Project description:Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) represents a spectrum of disease states ranging from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Hepatic macrophages, specifically Kupffer cells (KCs), are suggested to play important roles in the pathogenesis of MAFLD through their activation, although the exact roles played by these cells remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that KCs were reduced in MAFLD being replaced by macrophages originating from the bone marrow. Recruited macrophages existed in two subsets with distinct activation states, either closely resembling homeostatic KCs or lipid-associated macrophages (LAMs) from obese adipose tissue. Hepatic LAMs expressed Osteopontin, a biomarker for patients with NASH, linked with the development of fibrosis. Fitting with this, LAMs were found in regions of the liver with reduced numbers of KCs, characterized by increased Desmin expression. Together, our data highlight considerable heterogeneity within the macrophage pool and suggest a need for more specific macrophage targeting strategies in MAFLD.

Project description:CITE-seq analysis on total CD45+ cells isolated from the livers of mice fed a standard diet (SD) or western diet (WD; fat, cholesterol and sugar) for 12, 24 and 36 weeks. We also performed single cell RNA sequencing analysis of the CD45- cells isolated from the livers of the mice fed the SD or WD for 24 and 36 weeks.

Project description:Cancer is a systemic disease that includes several noted features, such as pre-metastatic niche formation, cachexia, and immune dysregulation. However, the mechanisms underlying multi-organ failure remain to be further investigated. Here, we show that inflammation, fatty liver, and dysregulated metabolism are hallmarks of systemically affected livers in various animal tumor models and cancer patients in the absence of hepatic metastasis. We identify that tumor-derived extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) are crucial mediators of cancer-induced hepatic functional reprogramming. Tumor EVPs package multiple fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, and target Kupffer cells upregulating TNFα via Toll-like receptor 4, which in turn promotes a pro-inflammatory microenvironment leading to fatty liver disease and downregulates metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. Strikingly, ablation of Kupffer cells or TNFα blockade markedly abrogates the tumor-induced excess hepatic lipid droplet accumulation. We show that tumor implantation or pre-treatment with tumor EVPs decreases the expression of Cytochrome P450 genes and attenuates drug metabolism in mice. Notably, increased fatty livers and decreased Cytochrome P450 genes are observed in tumor-free livers in cancer patients. Thus, tumor-derived EVP uptake in the liver may lead to reduced tolerance of drug toxicity in cancer patients. Our results highlight the role of tumor EVPs in dysregulating hepatic functions and its potential to serve as therapeutic targets along with Kupffer cell-induced TNFα inhibition to prevent fatty liver disease and enhance anti-cancer chemotherapy.

Project description:Kupffer cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases. However, their involvement in metabolic disorders of the liver, including fatty liver disease, remains unclear. The present study sought to determine the impact of Kupffer cells on hepatic triglyceride storage and to explore the possible mechanisms involved. To that end, C57Bl/6 mice rendered obese and steatotic by chronic high-fat feeding were treated for 1 week with clodronate liposomes, which cause depletion of Kupffer cells. Loss of expression of marker genes Cd68, F4/80, and Clec4f, and loss of Cd68 immunostaining verified almost complete removal of Kupffer cells from the liver. Also, expression of complement components C1, the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 6 (Ccl6), and cytokines interleukin-15 (IL-15) and IL-1beta were markedly reduced. Importantly, Kupffer cell depletion significantly decreased liver triglyceride and glucosylceramide levels concurrent with increased expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (Cpt1alpha), and fatty acid transport protein 2 (Fatp2). Treatment of mice with IL-1beta decreased expression of PPARalpha and its target genes, which was confirmed in primary hepatocytes. Consistent with these data, IL-1beta suppressed human and mouse PPARalpha promoter activity. Suppression of PPARalpha promoter activity was recapitulated by overexpression of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) subunit p50 and p65, and was abolished upon deletion of putative NF-kappaB binding sites. Finally, IL-1beta and NF-kappaB interfered with the ability of PPARalpha to activate gene transcription. CONCLUSION: Our data point toward important cross-talk between Kupffer cells and hepatocytes in the regulation of hepatic triglyceride storage. The effect of Kupffer cells on liver triglycerides are at least partially mediated by IL-1beta, which suppresses PPARalpha expression and activity. Expression profiling of livers from mice fed control, low-fat diet diet or high-fat diet for 20weeks with or without knockdown of Kupffer cells.

Project description:Molecular profiling of infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages versus resident kupffer cells following acute liver injury The liver has a remarkable capacity to regenerate after injury; yet, the role of macrophages (MF) in this process remains controversial mainly due to difficulties in distinguishing between different MF-subsets. Here, we utilized a murine model of acute liver injury caused by overdose of acetaminophen (APAP) and defined three distinct MF subsets that populate the liver following injury. Accordingly, resident Kupffer cells (KC) were significantly reduced upon APAP-challenge and started recovering by self-renewal at resolution phase without contribution of circulating Ly6Chi monocytes. The latter were recruited in a CCR2 and M-CSF mediated pathway at the necro-inflammatory phase and differentiated into ephemeral Ly6Clo MF subset at resolution phase. Moreover, their inducible ablation resulted in impaired recovery. Microarray based molecular profiling uncovered high similarity between steady state KC and those recovered at the resolution phase. In contrast, KC and monocyte-derived MF displayed distinct pro-restorative genetic signature at the resolution phase. Finally, we show that infiltrating monocytes acquire a pro-restorative polarization manifested by unique expression of pro-angiogenesis mediators and genes involved with inhibition of neutrophil activity and recruitment and promotion of their clearance. Collectively, our results present a novel phenotypic, ontogenic and molecular definition of liver-MF compartment following acute injury. 11 Samples (arrays) were performed. We generated pairwise comparison between all the different macrophages stages, using Partek Genomics Suite. Genes with p?5%[FDR] and a fold-change difference of ?2 or <-2 were selected.
