Identifying Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase as a Novel Regulator of Hepatic Steatosis

ABSTRACT: Pyrimidine catabolism is implicated in hepatic steatosis. Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase (DPYD) is an enzyme responsible for uracil and thymine catabolism, and DPYD human genetic variability affects clinically observed toxicity following 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) administration. In an in vitro model of diet-inducedfatty acid-induced steatosis, the pharmacologic inhibition of DPYD resulted in protection from lipid accumulation. Additionally, a gain-of-function mutation of DPYD, created through clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) engineering, led to an increased lipid burden, which was associated with altered mitochondrial functionality in a hepatocarcionma cell line. The studies presented herein describe a novel role for DPYD in hepatocyte metabolic regulation as a modulator of hepatic steatosis.

Targeting phosphorylation of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 at serine 33 to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Project description:17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-13 (17β-HSD13) is a liver-rich lipid droplet associated protein, encoding by gene HSD17B13, that acted as an important regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism. Increased expression of 17β-HSD13 promotes hepatic lipid accumulation in rodents, and a common loss-of-function variant of HSD17B13 (rs72613567: TA) is related to better outcome in patients with various chronic liver diseases. To understand the role of 17β-HSD13 in liver lipid metabolism under normal and high-fat feeding conditions, we characterized the effect of protein phosphorylation of 17β-HSD13 on hepatic lipid homeostasis. We identify Ser33 as an important protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation site of 17β-HSD13 that physically interact with ATGL and facilitates its translocation to lipid droplets to enhance lipolysis. Mutation of Ser33 to Ala (S33A) in 17β-HSD13 reduces ATGL-dependent lipolysis and increases lipid droplet size in cultured hepatocytes by reducing CGI-58-mediated ATGL activation. Consistently, a transgenic knock-in mouse strain carrying HSD17B13 S33A mutation (HSD17B1333A/A) spontaneously develops liver steatosis with reduced lipolysis. Moreover, HSD17B1333A/A mice are more prone to high fat-induced hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Finally, we found Reproterol, a potential HSD17B13 modulator and FDA-approved drug, confers a protection against liver steatosis possibly through phosphorylation of 17β-HSD13 at Ser33 in a PKA-dependent manner. In summary, we demonstrate a critical role and the underlying mechanism of hepatic 17β-HSD13 phosphorylation in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Our findings highlight the potential of targeting 17β-HSD13 phosphorylation as a novel therapeutic approach for NAFLD.

Hepatic ACLY deficiency and bempedoic acid drive divergent responses to dietary lipid

Project description:ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) synthesizes acetyl-CoA for de novo lipogenesis (DNL), which is elevated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Hepatic ACLY is inhibited by the LDL-cholesterol lowering drug bempedoic acid (BPA), which has been shown to improve steatosis in mice. However, the acetyl-CoA synthetase ACSS2 can compensate for ACLY deficiency to support DNL, potentially complicating the targeting of ACLY. We show that hepatic loss of both ACLY and ACSS2 reduces DNL. Nevertheless, even when ACSS2 is suppressed by dietary or genetic means, we find that steatosis is counterintuitively exacerbated with hepatic ACLY deficiency in mice fed a Western diet (WD), linked to reduced expression of PPARa target genes controlling fatty acid oxidation. Conversely, BPA treatment increased fat catabolism and ameliorated WD-mediated lipid accumulation in both WT and liver ACLY knockout mice. Thus, hepatic ACLY plays an unexpected role in restraining diet-dependent lipid accumulation, and BPA improves steatosis independent of ACLY.

Measurement of deaminated cytosine adducts in DNA using a novel hybrid thymine DNA glycosylase

Project description:The hydrolytic deamination of cytosine and 5-methylcytosine drives many of the transition mutations observed in human cancer. The deamination-induced mutagenic intermediates are either uracil or thymine adducts mispaired with guanine. While a substantial array of methods exists to measure other types of DNA adducts, the cytosine deamination adducts pose unusual analytical problems and adequate methods to measure them have not yet been developed. We describe here a novel hybrid thymine DNA glycosylase, hyTDG, which is comprised of a 29-amino acid sequence from human thymine DNA glycosylase linked to a thymine glycosylase found in an archaeal thermophilic bacterium. Using defined-sequence oligonucleotides, we show that hyTDG has robust mispair-selective activity against deaminated U:G and T:G mispairs. We have further developed a method for separating glycosylase-released free bases from oligonucleotides and DNA followed by GC-MS/MS identification and quantification. Using this approach, we have measured for the first time the levels of total Uracil (U), U:G and T:G in calf thymus DNA. The method presented here will allow the measurement of the formation, persistence, and repair of a biologically important class of deaminated cytosine adducts.

