Abstract：
:Gender is a factor that influences susceptibility of individuals to drug-induced liver injury in experimental animals and humans. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying resistance of female mice to acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity. Overnight-fasted male and female CD-1 mice were administered APAP intraperitoneally. A minor increase in serum alanine aminotransferase levels was observed in female mice after APAP administration at a dose that causes severe hepatotoxicity in males. Hepatic glutathione (GSH) depleted rapidly in the both genders prior to development of hepatotoxicity, whereas its recovery was more rapid in female than in male mice. This was consistent with higher induction of hepatic glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) in females. Pretreatment of mice with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GCL, exaggerated APAP hepatotoxicity only in female mice, resulting in much higher hepatotoxicity in female than in male mice. In addition, hepatic GSH was markedly depleted in BSO-pretreated female mice compared with male mice, which supports severe hepatotoxicity in BSO-pretreated females. APAP treatment highly induced multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 (Mrp4) only in female mice. The resulting high Mrp4 expression could thus contribute to decreased hepatic GSH levels via sinusoidal efflux when GCL is inhibited. In conclusion, resistance to APAP hepatotoxicity in female mice and its reversal by pretreatment with BSO could be attributed to sex differences in disposition of hepatic GSH, which may generally determine susceptibility to drug-induced liver injury.
