Abstract
Objective: Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) exposure induces lipid metabolism disorders in the liver. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5) is a natural antagonist of winglesstype MMTV integration site family, member 5A (Wnt5a) and an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether MC-LR can induce lipid metabolism disorders in hepatocytes and whether SFRP5, which has anti-inflammatory effects, can alleviate the effects of hepatic lipid metabolism by inhibiting the Wnt5a/Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway.
Methods: We exposed mice to MC-LR in vivo to induce liver lipid metabolism disorders. Subsequently, mouse hepatocytes that overexpressed SFRP5 or did not express SFRP5 were exposed to MC-LR, and the effects of SFRP5 overexpression on inflammation and Wnt5a/JNK activation by MC-LR were observed.
Results: MC-LR exposure induced liver lipid metabolism disorders in mice and significantly decreased SFRP5 mRNA and protein levels in a concentration-dependent manner. SFRP5 overexpression in AML12 cells suppressed MC-LR-induced inflammation. Overexpression of SFRP5 also inhibited Wnt5a and phosphorylation of JNK.
Conclusion: MC-LR can induce lipid metabolism disorders in mice, and SFRP5 can attenuate lipid metabolism disorders in the mouse liver by inhibiting Wnt5a/JNK signaling.
