Project description:Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has emerged as a major challenge for public health because of high global prevalence and lack of evidence-based therapies. Most animal models of NASH lack sufficient validation regarding disease progression and pharmacological treatment. The Gubra-Amylin NASH (GAN) diet-induced obese (DIO) mouse demonstrate clinical translatability with respect to disease etiology and hallmarks of NASH. This study aimed to evaluate disease progression and responsiveness to clinically effective interventions in GAN DIO-NASH mice. Disease phenotyping was performed in male C57BL/6J mice fed the GAN diet high in fat, fructose and cholesterol for 28-88 weeks. GAN DIO-NASH mice with biopsy-confirmed NASH and fibrosis received low-caloric dietary intervention, semaglutide (30 nmol/kg/day, s.c.) or lanifibranor (30 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. Within-subject change in NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) and fibrosis stage was evaluated using automated deep learning-based image analysis. GAN DIO-NASH mice showed clear and reproducible progression in NASH, fibrosis stage and tumor burden with high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Consistent with clinical trial outcomes, semaglutide and lanifibranor improved NAS, while only lanifibranor induced regression in fibrosis stage. Dietary intervention also demonstrated substantial benefits on metabolic outcomes and liver histology. Differential therapeutic efficacy of dietary intervention, semaglutide and lanifibranor was supported by quantitative histology, RNA sequencing, and blood/liver biochemistry. In conclusion, the GAN DIO-NASH mouse model recapitulates various histological stages of NASH and faithfully reproduces histological efficacy profiles of compounds in advanced clinical development for NASH. Collectively, these features highlight the utility of GAN DIO-NASH mice in preclinical drug development.

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:The lack of an appropriate preclinical model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that recapitulates the whole disease spectrum impedes exploration of disease pathophysiology and the development of effective treatment strategies. Therefore, we developed new mose model with Streptozotocin (STZ)and high-fat diet (HFD). In breif, male C57BL/6J mice were injected with low-dose streptozotocin (40 mg/kg) for 5 consecutive days beginning at 7 weeks of age and subsequently fed a high-fat diet from week 8 (STZ+HFD) onwards. Hepatic histopathology, transcriptomics, epigenetics, and metabolic phenotypes were evaluated at various time-points. The hepatic transcriptomes of STZ+HFD mice and NAFLD patients with similar liver histopathology were compared. In STZ+HFD mice, dietary changes from HFD to standard chow and administration of tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, were introduced to assess the therapeutic efficacy of these interventions. STZ+HFD mice gradually developed fatty liver, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatic fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the context of metabolic dysfunction. In particular, from 32 weeks of age, NASH and advanced fibrosis were evident. At 38 weeks, a proportion of STZ+HFD mice developed HCC, which was subsequently observed in all mice up to 68 weeks of age. Furthermore, the hepatic transcriptomic features of STZ+HFD mice closely reflected those of patients with NASH and NAFLD-related HCC. Notably, dietary changes and tirzepatide administration alleviated NASH, hepatic fibrosis, and hepatic tumorigenesis in STZ+HFD mice. Put together, we established a murine model recapitulating the main histopathologic, transcriptomic, and metabolic alterations observed in NAFLD patients with metabolic dysfunction was successfully established.

