An IL6-STAT3-MR-FGF21 Axis Mediates Heart-Liver Crosstalk after Myocardial Infarction

ABSTRACT: The liver plays a protective role in myocardial infarction (MI). However, very little is known about the mechanisms. Here, we identify mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) as a pivotal nexus that conveys communications between the liver and the heart during MI. On one hand, hepatocyte MR deficiency and MR antagonist spironolactone both improve cardiac repair after MI through regulation on hepatic fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), illustrating an MR/FGF21 axis that underlies the liver-to-heart protection against MI. On the other hand, an upstreaming acute interleukin-6 (IL6) / signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway transmits the heart-to-liver signal to suppress MR expression after MI. Hepatocyte IL6 receptor (IL6R) deficiency and STAT3 deficiency both aggravate cardiac injury through their regulation on the MR/FGF21 axis. Therefore, we have unveiled an IL6/STAT3/MR/FGF21 signaling axis that mediates heart-liver crosstalk during MI. Targeting the signaling axis and the crosstalk may provide novel strategies to treat MI and heart failure.

Project description:IL6-STAT3 is a canonical pro-inflammatory pathway that is highly related to temperature fluctuation and viral infection. Our understanding concerning how the crosstalk between IL6-STAT3 signaling axis and environmental temperature determines viral infection remains rudimentary. Employing an aquatic reovirus infection in ectotherms as a model system, we delineated a pivotal role of IL6-STAT3-HSP90 signaling axis in temperature dependent pathogenesis through interacting with viral capsid proteins to promote viral entry.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 ameliorates cholestatic liver injury via a hepatic FGFR4-JNK pathway

Project description:Cholestasis is characterized by hepatic accumulation of cytotoxic bile acids (BAs), which often subsequentlyleads to liver injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and ultimately liver cirrhosis. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a liver secreted hormone with pleiotropic effects on the homeostasis of glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism. However, whether hepatic FGF21 plays a role in cholestatic liver injury remains elusive. We found that serum and hepatic FGF21 levels were significantly increased in response to cholestatic liver injury. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of Fgf21 exacerbated hepatic accumulation of BAs, further accentuating liver injury. Consistently, administration of rFGF21 ameliorated cholestatic liver injury in α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)-treated and Mdr2 deficiency mice. Mechanically, FGF21 activated a hepatic FGFR4-JNK signaling pathway to decrease Cyp7a1 expression, thereby reducing hepatic BAs pool. Our study demonstrates that hepatic FGF21 functions as an adaptive stress-responsive signal to downregulate BA biosynthesis, thereby ameliorating cholestatic liver injury, and FGF21 analogs may represent a candidate therapy for cholestatic liver diseases.

IL6/STAT3 co-opts ER regulatory elements to drive metastasis in breast cancer

Project description:Interleukin 6 (IL6) signaling has been associated with an aggressive and metastatic phenotype in multiple solid tumors including breast cancer, but its mechanism of action in mediating tumor progression and treatment response is not clear. By exploiting a clinically relevant intraductal xenograft model of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, we demonstrate that IL6 increases both primary tumor growth and distant metastases. By integrating pre-clinical models and clinical specimens, we show that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mediates IL6-induced activation of a metastatic gene program from enhancer-elements shared with ER and its pioneer factor FOXA1. Although IL6 activated STAT3 and ER/FOXA1 share cis-regulatory regions, STAT3 drives transcription independent of ER and FOXA1 function, and the IL6/STAT3 gene program is not influenced by ER-targeted therapies, decoupling these two important pathways. This demonstrates that ER/FOXA1 and IL6/STAT3 are two parallel, but independent actionable pathways controlling breast cancer progression.

