Project description:The aim of the current study was to check whether chronic treatment with AN1284 could reverse steatosis and fibrosis in a mouse model of NASH. We used a mouse model of dietary induced NASH that was given for 4 month. Treatment with saline or AN1284 was given via implanted minipumps for 2 month. Treatment was started after 2 month feeding. Our results revealed that AN1284 significantly attenuated liver damage, as indicated by a reduced liver/body ratio, decreased ALT serum levels, a significant reduction in liver fat content and hepatic fibrosis. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we performed RNA sequencing on mice fed with normal diet (ND) or high fat diet (HFD; Envigo-Teklad TD.150235).

Project description:The mechanisms underlying the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are not completely elucidated. In this study we have integrated gene expression profiling of liver biopsies of NASH patients with translational studies in a mouse model of steatohepatitis and with pharmacological interventions in isolated hepatocytes to identify a novel mechanism implicated in the pathogenesis of NASH. By using high-density oligonucleotide microarray analysis we identified a significant enrichment of known genes involved in the multi-step catalysis of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including delta-5 and 6 desaturases. A combined inhibitor of delta-5 and delta-6 desaturases significantly reduced intracellular lipid accumulation and inflammatory gene expression in isolated hepatocytes. Gas chromatography analysis revealed impaired delta-5 desaturase activity toward the omega-3 pathway in livers from mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NASH. Consistently, restoration of omega-3 index in transgenic fat-1 mice expressing an omega-3 desaturase, which allows the endogenous conversion of omega-6 into omega-3 fatty acids, produced a significant reduction in hepatic insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, macrophage infiltration and necroinflammatory liver injury, accompanied by attenuated expression of genes involved in inflammation, fatty acid uptake and lipogenesis. These results were comparable to those obtained in a group of mice receiving a HFD supplemented with EPA/DHA. Of interest, hepatocytes from fat-1 mice or supplemented with EPA exhibited synergistic anti-steatotic and anti-inflammatory actions with the delta-5/ delta-6 inhibitor. Conclusion: These findings indicate that both endogenous and exogenous restoration of the hepatic balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids and/or modulation of desaturase activities exert preventive actions in NASH. The complete database comprised the expression measurements of 18185 genes for liver sample groups: 8 non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH ) and 7 control samples. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Core diet-induced obesity networks were constructed using Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) based on 332 high-fat diet responsive genes identified in liver by time-course microarray analysis (8 time-points over 24 weeks) of high-fat diet fed mice compared to normal diet fed mice. IPA identified five core diet-induced obesity networks with time-dependent gene expression changes in liver. When we merged core diet-induced obesity networks, Tlr2, Cd14 and Ccnd1 emerged as hub genes associated with both liver steatosis and inflammation and were altered in a time-dependent manner. Further protein-protein interaction network analysis revealed Tlr2, Cd14 and Ccnd1 were inter-related through the ErbB/insulin signaling pathway. Dynamic changes occur in molecular networks underlying diet-induced obesity. Tlr2, Cd14 and Ccnd1 appear to be hub genes integrating molecular interactions associated with the development of NASH. Therapeutics targeting hub genes and core diet-induced obesity networks may help ameliorate diet-induced obesity and NASH. Total RNA obtained from isolated liver of C57BL/6J mice fed normal diet or high fat diet for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks.

Project description:BCAA were administered to atherogenic and high-fat (Ath & HF) diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model mice and platelet-derived growth factor C transgenic mice (Pdgf-c Tg). Liver histology, tumor incidence, and gene expression profiles were evaluated. BCAA supplementation improved hepatic steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis, and tumors in the NASH mouse model, possibly through the modification of mTORC1 signaling.

Project description:Non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a pathological condition of the liver in which hepatocyte steatosis, invasion of inflammatory cells and hepatic injury occur without alcohol abuse. Despite the known risk of liver cancer and liver fibrosis that may progress to liver cirrhosis that exists with NASH, an understanding of related gene expression and associated functional changes remains insufficient. The present study used a mouse model of NASH induced by a high‑fat diet to examine gene expression in the liver and to search for transcripts that could predict early liver fibrosis in the future. Mice fed a high‑fat diet for 2 weeks showed typical NASH liver histology by hematoxylin and eosin staining, and increased fibrosis was confirmed by Sirius red staining after 6 weeks. Functional changes associated with liver damage, liver inflammation, liver steatosis and liver fibrosis were predicted by toxicological ontology analysis using Ingenuity Pathways Analysis. Downregulated microRNA (miR)‑21 and upregulated collagen type III α1 mRNA in the liver and upregulated exosomal miR‑21 in serum of mice fed a high‑fat diet for 1 and/or 2 weeks were confirmed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, suggesting that these changes occur prior to histological confirmation of fibrosis. Therefore, it may be possible to predict future liver fibrosis by analyzing fibrosis‑related genes that shift prior to pathological findings.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of disease that ranges from simple steatosis, to inflammatory form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and up to hepatocellular carcinoma. While NASH usually takes decades to develop at a rate of one stage per seven years, in the case of post-trasplant NASH (pt-NASH) develops fibrosis much more rapidly, with almost 50% of liver transplant recipients presenting stage 3 fibrosis by 5 years post-transplant. Archived fresh-frozen transplanted liver biopsy samples from four liver biopsy samples with evidence of NASH (2 recurrent and 2 de novo), two with simple steatosis (both de novo), and five with normal histology as controls had their transcriptome sequenced in two batches for deeper coverage.

