RNA sequencing of liver tissues from liver-specific Usp39 knockout (Usp39-HKO) mice

ABSTRACT: Regulation of alternative splicing (AS) is crucial for gene expression and enables a single transcript to yield multiple isoforms that increase transcriptome and proteome diversity. Dysregulated AS has been linked to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). However, the splicing factors involved in hepatic homeostasis and their functional mechanisms remain to be further characterized. Here, we report that spliceosome component Usp39 plays a critical role in the regulation of hepatocyte lipid homeostasis. We found that Usp39 expression is downregulated in hepatic tissues of NAFLD and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) subjects. We observed increased lipid accumulation, spontaneous steatosis and impaired autophagy, lipophagy in particular, in mice with hepatocyte-specific Usp39 deletion. Combined analysis of RIP-seq and RNA-seq data revealed that Usp39 regulates AS of several autophagy-related genes including Hsf1. More specifically, deletion of Usp39 resulted in alternative 5’ splice site selection of exon 6 in Hsf1 and consequently reduced expression. Hsf1 was also found to be downregulated in NAFLD/NASH mice and patients. Importantly, overexpression of Hsf1 restored lipophagy, attenuated lipid accumulation and alleviated NASH caused by Usp39 deficiency. Taken together, our findings indicate that Usp39-mediated AS is crucial for sustaining lipophagy and lipid homeostasis in the liver.

Liver lipophagy ameliorates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis through lysosomal lipid exocytosis

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive disorder with aberrant lipid accumulation and subsequent inflammatory and profibrotic response. Lipid reduction through cytoplasmic lipolysis might adversely worsen steatohepatitis, however, the effect of autophagic lipolysis, lipophagy, remains obscure. We engineered the adaptor protein to induce lipophagy with lipid droplet targeting signal and modified LC3 interacting region. Activating hepatocyte lipophagy obviously mitigated both steatosis and NASH pathology. Mechanistically, lipophagy promoted the excretion of lipid from liver via lysosomal exocytosis and attenuated harmful accumulation of nonesterified fatty acid. This exocytosis was dependent on Ca2+ signal unlike the lysosomal dysfunction-related exocytosis. High content compound screening identified alpelisib and digoxin, clinically-approved compounds, as effective activators of lipophagy. Administration of alpelisib or digoxin inhibited the transition to steatohepatitis in mice fed high fat with low methionine low choline diet. Given all these data, activating lipophagy may be a promising therapeutic approach to prevent NASH progression.

Tid1 Deficiency Disrupting Mitochondria to Drive NASH-Dependent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is a significant risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, a preclinical model of progressive NAFLD/NASH is largely lacking. Here, we report that mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion of Tid1, encoding a mitochondrial cochaperone, tended to develop NASH-dependent HCC. Mice with hepatic Tid1 deficiency showed impairing mitochondrial function and causing fatty acid metabolic dysregulation; meanwhile, sequentially developed fatty liver, NASH, and cirrhosis/HCC in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced oxidative environment. The pathological signatures of human NASH, including cholesterol accumulation and activation of inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways, are also present in these mice. Clinically, low Tid1 expression was associated with unfavorable prognosis in patients with HCC. Empirically, hepatic Tid1 deficiency directly disrupts entire mitochondria that play a key role in the NASH-dependent HCC development. Overall, we established a new mouse model that develops NASH-dependent HCC and provides a promising approach to improve the treatment.

Microarray analysis among non-alcoholic fatty liver, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus rats

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) has the potential to progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or to promote type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, NASH and T2DM do not always develop coordinately. We established rat models of NAFL, NASH, and NAFL + T2DM to recapitulate different phenotypes associated with NAFLD and its progression. Microarrays were used to identify hepatic gene expression changes in each of these models. The goal is to identify a predictor of different NAFLD progressions. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is recognized as a low-grade systemic inflammatory state with both hepatic and extra-hepatic manifestations. We aimed to identify common key regulators and adaptive pathways in different NAFLD phenotypes. NAFL, NASH and NAFL+T2DM rat models were used to represent simple fatty liver, fatty liver with severe hepatic manifestations, and fatty liver with severe metabolic manifestations, respectively. We applied microarray analysis to characterize the key regulators and adaptive pathways in different NAFLD phenotypes. There are 12 samples in our study which belonged to 4 groups, and each group contains 3 different samples.

