@article{10902/34432, year = {2024}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/34432}, abstract = {Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant cause of acute liver failure (ALF) and liver transplantation in the Western world. Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a main contributor of DILI, leading to hepatocyte cell death through necrosis. Here, we identified that neddylation, an essential post-translational modification involved in the mitochondria function, was upregulated in liver biopsies from patients with APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) and in mice treated with an APAP overdose. MLN4924, an inhibitor of the neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8 (NEDD8)-activating enzyme (NAE-1), ameliorated necrosis and boosted liver regeneration in AILI. To understand how neddylation interferes in AILI, whole-body biotinylated NEDD8 (bioNEDD8) and ubiquitin (bioUB) transgenic mice were investigated under APAP overdose with and without MLN4924. The cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG) synthase TAM41, responsible for producing cardiolipin essential for mitochondrial activity, was found modulated under AILI and restored its levels by inhibiting neddylation. Understanding this ubiquitin-like crosstalk in AILI is essential for developing promising targeted inhibitors for DILI treatment.}, organization = {Acknowledgments: This work was supported by grants from Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades MICINN: PID2020-117116RB-I00 CEX2021-001136-S integrado en el Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica e Innovación, cofinanciado con Fondos FEDER (for M.L.M.-C.); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Programa Retos-Colaboración RTC2019-007125-1 (for M.L.M.-C.); Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Proyectos Investigación en Salud DTS20/00138 (for M.L.M.-C.); La Caixa Scientific Foundation (HR17-00601) (for M.L.M.-C.); La Caixa Consortium (for M.L.M.-C.); Ayudas Fundación Científica AECC para proyectos coordinados (IGTP-AECC_2022-042) (for M.L.M.-C.); Transferencia tecnológica 2022 (6/12/TT/2022/00001) (for M.L.M.-C.); Desarrollo Tecnológico en Salud (DTS20/00138) (for M.L.M.-C.); Ayudas a proyectos de investigación y desarrollo en salud (2023333041) (for M.L.M.-C.); Health Research 2017 (HR17-00601) (for M.L.M.-C.); Caixa Impulse Innovation 2023 (CI23-20155) (for M.L.M.-C.); PhD fellowship from AECC (PRDVZ172010SERR) awarded to M.S.-M.; FEDER/Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades-Agencia Estatal de Investigación PID2021-126096NB-I00 and RED2018-102379-T; and Xunta de Galicia 2021-CP085 and 2020-PG0157 to R.N.
