RESUMEN

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common metabolic disease that is substantially associated with obesity-induced chronic inflammation. Macrophage activation and macrophage-medicated inflammation play crucial roles in the development and progression of NAFLD. Furthermore, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) has been shown to be essentially involved in macrophage activation. This study investigated the role of FGFR1 in the NAFLD pathogenesis and indicated that a high-fat diet (HFD) increased p-FGFR1 levels in the mouse liver, which is associated with increased macrophage infiltration. In addition, macrophage-specific FGFR1 knockout or administration of FGFR1 inhibitor markedly protected the liver from HFD-induced lipid accumulation, fibrosis, and inflammatory responses. The mechanistic study showed that macrophage-specific FGFR1 knockout alleviated HFD-induced liver inflammation by suppressing the activation of MAPKs and TNF signaling pathways and reduced fat deposition in hepatocytes, thereby inhibiting the activation of hepatic stellate cells. In conclusion, the results of this research revealed that FGFR1 could protect the liver of HFD-fed mice by inhibiting MAPKs/TNF-mediated inflammatory responses in macrophages. Therefore, FGFR1 can be employed as a target to prevent the development and progression of NAFLD.

RESUMEN

Activation of the innate immune system through toll-like receptors (TLRs) has been repeatedly demonstrated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and several TLRs have been shown to contribute. Myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88) is as an adapter protein for the activation of TLRs and bridges TLRs to NF-κB-mediated inflammation in macrophages. However, whether myeloid cell MyD88 contributes to NAFLD are largely unknown. To test this approach, we generated macrophage-specific MyD88 knockout mice and show that these mice are protected against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic injury, lipid accumulation, and fibrosis. These protective effects were associated with reduced macrophage numbers in liver tissues and surpassed inflammatory responses. In cultured macrophages, saturated fatty acid palmitate utilizes MyD88 to activate NF-κB and induce inflammatory and fibrogenic factors. In hepatocytes, these factors may cause lipid accumulation and a further elaboration of inflammatory cytokines. In hepatic stellate cells, macrophage-derived factors, especially TGF-ß, cause activation and hepatic fibrosis. We further show that pharmacological inhibition of MyD88 is also able to reduce NAFLD injury in HFD-fed mice. Therefore, our study has provided empirical evidence that macrophage MyD88 participates in HFD-induced NAFLD and could be targeted to prevent the development and progression of NAFLD/NASH.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most predominant form of liver diseases worldwide. Recent evidence shows that myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2), a protein in innate immunity and inflammation, regulates liver injury in models of NAFLD. Here, we investigated a new mechanism by which MD2 participates in the pathogenesis of experimental NAFLD. METHODS: Wild-type, Md2-/- and bone marrow reconstitution mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD) were used to identify the role of hepatocyte MD2 in NAFLD. Transcriptomic RNA-seq and pathway enrich analysis were performed to explore the potential mechanisms of MD2. In vitro, primary hepatocytes and macrophages were cultured for mechanistic studies. RESULTS: Transcriptome analysis and bone marrow reconstitution studies showed that hepatocyte MD2 may participate in regulating lipid metabolism in models with NAFLD. We then discovered that Md2 deficiency in mice prevents HFD-mediated suppression of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This preservation of AMPK in Md2-deficient mice was associated with normalized sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) transcriptional program and a lack of lipid accumulation in both hepatocytes and liver. We then showed that hepatocyte MD2 links HFD to AMPK/SREBP1 through TANK binding kinase 1 (TBK1). In addition, MD2-increased inflammatory factor from macrophages induces hepatic TBK1 activation and AMPK suppression. CONCLUSION: Hepatocyte MD2 plays a pathogenic role in NAFLD through TBK1-AMPK/SREBP1 and lipid metabolism pathway. These studies provide new insight into a non-inflammatory function of MD2 and evidence for the important role of MD2 in NALFD.
