Sex specific role of KDM5B demethylase in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease development and resolution

ABSTRACT: Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of alcohol related mortality. Recently we identified hepatic demethylases KDM5B and KDM5C as important sex-specific epigenetic regulators of alcohol response in the liver. In this study we aimed to study the molecular mechanisms of KDM5-dependent ALD development and resolution. We found that alcohol induces pathological changes in cell-cell communication in the liver that are in part mediated by epigenetic changes in hepatocytes mediated by histone demethylase KDM5B. Using cell type specific knockout mice, we found that KDM5B histone demethylase was a key regulator of alcohol-induced epigenetic changes in hepatocytes. Moreover, it regulated hepatocytes-non-parenchymal cell crosstalk that promoted inflammation and fibrosis development in ALD. This mechanism was specific to females. In males KDM5B deficiency was not sufficient to prevent fibrosis development. In contrast KDM5B demethylase loss promoted fibrosis resolution in both males and females. This mechanism involved changes in hepatocyte-macrophage crosstalk and LXRα activation, which we identified to be critical for the fibrosis resolution process. CONCLUSION: In summary, KDM5B demethylase is a regulator of cell-cell crosstalk involved in disease progression in females and in disease resolution in both sexes.

The role of Cebpb in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease development and resolution

Project description:Abstinence is an important therapeutic intervention for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). However, fibrosis improvement after cessation is not uniform and some patients do not improve. We aimed to use scATAC-seq analysis in a mouse model of ALD to define the mechanism of poor ALD resolution. We analyzed differentially accessible regions in livers from control, ALD, or 4 weeks post alcohol cessation mice and identified transcription factors activated in ALD that remained activated after alcohol withdrawal. The top hit was C/EBPβ. We found that hepatocyte specific Cebpb knockout prevented ALD development, while knockout at the time of alcohol cessation promoted fibrosis resolution.

Sex specific role of KDM5 demethylases in Alcohol-associated Liver Disease

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of alcohol related mortality. The specific mechanisms responsible for ALD development and progression are not fully understood, and there is limited therapy for any stage of ALD. Sex differences are often disregarded in in genetic and mechanistic studies. We aimed to take an unbiased approach to define sex specific pathways in livers exposed to alcohol. METHODS: Mice were fed LieberDeCarli alcohol liquid diet for 3 weeks. To identify the role of Kdm5b and Kdm5c we injected mice with AAV-shControl at 2x10^11 gc per mouse or AAV-shKdm5b and AAV-Kdm5c vectors at 10^11 gc per mouse. To assess the role of AhR we injected mice with AAV-shControl or AAV-shAhR vectors at 10^11 gc per mouse. RESULTS: We found several pathways affected by alcohol in sex specific way and identified KDM5 demethylases as contributors to that specificity.

Human PXR signaling enhances ethanol-induced liver injury in females

Project description:Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) results from excessive alcohol consumption and is more severe in females. The prenane X receptor (PXR), a xenobiotic nuclear receptor essential for toxin defense, has been implicated in ALD, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Due to species differences in ligand specificty, humanized PXR (hPXR) mouse models are necessary to investigate its role in the sexual dimorphism of ALD in humans. Ethanol exposure caused the most severe hepatoxicity in female hPXR mice with microarray analysis identifying 442 genes uniquely regulated by ethanol in female hPXR mice, implicated with ethanol-induced liver damage.

Primary alcohol-activated human and mouse Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) share similarities in gene expression profiles

Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of cirrhosis in the United States, which is characterized by extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) and formation of a fibrous scar. Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) are the major source of Collagen Type I producing myofibroblasts in ALD fibrosis. However, the mechanism of alcohol-induced activation of human and mouse HSCs is not fully understood. We compared the gene expression profiles of primary cultured human HSCs (hHSCs) isolated from patients with ALD (n=3) or without underlying liver disease (n=4) using RNA-Seq analysis. Furthermore, the gene expression profile of ALD hHSCs was compared to that of alcohol-activated mHSCs (isolated from intragastric (IG) alcohol-fed mice), or carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4)-activated mouse HSCs (mHSCs). Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that ALD hHSCs, and alcohol- and CCl4-activated mHSCs share the expression of common HSC activation (Col1a1, Acta1, PAI-1, TIMP1, LOXL2), indicating that a common mechanism underlies activation of human and mouse HSCs. Furthermore, alcohol-activated mHSCs most closely recapitulate the gene expression profile of ALD hHSCs. We identified the genes that are similarly and uniquely upregulated in primary cultured alcohol-activated hHSCs and freshly isolated mHSCs, which include CSF1R, PLEK, LAPTM5, CD74, CD53, MMP9, CD14, CTSS, TYROBP, ITGB2, and other genes (compared to CCl4-activated mHSCs). We identified genes in alcohol-activated mHSCs from IG alcohol-fed mice that are largely consistent with the gene expression profile of primary cultured hHSCs from ALD patients. These genes are unique to alcohol-induced HSC activation in two species, and therefore, may become new targets or readout for anti-fibrotic therapy in experimental models of ALD.