Crosstalk between very different family members: How STAT3 activating IL6-type cytokines inhibit the IFNg-like responses of IL27 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:Interleukin-27 (IL27) is a type-I-cytokine of the IL6/IL12 family predominantly secreted by activated macrophages and dendritic cells. Best understood are the effects of IL27 on immune cells where it has been described to have pro- or anti-inflammatory properties, either promoting TH1 responses or suppressing TH1 and TH2 responses. The action on other cell types is less well studied. In the liver, IL27 expression was observed to be upregulated in patients with hepatitis B, and sera of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients contain significantly elevated levels of IL27 compared to healthy controls or patients with hepatitis and/or liver cirrhosis. We previously reported interferon-gamma-like antiviral activity of IL27 in hepatic cells. Here we further studied the effects of IL27 on HCC cells in comparison to other cytokines. We were especially interested in the relevance of the IL27-induced STAT3 activation. Thus we compared its response with those induced by IFNg (STAT1-dominated response) or IL6-type cytokines (IL6, Hyper-IL6 or OSM) (STAT3-dominated response). We find that in hepatocytes, IL27 induces an IFNg-like, STAT1-dependent transcriptional response, but we do not find an effective STAT3-dependent response. The availability of STAT1 seems critical in the shaping of the IL27 response, as the siRNA knock-down of STAT1 revealed its ability to induce the acute-phase protein gamma-fibrinogen, a typical IL6 family characteristic. Moreover, we describe a crosstalk between the signaling of IL6-type cytokines and IL27: responses to the gp130-engaging cytokine IL27 (but not those to IFNs) can be inhibited by IL6-type cytokine pre-stimulation, likely by a SOCS3-mediated mechanism. This experiment represents microarray analysis of three hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines treated with IL-27, IFNg, hyper-IL6 or OSM in combination with shRNA knockdown of STAT3.

The Slc25a47 locus is a novel determinant of hepatic mitochondrial function implicated in liver fibrosis

Project description:Background & Aims: Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological relevance as gatekeepers of cellular metabolism, most of the SLC25 family members remain uncharacterized. We undertook a comprehensive tissue distribution analysis of all Slc25 family members across metabolic organs and identified SLC25A47 as a liver-specific mitochondrial carrier. Method: We used a murine loss-of-function (LOF) model to unravel the role of this transporter in mitochondrial and hepatic homeostasis. We performed extensive metabolic phenotyping and molecular characterization of Slc25a47hep-/- mice. Results: Slc25a47hep-/- mice displayed a wide variety of metabolic abnormalities, as a result of sustained energy deficiency in the liver originating from impaired mitochondrial respiration in this organ. This mitochondrial phenotype was associated with a robust activation of the mitochondrial stress response in the liver, which in turn, induced the secretion of several mitokines, amongst which FGF21 played a preponderant role in the translation of the effects of the MSR on systemic physiology. To dissect the FGF21-dependent and -independent physiological changes induced by the loss of Slc25a47, we generated a double Slc25a47-Fgf21 LOF mouse model, and demonstrated that several aspects of the hypermetabolic state was entirely driven by hepatic secretion of FGF21. On the other hand, the metabolic fuel inflexibility induced by loss of Slc25a47 could not be rescued by genetical removal of Fgf21. Conclusion: Collectively, our data place SLC25A47 at the center of mitochondrial homeostasis, which upon dysfunction triggers robust liver-specific and systemic adaptive stress responses.

Hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ER-Associated Degradation (ERAD) manages FGF21 levels and systemic metabolism via CREBH

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) is a liver-derived, fasting-induced hormone with broad effects on growth, nutrient metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Here, we report the discovery of a novel mechanism regulating Fgf21 expression under growth and fasting-feeding. The Sel1LHrd1 complex is the most conserved branch of mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- associated degradation (ERAD) machinery. Mice with liver-specific deletion of Sel1L exhibit growth retardation with markedly elevated circulating Fgf21, reaching levels close to those in Fgf21 transgenic mice or pharmacological models. Mechanistically, we show that the Sel1LHrd1 ERAD complex controls Fgf21 transcription by regulating the ubiquitination and turnover (and thus nuclear abundance) of ER-resident transcription factor Crebh, while having no effect on the other well-known Fgf21 transcription factor Pparα. Our data reveal a physiologically regulated, inverse correlation between Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD and Crebh-Fgf21 levels under fasting-feeding and growth. This study not only establishes the importance of Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD in the liver in the regulation of systemic energy metabolism, but also reveals a novel hepatic “ERADCrebh- Fgf21” axis directly linking ER protein turnover to gene transcription and systemic metabolic regulation.
