Abstrakt: Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug, but its overdose can cause acute liver failure. The dosage-sensitive sex reversal adrenal hypoplasia congenita critical region on the X chromosome, gene 1 (DAX-1, NR0B1), is an orphan nuclear receptor that acts as a transcriptional co-repressor of various genes. In this study, we identified the role of DAX-1 in APAP-induced liver injury using hepatocyte-specific Dax-1 knockout ( Dax-1 LKO) mice. Mouse primary hepatocytes were used as a comparative in vitro study. APAP overdose led to decreased plasma alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels in Dax-1 LKO mice compared to C57BL/6J (WT) controls, accompanied by reduced liver necrosis. The expression of the genes encoding the enzymes catalyzing glutathione (GSH) synthesis and metabolism and antioxidant enzymes was increased in the livers of APAP-treated Dax-1 LKO mice. The rapid recovery of GSH levels in the mitochondrial fraction of APAP-treated Dax-1 LKO mice led to reduced reactive oxygen species levels, resulting in the inhibition of the prolonged JNK activation. The hepatocyte-specific DAX-1 deficiency increased the protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) compared with WT controls after APAP administration. These results indicate that DAX-1 deficiency in hepatocytes protects against APAP-induced liver injury by Nrf2-regulated antioxidant defense.
