miR-15a-3p Protects Against Isoniazid-Induced Liver Injury via Suppressing N-Acetyltransferase 2 Expression

Isoniazid (INH), an effective first-line drug for tuberculosis treatment, has been reported to be associated with hepatotoxicity for decades, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a Phase II enzyme that specifically catalyzes the acetylation of INH, and...

miR-15a-3p Protects Against Isoniazid-Induced Liver Injury via Suppressing N-Acetyltransferase 2 Expression
description Isoniazid (INH), an effective first-line drug for tuberculosis treatment, has been reported to be associated with hepatotoxicity for decades, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a Phase II enzyme that specifically catalyzes the acetylation of INH, and NAT2 expression/activity play pivotal roles in INH metabolism, drug efficacy, and toxicity. In this study, we systematically investigated the regulatory roles of microRNA (miRNA) in NAT2 expression and INH-induced liver injury via a series of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo analyses. Four mature miRNAs, including hsa-miR-15a-3p, hsa-miR-628-5p, hsa-miR-1262, and hsa-miR-3132, were predicted to target the NAT2 transcript, and a negative correlation was observed between hsa-miR-15a-3p and NAT2 transcripts in liver samples.
