ABSTRACT: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is on the rise, and with limited pharmacological therapy available, identification of new metabolic targets is urgently needed. Oxalate is a terminal metabolite produced from glyoxylate by lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA). The liver-specific alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGXT) detoxifies glyoxylate, preventing oxalate accumulation. We report that AGXT is suppressed and LDHA is activated in livers from patients and mice with MASH, leading to oxalate overproduction. In turn, oxalate promotes steatosis in hepatocytes by inhibiting peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha (PPARa) transcription and fatty acid b-oxidation (FAO), and induces monocyte chemotaxis via C-C motif chemokine ligand 2. In male mice with diet-induced MASH, blocking oxalate overproduction through hepatocyte-specific AGXT overexpression or pharmacological inhibition of LDHA potently lower steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis by inducing PPARa-driven FAO, and suppressing monocyte chemotaxis, nuclear factor-kappa B and transforming growth factor-beta targets. These findings highlight hepatic oxalate overproduction as a new target for the treatment of MASH.

Project description:Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by excess circulating toxic lipids, hepatic steatosis, and liver inflammation. Monocyte adhesion to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) and transendothelial migration (TEM) are crucial in the inflammatory process. LSEC under lipotoxic stress develops a pro-inflammatory phenotype known as endotheliopathy. However, the mediators of endotheliopathy remain obscure. Primary mouse LSEC isolated from C57BL/6J mice on chow or MASH-inducing diets rich in fat, fructose, and cholesterol (FFC) were subjected to multi-omics profiling. Mice with established MASH, due to a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD) or FFC diet, were treated with two structurally distinct GSK3 inhibitors [LY2090314, elraglusib (9-ING-41)]. Integrated pathway analysis of mouse LSEC proteome and transcriptome indicates that leukocyte TEM and focal adhesion are major pathways altered in MASH. Kinome profiling of the LSEC phospho-proteome identified GSK3β as the major kinase hub in MASH. GSK3β activating phosphorylation was increased in primary human LSEC treated with the toxic lipid palmitate and in human MASH. Palmitate upregulated the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2, intracellular adhesion molecule 1, and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase, via a GSK3-dependant mechanism. Congruently, the adhesive and transendothelial migratory capacities of primary human neutrophils and THP-1 monocytes through LSEC monolayer under lipotoxic stress were reduced by GSK3 inhibition. Treatment with the GSK3 inhibitors LY2090314 and elraglusib ameliorated liver inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in FFC and CDHFD-fed mice, respectively. Immunophenotyping of intrahepatic leukocytes from CDHFD-fed mice treated with elraglusib using cytometry by the time of flight showed reduced proinflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells infiltration.GSK3 inhibition attenuates lipotoxicity-induced LSEC endotheliopathy and may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy in human MASH.
