Improvement of MASLD and MASH by suppression of hepatic N-Acetyltransferase 10 (acRIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are characterized by excessive triglyceride accumulation in the liver. However, due to an incomplete understanding of its pathogenesis, more efforts are still needed to identify specific and effective treatments. N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is a newly discovered RNA modification to regulate mRNA stability post-transcriptionally. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), the sole enzyme catalyzing mRNA acetylation, has not been fully explored in human diseases, especially in MASLD and MASH. In the current study, abundant RNA acetylation was found in lipid metabolism-related genes in the livers of leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice. Besides, hepatic NAT10 expression is significantly increased in multiple mouse models of MASLD and MASH. NAT10 expression is also elevated in patients with MASLD and positively correlated with clinical characteristics. Genetic NAT10 knockdown protects against diet-induced hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis in mice, while its overexpression exacerbates steatosis. Mechanistically, NAT10 could bind to Srebp-1c mRNA to promote its stability and expression, thereby upregulating lipogenic enzymes. In addition, the translational significance of our findings is that treatment of Remodelin, an NAT10 inhibitor, could improve liver steatosis and dyslipidemia in a preclinical mouse model. Together, these findings highlight the significance of ac4C modification and NAT10 in MASLD and MASH, offering a potential therapeutic target for disease treatment.

A Mouse Model for Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma [RNA-seq]

Project description:The lack of an appropriate preclinical model of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) that recapitulates the whole disease spectrum impedes exploration of disease pathophysiology and the development of effective treatment strategies. Considering the fact that MASLD patients accompanying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have high risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), advanced fibrosis, and HCC, we treated low-dose streptozotocin (STZ; 40 mg/kg) for 5 consecutive days and subsequently fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to male C57BL/6J mice at 7 weeks of age (STZ+HFD). STZ+HFD mice gradually developed fatty liver, MASH, hepatic fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the context of metabolic dysfunction. In particular, from 20 weeks of age, MASH was evident, and from 32 weeks of age, advanced fibrosis was developed. At 38 weeks, a proportion of STZ+HFD mice developed HCC, which was subsequently observed in all mice up to 68 weeks of age. Furthermore, the hepatic transcriptomic features of STZ+HFD mice closely reflected those of obese patients with T2DM, MASH and MASLD-related HCC. Notably, dietary changes and tirzepatide administration alleviated MASH, hepatic fibrosis, and hepatic tumorigenesis in STZ+HFD mice. In conclusion, a murine model recapitulating the main histopathologic, transcriptomic, and metabolic alterations observed in MASLD patients with metabolic dysfunction was successfully established.

Multi-Modal Comparison of human Hepatic Stellate Cells identifies novel therapeutic targets for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Project description:Background and aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) progresses from steatosis (Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver, MASL) to Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis. Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) into fibrogenic myofibroblasts plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of MASH liver fibrosis. Here we compared gene expression and chromatin accessibility profiles of human HSCs in NORMAL, MASL, and MASH livers at single cell resolution. Methods: 18 human livers were profiled using single-nucleus (sn) RNA-seq and snATAC-seq. High priority targets were identified and then tested in 2D human HSCs, 3D human liver spheroids, and HSC-specific gene knockout mice. Results: This study identified novel gene regulatory mechanisms underlying MASL- and MASH-associated HSC heterogeneity and outlined potential strategies for anti-fibrotic therapy. Specifically, MASH-enriched HSC-subcluster hA1, represented by highly fibrogenic population of myofibroblasts, served as a critical source of extracellular matrix protein (ECM) in MASH, and its activation was regulated via a cross-talk between lineage-specific (JUNB/AP1), cluster-specific (RUNX1/2) and signal-specific (FOXA1/2) transcription factors (TFs). Additionally, we identified a set of core genes (GAS7, SPON1, SERPINE1, LTBP2, KLF9, EFEMP1) that drive ECM production in hA1 HSCs. The pathological relevance of the selected hA1 targets, such as SERPINE1 and others, was demonstrated using siRNA-based HSC-specific gene knockdown or pharmacological inhibitor of SERPINE1 in 3D human MASH liver spheroids, and HSC-specific Serpine1 knockout mice with MASH. Conclusion: We identified potential targets for anti-fibrotic therapy of MASH in patients.

