Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which is a leading cause of chronic liver diseases lacks effective treatment. Tamoxifen has been proved to be the first-line chemotherapy for several solid tumors in clinics, however its therapeutic role in NAFLD has never been elucidated before. In vitro experiments, tamoxifen protected hepatocytes against sodium palmitate-induced lipotoxicity. In male and female mice fed with normal diets, continuous tamoxifen administration inhibited lipid accumulation in liver and in blood, and improved glucose and insulin intolerance. Short-term tamoxifen administration largely improved hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance, however the phenotypes manifesting inflammation and fibrosis remained unchanged in abovementioned models. In addition, mRNA expressions of genes related to lipogenesis, inflammation and fibrosis were downregulated by tamoxifen treatment. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of tamoxifen on NAFLD was not gender or ER dependent, as male and female mice with metabolic disorders shared no difference in response to tamoxifen and ER antagonist (fulvestrant) didn’t abolish its therapeutic effect as well. Mechanistically, RNA-sequence of hepatocytes isolated from fatty liver revealed that JNK/MAPK signaling pathway was inactivated by tamoxifen. Pharmacological JNK activator (anisomycin) partially deprived the therapeutic role of tamoxifen in treating hepatic steatosis, proving tamoxifen improved NAFLD in a JNK/MAPK signaling dependent manner.

Project description:We demonstrate that the ketogenic diet a low carbohydrate diet can induce fibrosis and NASH regardless of body weight loss compared to high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice. KD-fed mice develop severe hepatic injury, inflammation, and steatosis. In addition, KD increases IL-6-JNK signaling and aggravates diet induced-glucose intolerance and hepatic insulin resistance compared to HFD. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of IL-6 and JNK reverses KD‐induced glucose intolerance and restores insulin sensitivity.

Project description:The impairment of the intestinal barrier will lead to the accumulation of fat and harmful substances in the liver, inducing hepatic steatosis or steatohepatitis. Zhang et al. identified NSD2 in the intestine as a novel and essential regulator of hepatic steatosis. NSD2 directly regulates transcriptional activation of ERN1 through the modification of H3 dimethylated on lysine 36 (H3K4me36), thereby activating the ERN1-JNK axis to induce inflammatory response, intestinal barrier impairment, and hepatic steatosis. This functional mechanism of NSD2 provides a potential therapeutic target for this disease.

Project description:Tamoxifen, an antagonist to estrogen receptor (ER), is a first line drug used in breast cancer treatment. However, this therapy is complicated by the fact that a substantial number of patients exhibit either de novo or acquired resistance. To characterize the signaling mechanisms underlying the resistance to tamoxifen, we established a tamoxifen-resistant cell line by treating the MCF7 breast cancer cell line with tamoxifen for over 6 months. We showed that this cell line exhibited resistance to tamoxifen both in vitro and in vivo. In order to quantify the phosphorylation alterations associated with tamoxifen resistance, we performed SILAC-based quantitative phosphoproteomic profiling on the resistant and vehicle-treated sensitive cell lines where we identified >5,600 unique phosphopeptides. We found phosphorylation levels of 1,529 peptides were increased (>2 fold) and 409 peptides were decreased (<0.5-fold) in tamoxifen resistant cells compared to tamoxifen sensitive cells. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that focal adhesion pathway was the top enriched signaling pathway activated in tamoxifen resistant cells. We observed hyperphosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinases FAK1 and FAK2 in the tamoxifen resistant cells. Of note, FAK2 was not only hyperphosphorylated but also transcriptionally upregulated in tamoxifen resistant cells. Suppression of FAK2 by specific siRNA knockdown could sensitize the resistant cells to the treatment of tamoxifen. We further showed that inhibiting FAK activity using the small molecule inhibitor PF562271 repressed cellular proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. More importantly, our survival analysis revealed that high expression of FAK2 significantly associated with short metastasis-free survival of ER-positive breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen-based hormone therapy. Our studies suggest that FAK2 is a great potential target for the development of therapy for the treatment of hormone refractory breast cancers.

Project description:The primary objective is, first, the comparison of tamoxifen and anastrozole and, second, the comparison of zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy with controls according to disease-free survival (DFS) in premenopausal patients with non-metastatic breast cancer treated with tamoxifen or anastrozole. To assess whether zoledronate added to standard adjuvant therapy can decrease or even prevent bone loss in patients treated with hormonal blockade combined with an antiestrogen or aromatase inhibitor.

Project description:Alcohol’s impairment of both hepatic lipid metabolism and insulin resistance (IR) are key drivers of alcoholic steatosis, the initial stage of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Pharmacologic reduction of lipotoxic ceramide prevents alcoholic steatosis and glucose intolerance in mice, but potential off-target effects limit its strategic utility. Here, we employed a hepatic-specific acid-ceramidase (ASAH) overexpression model to reduce hepatic ceramides in a Lieber-DeCarli model of experimental alcoholic steatosis. We examined effects of alcohol on hepatic lipid metabolism, body composition, energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity as measured by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Our results demonstrate that hepatic ceramide reduction ameliorates the effects of alcohol on hepatic lipid droplet accumulation by promoting VLDL secretion and lipophagy, the latter of which involves ceramide cross-talk between the lysosomal and lipid droplet compartments. We additionally demonstrate that hepatic ceramide reduction prevents alcohol’s inhibition of hepatic insulin signaling. These effects on the liver are associated with a reduction in oxidative stress markers and are relevant to humans, as we observe peri-lipid droplet ASAH expression in human ALD. Together, our results suggest a potential role for hepatic ceramide inhibition in preventing ALD.
