Downregulation of Glutathione-Mediated Detoxification Capacity by Binge Drinking Aggravates Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury through IRE1α ER Stress Signaling

Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) can cause severe liver injury. Although alcohol is considered a risk factor for APAP toxicity, the mechanism underlying the interaction between alcohol and APAP remains unclear. Binge alcohol (5 g/kg every 12 h, 3 doses) reduced the concentration of cysteine and glut...

description Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) can cause severe liver injury. Although alcohol is considered a risk factor for APAP toxicity, the mechanism underlying the interaction between alcohol and APAP remains unclear. Binge alcohol (5 g/kg every 12 h, 3 doses) reduced the concentration of cysteine and glutathione (GSH) and decreased expression of cystathionine β-synthase (CβS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CγL), and glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) in the livers of male C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, the levels of GSH S-transferase (GST) and GSH peroxidase (GPx) were decreased. To evaluate the effect of binge drinking on APAP-induced liver injury, 300 mg APAP was administered following alcohol binges. APAP in the binge group significantly amplified the serum ALT more than two fold and enhanced the pro-apoptotic proteins with a severe centrilobular necrosis compared to APAP alone. APAP treatment after alcohol binges caused lower levels of hepatic cysteine and GSH than APAP alone over 24 h, indicating that alcohol binges reduced GSH regenerating potential. Exposure to APAP after binge treatment significantly increased oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (Grp78 and ATF6) markers at 6 h after treatment. Notably, the IRE1α/ASK1/MKK4/JNK pathway was activated, whereas CHOP expression was reduced by APAP administration in mice with pre-exposed alcohol binges compared with APAP alone. Thus, pretreatment with binge alcohol decreases GSH-mediated antioxidant capacity and contributes to augmentation of liver injury caused by subsequent APAP administration through differential ER stress signaling pathway.