Project description:To evaluate the effect of M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin on diet-induced NASH, we fed a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (CL diet) with or without 0.003% M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin to C56BL/6J mice for 12 weeks. After feeding, M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin attenuated fat accumulation, increases in Kupffer and activated stellate cells, and fibrosis in CL diet-induced NASH in the mice. Comprehensive gene expression analysis showed that although M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin histochemically reduced steatosis, it was more effective in inhibiting inflammatory gene expression change in NASH. M-NM-2-Cryptoxanthin reduced the alteration of expression of genes associated with cell death, inflammatory responses, infiltration and activation of macrophages and other leukocytes, quantity of T cells, and free radical scavenging. However, it showed little effect on the expression of genes related to cholesterol and other lipid metabolism. The expression of markers of M1 and M2 macrophages, T helper cells, and cytotoxic T cells was significantly induced in NASH and reduced by M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin. M-NM-2-Cryptoxanthin suppressed the expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-inducible and/or TNFM-NM-1-inducible genes and the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase 1 in NASH. Thus, M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin suppresses inflammation and the resulting fibrosis probably by primarily suppressing the increase and activation of macrophages and other immune cells. Reducing oxidative stress is likely to be a major mechanism of inflammation and injury suppression in the livers of mice with NASH. Eight-week old male C57BL/6J mice were fed for 12 weeks on a CRF-1 standard chow (control), a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet (CL diet; 38.23% CRF-1, 60% cocoa butter, 1.25% cholesterol, 0.5% sodium cholate) or a CL diet containing 0.003% M-NM-2-cryptoxanthin.

Project description:Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that underlies a growing prevalence of cirrhosis and liver cancer worldwide. Clinical studies suggest that NASH is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but models and mechanisms linking these two diseases are lacking. Here, we have characterized the renal function, histological features, and transcriptomic profile in a well-validated murine NASH model generated by feeding a western diet (WD), with high contents of fat, fructose, and cholesterol, combined with a low dose of weekly IP carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). NASH mice developed significant glomerulosclerosis, tubular epithelial cell injury, and interstitial fibrosis at an intermediate stage (12 weeks). Animals with advanced NASH (24 weeks) displayed renal dysfunction, proteinuria, and renal fibrosis characterized by increased collagen deposition as tubulointerstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Mice treated with a low dose of CCl4 alone did not develop renal injury, thereby excluding the possibility of CCl4-induced nephrotoxicity. Transcriptomic analysis of kidney cortices revealed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were highly enriched in mitochondrial dysfunction, ATP synthesis, and oxidative stress at the intermediate stage (12 weeks) and dysregulation of the immune response, lipid metabolic process, and insulin signaling pathways at the late stage (24 weeks). NRF-mediated oxidative stress pathway, Sirtuin signaling, and AMPK pathways were also highly enriched. Our results confirm a causative role of NASH in the development of CKD and reveal potential mechanisms of NASH-induced kidney injury. These findings establish valuable model to study the pathogenesis of NASH-associated CKD, an important feature of fatty liver disease that has been largely overlooked, yet has clinical and prognostic importance.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is continuum of disorders among which non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is particularly associated with a negative prognosis. Hepatocyte lipotoxicity is one of the main pathogenic factors of liver fibrosis and NASH. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating this process are poorly understood. Here, we integrated transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility analyses from human liver and mouse hepatocytes to identify lipotoxicity-sensitive transcription factors. We found that the transcription factors MAFK and TCF4 were activated in liver from NASH patients and by mouse hepatocyte lipotoxicity. Genetic deletion of these transcription factors protected hepatocytes against saturated fatty acid oversupply. Notably, MAFK- and TCF4-regulated gene expression linked to lipotoxicity closely correlated with transcriptional patters in fibrosis progression in NASH patients. Collectively, our findings uncovered novel molecular insights into lipotoxicityinduced NASH, revealing the relevance and therapeutic potential of MAFK and TCF4 in human disease.
