Project description:Background & Aims: Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MAFLD) progresses to steatohepatitis (MASH) and is a major cause of liver cirrhosis. In the early disease stage, liver inflammation is absent. However, the early involvement of the peripheral immune cell compartments in disease progression is poorly understood and single cell profiles of peripheral immune cells in MAFLD/MASH are not known. Methods: MAFLD/MASH patients and healthy volunteers have been prospectively enrolled into a cross-sectional study characterized by White Blood bulk RNA-Seq.

Project description:Background & Aims: Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MAFLD) progresses to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and is a major cause of liver cirrhosis. Although liver inflammation is the hallmark feature of MASH vs MAFLD, the involvement of the peripheral immune cell compartments in disease progression is poorly understood and single cell profiles of peripheral immune cells in MAFLD/MASH are not known. Methods: MAFLD/MASH patients and healthy volunteers have been prospectively enrolled into a cross-sectional study. Patients have been histologically stratified and further characterized by liver bulk RNA-Seq. Peripheral immune cells from patients and control blood samples have been comprehensively profiled using bulk and single RNA-Seq. Results: 22 patients with fibrosis stage less then F3 have been histologically stratified into patients with low, medium and high disease activity score (NAS). In contrast to fibrosis, NAS group correlated with non-invasive imaging readouts and blood biomarkers of liver damage and inflammation (ALT, AST). Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity was increased with NAS stage. Bulk RNA-seq profiling of patient liver biopsies revealed gene signatures that were positively and negatively associated with NAS. Known marker genes for liver fibrosis where up-regulated on RNA level. Blood bulk RNA-sequencing showed only moderate differences in patients versus healthy controls. In contrast, single cell analysis of white blood cells revealed multiple alterations of immune (sub-) populations including increased abundance of immature B-cells and myeloid suppressor cells in MAFLD/MASH patients as well as disease-association of neutrophil sub-populations.

Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1), a DHA-derived specialized pro-resolving mediator, on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Our study aims to determine the mechanism by which RvD1 protects against MASH progression. RvD1 was administrated to MASH mice, followed by bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Primary cells including bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), Kupffer cells, T cells, and primary hepatocytes were isolated to study the effect of RvD1 on inflammation, cell death, and fibrosis regression genes. RvD1 administration improved MASH features including reducing inflammation, cell death, and liver fibrosis. Mechanistically, RvD1 reduced inflammation by suppressing the stat1-cxcl10 signaling pathway in macrophages and prevented cell death by alleviating ER stress-mediated apoptosis in hepatocytes. Moreover, RvD1 induced Mmp2 and decreased Acta2 expression in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and promoted Mmp9 and Mmp12 expression in macrophages, leading to fibrosis regression in MASH. RvD1 reduced stat1-mediated pro-inflammatory response, mitigated ER stress-induced apoptosis, and promotes MMP-mediated fibrosis regression in MASH. Thus, our study highlights the therapeutic potential of RvD1 for MASH.

Project description:Neutrophils, a major innate immune cell population, are the most abundant circulating white blood cell in humans. They play a crucial role in host defense against infection; however, aberrant neutrophil activation may induce tissue damage via sterile inflammation. Neutrophil accumulation has been identified as a feature of the inflammatory response observed MASH and has been associated with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. In the present study, we used RNA-Seq analysis of purified neutrophils to characterize their dysregulation in MASH.

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis was applied to liver tissues of seven patients with MAFLD and nine normal controls,then, differential genes were identified by comparative analysis of sequencing results, and target genes that may be related to the pathogenesis of MAFLD were further studied.This study may provide new ideas for understanding the pathogenesis of MAFLD and thus provide new targets for the treatment of MAFLD.