Liver-specific ceramide reduction alleviates steatosis and insulin resistance in alcohol-fed mice

Project description:Alcohol’s impairment of both hepatic lipid metabolism and insulin resistance (IR) are key drivers of alcoholic steatosis, the initial stage of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Pharmacologic reduction of lipotoxic ceramide prevents alcoholic steatosis and glucose intolerance in mice, but potential off-target effects limit its strategic utility. Here, we employed a hepatic-specific acid-ceramidase (ASAH) overexpression model to reduce hepatic ceramides in a Lieber-DeCarli model of experimental alcoholic steatosis. We examined effects of alcohol on hepatic lipid metabolism, body composition, energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity as measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Our results demonstrate that hepatic ceramide reduction ameliorates the effects of alcohol on hepatic lipid droplet accumulation by promoting VLDL secretion and lipophagy, the latter of which involves ceramide cross-talk between the lysosomal and lipid droplet compartments. We additionally demonstrate that hepatic ceramide reduction prevents alcohol’s inhibition of hepatic insulin signaling. These effects on the liver are associated with a reduction in oxidative stress markers and are relevant to humans, as we observe peri-lipid droplet ASAH expression in human ALD. Together, our results suggest a potential role for hepatic ceramide inhibition in preventing ALD.

Fumarate hydratase orchestrates hepatic steatosis via ULK1 mediated lipophagy

Project description:Hepatic lipid homeostasis is coordinated by various metabolic pathways, such as lipogenesis, lipid uptake, storage, and oxidation. However, the underlying mechanism that orchestrates metabolic crosstalk remains unclarified. Herein, we demonstrated that fumarate hydratase (FH) functioned as an indispensable adaptor governing mitochondria metabolism and lipid droplets (LDs) degradation. Hepatic FH overexpression prevented hepatic steatosis in normal mice and ob/ob mice without interfering mitochondrial lipid oxidation and lipogenesis. Strikingly, we found that FH selectively activated lipophagy-mediated LDs lipidolysis. Mechanistically, FH interacted with ULK1 and stabilized ULK1 through preventing its ubiquitination and degradation, resulting in lipophagy activation and the elimination of hepatic lipid accumulation. Meanwhile, hepatic ULK1 deficiency abrogated the protective effects in FH-overexpressing mice. Also, we clarified that the interaction between FH and ULK1 occurred in cytoplasm, but not in mitochondria. Cytoplasmic FH was sensitive to lipids and downregulated without affecting mitochondrial FH in vivo. Moreover, the FH-ULK1 axis was identified closely associated with hepatic steatosis in human patients. Taken together, our research demonstrates a “two-side” insight of FH on hepatic lipid metabolism and provides a promising strategy for fatty liver treatment.

Comparison of Ildr2 knockdown by (Adv-shRNA) and Ildr2 knockout (Adv-Cre) in mouse liver

Project description:We observed that Ildr2 knockdown via adenovirally-delivered shRNA (Adv-Ildr2 shRNA) causes hepatic steatosis in mice. Acute, liver-specific Ildr2 knockout mice generated by infecting C57BL/6J mice segregating for a floxed allele of Ildr2 with adenoviral Cre recombinase (Adv-Cre) do not develop hepatic steatosis. However, administration of Adv-Ildr2 shRNA to Ildr2 knockout mice (Ildr2floxed; albumin-cre) did cause hepatic steatosis, indicating that the Adv-Ildr2 shRNA had apparent “off-target” effects on gene(s) other than Ildr2. To determine additional targets of Ildr2 shRNA that may regulate hepatic lipid metabolism, we performed RNA sequencing on liver samples from (1) Adv-Ildr2 shRNA knockdown mice, (2) Adv-lacZ shRNA control mice, and (3) Adv-Cre Ildr2 knockout mice. For the purposes of our study, we sought to identify genes downregulated by Adv-Ildr2 shRNA, but unchanged in Adv-lacZ shRNA control or Adv-Cre Ildr2 knockout mice. The hepatic steatosis observed in Adv-Ildr2 shRNA knockdown mice was likely due to shRNA targeting of other “off-target” genes. We propose that the genes candidates identified in this sequencing experiment may lead to identification of novel regulators of hepatic lipid metabolism.

Paraxonase-2 agonist, Vutiglabridin alleviates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis via autophagy activation

Project description:Limited therapeutic agents have been developed for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a common immunometabolic disease. Glabridin, a novel anti-obesity candidate, is not druggable due to low in vivo chemical stability and bioavailability. We developed vutiglabridin (VUTI) and investigated therapeutic effects, molecular targets, and mechanisms of action in NASH. VUTI was therapeutically administrated in amylin-NASH, high fat-diet induced obesity, and thioacetamide-induced hepatic fibrosis mouse models. The mechanism of action of VUTI was studied using RNA sequencing, lipidome, and proteome analyses using mouse tissues. VUTI alleviated hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and inflammation. Lipidome analysis revealed that VUTI affects the various individual lipid profiles. VUTI exerted therapeutic effects by increasing lipid catabolism, activating autophagy, and reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress, thus mitigating NASH pathogenesis. The cellular target of VUTI was paraoxonase-2 identified using chemical proteome analysis, which promotes its enzyme activity to enhance autophagy activation. VUTI, as a paraoxonase-2 agonist, mitigates all aspects of NASH and may be a promising therapeutic alternative for NASH.
