This study found that hyperglycemia can trigger the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress-ATF6-CHOP signaling pathway, inhibit the activation of beta-catenin, and promote the formation of inflammation, leading to liver ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the use of endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor PBA or deficiency of CHOP can partially alleviate this injury.
Although hyperglycemia has been documented as an unfavorable element that can further induce liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), the related molecular mechanisms remain to be clearly elaborated. This study investigated the effective manner of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling in hyperglycemia-exacerbated liver IRI. Here we demonstrated that in the liver tissues and Kupffer cells (KCs) of DM patients and STZ-induced hyperglycemic mice, the ER stress-ATF6-CHOP signaling pathway is activated. TLR4-mediated pro-inflammatory activation was greatly attenuated by the addition of 4-phenylbutyrate (PBA), one common ER stress inhibitor. The liver IRI in hyperglycemic mice was also significantly reduced after PBA treatment. In addition, deficiency of CHOP (CHOP-/-) obviously alleviates the hepatic IRI, and pro-inflammatory effects deteriorated by hyperglycemia. In hyperglycemic mice, beta-catenin expression was suppressed while the ATF6-CHOP signal was activated. In the liver tissues of PBA-treated or CHOP-/- hyperglycemic mice, the expression of beta-catenin was restored. Furthermore, CHOP deficiency can induce protection against hyperglycemia-related liver IRI, which was disrupted by the knockdown of beta-catenin will cause this protection to disappear. High glucose (HG) treatment stimulated ATF6-CHOP signaling, reduced cellular beta-catenin accumulation, and promoted the TLR4-related inflammation of BMDMs. But the above effects were partially rescued in BMDMs with CHOP deficiency or by PBA treatment. In BMDMs cultured in HG conditions, the anti-inflammatory functions of CHOP-/- were destroyed by the knockdown of beta-catenin. Finally, chimeric mice carrying WT or CHOP-/- BMDMs by bone marrow transplantation were adopted to verify the above conclusion. The current study suggested that hyperglycemia could trigger ER stress-ATF6-CHOP axis, inhibit beta-catenin activation, accelerate inflammation, and deteriorate liver IRI, thus providing the treatment potential for management of sterile liver inflammation in DM patients.
