摘要

Dear Editor, We read with interest a recent paper by Helal and Samra reporting the effect of irbesartan in a mouse model of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury. After a dose of 500 mg/kg APAP, the authors administered 50 or 75 mg/kg irbesartan at 1 and 12 h after APAP and measured a number of parameters related to injury and various mechanistic aspects at 24 h. The authors demonstrated profound protection (close to 100% based on plasma alanine ami-notransferase activities) and concluded that irbesartan treatment is safe due to its antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. On the positive side, the authors used mice, which is a clinically relevant model, and administered the intervention after APAP, which is therapeutically relevant. However, we have concerns regarding the validity of the mechanistic conclusions because there is virtually no apoptotic cell death in this model; the inflammatory response does not contribute to the injury but is important for repair, and lipid peroxidation (LPO) is not a relevant cell injury mechanism in APAP hepatotoxicity. Our concern is not so much related to the use of irbesartan as an antidote against APAP-induced liver injury because there are other more promising drug candidates in development. We are concerned that this manuscript is just an example of the current trend of countless intervention studies that copy each other's experimental approach and conclusions, which in our opinion, are not justified by the data and, in most cases, are simply wrong.
