ABSTRACT
Obesity has become a worldwide health crisis and is associated with a plethora of comorbidities. The multi-organ effects of obesity have been linked to ectopic lipid accumulation. Thus, there is an urgent need to tackle the obesity crisis by developing effective lipid-lowering therapies. 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-Cyclodextrin (2HP-ß-CD) has been previously shown to reduce lysosomal cholesterol accumulation in a murine model of Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease. Using a murine model of Western diet-induced obesity (DIO), we report the effects of 2HP-ß-CD in counteracting weight gain, expansion of adipose tissue mass and ectopic lipid accumulation. Interestingly, DIO caused intracellular storage of neutral lipids in hepatic tissues and of phospholipids in kidneys, both of which were prevented by 2HP-ß-CD. Importantly, this report brings attention to the nephrotoxic effects of 2HP-ß-CD renal tubular damage, inflammation and fibrosis. These effects may be overlooked, as they are best appreciated upon assessment of renal histology.
