ABSTRACT
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is one of the leading causes of hepatotoxicity and acute liver failure in the United States. Accumulating evidence suggests that hepatocyte necrosis plays a critical role in APAP-induced liver injury (AILI). However, the mechanisms of APAP-induced necrosis and liver injury are not fully understood. In this study, we found that p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), a B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) homology domain 3 (BH3)-only Bcl-2 family member, was markedly induced by APAP in mouse livers and in isolated human and mouse hepatocytes. PUMA deficiency suppressed APAP-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and release of cell death factors from mitochondria, and protected against APAP-induced hepatocyte necrosis and liver injury in mice. PUMA induction by APAP was p53 independent, and required receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) by transcriptional activation. Furthermore, a small-molecule PUMA inhibitor, administered after APAP treatment, mitigated APAP-induced hepatocyte necrosis and liver injury. Conclusion:
Our results demonstrate that RIP1/JNK-dependent PUMA induction mediates AILI by promoting hepatocyte mitochondrial dysfunction and necrosis, and suggest that PUMA inhibition is useful for alleviating acute hepatotoxicity attributed to APAP overdose.
