Pharmacogenomics in Drug Induced Liver Injury

Abstract: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a severe adverse effect. The majority of DILI cases are idiosyncratic and several mechanisms have been postulated to explain why some subjects develop DILI with drugs that are safe for the majority of individuals. Major mechanisms proposed for DILI are based on the production of reactive metabolites, immune-mediated hepatotoxicity, a "danger signal" hypothesis and/or alterations in mitochondrial function. These mechanisms are compatible with the hypothesis for genetic variab… Show more

“…Ethnic differences in allele frequencies are a major source of variability in genetic studies related to DILI. 18 Findings obtained in populations with a low minor allele frequency, as is the case for SOD2 polymorphisms in Asian subjects, should be cautiously interpreted, because a high sample size is required to obtain enough statistical power in these populations. The role of SOD2 in drug-induced hepatotoxicity has proven contradictory.…”

“…Like in the case of formation of active metabolites, genetic polymorphism in addition to other factors can significantly affect the formation of reactive metabolites and protein adducts, leading to altered drug toxicity [243][244][245][246]. It can also result in differential inactivation of P450s.…”

“…Metabolism-related toxicity is generally mediated by the generation of reactive metabolites from non-toxic parenteral compounds, particularly via cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme pathways [6]. The interindividual variability in the expression of drug metabolizing genes predisposes certain individuals to increased susceptibility to DILI [7,8]. Therefore, it is important to examine the roles of drug metabolizing enzymes and identify specific metabolizing enzymes that contribute to drug-induced liver toxicity.…”
