Abstract

Purpose: Tacrolimus could induce hepatotoxicity during clinical use, and the mechanism was still unclear, which posed new challenge for the prevention and treatment of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity and provide reference for drug development target.

Methods: In this study, biochemical analysis, pathological staining, immunofluorescent staining, immunohistochemical staining, transcriptomic analysis, Western blotting was used to investigate the mechanism of tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity in gene knockout mice and Wistar rats.

Results: In gene knockout mice, compared to wild-type mice, CXCR2-deficiency alleviated tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). In Wistar rats, compared to control group, CXCL2-CXCR2, JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway (phosphorylation of JAK3 and STAT3) were up-regulated, the expression of CIS was lowered and the expression of PIM1 was raised, inducing liver pathological change (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); Inversely, blocking CXCR2 could reverse the expression of p-JAK3/p-STAT3 and tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

Conclusion: CXCR2 activated JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway (phosphorylation of JAK3 and STAT3) exacerbating hepatotoxicity associated with tacrolimus, meanwhile the expression of CIS was down-regulated, the expression of PIM1 was up-regulated. Blocking CXCR2 could reverse the expression of p-JAK3/p-STAT3, CIS, PIM1, and tacrolimus-induced hepatotoxicity.

CXCR2激活JAK3/STAT3信号通路加重他克莫司相关肝毒性

目的：他克莫司在临床使用过程中可诱发肝毒性，其作用机制尚不清楚，这为他克莫司致肝毒性的防治提出了新的挑战。本研究旨在探讨他克莫司致肝毒性的机制，为药物开发靶点提供参考。方法：采用生化分析、病理染色、免疫荧光染色、免疫组织化学染色、转录组分析、Western blot等方法，探讨他克莫司对基因敲除小鼠和Wistar大鼠肝毒性的作用机制。结果：基因敲除小鼠与野生型小鼠相比，缺乏cxcr2可减轻他克莫司引起的肝毒性（p0.05或p0.01）。Wistar大鼠与对照组相比，CXCL2-CXCR2、JAK3/STAT3信号通路（JAK3、STAT3磷酸化）上调，CIS表达降低，PIM1表达升高，引起肝脏病理改变（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）；相反，阻断CXCR2可逆转P - jak3 / P - stat3的表达和他克莫司诱导的肝毒性（P 0.05或P 0.01）。结论：CXCR2激活JAK3/STAT3信号通路（JAK3和STAT3磷酸化），加重他克莫司肝毒性，同时CIS表达下调，PIM1表达上调。阻断CXCR2可逆转p-JAK3/p-STAT3、CIS、PIM1和他克莫司诱导的肝毒性的表达。
