A Work model of Acetaminophen (APAP)-overdose-induced acute liver injury. B The effective efficiency of hepatic AF6 overexpression and MLKL knockout at mRNA levels was examined by RT-PCR. C The circulating levels of serum AST and ALT were measured after APAP injection in C57/BL mice by kit. D HE staining of pathological sections in APAP-overdose induced acute liver injury model and the necrosis area in liver was measured by Photoshop. E Immunoblot of proteins relating to cell death and NF-κB signaling pathway in liver after APAP injection. mRNA transcription changes of (F) inflammatory cytokines genes and (G) NF-κB targeted genes were determined by quantitative RT-PCR. Values were normalized to the mRNA level of the housekeeping gene 36b4 in the respective sample. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Pairwise comparisons between groups were conducted using two-tailed non-paired Student’s t tests. ns, not significant (p ≥ 0.05); *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