HEPATIC TRANSCRIPTOME SIGNATURES IN PATIENTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE COMPARED TO HEALTHY NORMAL-WEIGHT INDIVIDUALS

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis (NAFL), over non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with or without fibrosis, to cirrhosis with end-stage disease. The hepatic molecular events underlying the development of NAFLD and transition to NASH are poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine hepatic transcriptome dynamics in patients with NAFL or NASH compared to healthy normal-weight and obese individuals. RNA sequencing and quantitative histomorphometry of liver fat, inflammation and fibrosis was performed on liver biopsies obtained from healthy normal weight (n=14) and obese (n=12) individuals, NAFL (n=15) and NASH (n=16) patients. Normal weight and obese subjects showed normal liver histology and comparable gene expression profiles. Liver transcriptome signatures were largely overlapping in NAFL and NASH patients, however, clearly separated from healthy normal-weight and obese controls. Most marked pathway perturbations identified in both NAFL and NASH were associated with markers of lipid metabolism, immunomodulation, extracellular matrix remodeling and cell cycle control. Interestingly, NASH patients with positive Sonic hedgehog hepatocyte staining showed distinct transcriptome and histomorphometric changes compared to NAFL. In conclusion, application of immunohistochemical markers of hepatocyte injury may serve as a more objective tool for distinguishing NASH from NAFL, facilitating improved resolution of hepatic molecular changes associated with progression of NAFLD.

NASH

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

Myocardial infarction accelerates hepatic pathological progression of NASH by triggering immunoinflammatory response and induction of periostin

Project description:Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), especially advanced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to the production of pro-inflammatory factors, vasoactive and thrombogenic molecules, or insulin resistance and related disorders. While elevated risk and incidence of CVD events in NAFLD/NASH are well established, whether such events will, in turn, influence the pathogenesis of NAFLD remains unknown. Here, we show that myocardial infarction (MI) accelerates the linear hepatic pathological progression of NAFLD. In humans, NAFLD patients who experienced CVD events after their diagnosis of NAFLD show a rapid progression of hepatic fibrosis. In mouse models of NASH, MI promotes hepatic fibrosis, accompanied by elevated circulating Ly6Chi monocytes and their recruitment to the damaged liver tissues. Depleting these cells abrogate MI-induced hepatic pathological effects in mice with NASH. Meanwhile, MI substantially elevates circulating and cardiac periostin contents, which act on hepatocytes and stellate cells to promote hepatic lipid accumulation and fibrosis, finally exacerbating hepatic pathological progression of NASH. Additionally, specific silence of cardiac periostin markedly attenuates MI-induced hepatic pathological progression of mice with NASH. These preclinical and clinical results demonstrate that MI alternates systemic homeostasis and upregulates the production of pro-fibrotic factors, triggering cross-disease communication that accelerates hepatic pathological progression of NAFLD.

Expression data from hepatocyte specific Klf6 knockout mice vs. control on high fat diet

Project description:Dysregulated glucose homeostasis and lipid accumulation characterize non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but underlying mechanisms are obscure. We report here that KrÃ¼ppel-like factor 6 (KLF6), a ubiquitous transcription factor that promotes adipocyte differentiation, also provokes the metabolic abnormalities of NAFLD. Mice with either hepatocyte-specific knockdown of KLF6 (DeltaHepKlf6) or global KLF6 heterozygosity (Klf6 +/-) have reduced body fat content and improved glucose and insulin tolerance. Mice with KLF6 depletion, compared to wild type mice, are protected from high fat diet-induced steatosis. Three mice with a hepatocyte-specific knockdown of KLF6 (DeltaHepKlf6) on high fat diet and 3 littermate controls on the same diet were sacrificed after 8 weeks of diet. Liver tissue was preserved in RNAlaterÂ® (Ambion, Austin, TX). RNA was isolated from liver tissue and homogenized in TRIzolÂ® reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). In order to identify potential KLF6 targets that contributed to changes in glucose- and lipid-metabolism, we performed an Affymetrix Exon1 S.T. GenearrayÂ® (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).
