Abstract In the field of drug discovery, natural products have emerged as therapeutic agents for diseases such as cancer. However, their potential toxicity poses significant obstacles in the developing effective drug candidates. To overcome this limitation, we propose a pathway-screening method based on imaging analysis to evaluate cellular stress caused by natural products. We have established a cellular stress sensing system, named Hepa-ToxMOA, which utilizes HepG2 cells expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorescence under the control of transcription factor response elements (TREs) for transcription factors (AP1, P53, Nrf2, and NF-κB). Additionally, to augment the drug metabolic activity of the HepG2 cell line, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of 40 natural products with and without S9 fraction-based metabolic activity. Our finding revealed different activities of Hepa-ToxMOA depending on metabolic or non-metabolic activity, highlighting the involvement of specific cellular stress pathways. Our results suggest that developing a Hepa-ToxMOA system based on activity of drug metabolizing enzyme provides crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms initiating cellular stress during liver toxicity screening for natural products. The pathway-screening method addresses challenges related to the potential toxicity of natural products, advancing their translation into viable therapeutic agents. |