Project description:Background and aims: Liver is a major target organ for alcohol-induced disease and the spectrum of pathological states elicited by alcohol in liver comprises steatosis, alcoholic steatohepatitis, progressive fibrosis and cirrhosis, conditions that may progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. Many experimental animal models of alcoholic steatohepatitis exist that vary in duration, mode of alcohol administration and the degree and types of liver injury produced. While most of these models, regardless whether alcohol is administered through liquid diet or intragastrically, produce steatohepatitis and mild fibrosis, it is widely acknowledged that these models fail to fully recapitulate key characteristics of severe forms of alcoholic liver disease, such as alcoholic hepatitis. Recent studies attempted to combine alcohol and fibrosis and achieved promising results in mouse models that achieve some of the key features of alcoholic liver disease accompanied by exacerbated fibrosis and acute renal injury. This study combined a chronic cholestatic liver fibrosis model induced by 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) with a mouse model of intragastric alcohol feeding. Methods: Adult male C57BL6/J mice were treated with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocolidine (DDC) containing diet (0.05% w/w) to induce chronic liver fibrosis. Following DDC-induced fibrogenesis, ethyl alcohol (EtOH) (up to 27 g/ kg/day, up to 28 days) was administered continuously to mice via a gastric feeding tube (Tsukamoto-Frenchmodel of alcoholic liver disease). Results: Exposure to DDC or EtOH alone resulted in liver fibrosis or steatosis, respectively. Combined treatment with DDC and EtOH lead to an additive effect on liver injury, as evident by the development of hepatic inflammation, steatosis, and pericellular fibrosis, and by increased serum transaminase levels, compared to mice treated with either agent alone. Liver transcriptomic changes specific to combined treatment group included pathways involved in the cell cycle and DNA damage. Analyses of feces from these mice revealed alcohol-associated changes to the bile acid profile and gut microbiome. Conclusions: Mice treated with DDC and EtOH displayed several key characteristics of human alcoholic hepatitis, including pericellular fibrosis, increased hepatic bacterial load with dysbiosis, reduced capacity of the microbiome to synthesize secondary bile acids.

Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) supplementation has been suggested as a therapy against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We investigated whether hepatocyte-specific knockout of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) caused increased susceptibility towards liver damage in mice fed a low-methionine, choline-free 60% high-fat (MCD) diet. Knockout mice (HNKO) accumulated less hepatic triglyceride than WT littermates after 3 weeks of MCD, but had increased scores for liver inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. We found that fibrosis, necrosis, and portal inflammation was also present in HNKO mice on a purified control diet (PD) but not in chow-fed HNKO mice due to a higher content of NAD+ precursors in the diet. The PD induced fibrosis within 3 days of exposure could be prevented by supplementation with the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR). When NR was supplied after fibrosis induction, hepatic NAD+ levels markedly increased, and portal inflammation was attenuated. The fibrosis phenotype was associated with a decreased abundance of proteins involved in oxidation and reduction processes, particularly for proteins in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). NR supplementation increased abundance of these proteins. High-resolution respirometry revealed that PD-fed HNKO mice had decreased oxygen consumption when stimulated with succinate, and a decrease in maximal uncoupled respiratory capacity. Conclusions: We show that HNKO mice have increased susceptibility towards liver fibrosis when dietary NAD+ content is restricted, and that low NAD+ levels can affect hepatic mitochondrial function. Furthermore, our data suggest NR treatment has potential for preventing liver damage and NASH progression.

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 several transcription factors that were activated in liver from NASH patients and by mouse hepatocyte lipotoxicity. Notably, the gene expression linked to lipotoxicity closely correlated with transcriptional patters in fibrosis progression in NASH patients. Collectively, our findings uncovered novel molecular insights into lipotoxicity-induced NASH.

Project description:Liver fibrosis is a strong predictor of long-term mortality in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; yet the mechanisms underlying the progression from the comparatively benign fatty liver state to advanced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis are incompletely under-stood. Using a cell type-resolved genomics approach, we show that comprehensive alterations in hepatocyte genomic and transcriptional settings during NASH progression, led to a partial loss of hepatocyte identity. The hepatocyte reprogramming was under tight cooperative control of a net-work of NASH-activated transcription factors (TFs), as exemplified by Elf3 and Glis2. Indeed, Elf3 and Glis2 controlled hepatocyte identity and fibrosis-dependent hepatokine genes targeting disease-associated hepatic stellate cell (HSC) gene programs. Thus, interconnected TF networks not only promoted hepatocyte dysfunction, but also directed the intra-hepatic crosstalk with HSCs necessary for NASH and fibrosis progression implying molecular “hub-centered” targeting strategies to be superior to existing mono-target approaches as currently used in NASH therapy.
