in APAP hepatotoxicity in humans, resulting in necrotic cell death.
