Popis: Isoniazid (INH) is a highly effective single and/or combined first-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) therapy drug, and the hepatotoxicity greatly limits its clinical application. INH-induced liver injury (INH-DILI) is a typical immune-mediated idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury. Existing mechanisms including genetic variations in drug metabolism and immune responses cannot fully explain the differences in susceptibility and sensitivity to INH-DILI, suggesting that other factors may be involved. Accumulating evidence indicates that the development and severity of immune-mediated liver injury is related to gut microbiota. In this study, INH exposure caused liver damage, immune disregulation and microbiota profile alteration. Depletion of gut microbiota ameliorated INH-DILI, and improved INH-DILI-associated immune disorder and inflammatory response. Moreover, hepatotoxicity of INH was ameliorated by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from INH-treated mice. Notably, Bifidobacterium abundance was significantly associated with transaminase levels. In conclusion, our results suggested that the effect of gut microbiota on INH-DILI was related to immunity, and the difference in INH-DILI sensitivity was related to the structure of gut microbiota. Changes in the structure of gut microbiota by continuous exposure of INH resulted in the tolerance to liver injury, and probiotics such as Bifidobacterium might play an important role in INH-DILI and its ''adaptation'' phenomenon. This work provides novel evidence for elucidating the underlying mechanism of difference in individual’s response to INH-DILI and potential approach for intervening anti-TB drug liver injury by modulating gut microbiota.
