Article Abstract
Acetaminophen is commonly used as a reference hepatotoxin to demonstrate that in vitro human liver platforms can emulate features of clinical drug-induced liver injury. However, the induction of substantial cell death in these models typically requires acetaminophen concentrations (∼10 mM) far higher than blood concentrations of the drug associated with clinical hepatotoxicity (∼1 mM). Using the cytochrome P450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole, we show that acetaminophen toxicity in cultured human, mouse, and rat hepatocytes is not dependent on N-acetyl-p-benzoquinonimine formation, unlike the in vivo setting. This finding highlights the limitation of using acetaminophen as a reference hepatotoxin for the evaluation of in vitro liver models. Hence, we make recommendations on the selection of reference hepatotoxins for this purpose.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) i.e., liver damage caused by pharmaceutical and other chemical substances, represents a significant clinical challenge in both its diagnosis and treatment, with DILI remaining a major factor in drug attrition and market withdrawal, accounting for approximately 50 % of reported cases of acute liver failure.

Background & Aims: Procollagen lysyl hydroxylase 1 (PLOD1) is crucial in regulating collagen synthesis and cross-linking. However, its roles and underlying mechanisms in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to investigate the underlying biological functions and mechanisms of PLOD1 in HCC.
