Project description:Optimal treatment for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has not yet been established, particularly for individuals without diabetes. We examined the effects of metformin, commonly used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, on liver pathology in a non-diabetic NASH mouse model. Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) + high fat (HF) diet with or without 0.1% metformin for 8 weeks.
Project description:The microRNAs expression was altered with the treatment of metformin in vivo and several microRNAs induced by metformin also may contribute to suppressed of NASH. Using a custom microarray platform, we analyzed the expression levels of 1135 mouse microRNA probes in liver tissue in vivo that were treated with and without metformin.

Project description:Nanotherapy for MCD induced NASH model
Project description:Kupffer cells (KCs) self-renew by local proliferation in the adult independently from monocytes (Mos). However, how they maintain during chronic metabolic disorders such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains ill-defined. We characterized KCs during NASH and observed diversity in the KC pool, with a significant fraction of monocyte-derived KCs (MoKCs). Here, we aim to uncover the transcriptional landscapes of KCs subsets found in a mouse model of methionine and choline deficient (MCD)-diet induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Project description:Only a small fraction of patients with HCC benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Recently published studies suggest that HCC in patients with NASH does not respond the ICI therapy. Indeed, we demonstrate that anti-PD1 therapy is not working in several murine NASH models. CD8+ T cells were identified as the effector of anti-PD1 therapy. We observed a proinflammatory phenotype if hepatic CD8+ T cells that does not explain the inefficacy of anti-PD1 therapy in NASH. However, our study revealed an impairment of intratumoral CD8+ T cells movement abilities in NASH. Additionally, a broad reduction of metabolic fitness was observed in hepatic CD8+ T cells NASH. This was restored by metformin treatment. The combination treatment of anti-PD1 and metformin reduced intrahepatic tumor burden in NASH, a finding with important implications for NASH patients. This GEO submission contains raw files for the CD8 nsolver microarray analyses.
