In this study, we investigated whether RIG-I is involved in hepatic metabolic reprogramming in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced MASLD model in hepatocyte-specific RIG-I-KO (RIG-I<sup>∆hep</sup>) mice. Our study revealed that hepatic deficiency of RIG-I improved HFD-induced metabolic imbalances, including glucose impairment and insulin resistance. Hepatic steatosis and liver triglyceride levels were reduced in RIG-I-deficient hepatocytes in HFD-induced MASLD mice, and this was accompanied by the reduced expression of lipogenesis genes, such as PPARγ, Dga2, and Pck1. Hepatic RIG-I deficiency alters whole-body metabolic rates in the HFD-induced MASLD model; there is higher energy consumption in RIG-I<sup>∆hep</sup> mice. Deletion of RIG-I activated glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle-related metabolites in hepatocytes from both HFD-induced MASLD mice and methionine-choline-deficient diet (MCD)-fed mice. RIG-I deficiency enhanced AMPK activation and mitochondrial function in hepatocytes from HFD-induced MASLD mice. These findings indicate that deletion of RIG-I can activate cellular metabolism in hepatocytes by switching on both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration, resulting in metabolic changes induced by a HFD and stimulation of mitochondrial activity. In summary, RIG-I may be a key regulator of cellular metabolism that influences the development of metabolic diseases such as MASLD.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s43188-024-00264-x.</p>","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11436585/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142354455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vascular endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells within blood vessels, is a primary target of Mn toxicity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of Mn on vascular endothelium, focusing on both peripheral and brain endothelial cells. In vitro studies have demonstrated that high concentrations of Mn can induce endothelial cell cytotoxicity, increase permeability, and disrupt cell-cell junctions through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and activation of signaling pathways, such as Smad2/3-Snail. Conversely, low concentrations of Mn may protect endothelial cells from the deleterious effects of high glucose and advanced glycation end-products. In the central nervous system, Mn can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and accumulate in the brain parenchyma, leading to neurotoxicity. Several transport mechanisms, including ZIP8, ZIP14, and SPCA1, have been identified for Mn uptake by brain endothelial cells. Mn exposure can impair BBB integrity by disrupting tight junctions and increasing permeability. In vivo studies have corroborated these findings, highlighting the importance of endothelial barriers in mediating Mn toxicity in the brain and kidneys. Maintaining optimal Mn homeostasis is crucial for preserving endothelial function, and further research is needed to develop targeted therapeutic strategies to prevent or mitigate the adverse effects of Mn overexposure.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p>","PeriodicalId":23181,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11436708/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142354458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, data from the FAERS from January 2020 to December 2022 were used to investigate signals associated with five monoclonal antibody products (bamlanivimab, bamlanivimab/etesevimab, bebtelovimab, casirivimab/imdevimab, sotrovimab) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and one monoclonal antibody product (tixagevimab/cilgavimab) in patients wherein COVID-19 vaccination was not recommended.

The three most commonly detected IMEs were hypoxia, COVID-19 pneumonia, and anaphylactic reaction due to SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies.
