Phase II Reactions: Acetylation Reactions01:24

Phase II Reactions: Acetylation Reactions

514
Acetylation, a phase II biotransformation reaction, introduces an acetyl group to drugs or their metabolites. Acetyltransferase enzymes facilitate this reaction, which resembles α-amino acid conjugation due to the addition of a functional group to the drug molecule.
The substrates for acetylation are typically drugs or their metabolites with an amino, sulfonamide, or hydrazine functional group. Acetylation can occur at several points in the drug molecule, including primary, secondary, and...

Cell Specific Gene Expression

14.6K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...

Types of RNA

8.1K
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in regulating gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.

Experimental RNAi

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing its transcription or activating the RNA degradation process. The mechanism was discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello in 1998 in plants. Today, it is observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals. This precise cellular mechanism of gene silencing has been developed into a technique that provides an efficient way to identify and determine the...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

55
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics and Transcriptomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • The majority of the mammalian genome is transcribed into noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that regulate gene expression.
  • ncRNAs, including microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), are involved in various cellular functions.
  • Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a recently identified class of lncRNAs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the emerging roles of ncRNAs in modulating xenobiotic metabolism and toxicity.
  • To discuss the involvement of ncRNAs in acetaminophen (APAP) metabolism and APAP-induced liver injury (AILI).
  • To explore the potential of ncRNAs in liver regeneration following AILI.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of genomic, transcriptomic, and toxicological studies.
  • Analysis of ncRNA databases and functional studies.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on ncRNA regulation in liver toxicity.

Main Results:

  • ncRNAs are increasingly recognized for their regulatory functions in cellular processes, including drug metabolism and toxicity.
  • Specific ncRNAs have been implicated in the metabolic pathways of APAP and the development of AILI.
  • Dysregulation of ncRNAs can exacerbate APAP-induced liver damage, while some ncRNAs may promote liver regeneration.

Conclusions:

  • ncRNAs represent a significant layer of gene regulation with critical implications for drug-induced liver injury.
  • Targeting specific ncRNAs holds potential for novel therapeutic strategies against APAP toxicity and for promoting liver repair.
  • Further research into ncRNA functions in AILI is essential for clinical applications.
