Acetaminophen (APAP) refers to a medication used to manage pain and fever symptoms, but it always causes liver injury when overdosed. Zhishi, dried young fruit of Citrus aurantium L., is a famous Citrus herbal medicine in Asian countries which is rich in dietary phenolic substances. In this study, the mechanism of Zhishi protected against APAP-induced liver injury was studied more deeply by metabolomic strategy and pharmacological study. The metabolomics results demonstrated that Zhishi can prevent the APAP-induced liver injury model by regulating liver metabolic disorders in glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and glycerolipid metabolism. Moreover, it is confirmed that Zhishi blocked apoptosis of APAP-induced BRL-3A cell by simultaneously regulating p53 up-regulated apoptosis regulator (PUMA), AMPK-SIRT1 and JNK1 signaling pathways. Our findings indicated that Zhishi exhibited a hepaprotective effect against APAP-induced liver necrosis by inhibiting the PUMA and reversing disorder of liver lipid metabolism which could assist in improving the clinical outcomes of chemical-induced liver injury.
