Shrnutí:•An integrated application of transcriptomics and metabolomics methods was conducted to reveal mechanism of triptolide-induced liver toxicity.•Triptolide-induced toxicity occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manners.•Apoptosis might be responsible for triptolide-induced liver toxicity and not necroptosis.•PI3K/AKT, MAPK, TNFα and p53 signaling pathways might be the vital steps in triptolide-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.•Acylcarnitines could be considered as potential biomarkers. Triptolide, a major active component of Triptergium wilfordii Hook. f, is used in the treatment of autoimmune disease. However, triptolide is associated with severe adverse reactions, especially hepatotoxicity, which limits its clinical application. To examine the underlying mechanism of triptolide-induced liver injury, a combination of dose- and time-dependent toxic effects, RNA-seq and metabolomics were employed. Triptolide-induced toxicity occurred in a dose- and time-dependent manners and was characterized by apoptosis and not necroptosis. Transcriptomics profiles of the dose-dependent response to triptolide suggested that PI3K/AKT, MAPK, TNFα and p53 signaling pathways were the vital steps in triptolide-induced hepatocyte apoptosis. Metabolomics further revealed that glycerophospholipid, fatty acid, leukotriene, purine and pyrimidine metabolism were the major metabolic alterations after triptolide exposure. Finally, acylcarnitines were identified as potential biomarkers for the early detection of triptolide-induced liver injury.
