OTUD1 regulates cytokine expression and related pathways in goose fatty liver by promoting deubiquitination of its target proteins.

ABSTRACT: Goose fatty liver (or foie gras) does not develop inflammation even in severe steatosis, which is different from human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and it is considered as a unique model for NAFLD study. The deubiquitinating enzyme, Ovarian Tumor (OTU)-Deubiquitinase 1 (OTUD1), is involved in various cell biological processes by regulating the expression of cytokines. Its role and mechanism in the formation of goose fatty liver however are not clear yet. This study determined the expression of OTUD1 in goose fatty liver versus normal liver and OTUD1 expression in goose primary liver treated with glucose, fatty acids and insulin using qPCR and immunoblotting assays. OTUD1 gene overexpression and subsequent transcriptome sequencing analysis were performed to identify the differe
