Article Abstract
Background: Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a fatal complication of hepatectomy. However, the mechanism of hepatocyte injury in PHLF remains elusive.
Methods: PHLF was induced by extended 86% hepatectomy (eHx) in mice. Lipidomics was performed to investigate the eHx-induced lipid alteration in the residual liver. Ferroptosis was assessed to screen the hepatocyte injury induced by eHx. The therapeutic effects of ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) on PHLF were evaluated.
Results: PHLF was induced by eHx with elevation in markers of hepatocyte injury and mortality in mice within 48 h after surgery. eHx-induced hepatocyte injury was manifested by hepatocyte enlargement and hepatocyte death with glycogen depletion and lipid accumulation. Lipidomics revealed that eHx induced the accumulation of ferroptosis-favored polyunsaturated lipids. Ferroptosis was found to mediate the eHx-induced hepatocyte death in the residual liver during the development of PHLF. Fer-1 could attenuate the eHx-induced ferroptotic hepatocyte death and PHLF in mice.
Conclusions: Ferroptosis partly mediates the eHx-induced hepatocyte injury during the development of PHLF. Accumulation of polyunsaturated lipids in hepatocytes may promote eHx-induced ferroptosis, and targeting lipid peroxidation is a potential therapeutic strategy for PHLF.

Background: Despite the well-known effects of elevated bilirubin in neonates, its neurotoxic potential in adults remains uncertain. In perioperative and hepatic disease contexts, transient bilirubin elevations are common; however, their direct contribution to cognitive dysfunction has not been clearly established. This study aimed to determine whether transient bilirubin elevation alone can impair cognition and disrupt blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in adult zebrafish, and to compare these effects with those of liver injury.

Epoxiconazole (EPX) is widely applied to control various fungal diseases in crops. However, the toxicological effects of EPX on reptiles remain unknown, especially at the enantiomer level. In this study, lizards were repeatedly exposed to rac-EPX, (+)-EPX, and (-)-EPX at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg bw for 21 days.

Drug-induced liver injury is a leading cause of high attrition rates for both candidate drugs and marketed medications. Previous in silico models may not effectively utilize biological drug property information and often lack robust model validation. In this study, we developed a graph convolutional network embedded with a biological graph learning (BioGL) module-named BioGL-GCN(Biological Graph Learning-Graph Convolutional Network)-for drug-induced liver injury prediction using toxicogenomic profiles.

Niujiaodihuang Detoxify Decoction (NDD) has been shown to attenuate liver injury during acute liver failure by inhibiting ferroptosis, whereas the specific mechanism regulating ferroptosis remains to be elucidated. The LO2 liver cell injury model was induced with a combination of D-Galactosamine hydrochloride (D-GaIN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), followed by treatment with NDD-medicated serum. Hepatocyte injury, ferroptosis, and mitochondrial function homeostasis were assessed by measuring cell viability, inflammatory factors levels, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, expression of ferroptosis-related proteins, mitochondrial membrane potential, and expression of mitochondrial injury-related proteins.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a progressive form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is characterized by steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in its development. Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ), a negative regulator of mitochondrial respiration, promotes oxidative stress and lipid buildup, while its deficiency enhances mitochondrial function.
