摘要
背景,最近的研究强调了resolvin D1 (RvD1),一种由二十二碳六烯酸衍生的特殊促溶解介质,对慢性肝脏疾病的有益作用,但其潜在机制尚不清楚。我们的研究旨在确定rvd1介导的细胞串扰在代谢功能障碍相关脂肪性肝炎(MASH)中的作用和机制。方法srvd1经实验性MASH灌胃,进行大鼠和单细胞RNA测序(scRNA-seq)分析。分离原代肝细胞,包括原代肝细胞、库普弗细胞(KCs)、T细胞和肝星状细胞(hsc)进行共培养实验,以阐明RvD1对细胞死亡、炎症和纤维化的影响。结果小鼠(n = 5 ~ 6, p <0.01)和人(n = 9 ~ 10, p <0.05)肝组织RvD1水平均降低。给予RvD1可减少MASH患者的肝细胞死亡、炎症和肝纤维化(n = 4-5, p <0.05)。机制上,RvD1通过抑制内质网(ER)应激降低肝细胞死亡。与原代肝细胞共培养实验表明,棕榈酸处理肝细胞的条件培养基激活了KCs、T细胞和hsc;然而,在rvd1预处理的肝细胞中,这些作用被消除。此外,RvD1直接抑制T细胞活化和IFNγ产生,导致KCs中Stat1-Cxcl10信号通路减少。结论srvd1通过减轻内质膜应激介导的凋亡,降低KCs、T细胞和hsc的活化,从而降低肝细胞死亡和DAMP的产生。这项研究强调了rvd1介导的不同肝细胞间的细胞串扰在MASH中的新作用。影响和影响smash是世界范围内日益增长的医疗保健负担。然而,目前对MASH及其后遗症的治疗仍然有限。最近的研究强调了包括RvD1在内的特殊促溶解介质(SPMs)在肝脏疾病中的治疗益处。然而,这些有益作用背后的机制尚不清楚。基于一系列共培养原代细胞实验和无偏倚转录组学分析,我们发现rvd1介导的肝细胞和非实质细胞之间的细胞串扰可以防止MASH进展。我们的研究为RvD1在MASH中的作用提供了新的机制见解,并强调了其治疗这种疾病的潜力。
Resolvin D1-mediated cellular crosstalk protects against MASH
Background & aims
Recent studies have highlighted the beneficial effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1), a docosahexaenoic acid-derived specialized pro-resolving mediator, on chronic liver diseases, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Our study aimed to determine the role and mechanism of RvD1-mediated cellular crosstalk in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Methods
RvD1 was administered to mice with experimental MASH, followed by bulk and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis. Primary liver cells, including primary hepatocytes, Kupffer cells (KCs), T cells, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), were isolated for co-culture experiments to elucidate the effect of RvD1 on cell death, inflammation, and fibrosis.
Results
Hepatic tissue levels of RvD1 were decreased in murine (n = 5–6, p <0.01) and human MASH (n = 9–10, p <0.05). Administering RvD1 reduced hepatocellular death, inflammation, and liver fibrosis in MASH (n = 4–5, p <0.05). Mechanistically, RvD1 reduced hepatocyte death by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Co-culture experiments with primary liver cells showed that conditioned media from palmitic acid-treated hepatocytes activated KCs, T cells, and HSCs; however, those effects were abolished from RvD1-pretreated hepatocytes. Moreover, RvD1 directly suppressed T cell activation and IFNγ production, leading to reduced Stat1-Cxcl10 signaling in KCs.
Conclusions
RvD1 reduced hepatocyte death and DAMP production by alleviating ER stress-mediated apoptosis, leading to decreased activation of KCs, T cells, and HSCs. This study highlights the novel role of RvD1-mediated cellular crosstalk among different liver cells in MASH.
Impact and implications
MASH is a growing healthcare burden worldwide. However, current treatments for MASH and its sequelae remain limited. Recent studies highlighted the therapeutic benefit of specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), including RvD1, in liver diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects are not well understood. Based on a series of co-culture primary cell experiments and unbiased transcriptomic analyses, we show that RvD1-mediated cellular crosstalk among hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells protects against MASH progression. Our study provides a new mechanistic insight into the role of RvD1 in MASH and highlights its therapeutic potential to treat this condition.
