Fenofibrate-promoted hepatomegaly and liver regeneration are PPARα-dependent and partially related to the YAP pathway
Fenofibrate, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) agonist, is widely prescribed for hyperlipidemia management. Recent studies also showed that it has therapeutic potential in various liver diseases. However, its effects on hepatomegaly and liver regeneration and the involved mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the study showed that fenofibrate significantly promoted liver enlargement and regeneration post-partial hepatectomy in mice, which was dependent on hepatocyte-expressed PPARα. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is pivotal in manipulating liver growth and regeneration. We further identified that fenofibrate activated YAP signaling by suppressing its K48-linked ubiquitination, promoting its K63-linked ubiquitination, and enhancing the interaction and transcriptional activity of the YAP–TEAD complex. Pharmacological inhibition of YAP–TEAD interaction using verteporfin or suppression of YAP using AAV Yap shRNA in mice significantly attenuated fenofibrate-induced hepatomegaly. Other factors, such as MYC, KRT23, RAS, and RHOA, might also participate in fenofibrate-promoted hepatomegaly and liver regeneration. These studies demonstrate that fenofibrate-promoted liver enlargement and regeneration are PPARα-dependent and partially through activating the YAP signaling, with clinical implications of fenofibrate as a novel therapeutic agent for promoting liver regeneration.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association oversees the peer review process for Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica. B (APSB).
Published monthly in English, APSB is dedicated to disseminating significant original research articles, rapid communications, and high-quality reviews that highlight recent advances across various pharmaceutical sciences domains. These encompass pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, natural products, pharmacognosy, pharmaceutical analysis, and pharmacokinetics.
A part of the Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica series, established in 1953 and indexed in prominent databases like Chemical Abstracts, Index Medicus, SciFinder Scholar, Biological Abstracts, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, and Current Bibliography on Science and Technology, APSB is sponsored by the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association. Its production and hosting are facilitated by Elsevier B.V. This collaborative effort ensures APSB's commitment to delivering valuable contributions to the pharmaceutical sciences community.
