The present disclosure relates to acetaminophen protein adducts and methods of diagnosing acetaminophen toxicity using the acetaminophen protein adducts. The present disclosure provides acetaminophen (APAP)-protein adducts and methods of detecting acetaminophen-induced toxicity in a subject using APAP-protein adducts. One aspect of the present disclosure provides an APAP-protein adduct for diagnosing acetaminophen-induced toxicity. According to the present disclosure, the inventors have identified proteins that are modified by N-acetyl-pbenzoquinoneimine (NAPQI) in subjects with acetaminophen-induced toxicity. Non-limiting examples of proteins modified by NAPQI include betaine-homocysteine S-methyltransferase 1, cytoplasmic aspartate aminotransferase, 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme, formimidoyltransferase-cyclodeaminase, and dystrophin.
本公开涉及对乙酰氨基酚蛋白加合物和使用对乙酰氨基酚蛋白加合物诊断对乙酰氨基酚毒性的方法。本公开提供了对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)-蛋白加合物和使用对乙酰氨基酚-蛋白加合物检测对乙酰氨基酚诱导的受试者毒性的方法。本公开的一个方面提供了一种用于诊断对乙酰氨基酚诱导的毒性的 APAP 蛋白加合物。根据本公开内容,本发明人已经在对乙酰氨基酚诱发毒性的受试者中鉴定出了被 N-乙酰基苯醌亚胺(NAPQI)修饰的蛋白质。被 NAPQI 修饰的蛋白质的非限制性实例包括甜菜碱-高半胱氨酸 S-甲基转移酶 1、细胞质天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶、1,4-α-葡聚糖分支酶、甲酰亚胺基转移酶-环脱氨酶和肌营养蛋白。
