Project description:Liver fibrosis is a strong predictor of long-term mortality in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; yet the mechanisms underlying the progression from the comparatively benign fatty liver state to advanced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis are incompletely under-stood. Using a cell type-resolved genomics approach, we show that comprehensive alterations in hepatocyte genomic and transcriptional settings during NASH progression, led to a partial loss of hepatocyte identity. The hepatocyte reprogramming was under tight cooperative control of a net-work of NASH-activated transcription factors (TFs), as exemplified by Elf3 and Glis2. Indeed, Elf3 and Glis2 controlled hepatocyte identity and fibrosis-dependent hepatokine genes targeting disease-associated hepatic stellate cell (HSC) gene programs. Thus, interconnected TF networks not only promoted hepatocyte dysfunction, but also directed the intra-hepatic crosstalk with HSCs necessary for NASH and fibrosis progression implying molecular “hub-centered” targeting strategies to be superior to existing mono-target approaches as currently used in NASH therapy.

Project description:Hepatic glucose production (HGP) maintains blood glucose levels during fasting but can also exacerbate diabetic hyperglycemia. HGP is dynamically controlled by a signaling/transcriptional network that regulates the expression/activity of gluconeogenic enzymes. A key mediator of gluconeogenic gene transcription is PGC-1?. PGC-1?'s activation of gluconeogenic gene expression is dependent upon its acetylation state, which is controlled by the acetyltransferase GCN5 and the deacetylase Sirt1. Nevertheless, whether other chromatin modifiers-particularly other sirtuins-can modulate PGC-1? acetylation is currently unknown. Herein, we report that Sirt6 strongly controls PGC-1? acetylation. Surprisingly, Sirt6 induces PGC-1? acetylation and suppresses HGP. Sirt6 depletion decreases PGC-1? acetylation and promotes HGP. These acetylation effects are GCN5 dependent: Sirt6 interacts with and modifies GCN5, enhancing GCN5's activity. Lepr(db/db) mice, an obese/diabetic animal model, exhibit reduced Sirt6 levels; ectopic re-expression suppresses gluconeogenic genes and normalizes glycemia. Activation of hepatic Sirt6 may therefore be therapeutically useful for treating insulin-resistant diabetes.

Project description:Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing response to chronic liver injury, which may result in cirrhosis and liver failure. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK1) gene has been shown to be involved in liver fibrosis. Here, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism and identify the cell-type involved in mediating the JNK1-dependent effect on liver fibrogenesis Wild-type (WT), JNK1−/− and JNK1Δhepa (hepatocyte-specific deletion of JNK1) mice were subjected to bile duct ligation (BDL). Additionally, we performed bone marrow transplantations (BMT), isolated primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and studied their activation in vitro. Serum markers of liver damage (liver transaminases, alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin) and liver histology revealed reduced injury in JNK1−/− compared to WT and JNK1Δhepa mice. Hepatocyte cell death and proliferation was reduced in JNK1−/− compared to WT and JNK1Δhepa. Parameters of liver fibrosis such as Sirius Red staining as well as Collagen IA1 and αSMA expression were down-regulated in JNK1−/− compared to WT and JNK1Δhepa livers, 4 weeks after BDL. To delineate the essential cell-type, we performed BMT of WT and JNK1-/- into JNK1-/- and WT mice, respectively. BMT experiments excluded bone marrow derived cells from having a major impact on the JNK1-dependent effect on fibrogenesis. Hence, we investigated primary HSCs from JNK1−/− livers showing reduced transdifferentiation compared with WT and JNK1Δhepa-derived HSCs. We conclude that JNK1 in HSCs plays a crucial role in hepatic fibrogenesis and thus represents a promising target for cell-directed treatment options for liver fibrosis. Control (JNK1f/f), JNK1 null (JNK1-/-) and hepatocyte-specific JNK1 null (JNK1Δhepa) mice were subjected to control, acute and chronic injury, i.e. sham or bile-duct ligation for 48h or 28 days resp., whereafter gene expression profiles were determined.

