ABSTRACT
SCOPE Resveratrol reportedly improves fatty liver. This study purposed to elucidate the effect of resveratrol on fatty liver in mice fed a high-fat (HF) diet, and to investigate the role of liver macrophages (Kupffer cells). METHODS AND RESULTS:
C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups, receiving either a control diet, HF diet (50% fat), or HF supplemented with 0.2% resveratrol (HF + res) diet, for 8 weeks. Compared with the HF group, the HF + res group exhibited markedly attenuated fatty liver, and reduced lipid droplets (LDs) in hepatocytes. Proteomic analysis demonstrated that the most downregulated protein in the livers of the HF + res group was adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP), which is a major constituent of LDs and reflects lipid accumulation in cells. The HF + res group exhibited greatly increased numbers of CD68(+) Kupffer cells with phagocytic activity. Immunohistochemistry showed that several CD68(+) Kupffer cells were colocalized with ADFP immunoreaction in the HF + res group. Additionally, the HF + res group demonstrated markedly decreased TNF-alpha production, which confirmed by both liver mononuclear cells stimulated by LPS in vitro and in situ hybridization analysis, compared with the HF group.CONCLUSION:
Resveratrol ameliorated fatty liver and increased CD68-positive Kupffer cells with downregulating ADFP expression.Palabras clave