Enhanced Ca2+-channeling complex formation at the ER-mitochondria interface underlies the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease

Project description:Ca2+ overload-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is considered as a major contributing factor in the pathogenesis of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). However, the initiating factors that drive mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation in ALD remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that an aberrant increase in mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs) mediates Ca2+ accumulation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in ALD via the formation of glucose-regulated protein 75 (GRP75)-mediated MAM Ca2+-channeling (MCC) complex. Unbiased transcriptomic analysis reveals pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) as a prominently inducible MAM kinase in ALD. Additional mass spectrometry analysis unveils the critical role of PDK4 in promoting alcohol-induced MCC complex formation and mitochondrial dysfunction by phosphorylating GRP75. Non-phosphorylatable GRP75 mutation or genetic ablation of PDK4 prevents alcohol-induced mitochondrial Ca2+ accumulation and dysfunction. Conversely, ectopic induction of MAM formation in PDK4-deficient mice abrogate the protective effect in alcohol-induced liver injury. Together, our study defines the mediatory role of PDK4 in promoting mitochondrial dysfunction in ALD.

Effect of depletion of S100A16 on gene expression during lipid accumulation of primary hepatocytes

Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) encompasses conditions ranging from simple steatosis to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. It has gained significant global attention in recent years. Despite this, effective pharmacological treatments for ALD remain elusive, and the core mechanisms underlying the disease are not yet fully comprehended. S100A16, a newly identified calcium-binding protein, is linked to lipid metabolism. Our research has discovered elevated levels of the S100A16 protein in both serum and liver tissue of ALD patients. A similar surge in hepatic S100A16 expression was noted in a Gao-binge alcohol feeding mouse model. S100a16 knockdown alleviated ethanol-induced liver injury, steatosis and inflammation. Conversely, S100a16 transgenic mice showed aggravating phenomenon. Mechanistically, we identify mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) as a regulated entity downstream of S100a16 deletion. MANF inhibited ER-stress signal transduction induced by alcohol stimulation. Meanwhile, MANF silencing suppressed the inhibition effect of S100a16 knockout on ethanol-induced lipid droplets accumulation in primary hepatocytes. Our data suggested that S100a16 deletion protects mice against alcoholic liver lipid accumulation and inflammation dependent on upregulating MANF and inhibiting ER stress. This offers a potential therapeutic avenue for ALD treatment.

Kupffer cell diversity maintaines liver function in alcohol associated liver disease [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Background & Aims: Liver macrophages are heterogeneous and play an important role in alcohol_x0002_associated liver disease (ALD) but there is limited understanding of the functions of specific macrophage subsets in the disease. We used a Western Diet Alcohol (WDA) mouse model of ALD to examine the hepatic myeloid cell compartment by scRNA seq and targeted Kupffer cell (KC) ablation to understand the diversity and function of liver macrophages in ALD. Approach and Results: In the WDA liver, KCs and infiltrating monocytes/macrophages (IMs) each represented about 50% of the myeloid pool. Five major KC clusters all expressed genes associated with receptor mediated endocytosis and lipid metabolism, but most were predicted to be non_x0002_inflammatory and antifibrotic with one minor KC cluster having a pro-inflammatory and extracellular matrix degradation gene signature. IM clusters, in contrast, were predicted to be pro_x0002_inflammatory and pro-fibrotic. In vivo diphtheria toxin based selective KC ablation during alcohol exposure resulted in a liver failure phenotype with increases in PT/INR and bilirubin, loss of differentiated hepatocyte gene expression, and an increase in expression of hepatocyte progenitor markers such as EpCAM, CK-7 and Igf2bp3. Gene set enrichment analysis of whole liver RNAseq from the KC ablated WDA mice showed a similar pattern as seen in human alcoholic hepatitis. Conclusions: In this ALD model, KCs are anti-inflammatory and are critical for maintenance of hepatocyte differentiation. IMs are largely pro-inflammatory and contribute more to liver fibrosis. Future targeting of specific macrophage subsets may provide new approaches to treatment of liver failure and fibrosis in ALD.

Blockade of lL17 signaling reverses alcohol-induced liver injury, and excessive alcohol drinking in mice.

Project description:Chronic alcohol abuse has a detrimental effect on the brain and liver. There is no effective treatment for these patients and the mechanism underlying alcohol addiction and consequent alcohol-induced damage of the liver/brain axis remains unresolved. We compared experimental models of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and alcohol dependence in mice and demonstrated that genetic ablation of IL17 Receptor A (IL17ra-/-), or pharmacological blockade of IL17 signaling effectively suppressed the increased voluntary alcohol drinking in alcohol-dependent mice, and blocked alcohol-induced hepatocellular and neurological damage. The level of circulating IL17A positively correlated with the alcohol use in excessive drinkers, and was further increased in patients with ALD as compared to healthy individuals. Our data suggest that IL17A is a common mediator of excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol-induced liver/brain injury, and targeting IL17A may provide a novel strategy for treatment of alcohol-induced pathology.

Expression data of the livers in mouse with iso-α-acids intake

Project description:Scope: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease and is induced by alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism enhances the fibrosis of the liver through hepatic stellate cells. Additionally, alcohol administration causes the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce hepatocyte-injury-mediated lipid peroxidation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of iso-α-acids against alcoholic liver injury in hepatocytes in mice. Methods and results: C57BL/6N mice were fed diets containing isomerized hop extract, which mainly consists of iso-α-acids. After 7 days of feeding, acetaldehyde was administered by a single intraperitoneal injection. The acetaldehyde-induced increases in serum AST and ALT levels were suppressed by iso-α-acids intake. Hepatic gene expression analyses showed the upregulation of the glutathione-S-transferase, alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase genes. In vitro, iso-α-acids induced the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (Nfe2l2; Nrf2), a master regulator of antioxidant and detoxifying systems, and upregulated the enzymatic activities of glutathione-S-transferase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Conclusions: These results suggest that iso-α-acids intake prevents alcoholic liver disease injury by reducing oxidative stress via the Nrf2-mediated pathway.