Project description:We performed RNA sequencing analysis of hepatic gene expression a few hours after amlexanox treatment, and identified over 1700 differentially expressed genes. Pathway analysis of these differentially regulated genes revealed that the top two most enriched pathways were the adipocytokine signaling pathway and the Jak-STAT signaling pathway. RNA-seq analysis of hepatic gene expression was used to identify differentially expressed genes in response to Amlexanox treatment.

Project description:Excessive glucose production in the liver is a key factor in the hyperglycemia observed in diabetes mellitus type 2. It is generally agreed to result from an increase in hepatic gluconeogenesis. Considerable attention has been devoted to the transcriptional regulation of key gluconeogenic enzymes, but much less is known about the regulation of amino-acid catabolism, which generates gluconeogenic substrates. Here, we highlight a novel role of LKB1 in this regulation. We show that mice with a hepatocyte-specific deletion of Lkb1 have higher levels of hepatic amino acid catabolism, driving gluconeogenesis. This effect was observed during both fasting and the postprandial period, identifying Lkb1 as a critical suppressor of postprandial hepatic gluconeogenesis. Hepatic Lkb1 deletion was associated with major changes in whole-body metabolism, leading to a lower lean body mass and, in the longer term, sarcopenia and cachexia, as a consequence of the diversion of amino acids to liver metabolism at the expense of muscle. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we identified the aminotransferases and specifically, Agxt as effectors of the suppressor function of Lkb1 in amino acid-driven gluconeogenesis. The present dataset is from the phosphoproteomic analysis of the refed mice in a study where a global quantitative analysis ( PXD013478 ) is also described in the same publication.

Project description:Excessive hepatic glucose production is a major contributor to the hyperglycemia observed in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is widely accepted that it is due to an increase in hepatic gluconeogenesis. While much attention has been devoted to the transcriptional regulation of key gluconeogenic enzymes, much less is known about the regulation of amino acid catabolism that provides gluconeogenic substrates. Here, we emphasize a novel role of LKB1 in this regulation. We show that mice with a hepatocyte-specific deletion of Lkb1 have increased hepatic amino acid catabolism for gluconeogenesis. This occurred during fasting, as well as during the postprandial period, identifying Lkb1 as a critical suppressor of hepatic postprandial gluconeogenesis. Hepatic Lkb1 deletion was also associated with severe alterations in whole body metabolism leading to decreased lean body mass deposition on MRI analysis and, at a longer term, cachexia and sarcopenia as a consequence of the diversion of amino acids for liver metabolism at the expense of muscle. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we identified the aminotransferases and Agxt and as critical effectors of the suppressor function of Lkb1 in amino acid-driven gluconeogenesis.

Project description:Overactivated hepatic gluconeogenesis contributes to the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes. Precise control of hepatic gluconeogenesis is thus critical for maintaining whole-body metabolic homeostasis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play key roles in diseases by regulating diverse biological processes, but the function of lncRNAs in maintaining normal physiology, particularly glucose homeostasis in the liver, remains largely unexplored. We identified a novel liver-enriched long non-coding RNA, Gm10768, and examined its expression patterns under pathophysiological conditions. We further adopted gain- and loss-of-function strategies to explore the effect of Gm10768 on hepatic glucose metabolism and the possible molecular mechanism involved. Our results showed that the expression of Gm10768 was significantly increased in the liver of fasted mice and was induced by gluconeogenic hormonal stimuli. Functionally, overexpression of Gm10768 activated hepatic gluconeogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner. In contrast, depletion of Gm10768 suppressed hepatic glucose production both in vitro and in vivo Adenovirus-mediated hepatic knockdown of Gm10768 improved glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia of diabetic db/db mice. Mechanistically, Gm10768 sequestrated microRNA-214 (miR-214) to relieve its suppression on activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a positive regulator of hepatic gluconeogenesis. Taken together, we identified Gm10768 as a new lncRNA activating hepatic gluconeogenesis through antagonizing miR-214 in mice.
