Phenylethyl isothiocyanate mitigates drug-induced liver injury in mice by inhibiting hepatocyte pyroptosis through the NLRP3-caspase-1-GSDMD pathway by Ning An, Xiaoru Wang, Jia Qin, Meng Cheng, Mei Bai, Jingcai Cheng, Qiang Xu, Xuefeng Wu

“…In vitro studies using cultured hepatocytes further demonstrated that PEITC inhibited the expression and activation of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, and other key proteins involved in the pyroptosis pathway. Ultrastructural analysis via electron microscopy corroborated these findings, revealing that PEITC prevented pyroptosis-induced membrane pore formation in hepatocytes.Conclusions: PEITC exerts hepatoprotective effects against DILI by targeting the pyroptosis pathway, thereby highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for liver injuries. …”
