The Influence of Hyperglycemia on Liver Triglyceride Deposition in Partially Pancreatectomized Rats.

ABSTRACT: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and diabetes always coexist. The relationship of fatty liver and hyperglycemia is not clear. We studied the influence of hyperglycemia on triglyceride (TG) accumulation in the liver and explored its possible mechanisms. SD rats were divided into three groups: Group A (sham operation control), Group B (partially pancreatectomized rats), and Group C (partially pancreatectomized rats treated with insulin). At 4 weeks after surgery, pancreatic weights and liver TG contents were measured. Serum biochemical parameters were determined, and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed. The gene expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein1c (SREBP-1c), carbohydrate regulatory element-binding protein (ChREBP), fatty acid synthase(FAS), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1), and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) was determined by real-time PCR. Compared with Group A, postprandial glucose increased significantly; the concentrations of insulin and C-peptides, pancreatic weights and serum FGF21 levels were decreased, liver TG was increased significantly in Group B, and insulin treatment improved these changes. Compared with Group A, the gene expressions of FGF21, CPT-1 and FAS in the liver were decreased in Group B (all p<0.05). Compared with Group B, the gene expressions of FGF21, FAS, ChREBP, SREBP-1c and CPT-1 in the liver in Group C were all increased significantly (p<0.05, respectively). Hyperglycemia induced by partial pancreatectomy could lead to increased liver TG. Insulin treatment could decrease glucose levels and improve fatty liver, and genes related to lipid metabolism may play a role in this process.

Project description:Several studies indicate that adult stem cells may improve the recovery from acute tissue injury. It has been suggested that they may contribute to tissue regeneration by the release of paracrine factors promoting proliferation of tissue resident cells. However, the factors involved remain unknown. In the present study we found that microvesicles (MV) derived from human liver stem cells (HLSC) were able to stimulate in vitro proliferation and apoptosis resistance of human and rat hepatocytes. These effects required internalization of MV in the hepatocytes by an alpha4 integrin-dependent mechanism. However, when treated with RNase, MV despites their internalization were unable to induce hepatocyte proliferation and apoptosis resistance, suggesting an RNA dependent effect. Microarray analysis and quantitative RT-PCR demonstrated that MV were shuttling a specific subset of cellular mRNA, such as mRNA associated in the control of transcription, translation, proliferation and apoptosis. When administered in vivo, MV were found to accelerate the morphological and functional recovery of liver in a model of 70% hepatectomy in rats by inducing an hepatocytes proliferation that was abolished by RNase treatment. Using human AGO2 gene, which is shuttled by MV, as a reporter gene, we found the expression of human AGO2 mRNA and protein in the liver of hepatectomized rats treated with MV. This suggest a translation of the MV shuttled mRNA within hepatocytes of treated rats. Conclusion: these results suggest that MV derived from HLSC may activate a proliferative program in remnant hepatocytes after hepatectomy by a horizontal transfer of specific mRNA subsets. MV contained mRNA was submitted to microarray analysis not to define the amount of mRNA but only to define which transcripts were present. Total RNA was prepared from two independent preparation of vesicles. 250, 500 and 1000 ngs from each preparation were transformed in biotin-labeled cRNA. A simple statistical linear model was used to identify transcript signals linearly correlated to the increment of total RNA concentration used to prepare cRNA.
