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.

The Key Molecular Mechanisms of Sini Decoction Plus Ginseng Soup to Rescue Acute Liver Failure: Regulating PPARα to Reduce Hepatocyte Necroptosis?

TL;DR: The potential therapeutic effect of SNRS on ALF may be through promoting the expression of PPARα and increasing the level of ATP in liver tissue, thereby inhibiting necroptosis of hepatocytes, reducing hepatocyte damage, and improving liver function.

Biomarker evaluation of plasma microRNA-122, high-mobility group box-1 and keratin-18 in acute gallstone disease

TL;DR: Plasma miRNA-122 and keratin-18 plasma concentrations are elevated in patients with gallstones, however, these biomarkers were not sufficiently discriminatory to be progressed as clinically useful biomarkers in this context.

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.
