Project description:Hepatic steatosis signifies onset of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) caused by disrupted metabolic homeostasis compromising liver function. Regular consumption of common beans reduces the risk of metabolic impairment, but its effective dose, the impact of biological sex, and underlying mechanisms of action are unknown. We fed female and male C57BL6/J mice with obesogenic yet isocaloric diets containing 0%, 17.5%, 35%, and 70% of total dietary protein derived from cooked whole common beans. Liver tissue was collected for histopathology, lipid quantification, and RNA-seq analyses. Beans qualitatively and quantitatively diminished hepatic fat deposition at the 35% dose in female and 70% dose in male mice. Bean-induced differentially expressed genes (DEGs) most significantly mapped to hepatic steatosis and revealed dose-responsive inhibition of de novo lipogenesis markers (Acly, Acaca, Fasn, Elovl6, Scd1, etc.) and triacylglycerol biosynthesis, activation of triacylglycerol degradation, and downregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1) signaling. Upregulated fatty acid β-oxidation was more prominent in females, while suppression of Cd36-mediated fatty acid uptake—in males. Sex-dependent bean effects also involved DEGs patterns downstream of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and MLX-interacting protein-like (MLXIPL). Therefore, biological sex determines amount of common bean in the diet required to prevent hepatic lipid accumulation.

Project description:Background & Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common complication of obesity with a hallmark feature of hepatic steatosis. Recent data from animal models of MALFD have demonstrated substantial changes in macrophage composition in the fatty liver. In humans, the relationship between liver macrophage heterogeneity and liver steatosis is less clear. Methods: Liver tissue from 21 participants was collected at time of bariatric surgery and analyzed using flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and H&E microscopy. Single-cell RNA sequencing was also conducted on a subset of samples (n=3). Intrahepatic triglyceride content was assessed via MRI and tissue histology. Mouse models of hepatic steatosis were used to investigate observations made from human liver tissue. Results: We observed variable degrees of liver steatosis with minimal fibrosis in our participants. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed four macrophage clusters that exist in the human fatty liver encompassing Kupffer cells (KC) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MdM). The genes expressed in these macrophage subsets were similar to those observed in mouse models of MAFLD. Hepatic CD14+ monocytes/macrophage number correlated with the degree of steatosis. Using mouse models of early liver steatosis we demonstrate recruitment of MdMs precedes KC loss and liver damage and that MdMs may serve a role in lipid uptake during MAFLD. Conclusions: The human liver in MAFLD contains macrophage subsets that align well with those that appear in mouse models of fatty liver disease. Recruited myeloid cells correlate well with the degree of liver steatosis in humans and this occurs prior to changes in KC number. MdMs appear to have a role in lipid uptake during early stages of MALFD.

Project description:Background Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was recently proposed to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is defined as ectopic fat deposition in the liver. Hepatic steatosis is an independent predictor for insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk and hence mortality. The aim of present study was to investigate the urine molecular pattern and potential urine biomarker to distinguish healthy control, mild and severe hepatic steatosis in MAFLD patients using proteomic data. Method Hepatic steatosis was measured by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that measure the proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). Proteomic measurements of urine samples were done by mass spectrometry. Linear regression analyses were used to detect significant associations between the biomarkers and clinical parameters. Western blot and Elisa were performed for validation. Results Multiple pathways have been compromised in MAFLD, including the carbohydrate derivative catabolic process, glycosaminoglycan process, aminoglycan metabolic process, inflammatory response, insulin-like growth factor receptor and GTPase complex. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1) and ceruloplasmin were finally identified to be potential urine biomarkers to detect mild/severe hepatic steatosis.

Project description:MAFLD is a heterogenous spectrum disorder affecting 20% of the population. Inflammatory processes contribute to various stages of MAFLD and thought to instigate hepatic fibrosis. For this reason, targeting inflammation has been heavily nominated as an approach to mitigating liver fibrosis. Lipopolysaccharide binding protein is a secreted protein that plays an established role in innate immune responses. In a murine model of MAFLD, we used a liver-specific deletion of LBP model to study its role in hepatic inflammation. Single nucleus RNA-seq were applied to investigate the role of LBP in hepatic cell composition.

Project description:Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) serves as a botanical resource extensively utilized in ethnomedicine. Prior investigations revealed that okra polysaccharide (OP) ameliorated hepatocellular lipotoxicity in vitro context. Nonetheless, the curative efficacy and the precise molecular mechanisms implicated in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) warrant further elucidation. To address this gap, two murine models of MAFLD, namely obese Ob/Ob mice and high fat/cholesterol/fructose (HFCF) fed mice, were employed. The therapeutic implications of OP supplementation were assessed through quantification of lipid specific biomarkers and hepatic histopathological examination. Complementary transcriptomic, phosphoproteomic, and in vitro analyses were conducted to decipher the molecular underpinnings. In the Ob/Ob mouse model, OP substantively mitigated both circulating and hepatic lipid concentrations, concurrently ameliorating hepatic steatosis. In the context of HFCF-induced MAFLD, OP not only attenuated hepatic lipidic sequestration but also abrogated concomitant inflammation and fibrosis. Subsequent RNA-sequencing analyses on hepatic tissues derived from HFCF-diet mice delineated that OP modulated MAFLD-associated transcriptional signatures. A synergistic assessment of transcriptomics and phosphoproteomics disclosed a salient effect of OP on the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR) pathway, particularly manifested by the upregulation of PPAR-γ signaling. In murine hepatocytes, OP counteracted steatosis and inflammation via the activation of PPAR-γ signaling. The effects induced by OP were nullified upon administration of the PPAR-γ-specific antagonist GW9662. Collectively, our empirical evidence furnishes the inaugural demonstration that OP mitigates MAFLD pathology through the activation of PPAR-γ signaling, thereby presenting a novel therapeutic avenue for MAFLD intervention.

Project description:Understanding mechanisms causing MAFLD (Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease) and its progression to MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) is clinically important and scientifically challenging. Hepatic insulin resistance is a common component in the progression of MAFLD in patients and experimental animals; however, hepatic steatosis caused by the HFD45% (high-fat diet) decreases during chronic hepatic IR generated by inactivation of Irs1/2 (LDKO), AKT1/2, or InsR 1-3—which is inconsistent with the expected relationship between IR and MAFLD in humans4. Here we found that complete hepatic insulin resistance promotes the fructose-enriched GAN diet-induced MAFLD, including acute inflammation and MASH in LDKO mice. Unexpectedly, fructose phosphorylation catalyzed by hepatic Khk (ketohexokinase) was not required as acute MAFLD progressed strongly in LDKOKhkL/L mice fed the GAN diet. FoxO1 activated during hepatic IR induces Fst (Follistatin) expression and secretion from the liver of LDKO mice. Inactivation of hepatic FoxO1 in LTKO mice (LDKO•FoxO1L/L) or Fst in LDKOFstKO mice prevented acute MAFLD during the GAN diet. Consistently, overexpression of hepatic Fst promoted GAN diet-induced MAFLD/MASH and hepatic carcinoma. Mechanistically, circulating Fst promoted adipose tissue IR and lipolysis, which can deliver FFA (free fatty acid) to the liver for esterification with excess Gro3P (glycerol 3-phosphate) generated by fructose metabolism, although hepatic DNL (de novo lipogenesis) decreased strongly in LDKO mice while. Since circulating FST correlates positively with both T2D and MAFLD in humans, our results suggests that hepatic FST induced by progressive hepatic IR might promote MAFLD/MASH during the consumption of sugar-sweetened food and beverages consumed frequently by people and animals with T2D.
