Figure Lengend Snippet: a : Volcano plots shows upregulated and downregulated genes from RNA transcriptome data of group treated with 750 mg/kg APAP for 6 h compared to the saline group (Fold change ≥ 1.5, P < 0.05; n = 3 mice/group). b : Chac1 mRNA expression in mouse liver tissues treated with saline or 300 and 750 mg/kg APAP for 3, 6, or 12 h. c : Chac1 mRNA expression in PMHs with or without 20 mM APAP challenge for 1, 3, 6, and 12 h was analysed by RT-qPCR. d : Immunohistochemical staining of CHAC1 in liver sections from healthy controls ( n = 9) and patients with AILI ( n = 9), followed by immunohistochemical score of liver tissue. The black arrow indicates positive staining. Scale bar = 100 μm. e, f : Quantification of GSH and GSSG in the liver tissues of Chac1 + /+ Ad-GFP, Chac1 - /- Ad-GFP, and Chac1 - /- Ad-CHAC1 mice treated with saline or 300 mg/kg APAP for 2 and 6 h. g : S-glutathionylated proteins in the liver tissues of Chac1 + /+ Ad-GFP and Chac1 - /- Ad-GFP mice treated with 300 mg/kg APAP for 2 and 6 h were analysed by western blots with anti-glutathione. Ponceau S staining was used as an internal reference. The relative expression levels of S-glutathionylated proteins after APAP treatment for 6 h were quantified. h : S-glutathionylated proteins and CHAC1-FLAG protein in the liver tissues of Chac1 - /- Ad-GFP and Chac1 - /- Ad-CHAC1 mice treated with 300 mg/kg APAP for 6 h were analysed by western blotting. i : Serum levels of ALT and AST in Chac1 + /+ Ad-GFP, Chac1 - /- Ad-GFP, and Chac1 - /- Ad-CHAC1 mice treated with saline or 300 mg/kg APAP for 6 h. j : H&E staining, TUNEL staining and 4-HNE protein adducts staining in liver tissues of Chac1 + /+ Ad-GFP, Chac1 - /- Ad-GFP and Chac1 - /- Ad-CHAC1 mice treated with 300 mg/kg APAP for 6 h. Scale bars = 200 μm. The hepatocyte necrosis area, TUNEL-positive area, and immunohistochemical score for 4-HNE protein adduct staining were quantified. AILI, APAP-induced liver injury; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; APAP, acetaminophen; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; H&E, haematoxylin and eosin; PMH, primary mouse hepatocyte
Article Snippet: Sections were incubated with an anti-rabbit CHAC1 (Proteintech, Cat. # 15207-1-AP) and anti-rabbit 4HNE (Abcam, Cat. # ab46545) antibody at 4°C overnight.
