Caveolin-1 ameliorates acetaminophen-aggravated inflammatory damage and lipid deposition in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway

Xiangfu Jiang et al.

Summary: The overuse of acetaminophen (APAP) may cause more severe hepatotoxicity in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Caveolin-1 (CAV1) can alleviate liver damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). The NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis and the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway play important roles in the development of NAFLD.

Discovery and development of palmatine analogues as anti-NASH agents by activating farnesoid X receptor (FXR)

Na Zhang et al.

Summary: Sixty-one palmatine derivatives, including twenty-eight new compounds, were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-fibrogenic activities. One compound showed the highest potency and reduced the expressions of fibrogenic biomarkers in a dose-dependent manner. It also significantly attenuated liver fibrosis in a NASH mice model by activating FXR. These findings suggest that palmatine derivatives have potential as non-steroidal FXR agonists for NASH treatment.

Elafibranor modulates ileal macrophage polarization to restore intestinal integrity in NASH: Potential crosstalk between ileal IL-10/STAT3 and hepatic TLR4/NF-ΚB axes

Andrew N. Hakeem et al.

Summary: Experimental and clinical evidence suggest that disrupted gut barrier integrity plays a role in the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) by activating innate immune responses, particularly macrophages. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), a subset of nuclear receptors, regulate metabolic and inflammatory processes involved in NASH. This study investigated the impact of dual PPAR alpha/delta activation with elafibranor (ELA) on macrophage polarization (MP) in the ileum and its effects on the liver in a NASH setting.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide attenuates chronic liver disease-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in diabetic mice

Satoshi Iwai et al.

Summary: A recent study has found that the GLP-1RA medication semaglutide has therapeutic effects on skeletal muscle atrophy in type 2 diabetes patients. The experiment showed that semaglutide effectively inhibits muscle atrophy, improves grip strength, and prevents muscle protein degradation and promotes myogenesis. Mechanistically, semaglutide protects against hepatic injury, reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, activates metabolic processes, and directly stimulates GLP-1R in myocytes.

Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 triggers neurotoxicity via cholesterol accumulation, acetylcholine dyshomeostasis, and PKCe mislocalization in cholinergic neuronal cells

Rebecca Piccarducci et al.

Summary: The ApoE epsilon 4 polymorphic variant is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) due to its effects on cholesterol metabolism and cholinergic pathway impairment. In this study, in vitro cholinergic neuron models were used to investigate the interplay between ApoE epsilon 4-related cholesterol metabolism dysregulation and cholinergic system degeneration. The results showed that ApoE epsilon 4 expression led to intracellular cholesterol accumulation and reduced acetylcholine synthesis, resulting in cholinergic pathway impairment and neuronal death.

Structural basis of the farnesoid X receptor/retinoid X receptor heterodimer on inverted repeat DNA

Longying Jiang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of FXR binding to DNA elements and the heterodimer interactions in the FXR-DBD/RXR-DBD complex through structural, biochemical and bioinformatics analyses. Further biochemical assays showed that RAR, THR, and NR4A2 do not form heterodimers with RXR when bound to the IR1 sites, indicating that IR1 may be a unique binding site for the FXR/RXR heterodimer. These studies could provide a better understanding of dimerization specificity of nuclear receptors.

Inhibition of Fatty Acid Translocase (FAT/CD36) Palmitoylation Enhances Hepatic Fatty Acid β-Oxidation by Increasing Its Localization to Mitochondria and Interaction with Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase 1

Shu Zeng et al.

Summary: In this study, we found that inhibiting the palmitoylation of FAT/CD36 promotes its localization to the mitochondria of hepatocytes, thereby alleviating NAFLD. Mitochondrial FAT/CD36 acts as a molecular bridge between LCFAs and ACSL1, increasing the production of long-chain acyl-CoA and promoting FAO, thus preventing lipid accumulation and excessive ROS production in hepatocytes.

Regulation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome by Posttranslational Modifications

Safoura Zangiabadi et al.

Summary: Inflammasomes play a crucial role in human health and disease by controlling the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18, two potent proinflammatory cytokines. Among the inflammasomes, NLRP3 inflammasome is the most well-studied and can be activated by various inducers. Aberrant activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes is implicated in numerous human diseases. This review focuses on the posttranslational modifications that regulate the components of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Wenjing Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that CSE protein expression is significantly downregulated in the liver of NAFLD patients, and the CSE/H2S pathway is also downregulated. Feeding an HFD to CSE knockout mice resulted in increased hepatic lipid deposition and insulin resistance, which could be attenuated by H2S donor treatment. Furthermore, CSE/H2S was found to promote sulfhydration modification of FXR, enhancing its activity in regulating target gene expression.

Early biochemical observations point to nutritional strategies to manage non-alcoholic fatty liver disease Comment

Philip C. Calder

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most prevalent liver disease globally, is influenced by inflammation and oxidative stress. Two papers published in 2004 investigated fatty acids and oxidative stress markers in the livers of NAFLD patients and concluded that low levels of n 3 PUFAs are associated with NAFLD. Moreover, several studies have explored the potential role of supplemental n 3 PUFAs or antioxidants in the treatment of NAFLD.

Summary: High doses of cadmium exposure lead to irreversible damage to the testicular tissue, mainly through the activation of pyroptosis pathway. The exposure of Cd significantly decreases testosterone levels, sperm concentration and sperm motility, while increasing LDH and IL-1 beta levels. The transcriptome analysis shows that Cd exposure induces inflammatory and chemokine signaling pathways in the testicular tissue.

Summary: Glucocorticoids play an essential role in lipid metabolism, and the enzyme 11 beta-HSD1 is crucial for regulating glucocorticoid signaling. This study used cell culture and mouse models to show that overexpression of 11 beta-HSD1 activates glucocorticoid receptors and promotes lipid synthesis through a specific pathway, leading to lipid accumulation. These findings suggest that targeting this pathway could be a potential diagnostic and therapeutic approach for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

N6-Methyladenosine Reader Protein YT521-B Homology Domain-Containing 2 Suppresses Liver Steatosis by Regulation of mRNA Stability of Lipogenic Genes

Bing Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that m(6)A enrichment and mRNA expression of lipogenic genes were increased in leptin-receptor-deficient mice. The m(6)A reader, Ythdc2, was down-regulated in obese mice and NAFLD patients, and its suppression in lean mice led to TG accumulation while overexpression in obese mice improved liver steatosis and insulin resistance. This suggests that Ythdc2 plays a crucial role in regulating hepatic lipogenesis and TG homeostasis, presenting a potential target for treating obesity-related NAFLD.
