Mouse model of steatohepatitis

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the differences in gene expression between normal mice and mice with hepatic steatosis to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of fatty liver disease and to provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of related diseases. C57BL/6J mice were selected as the experimental subjects, and a fatty liver inflammation model was established by feeding them a high-fat, high-fructose, and high-cholesterol (FFC) diet. Specifically, the FFC diet consisted of 40 kcal% fat, 20 kcal% fructose, and 2% cholesterol, and the mice were continuously fed this diet for 24 weeks. Afterward, we monitored the total cholesterol (TC) levels in the mice, and the results showed a significant increase in total cholesterol in the model group. By comparing the gene expression profiles of normal mice and mice with fatty liver inflammation, we hope to identify key genes and signaling pathways associated with fatty liver disease, thereby deepening our understanding of the pathophysiological processes of hepatic steatosis and laying the foundation for the development of new diagnostic markers and therapeutic strategies.

Project description:Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by excess circulating toxic lipids, hepatic steatosis, and liver inflammation. Monocyte adhesion to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) and transendothelial migration (TEM) are crucial in the inflammatory process. LSEC under lipotoxic stress develops a pro-inflammatory phenotype known as endotheliopathy. However, the mediators of endotheliopathy remain obscure. Primary mouse LSEC isolated from C57BL/6J mice on chow or MASH-inducing diets rich in fat, fructose, and cholesterol (FFC) were subjected to multi-omics profiling. Mice with established MASH, due to a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD) or FFC diet, were treated with two structurally distinct GSK3 inhibitors [LY2090314, elraglusib (9-ING-41)]. Integrated pathway analysis of mouse LSEC proteome and transcriptome indicates that leukocyte TEM and focal adhesion are major pathways altered in MASH. Kinome profiling of the LSEC phospho-proteome identified GSK3β as the major kinase hub in MASH. GSK3β activating phosphorylation was increased in primary human LSEC treated with the toxic lipid palmitate and in human MASH. Palmitate upregulated the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2, intracellular adhesion molecule 1, and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase, via a GSK3-dependant mechanism. Congruently, the adhesive and transendothelial migratory capacities of primary human neutrophils and THP-1 monocytes through LSEC monolayer under lipotoxic stress were reduced by GSK3 inhibition. Treatment with the GSK3 inhibitors LY2090314 and elraglusib ameliorated liver inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in FFC and CDHFD-fed mice, respectively. Immunophenotyping of intrahepatic leukocytes from CDHFD-fed mice treated with elraglusib using cytometry by the time of flight showed reduced proinflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells infiltration.GSK3 inhibition attenuates lipotoxicity-induced LSEC endotheliopathy and may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy in human MASH.
