- W4380085532 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) of retronecine-type and otonecine-type are phytotoxins present in ~6000 plant species and known to act as human toxins via metabolic activation to form pyrrole-protein adducts (PPA) leading to hepatotoxicity. To investigate PA absorption and disposition in the body, our group recently conducted toxicokinetic (TK) of several PA in rats, and found that regardless of significantly lower oral bioavailability, hepatotoxicity via oral (PO) was significantly higher than that via intravenous (IV) administration for retronecine-type (Retrorsine (RTS)) but not otonecine-type (Clivorine (CLI)) PA (Table 1). Based on structures, only retronecine-type PA can metabolically form PA <i>N</i>-oxides (PANO). We hypothesize that this unusual phenomenon may be caused by metabolic redox-conversion between <i>N</i>-oxidation and <i>N</i>-reduction in the intestine mediated by intestinal microbiota. Therefore, the present study aims to further confirm orally retronecine-type PA-induced more potent hepatotoxicity and delineate the underlying mechanism. <h3>Methods</h3> To investigate the role of gut microbiota, male SD rats were orally administered with/without mixed non-absorbable antibiotics (ABX) once daily for 5 consecutive days to eradicate microbiota. One day after the last ABX administration, rats were treated orally/intravenously with/without RTS (40 mg/kg), followed by sacrificed at 48 h after RTS dosing. <h3>Results</h3> RTS exhibited severer hepatotoxicity via PO than IV administration, as indicated by remarkably elevated ALT activity (Figure 1), obvious histopathological changes indicated by H&E staining and immunostaining of sinusoidal endothelial cells, and significantly higher levels of PPA formed in plasma, red blood cells (RBCs) and liver (Figure 2). Further, ABX pre-treatment remarkably alleviated PA-ILI in rats as evidenced by significantly lowered ALT activity and PPA levels. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The gut microbial was responsible, at least in part, for enhancing PA-ILI via mediating redox biotransformation between PA-PANO. Our data suggested that modulation of gut microbiota or intestinal microenvironment might be an innovative intervention for mitigating PA-ILI. Further study on the mechanism underlying gut microbiota-mediated enhancement of PA-ILI is currently under investigation.
