Resolvin D1 attenuated liver injury caused by chronic ethanol and acute LPS challenge in mice

ABSTRACT: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major health problem with limited effective treatment options. Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is a subset of severe ALD with a high rate of mortality due to infection, severe inflammation, and ultimately multi-organ failure. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches to alleviate the human suffering associated with this condition. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) promotes the resolution of inflammation and regulates immune responses. The current study aimed to test the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of RvD1-mediated effects on liver injury and inflammation in an experimental animal model that mimics severe AH in humans. Our data demonstrated that mice treated with RvD1 had attenuated liver injury and inflammation caused by EtOH and LPS exposure by limiting hepatic neutrophil accumulation and decreasing hepatic levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, RvD1 treatment attenuated hepatic pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of cell death, via downregulation of pyroptosis-related genes such as GTPase family member b10 and guanylate binding protein 2, and reducing cleavage of caspase 11 and gasdermin-D. In vitro experiments with primary mouse hepatocytes and bone marrow-derived macrophages confirmed the effectiveness of RvD1 in the attenuation of pyroptosis. In summary, our data demonstrated that RvD1 treatment provided beneficial effects against liver injury and inflammation in an experimental animal model recapitulating features of severe AH in humans. Our results suggest that RvD1 may be a novel adjunct strategy to traditional therapeutic options for AH patients.

Project description:Background & aims: The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH) and their potential as therapeutic targets in liver disease has not been explored yet. This study aims at profiling miRNA in AH and identifying dysregulated miRNAs involved in AH pathophysiology. Methods: miRNA expression arrays were performed in 13 AH, 5 alcohol liver disease-induced cirrhosis (ALD-CH), 5 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced cirrhosis (NASH-CH), 4 HCV-induced cirrhosis (HCV-CH) and 6 non-injured liver control samples. Genome wide expression profile was retrieved for 12 paired AH and control samples. MiRNA and mRNA expression data was integrated and identified miRNAs were validated in AH samples and in animal models of liver injury. Results:Â The miRNA array showed 111 upregulated and 66 downregulated miRNAs in AH versus healthy subjects. The comparison of miRNA profile in liver samples from AH among ALD-CH, HCV-CH and NASH-CH identified 18 miRNAs specifically dysregulated in AH. Integrative miRNA and mRNA analysis in AH identified dysregulated miRNAs for which their target genes were also dysregulated. A functional analysis of identified miRNAs and their targets revealed their involvement in the regulation of canonical pathways related to apoptosis, fatty acid metabolism and cell cycle among others. miRNAs expression (miR-182, miR-21, miR-155, miR-214, miR-432, miR-422a) was validated in an independent cohort of AH. MiR-182 expression correlated with cholestasis, disease severity and short-term mortality. Moreover, miR-182 expression is associated to cholestasis with ductular reaction but not to fibrosis and inflammation in animal models of liver injury. Conclusions:Â AH is characterized by an important dysregulation of miRNA expression with a unique miRNA profile. MiRNAs specifically expressed in AH are associated to cholestasisâ¦ Uncovered miRNAs are involved in important pathophysiological features in AH suggesting ta regulation of he role of miRNAs in the regulation of AH, and highlight miR-182 as a potential regulator of its pathophysiology. miRNA expression arrays were performed in 13 AH(Alcoholic hepatitis), 5 alcohol liver disease-induced cirrhosis (ALD-CH), 5 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced cirrhosis (NASH-CH), 4 HCV-induced cirrhosis (HCV-CH) and 6 non-injured liver control samples(CTRL).

Project description:BACKGROUND: Alcohol-related liver disease ranges from silent alcoholic steatohepatitis (sASH), an asymptomatic and compensated phenotype, to life- threatening alcoholic hepatitis (AH). A systematic comparative study of the clinical, histological and molecular features of these subtypes is lacking. METHODS : Two large cohorts of patients were recruited in an international, observational multi-center study: a retrospective cohort of patients with sASH (n=110) and a prospective cohort of patients with AH (two subgroups with n=121 and 104). sASH and AH were compared by doing clinical, analytical, immunohistochemistry and hepatic RNA microarray analysis. FINDINGS: Age and mean alcohol intake were similar in patients with sASH vs AH. AH showed lower mean arterial pressure than sASH. AH patients had greater aspartate amino transferase/alanine amino transferase ratio and lower gamma- glutamyl transferase levels than AH. Individuals with AH demonstrated profound liver failure, lower blood pressure and increased mortality. Histologically, the grade of steatosis, ballooning and pericellular fibrosis were similar in both groups, while advanced fibrosis, Mallory-Denk bodies, bilirubinostasis, severe neutrophil infiltration and progenitor cell expansion were more frequent among AH patients. One-year mortality was 10% in sASH and 50% in AH. Transcriptome analysis revealed a profound gene dysregulation within both phenotypes when compare to controls. Globally, AH patients exhibited changes in 4,921 genes, while the number of dysregulated genes in sASH patients was less pronounced -1,327-. While sASH was characterized by deregulated expression of genes involved in matrisome and immune response, the development of AH resulted in a marked deregulation of genes involved in hepatocyte reprogramming and bile acid metabolism. INTERPRETATION: Despite comparable daily alcohol intake, AH patients presented with worse liver function and hemodynamic status compared to sASH. Bilirubinostasis, severe fibrosis and progenitor cell expansion were prominent features of AH. AH patients exhibited a more profound deregulation of gene expression compared to sASH.
