Transcriptomic analysis of liver mRNA from liver-specific Pck1-knockout mice fed with chow diet or NASH diet

ABSTRACT: To investigate the role of hepatic Pck1 in diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver-specific Pck1-knockout mice were developed with Alb-Cre. Wild-type (WT) and Pck1-cKO mice were fed a Chow diet (Research Diets, D12450J: 10% Kcal fat, with tap water) or NASH-inducing diet (Research Diets, D12492: 60% Kcal fat, with drinking water containig 23.1 g/L fructose and 18.9 g/L glucose) for 24 weeks. RNA was extracted from the livers of mice from all treatment groups and used for RNA seqencing. RNA-seq data demonstrated that gluconeogenic enzyme PCK1 deficiency played an important role in the development of NASH.

Project description:The role and molecular mechanisms of intermittent fasting (IF) in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its transition to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are unknown. Here, we identified that an IF 5:2 regimen (two non-consecutive days of food deprivation per week), initiated in the active phase of mice, prevents NASH development as well as ameliorates established NASH and fibrosis without affecting total calorie intake. Furthermore, the IF 5:2 regimen also blunted NASH-HCC transition when applied therapeutically in two independent models of diet-induced NASH and NASH-HCC. The timing (7pm-7pm > 7am-7am), length (24h > 12h) and number (5:2 > 6:1) of fasting cycles as well as the type (WD / CDHFD) of NASH diet were all critical parameters determining the effectiveness of the fasting benefits. Combined proteome, transcriptome and metabolome analyses identified that PPARα and glucocorticoid signalling-induced phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) act co-operatively as hepatic executors of the fasting response by promoting fatty acid catabolism and gluconeogenesis while suppressing anabolic lipogenesis. In line, PPARα targets and PCK1 were reduced in human NASH. Notably, only fasting during the active phase (7pm-7pm) of mice robustly induced glucocorticoid signalling in hepatocytes including PCK1 expression; while both active and inactive phase (7am-7am) fasting induced free fatty acid-induced PPARα signalling, highlighting the increased efficacy of fasting during the active phase. However, hepatocyte-specific glucocorticoid receptor (GR) deletion only partially abrogated the hepatic fasting response, illustrating the need for both glucocorticoid-induced PCK1 expression and free fatty acid-induced PPARα activation for mediating the benefits of fasting. In support, the combined knockdown of Ppara and Pck1 in vivo abolished the beneficial outcomes of fasting against inflammation and fibrosis, confirming their causal relationship in integrating systemic signalling in hepatocytes. Moreover, overexpression of Pck1 alone or together with Ppara in vivo lowered hepatic triglycerides and steatosis upon Western-diet feeding. Altogether, our data support that the IF 5:2 regimen could be a promising and viable intervention against NASH and subsequent liver cancer.

Project description:Background: Post-menopausal obesity is an established risk factor for breast cancer. Consumption of diets high in fat is known to be highly correlated with obesity. In this, we sought to evaluate the interaction(s) between high fat diet, weight gain and mammary carcinogenesis using an obese-resistant and obese-prone rat model with direct correlates to human disease. Methods: Female obese-prone (OP) and obese-resistant (OR) weanling rats were placed on either a low fat (10% kcal) or a high fat (39% kcal) n-6 polyunsaturated (PUFA) safflower diet for 30 days. At post natal day (PND) 50, global gene expression profiling was performed on microdissected mammary epithlelium from one cohort of rats and another cohort of rats were given a single oral gavage of either 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA at 14 mg/kg) or vehicle. Rats were then maintained on the diets and body weights, food consumption and development of mammary lesions were monitored weekly. Results: The DMBA-treated OR rats on the 39% safflower diet had significantly greater incidence of ductal carcinoma-in-situ (DCIS) lesions and significantly greater DCIS multiplicity than DMBA-treated OR rats on the 10% safflower diet. These differences were not seen in the OP strain. Gene expression analysis of mammary ductal epithelium from OR rats on the high fat diet showed significant upregulation of proliferation-related genes compared to those consuming the low fat safflower diet. Again, these differences were not seen in the OP strain. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that consumption of high fat safflower diet enhances mammary carcinogenesis in an OR rat strain through increased proliferation of mammary epithelium at the time of exposure, but not in the OP rat strain. Thus, the diet-induced increase in sensitivity was strain-specific and independent of weight gain or obesity level. Female obese-prone (OP) and obese-resistant (OR) weanling rats were placed on either a low fat (10% kcal) or a high fat (39% kcal) n-6 polyunsaturated (PUFA) safflower diet for 30 days. At post natal day (PND) 50, global gene expression profiling was performed on microdissected mammary epithlelium from one cohort of rats and another cohort of rats were given a single oral gavage of either 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA at 14 mg/kg) or vehicle. Rats were then maintained on the diets and body weights, food consumption and development of mammary lesions were monitored weekly.
