Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of disease that ranges from simple steatosis, to inflammatory form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and up to hepatocellular carcinoma. While NASH usually takes decades to develop at a rate of one stage per seven years, in the case of post-trasplant NASH (pt-NASH) develops fibrosis much more rapidly, with almost 50% of liver transplant recipients presenting stage 3 fibrosis by 5 years post-transplant. Archived fresh-frozen transplanted liver biopsy samples from four liver biopsy samples with evidence of NASH (2 recurrent and 2 de novo), two with simple steatosis (both de novo), and five with normal histology as controls had their transcriptome sequenced in two batches for deeper coverage.

Project description:Objective: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is linked to obesity and diabetes, suggesting an important role of adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Here we aim to investigate the interaction between adipose tissue and liver in NAFLD, and identify potential early plasma markers that predict NASH. Research Design and Methods: C57Bl/6 mice were chronically fed a high fat diet to induce NAFLD and compared with mice fed low fat diet. Extensive histological and phenotypical analyses coupled with a time-course study of plasma proteins using multiplex assay was performed. Results: Mice exhibited pronounced heterogeneity in liver histological scoring, leading to classification into 4 subgroups: LF-low (LFL) responders displaying normal liver morphology, LF-high (LFH) responders showing benign hepatic steatosis, HF-low (HFL) responders displaying pre-NASH with macrovesicular lipid droplets, and HF-high (HFH) responders exhibiting overt NASH characterized by ballooning of hepatocytes, presence of Mallory bodies, and activated inflammatory cells. Compared to HFL responders, HFH mice gained weight more rapidly and exhibited adipose tissue dysfunction characterized by decreased final fat mass, enhanced macrophage infiltration and inflammation, and adipose tissue remodelling. Plasma haptoglobin, IL-1β, TIMP-1, adiponectin and leptin were significantly changed in HFH mice. Multivariate analysis indicated that in addition to leptin, plasma CRP, haptoglobin, eotaxin and MIP-1α early in the intervention were positively associated with liver triglycerides. Intermediate prognostic markers of liver triglycerides included IL-18, IL-1β, MIP-1γ and MIP-2, whereas insulin, TIMP-1, GCP-2 and MPO emerged as late markers. Conclusions: Our data support the existence of a tight relationship between adipose tissue dysfunction and NASH pathogenesis and point to several novel potential predictive biomarkers for NASH. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Male wildtype C57Bl/6 mice were fed LFD or HFD for 21 weeks. Mice were divided into 4 groups based on liver histology.

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and liver injury, has become a leading cause of end-stage liver diseases and liver transplantation. Krüppel-like factors 10 (KLF10) is a Cys2/His2 zinc finger transcription factor that regulates cell growth, apoptosis, and differentiation. However, whether it plays a role in the development and progression of chronic liver diseases like NASH remains poorly understood. In the present study, we found that KLF10 expression was selectively upregulated in the mouse models and human patients with NASH, compared with simple steatosis (NAFL). Gain- and loss-of function studies demonstrated that hepatocyte-specific overexpression of KLF10 aggravated, whereas its depletion alleviated diet-induced NASH pathogenesis in mice. Mechanistically, transcriptomic analysis and subsequent functional experiments showed that KLF10 promotes hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammation through the palmitoylation and plasma membrane localization of fatty acid translocase CD36 via transcriptionally activation of zDHHC7. Indeed, both expression of zDHHC7 and palmitoylation of CD36 are required for the pathogenic roles of KLF10 in NASH progression. Thus, our results identify an important role for KLF10 in NAFL-to-NASH development through zDHHC7-mediated CD36 palmitoylation.

