Models of Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) – Current Issues and Future Perspectives
Current Drug Metabolism
Background: Drug-induced Liver Injury (DILI) is an important cause of acute liver failure cases in the United States, and remains a common cause of withdrawal of drugs in both preclinical and clinical phases. Methods: A structured search of bibliographic databases-Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and Medline for peer-reviewed articles on models of DILI was performed. The reference lists of relevant studies was prepared and a citation search for the included studies was carried out. In addition, the characteristics of screened studies were described. Results: One hundred and six articles about the existing knowledge of appropriate models to study DILI in vitro and in vivo with special focus on hepatic cell models, variations of 3D co-cultures, animal models, databases and predictive modeling and translational biomarkers developed to understand the mechanisms and pathophysiology of DILI are described. Conclusion: Besides descriptions of current applications of existing modeling systems, associated advantages and limitations of each modeling system and future directions for research development are discussed as well.
Scientific Reports
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) causes one in three market withdrawals due to adverse drug reactions, causing preventable human suffering and massive financial loss. We applied evidence-based methods to investigate the role of preclinical studies in predicting human DILI using two anti-diabetic drugs from the same class, but with different toxicological profiles: troglitazone (withdrawn from US market due to DILI) and rosiglitazone (remains on US market). Evidence Stream 1: A systematic literature review of in vivo studies on rosiglitazone or troglitazone was conducted (PROSPERO registration CRD42018112353). Evidence Stream 2: in vitro data on troglitazone and rosiglitazone were retrieved from the US EPA ToxCast database. Evidence Stream 3: troglitazone- and rosiglitazone-related DILI cases were retrieved from WHO Vigibase. All three evidence stream analyses were conducted according to evidence-based methodologies and performed according to pre-registered protocols. Evidence Stream...
Translating new knowledge on drug-induced liver injury into clinical practice
Frontline Gastroenterology, 2019
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of the main reasons for drug withdrawal from the market, and a cause of worldwide morbidity. Although several issues on DILI are still unsolved, there have been significant advances in new definitions and diagnosis tools. DILI is the result of a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors, and constitutes an expanding area of investigation. DILI can mimic virtually all known hepatopathies, including vascular disorders and liver tumours. As part of this broad spectrum of clinical presentations, DILI severity ranges from asymptomatic elevations of aminotransferases to acute liver failure. Although biomarkers are emerging as valuable diagnostic tools, they are not available in clinical practice. Accurate DILI diagnosis is a challenging issue, particularly the establishing of causal relationships with the culprit agent and the exclusion of competing causes of liver injury. Given that the understanding of the mechanisms inducing D...
Mechanisms of drug-induced liver injury
The AAPS Journal, 2006
The idiosyncratic nature and poor prognosis of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) make this type of reaction a major safety issue during drug development, as well as the most common cause for the withdrawal of drugs from the pharmaceutical market. The key to predicting and preventing DILI is understanding the underlying mechanisms. DILI is initiated by direct hepatotoxic effects of a drug, or a reactive metabolite of a drug. Parenchymal cell injury induces activation of innate and/or adaptive immune cells, which, in turn, produce proinfl ammatory and tissue hepatotoxic mediators, and/or mount immune reactions against drug-associated antigens. Understanding the molecular and cellular elements associated with these pathways can help identify risk factors and may ultimately facilitate the development of strategies to predict and prevent DILI.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an adverse reaction to drugs or other xenobiotics that occurs either as a predictable event when the subject is exposed to toxic doses of some compounds (acetaminophen overdose) or in an unpredictable way with many drugs in common use. Drugs can be harmful to the liver in a susceptible subject on the background of genetic and environmental factors. This accounts for modifications in the hepatic metabolism and excretion of the agent leading to cellular stress, direct cell death, activation of an adaptive immune response and a failure to adapt with progression to overt liver injury. Idiosyncratic DILI is a relative rare liver disorder but can be severe and even fatal, presenting with a variety of phenotypes, which mimic almost every other liver disease. Diagnosis of DILI relies on the exclusion of other etiologies of liver disease as specific biomarkers are still lacking. Clinical scales such as CIOMS/RUCAM can support the diagnostic process but need a refinement. A number of clinical variables, validated in prospective cohorts, can be used to predict a more severe DILI outcome. Although no pharmacological therapy has yet been adequately tested in randomized clinical trials, corticosteroids can be useful, particularly in the emergent form of DILI related to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
