Mechanisms for Bile Acids CDCA- and DCA-Stimulated Hepatic Spexin Expression.

ABSTRACT: Spexin (SPX) is a novel peptide involved in glucose and lipid metabolism and suppresses hepatic total bile acid levels by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase 1 expression. As important mediators for glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and lipid metabolism, the effects of bile acids on SPX expression is yet to be understood. By using SMMC7721 and BEL-7402 cell lines, we screened the effects of bile acids and found that chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) can stimulate SPX gene transcription. Both CDCA and DCA were able to stimulate SPX mRNA expression in the liver but not colon and ileum in mice. In SMMC7721 and BEL-7402 cells, CDCA- and DCA-induced SPX promoter activity was mimicked by bile acid receptor FXR and TGR5 activation and suppressed by FXR and TGR5 silencing. Adenylate cyclase (AC)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) activators significantly increased SPX promoter activity whereas the inhibitors for AC/CAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway attenuated CDCA- and DCA-induced SPX transcription. Thus, CDCA and DCA stimulate SPX expression at the hepatic level through FXR and TGR5 mediated AC/cAMP/PKA and MAPK cascades.

Project description:Persistent cholestasis has been associated with poor prognosis after orthotopic liver transplantation. In this study, we aimed to investigate how the accumulation of tauro-beta-muricholic acid (TβMCA), resulting from the reprogramming of bile acid (BA) metabolism during liver ischemia/reperfusion (IR) stress, attenuates liver inflammation. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was performed using transcriptome data from a murine hepatic IR model. Three different models of hepatic IR (liver warm IR, bile duct separation-IR, common bile duct ligation-IR) were employed. We generated adeno-associated virus-transfected mice and CD11b-DTR mice to assess the role of BAs in regulating the myeloid S1PR2-GSDMD axis. Hepatic BA levels were analyzed using targeted metabolomics. Finally, the correlation between the reprogramming of BA metabolism and hepatic S1PR2 levels was validated through RNA-seq of human liver transplant biopsies. We found that BA metabolism underwent reprogramming in murine hepatocytes under IR stress, leading to increased synthesis of TβMCA, catalyzed by the enzyme CYP2C70. The levels of hepatic TβMCA were negatively correlated with the severity of hepatic inflammation, as indicated by the serum IL-1β levels. Inhibition of hepatic CYP2C70 resulted in reduced TβMCA production, which subsequently increased serum IL-1β levels and exacerbated IR injury. Moreover, our findings suggested that TβMCA could inhibit canonical inflammasome activation in macrophages and attenuate inflammatory responses in a myeloid-specific S1PR2-GSDMD-dependent manner. Additionally, Gly-βMCA, a derivative of TβMCA, could effectively attenuate inflammatory injury in vivo and inhibit human macrophage pyroptosis in vitro. IR stress orchestrates hepatic BA metabolism to generate TβMCA, which attenuates hepatic inflammatory injury by inhibiting the myeloid S1PR2-GSDMD axis. Bile acids have immunomodulatory functions in liver reperfusion injury that may guide therapeutic strategies. Our research reveals that liver ischemia-reperfusion stress triggers reprogramming of bile acid metabolism. This functions as an adaptive mechanism to mitigate inflammatory injury by regulating the S1PR2-GSDMD axis, thereby controlling the release of IL-1β from macrophages. Our results highlight the crucial role of bile acids in regulating hepatocyte-immune cell crosstalk, which demonstrates an immunomodulatory function in liver reperfusion injury that may guide therapeutic strategies targeting bile acids and their receptors.