Project description:Comparison between livers of FLS mice and livers of DS (DD shionogi) mice We used FLS mice as model animals of human NASH, while DS mice as control animals. FLS mice develops NASH spontaneously. DS mouse strain is a sister strain of the FLS mouse strain. We compared RNA from pooled livers of three FLS mice and three DS mice at 19 weeks. NASH in livers from FLS mice was confirmied pathologically while simple steatosis of DS mouse livers confirmed.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are not completely elucidated. In this study we have integrated gene expression profiling of liver biopsies of NASH patients with translational studies in a mouse model of steatohepatitis and with pharmacological interventions in isolated hepatocytes to identify a novel mechanism implicated in the pathogenesis of NASH. By using high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis we identified a significant enrichment of known genes involved in the multi-step catalysis of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including delta-5 and 6 desaturases. A combined inhibitor of delta-5 and delta-6 desaturases significantly reduced intracellular lipid accumulation and inflammatory gene expression in isolated hepatocytes. Gas chromatography analysis revealed impaired delta-5 desaturase activity toward the omega-3 pathway in livers from mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NASH. Consistently, restoration of omega-3 index in transgenic fat-1 mice expressing an omega-3 desaturase, which allows the endogenous conversion of omega-6 into omega-3 fatty acids, produced a significant reduction in hepatic insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, macrophage infiltration and necroinflammatory liver injury, accompanied by attenuated expression of genes involved in inflammation, fatty acid uptake and lipogenesis. These results were comparable to those obtained in a group of mice receiving a HFD supplemented with EPA/DHA. Of interest, hepatocytes from fat-1 mice or supplemented with EPA exhibited synergistic anti-steatotic and anti-inflammatory actions with the delta-5/ delta-6 inhibitor. Conclusion: These findings indicate that both endogenous and exogenous restoration of the hepatic balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and/or modulation of desaturase activities exert preventive actions in NASH. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 18185 genes for liver sample groups: 8 non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH ) and 7 control samples. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Our objective is to determine the role of myeloid FoxO1 in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism and its contribution to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice. We generated mice with conditional FoxO1 depletion in myeloid cells, using the FoxO1-LoxP/LysM-Cre system. We then fed myeloid cell-conditional FoxO1-knockout and wild-type male mice a NASH-inducing diet for 25 weeks. Then mice in both groups were euthanized and the liver tissues were procured for the preparation of total RNAs, which were subjected to RNA-seq assay. While myeloid FoxO1 was upregulated in animal models and human subjects with NASH, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. We found that myeloid cell conditional FoxO1-knockout mice were protected from developing NASH, culminating in the reduction of hepatic inflammation, steatosis and fibrosis. Mechanistically, FoxO1 counteracts Stat6 to skew macrophage polarization from M2 toward M1 signatures to perpetuate hepatic inflammation in NASH. FoxO1 appears as a pivotal mediator of macrophage activation in response to overnutrition and a therapeutic target for ameliorating hepatic inflammation to stem the disease progression from benign steatosis to NASH.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the number one cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, with 25% of these patients developing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH significantly increases the risk of cirrhosis and decompensated liver failure. Past studies in rodent models have shown the knockout of glycine-N-methyltransferase (GNMT) results in rapid pro-gression of steatosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the attenuation of GNMT in subjects with NASH and the molecular basis for its impact on the disease process are still unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we show the reduction of GNMT protein levels in the liver of NASH subjects compared to healthy controls. To gain insight into the impact of decreased GNMT in the disease process, we performed global label-free proteome studies on the livers from a murine Western diet-based model of NASH. Histological and molecular characterization of the animal model demonstrate high resemblance to the human disease.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which accounts for 90% of all primary livers tumors, is the fourth most common cancer in the world. The development of HCC is a long-term and complex process, and uncovering the molecular mechanisms associated with HCC development is critical for the disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Exploring these mechanisms using human HCC samples is desirable, but frequently impractical, with a number of limitations and shortcomings. The STAMTM (Stelic Institute & Co, Tokyo, Japan) mouse model of NASH-associated liver carcinogenesis is considered a useful and relevant model for investigating the molecular pathogenesis of NASH-derived HCC. This model resembles the human HCC development associated with progression from simple steatosis to NASH, fibrosis, and HCC. In the present study, by using high-throughput whole genome microarrays (SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression v2, 8x60K; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA), we examined the transcriptomic profiles in the livers of STAMTM mice at different stages of liver carcinogenesis, including steatosis (6 week time interval), NASH (8 weeks), fibrotic stage (12 weeks), and in full-fledged HCC (20 weeks). The results of microarray analyses showed significant progressive changes in hepatic gene expression during the development of HCC. A total of 970, 1462, 2742, and 2857 of differentially expressed genes were identified in the livers at 6, 8, 12, and 20 weeks, respectively. Detailed analysis of these differentially expressed genes will benefit the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-derived HCC. Transcriptomic profile in the liver of STAM mice at 6 weeks (steatosis; n=3), 8 weeks (steatohepatitis; n=3) 12 weeks (fibrosis; n=4) and 20 weeks (HCC-stage tumor tissue, n=4) weeks. Age-matched control samples were also analyzed.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by a series of pathological changes that can progress from simple fatty liver disease to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The objective of this study is to describe changes in global gene expression associated with the progression of NAFLD. This study is focused on the expression levels of genes responsible for the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of drugs. Differential gene expression between three clinically defined pathological groups; normal, steatosis and NASH was analyzed. The samples were diagnosed as normal, steatotic, NASH with fatty liver (NASH fatty) and NASH without fatty liver (NASH NF). Genome-wide mRNA levels in samples of human liver tissue were assayed with Affymetrix GeneChipM-. Human 1.0ST arrays
