Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using specific inhibitors, we revealed that Acrolein, a low molecular-weight aldehyde produced under oxidative stress, is an exacerbation factor of acetaminophen-induced liver failure in mouse. From the analysis of DNase γ gene knock-out mouse, we also found that DNase γ cooperates with DNase I in inhibiting the liver failure by accelerating DNA degradation and sequestration/removal of dead cells.