Transcriptomic profiling in NAT10 knockdown acute myeloid leukemia cells

Project description:RNA modification represents an important post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), however the function and mechanism of RNA acetylation ac4C in AML remains elusive. Here, we report that NAT10, as the ac4C writing enzyme, plays a critical oncogenic function in AML and represents a promising therapeutic target for AML. To determine the impact of NAT10-mediated ac4C on gene expression, we conducted high throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) in NAT10-knockdown and control MOLM13 cells.

Serum Protein Risk Stratification Score for Diagnostic Evaluation of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH)

Project description:Reliable non-invasive tools to diagnose at risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are urgently needed to improve management. We developed a risk stratification score incorporating proteomics-derived serum markers with clinical variables to identify high risk MASH patients (NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) >4 and fibrosis score >2). In this three-phase proteomic study of biopsy-proven metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic fatty liver disease (MASLD), we first developed a multi-protein predictor for discriminating NAS>4 based on SOMAscan proteomics quantifying 1,305 serum proteins from 57 US patients. Four key predictor proteins were verified by ELISA in the expanded US cohort (N=168), and enhanced by adding clinical variables to create the 9-feature MASH Dx Score which predicted MASH and also high risk MASH (F2+). The MASH Dx Score was validated in two independent, external cohorts from Germany (N=139) and Brazil (N=177). The discovery phase identified a 6-protein classifier that achieved an AUC of 0.93 for identifying MASH. Significant elevation of four proteins (THBS2, GDF15, SELE, IGFBP7) was verified by ELISA in the expanded discovery and independently in the two external cohorts. MASH Dx Score incorporated these proteins with established MASH risk factors (age, BMI, ALT, diabetes, hypertension) to achieve good discrimination between MASH and MASLD without MASH (AUC:0.87- discovery; 0.83- pooled external validation cohorts), with similar performance when evaluating high risk MASH F2-4 (vs. MASH F0-1 and MASLD without MASH). The MASH Dx Score offers the first reliable non-invasive approach combining novel, biologically plausible ELISA-based fibrosis markers and clinical parameters to detect high risk MASH in patient cohorts from the US, Brasil and Europe.

Liver tissue proteins improve the accuracy of plasma proteins as biomarkers in diagnosing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis

Project description:Background: Biomarkers for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) have been considered based on proteomic and lipidomic data from plasma and liver tissue without clinical benefits. This study evaluated proteomics-based plasma and liver tissue biomarkers collected simultaneously from patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Methods: Liver tissue samples and plasma samples were collected during liver biopsy for diagnosis. Untargeted proteomics was performed on 64 patients with MASLD. Results: Twenty plasma proteins were up or downregulated in patients with MASH compared with those without MASH. The biomarkers utilizing the best combinations of these plasma proteins had an area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 0.671 for detecting those with MASH compared with those without it. However, none of the 20 plasma proteins were represented among the significantly regulated liver tissue proteins in patients with MASH. Ten of them displayed a trend and relevance in liver tissue with MASLD progression. These ten plasma proteins had an AUROC of 0.793 for MASH identification and higher positive and negative predictive values. Conclusion: The plasma and liver protein expressions of patients with MASH were not directly comparable. Plasma protein biomarkers that are also expressed in liver tissue can help improve MASH detection.

ACMSD inhibition corrects fibrosis, inflammation, and DNA damage in MASLD/MASH

Project description:Recent findings reveal the importance of tryptophan-initiated de novo nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) synthesis in the liver, a process previously considered secondary to biosynthesis from nicotinamide. Here we show that inhibiting α-amino-β-carboxymuconate-ε-semialdehyde decarboxylase (ACMSD) promotes de novo NAD+ synthesis and reduces DNA damage ex vivo, in vivo and in human liver organoid (HLO) models. In mouse models of MASLD/MASH, de novo NAD+ biosynthesis is suppressed, and transcriptomic DNA damage signatures correlate with disease severity; In humans, Mendelian randomization-based genetic analysis suggests a notable impact of genomic stress on liver disease susceptibility. Therapeutic inhibiting ACMSD in mice elevates liver NAD+ and reverses MASLD/MASH, mitigating fibrosis, inflammation and DNA damage. Similar outcomes are recapitulated in HLO models of steatohepatitis and DNA damage. Our findings highlight the benefits of ACMSD inhibition for boosting hepatic NAD+ and genomic protection, indicating its therapeutic promise in liver diseases marked by NAD+ and genomic stress.
