Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe form of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that is characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, hepatocellular injury, and fibrosis, which lead to progressed cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its increasing prevalence on a global scale, the pathogenesis of NASH progression is not well understood. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of NASH progression, we conducted transcriptome analyses of Japanese NAFLD cohort in our facility.

Project description:The escalating prevalence of metabolic diseases, driven by the rapid increase in obesity rates, necessitates effective therapeutic strategies. Insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease represent significant metabolic disorders. Atractylodin exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, suggesting potential hepatoprotective effects against acute liver damage. As therapeutic interventions for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are lacking, this study aims to elucidate the pharmacological impact of Atractylodin on lipid and glucose metabolism.

Project description:With an estimated prevalence of about 30% in western countries non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health issue [PMID: 18956290]. NAFLD is associated with the metabolic syndrome of insulin resistance, obesity, glucose intolerance. Although many studies are pointing to an induction of insulin resistance by NAFLD causality between both phenotypes is not fully clarified. Furthermore, mechanisms leading to strongly differing progression of NAFLD have to be elucidated which range from mild steatosis up to severe steatohepatitis. Steatohepatitis might even result in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Additional complexity is introduced into the understanding of the disease by recent studies providing evidence for a direct development of carcinoma from steatosis without the formerly assumed intermediary phase of cirrhosis. Here, we investigate liver samples from patients with varying severities of steatosis in an integrative approach employing transcriptomics, serum biomarker profling, metabolomics data and systems biology models. Total RNA obtained from hepatocytes derived from nine obese patients with distinct grades of steatosis. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:We report two malignant sacrococcygeal tumors in infants that were associated with pathogenic DICER1 variation. These tumors were composed of primitive neuroepithelium, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and cartilage and initially diagnosed as immature teratomas. One child developed intracranial metastasis and died. The second child underwent surgery and chemotherapy and achieved complete remission. This child subsequently developed five additional DICER1-associated neoplasms by age nine. Genetic analysis revealed that both tumors harbored biallelic pathogenic DICER1 variation. We believe these cases represent another novel subtype of DICER1-associated tumor. This new entity, which we propose to call DICER1-associated presacral malignant teratoid neoplasm, may be difficult initially to distinguish from immature teratoma, but recognizing it as an entity can prompt appropriate classification as an aggressive malignancy and facilitate appropriate genetic counseling, DICER1 germline variant testing, screening, and education.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly malignant tumor associated with poor prognosis, yet the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we showed that LYAR, a nucleolar protein, expresses at a higher level in CRC than adjacent normal tissue and LYAR expression is closely associated with distant CRC metastasis. LYAR not only significantly promotes the migration and invasion of CRC cells in vitro, also the knockdown (KD) of LYAR in CRC cells inhibits xenograft tumor metastasis in vivo. Microarray analysis of LYAR KD cells combined with ChIP assay, gene reporter assay and rescue experiment indicate that FSCN1 (encoding fascin actin-bundling protein 1, Fascin-1) serves as a new key regulator of the LYAR-promoted migration and invasion of CRC cells. Knockdown of FSCN1 significantly inhibits subcutaneous tumorigenesis of CRC cells, and leads to the down-regulation of FASN and SCD, genes encoding key enzymes in fatty acid synthesis. In summary, this study reveals a novel mechanism by which LYAR promotes tumor cell migration and invasion by up-regulating FSCN1 expression and affecting fatty acid metabolism in CRC.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has a prevalence of ~25% worldwide, with significant public health consequences, yet few effective treatments. Human genetics can help elucidate novel biology and identify targets of new therapeutics. Genetic variants in mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component 1 (MTARC1) have been associated with NAFLD and liver-related mortality, however, its pathophysiological role and the cell type(s) mediating these effects remain unclear. We aimed to investigate how MTARC1 exerts its effects on NAFLD by integrating human genetics with in vitro and in vivo studies of mARC1 knockdown. Methods: Analyses including multi-trait colocalization and mendelian randomization were used to assess the genetic associations of MTARC1. In addition, we established an in vitro long-term primary human hepatocyte model with metabolic readouts and used the Gubra GAN-diet NASH mouse model treated with hepatocyte specific GalNAc-siRNA to understand the in vivo impacts of MTARC1. Results: We show that genetic variants within the MTARC1 locus are associated with liver enzymes, liver fat, plasma lipids and body composition and these associations are due to the same causal variant (p.A165T, rs2642438 G>A), suggesting a shared mechanism. We demonstrated that increased MTARC1 mRNA had an adverse effect on these traits using Mendelian Randomization, implying therapeutic inhibition of mARC1 could be beneficial. In vitro mARC1 knockdown decreased lipid accumulation and increased triglyceride secretion and in vivo GalNAc-siRNA mediated knockdown of mARC1 lowered hepatic, but increased plasma triglycerides. We found alterations in pathways regulating lipid metabolism and decreased secretion of 3-hydroxybutyrate upon mARC1 knockdown in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions: Collectively, our findings from human genetics, and in vitro and in vivo hepatocyte-specific mARC1 knockdown support the potential efficacy of hepatocyte-specific targeting of mARC1 for treatment of NAFLD.

Project description:Background Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was recently proposed to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is defined as ectopic fat deposition in the liver. Hepatic steatosis is an independent predictor for insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk and hence mortality. The aim of present study was to investigate the urine molecular pattern and potential urine biomarker to distinguish healthy control, mild and severe hepatic steatosis in MAFLD patients using proteomic data. Method Hepatic steatosis was measured by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that measure the proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). Proteomic measurements of urine samples were done by mass spectrometry. Linear regression analyses were used to detect significant associations between the biomarkers and clinical parameters. Western blot and Elisa were performed for validation. Results Multiple pathways have been compromised in MAFLD, including the carbohydrate derivative catabolic process, glycosaminoglycan process, aminoglycan metabolic process, inflammatory response, insulin-like growth factor receptor and GTPase complex. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1) and ceruloplasmin were finally identified to be potential urine biomarkers to detect mild/severe hepatic steatosis.
