Project description:Triglyceride accumulation in nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) results from unbalanced lipid metabolism which, in the liver, is controlled by several transcription factors. The Foxa subfamily of winged helix/forkhead box (Fox) transcription factors comprises three members which play important roles in controlling both metabolism and homeostasis through the regulation of multiple target genes in the liver, pancreas and adipose tissue. In the mouse liver, Foxa2 is repressed by insulin and mediates fasting responses. Unlike Foxa2, however, the role of Foxa1 in the liver has not yet been investigated in detail. In this study, we evaluate the role of Foxa1 in two human liver cell models, primary cultured hepatocytes and HepG2 cells, by adenoviral infection. Moreover, human and rat livers were analyzed to determine Foxa1 regulation in NAFL. Results demonstrate that Foxa1 is a potent inhibitor of hepatic triglyceride synthesis, accumulation and secretion by repressing the expression of multiple target genes of these pathways (e.g., GPAM, DGAT2, MTP, APOB). Moreover, Foxa1 represses the fatty acid transporter FATP2 and lowers fatty acid uptake. Foxa1 also increases the breakdown of fatty acids by inducing HMGCS2 and ketone body synthesis. Finally, Foxa1 is able to largely up-regulate UCP1, thereby dissipating energy and consistently decreasing the mitochondria membrane potential. We also report that human and rat NAFL have a reduced Foxa1 expression, possibly through a protein kinase C-dependent pathway. We conclude that Foxa1 is an antisteatotic factor that coordinately tunes several lipid metabolism pathways to block triglyceride accumulation in hepatocytes. However, Foxa1 is down-regulated in human and rat NAFL and, therefore, increasing Foxa1 levels could protect from steatosis. Altogether, we suggest that Foxa1 could be a novel therapeutic target for NAFL disease and insulin resistance. To determine the global impact of Foxa1 on human liver gene transcription, microarray expression analyses were performed in HepG2 cells transfected with Ad-Foxa1 or Ad-Control. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in HepG2 cells infected with Ad-Foxa1 or control adenovirus (insertless Ad-pACC).

Project description:Sesamin, a special compound present in sesame and sesame oil, has been reported the role in regulating blood lipids and improving liver function, while the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore its potential mechanisms in regulating lipid metabolism. HepG2 cells were treated with oleic acid to establish an in vitro high-fat cell model to simulate impaired hepatocytes under lipid metabolism disorders.Differentially expressed genes during the sesame intervention were screened by RNA sequencing (RNA seq) and validated using real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot.The data showed that sesamin significantly upregulated the mRNA levels of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism processes such as ETFB, ACAT2, FADS2, FABP1, ACOT1, and those involved in cholesterol metabolism processes such as FDPS, PCSK9, and DHCR7, and downregulated the mRNA levels of CYP24A1 and GGT5 involved in fatty acid metabolism, as well as MVK involved in cholesterol synthesis. Sesamin significantly down-regulated the protein levels of NOTCH1, CD36, SOX4, and FABP1. In summary, sesamin alleviates lipid accumulation in HepG2 by regulating lipid metabolism, with potential mechanisms involving steroid biosynthesis, unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, fat digestion and absorption, fatty acid metabolism, Notch signaling pathway, and PPAR signaling pathway.

Project description:Both adipocytes and hepatocytes have the capacity to store fat, but the factor(s) that determine fat distribution between these cell types remain unknown. In mice fed a high-fat diet, fat initially accumulates predominantly in adipocytes, while hepatic fat accumulation mainly emerges after the onset of epididymal adipocyte death that results in elevated free fatty acids to promote lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. However, it remains unclear whether other signals following adipocyte death are required to direct and/or promote hepatocytes to store fat and subsequently trigger metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). Using genetically modified mouse models combined with bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, we demonstrated that adipocyte death induces an accumulation of S100A8+ macrophages in the liver, which is partially induced by fatty acids. Macrophage-specific deletion of the S100a8 gene reduced hepatic fat accumulation and MASLD severity in mice. Mechanistically, S100A8+ macrophages suppress cellular communication network factor (CCN3), a negative regulator of CD36, thereby enhancing CD36 expression in hepatocytes. In conclusion, adipocyte death promotes hepatic infiltration of S100A8+ macrophages, which drive hepatocyte lipid storage and subsequently promote MASLD progression through CD36 upregulation, partially mediated by CCN3 suppression.
