Obesity Disrupts the Pituitary-Hepatic UPR Communication Leading to NAFLD Progression (liver bulk RNA seq)

ABSTRACT: Obesity alters circulating levels of pituitary hormones that govern hepatic immune-metabolic homeostasis, and dysregulation of which leads to NAFLD. Here, using diet induced obese mouse and IRE1PKO mice, we uncovered an blunted unfolded protein response (UPR) but elevated inflammatory signatures in pituitary glands of obese mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that the pituitary IRE1alpha-XBP1 UPR branch is essential for protecting against pituitary endocrine defects and NAFLD progression in obesity.

Genome wide analysis of copy number variation in NAFLD spectrum

Project description:Despite some success in identifying CNVs responsible for metabolic phenotypes including obesity and diabetes mellitus, there are as yet no data available to suggest whether or not CNVs might be involved in the etiology of the NAFLD spectrum. This report is a comprehensive analysis of copy number in Malaysian patients with NAFLD. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood obtained from patients with NAFLD and submitted for genome-wide analysis using aCGH

Macrophage-derived thrombospondin1 promotes obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Project description:Thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a multifunctional matricellular protein. Previously we have shown that TSP1 plays an important role in obesity-associated metabolic complications including inflammation, insulin resistance, cardiovascular and renal disease. However, its contribution to obesity-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains largely unknown and is determined in this study. High fat diet or AMLN diet-induced obese and insulin resistant NAFLD/NASH mouse models were utilized. In addition, tissue specific TSP1 knockout mice were utilized to determine the contribution of different cellular sources of obesity-induced TSP1 to NAFLD/NASH development. The data demonstrated that liver TSP1 levels were increased in experimental obese and insulin resistant NAFLD/NASH mouse models as well as in human obese NASH patients. Moreover, TSP1 deletion in hepatocyte or adipocytes did not protect mice from diet-induced NAFLD/NASH. However, myeloid/macrophage-specific TSP1 deletion protected mice against obesity-associated liver injury, accompanied by reduced liver inflammation and fibrosis. Importantly, this protection is independent of the levels of obesity and hepatic steatosis. Mechanistically, through an autocrine effect, macrophage-derived TSP1 suppressed SMPDL3B expression in liver, which amplified liver pro-inflammatory signaling (TLR4 signal pathway) and promoted NAFLD progression. Together, out data suggest that macrophage-derived TSP1 is a significant contributor to obesity-associated NAFLD/NASH development and progression and may serve as a therapeutic target for this disease.

Prognostic Liver Signature for NAFLD (PLS-NAFLD) profiles of cell-based PLS system treated with free fatty acids (FFA) and IDO1 inhibitor, epacadostat.

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), alongside the global obesity epidemic, is rapidly emerging as a dominant liver disease etiology that leads to progressive liver fibrosis, its terminal stage, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We identified and validated a 133-gene signature (Prognostic Liver Signature for NAFLD [PLS-NAFLD]) to predict long-term HCC risk in patients with NAFLD. By analyzing PLS-NAFLD, IDO1 was identified as a potenial chemopreventive target for HCC from NAFLD. To test this hypothesis, we utilized our clinical-prognostic-signature-inducible cell culture model. We first confirmed that free fatty acid treatment (800 μM oleic acid and 400 μM palmitic acid) can induce PLS-NAFLD, then IDO1 inhibitor, epacadostat, can reverse the high-risk pattern in a dose-dependent manner.

IRE1alpha is an endogenous substrate of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) represents a principle quality control (QC) mechanism to clear misfolded proteins in the ER; however, its physiological significance and the nature of endogenous ERAD substrates remain largely unknown. Here we discover that IRE1alpha, the sensor of unfolded protein response (UPR), is a bona fide substrate of the Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD complex. Mechanistically, ERAD-mediated IRE1alpha degradation occurs in a Bip-dependent manner under basal conditions and is attenuated in response to ER stress. Both intramembrane hydrophilic residues of IRE1alpha and lectin protein OS9 are required for IRE1alpha degradation. ERAD deficiency causes IRE1alpha protein stabilization, accumulation and mild activation both in vitro and in vivo, leading to cellular hypersensitivity to ER stress and inflammation. Furthermore, though enterocyte-specific Sel1L-knockout mice (Sel1LÎ?IEC) are viable and appear normal, they are more susceptible to experimental colitis in an IRE1alpha-dependent but CHOP-independent manner. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD serves a distinct, essential function in restraint of IRE1alpha signaling in vivo by managing its protein turnover. Colon epithelium of wild type and enterocyte-specific Sel1L knockout mice were subjected to gene expression analysis.

New aspects characterizing nonobese NAFLD by the analysis of the intestinal flora and metabolites using a mouse model

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health problem due to the high incidence affecting approximately one-third of the world’s population. NAFLD is usually linked to obesity and excessive weight. A subset of patients with NAFLD express normal or low body mass index; thus, the condition is called nonobese NAFLD or lean NAFLD. However, patients and healthcare professionals have little awareness and understanding of NAFLD in nonobese individuals. Furthermore, preclinical results from nonobese animal models with NAFLD are unclear. Gut microbiota and their metabolites in nonobese/lean NAFLD patients differ from those in obese NAFLD patients. Therefore, we analyzed the biochemical indices, intestinal flora and intestinal metabolites in a nonobese NAFLD mouse model established using a methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet. The significantly lean MCD mice had a remarkable fatty liver with lower serum triglyceride and free fatty acid levels as well as higher alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels than normal mice. 16s RNA sequencing of fecal DNA showed that the overall richness and diversity of the intestinal flora decreased in MCD mice, whereas the Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio was increased. g_Tuzzerella, s_Bifidobacterium pseudolongum and s_Faecalibaculum rodentium were the predominant species in nonobese NAFLD mice. Fecal metabolomics using LC-MS/MS revealed the potential biomarkers for the prognosis and diagnosis of nonobese NAFLD, including high levels of tyramine glucuronide, 9,12,13-TriHOME and pantetheine 4'-phosphate, and low levels of 3-carbamoyl-2-phenylpropionaldehyde, N-succinyl-L,L-2,6-diaminopimelate, 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol, homogentisic acid and estriol. Our findings could be useful to identify and develop drugs to treat nonobese NAFLD and lean NAFLD.
