Project description:To investigate the function of miRNAs in liver, we obtained liver tissues from nonsteatotic individuals and fatty livers from patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients due to excessive alcohol consumption, autoimmune liver disease, viral hepatitis and diabetes were excluded. Nonsteatotic livers were collected from the normal region of the livers from donors who received liver resection due to liver hemangioma, and were defined as those with NASH activity scores of 0 We then performed miRNA sequencing using livers from two NAFLD patients and two nonsteatotic individuals.

Project description:Objective：Phospholipase D1 (PLD1), a phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing enzyme, has been found to be involved in cellular lipid metabolism. However, how PLD1 involves in hepatocyte lipid metabolism and thus affects non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) has not been explicitly explored. Method: NAFLD is induced in hepatocyte-specific Pld1 knockout (Pld1(H)-KO) mice or control (Pld1-Flox) mice with a high fat diet (HFD) for 20 weeks. Plasma glucose and lipid levels, liver lipid and function parameters and inflammation- and fibrogenesis-related gene expression levels were studied. Changes in lipid composition of liver were detected by lipidomic analyses. Changes in gene expression profile were detected by mRNA sequencing. In vitro, alpha mouse liver 12 (AML12) cells were incubated with sodium palmitate (SP) to explore the mechanisms of PLD1 on development of NAFLD. The protein levels of PLD1 and CD36 were detected in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients. Finally, the therapeutic effect of NAFLD by inhibiting PLD with 5-Fluoro-2-indolyl deschlorohalopemide (FIPI) was examined. Results: PLD1 expression levels were increased in the liver tissues of NAFLD patients and the hepatocytes of HFD-induced mice. Compared with Pld1-Flox mice, Pld1(H)-KO mice exhibited lower plasma glucose and lipids levels, and decreased lipid accumulation, inflammation and fibrosis related gene expression levels in the liver tissues after HFD feeding. Inhibition of hepatocyte PLD1 significantly altered lipid composition, especially phosphatidic acids (PA) and lyso-PAs (LPA) levels in the liver tissues after NAFLD. Transcriptomic analysis showed that hepatocyte specific deficiency of PLD1 mainly decreased CD36 expression levels in the NAFLD liver tissues, which was confirmed at the protein and gene expression levels. In vitro, inhibition of PLD1 markedly decreased CD36 expression and lipid accumulation in SP treated AML12 cells. Furthermore, PA, the downstream product catalyzed by PLD1, increased the expression levels of CD36 and lipid accumulation in vitro, which was reversed by PPARγ antagonist. These suggested that PPARγ played an important role in transcriptional regulation of CD36 expression after PA stimulation. Finally, PLD inhibitor FIPI had significant therapeutic effect on HFD-induced NAFLD. Conclusion: Hepatocyte-specific deficiency of PLD1 ameliorates lipid accumulation and NAFLD development by inhibiting PPARγ/CD36 pathway conducted by PA.

Project description:Background & Aims Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a wide spectrum of liver pathologies. However, not medical treatment has been approved for the disease so far. In our previous study, we found PKLR could be a potential target for treatment of NALFD. Here the aim is to investigate the effect of PKLR in in vivo model and reposition a drug which could be used for treatment of NAFLD. Results The Pklr KO reversed the increased hepatic triglyceride level in mice fed with high sucrose diet and partly recovered the transcriptomic changes in liver as well as other three tissues. Both liver and white adipose tissues exhibited dysregulated circadian transcriptomic profiles, and these dysregulations were reversed by hepatic knockout of Pklr. In addition, 10 small molecule drugs were identified as potential inhibitor of PKLR by the drug repositioning pipeline, and two of them significantly inhibited both the PKLR expression and triglyceride level in in vitro model. Finally, the two selected small molecule drugs were evaluated in in vivo rat models and it was demonstrated that these drugs attenuated hepatic steatosis without side effect on other tissues. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study provided biological insights about the critical role of PKLR in NAFLD progression and proposed a treatment strategy for NAFLD patients, which could be validated in further clinical trials.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alongside the global obesity epidemic, is rapidly emerging as a dominant liver disease etiology that leads to progressive liver fibrosis, its terminal stage, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We identified and validated a 133-gene signature (Prognostic Liver Signature for NAFLD [PLS-NAFLD]) to predict long-term HCC risk in patients with NAFLD. By analyzing PLS-NAFLD, IDO1 was identified as a potenial chemopreventive target for HCC from NAFLD. To test this hypothesis, we utilized our clinical-prognostic-signature-inducible cell culture model. We first confirmed that free fatty acid treatment (800 μM oleic acid and 400 μM palmitic acid) can induce PLS-NAFLD, then IDO1 inhibitor, epacadostat, can reverse the high-risk pattern in a dose-dependent manner.

Project description:The etiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is poorly understood, with males and Mexican population exhibiting markedly increased susceptibility. Using a systems genetics approach, involving multi-omic analysis of ~100 inbred strains, we recently identified several candidate genes driving NAFLD. We investigated the role of one of these candidates, liver pyruvate kinase (L-PK or Pklr) in NAFLD using patient samples and mouse models. We examined L-PK expression in mice of both sexes and in a cohort of bariatric surgery patients. We used liver-specific loss- and gain-of-function strategies in independent animal models of diet-induced steatosis and fibrosis, involving both sexes. Following treatment, we measured several metabolic phenotypes associated with obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, liver steatosis and fibrosis. Furthermore, liver tissues were used for gene expression and western blots, and liver mitochondria for bioenergetics. Our results demonstrate that L-PK acts in a male-specific manner in the development of liver steatosis and fibrosis. Given that NAFLD/NASH exhibit sexual dimorphism, our results have important implications for the development of personalized therapeutics.

Project description:The mechanisms by which cholesterol promotes NAFLD remain far less clear. Animal models are necessary to explore the pathogenesis and therapies of NAFLD. Several previous studies have shown that pig breeds can differ in their metabolic phenotype in response to high-energy diet. To investigate whether genetic background has profound effects on pig NAFLD phenotype and their metabolic response to dietary cholesterol intake, we performed RNA-Seq on liver tissues from two miniature pig breeds fed either standard or a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet for 6 months.

Project description:Background & Aims: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a subtype of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, is characterized by hepatic inflammation. Despite evolving therapies aimed to ameliorate inflammation in NASH, the transcriptional changes that lead to inflammation progression in NAFLD remain poorly understood. The aim of this study is to define transcriptional changes in early, non-fibrotic NAFLD using a biopsy-proven non-fibrotic NAFLD cohort. Methods: We extracted RNA from liver tissue of 40 patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD based on NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) (23 with NAS ≤3, 17 with NAS ≥5) and 21 healthy controls and compared changes in expression of 594 genes involved in innate immune function. Results: Compared to healthy controls, NAFLD patients with NAS ≥5 had differential expression of 211 genes, while those with NAS ≤3 had differential expression of only 14 genes. Notably, osteopontin (SPP1) (3.74-fold in NAS ≤3, 8.28-fold in NAS ≥5) and CXCL10 (2.27-fold in NAS ≤3, 8.28-fold in NAS ≥5) gene expression were significantly upregulated with histologic progression of NAFLD.
