Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based plasma fatty acids are objective biomarkers of many diseases. Herein, we aim to explore the associations of NMR-based plasma fatty acids with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and chronic liver disease (CLD) mortality in 252,398 UK Biobank participants. Here we show plasma levels of n-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and n-6 PUFA are negatively associated with the risk of incident HCC [HRQ4vsQ1: 0.48 (95% CI: 0.33-0.69) and 0.48 (95% CI: 0.28-0.81), respectively] and CLD mortality [HRQ4vsQ1: 0.21 (95% CI: 0.13-0.33) and 0.15 (95% CI: 0.08-0.30), respectively], whereas plasma levels of saturated fatty acids are positively associated with these outcomes [HRQ4vsQ1: 3.55 (95% CI: 2.25-5.61) for HCC and 6.34 (95% CI: 3.68-10.92) for CLD mortality]. Furthermore, fibrosis stage significantly modifies the associations between PUFA and CLD mortality. This study contributes to the limited prospective evidence on the associations between plasma-specific fatty acids and end-stage liver outcomes.

Li H, Liu Y, Zhou J, Liu S, Liu Y, Yang Y, Wang W, Che Y, Inam M, Guan L. The protective mechanism of a novel polysaccharide from Lactobacillus-fermented Nostoc commune Vauch. on attenuating cadmium-induced kidney injury in mice. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 226:1444-1454. [PMID: 36442563 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A novel polysaccharide (NCVP-F) from Lactobacillus-fermented Nostoc commune Vauch. was obtained to investigate its underlying mechanism in cadmium-induced kidney injury. Results indicated that in comparison with NCVP, NCVP-F with lower molecular weight of 365.369 kDa, exhibited higher mole percentage of Man and Glc-UA, whereas slightly lower mole percentage of other monosaccharides. NCVP-F is a α-pyran polysaccharide similar to NCVP. Meanwhile, NCVP-F can more effectively alleviate hepatorenal injury (ALT, AST, TG, BUN and SCr) and kidney tissue lesions in Cd-injured mice model by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, GSH and GSH-Px), inhibiting cytokines levels (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-18). In addition, NCVP-F effectively inhibited apoptosis proteins (Bax, cytochrome c, a-caspase-9 and a-caspase-3) and enhanced anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) probably via activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the Cd-injury kidney. Furthermore, 16S rRNA sequencing results indicated that NCVP-F better enriched Lachnospiraceae, reduced Muribaculaceae, Alloprevotella and Blautia to regulate Cd-induced gut microbiota disorders, which was probably down-regulated 7 pathways including apoptosis and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, and up-regulated 63 pathways, such as carbohydrate metabolism and lipid metabolism. This study suggested that applying functional NCVP-F prepared by biotransformation with low molecular weight might be more beneficial.

Plasma Fatty Acid Composition Is Associated with Histological Findings of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10102540. [PMID: 36289802 PMCID: PMC9599601 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10102540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The relationship between advanced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and plasma fatty acid composition remains unknown. We aimed to examine the plasma fatty acid composition in biopsy-confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and evaluate the relationship between histological findings and fatty acid composition. Overall, 235 patients (134 women) with NAFLD were enrolled. Comprehensive blood chemistry tests and histological examinations of liver samples were conducted. Multivariate analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, hemoglobin A1c, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and NAFLD Activity Score values showed that lower levels of arachidic, behenic, α-linolenic, eicosatetraenoic, docosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids and higher levels of mead acid were associated with fibrosis stage 3–4. Furthermore, higher lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid levels and monounsaturated fatty acids such as palmitoleic acid and oleic acid were significantly associated with high NAS in analyses adjusted for the same factors and fibrosis stage. The plasma fatty acid composition was associated with the histological evidence of NASH. Increased synthesis of fatty acids is associated with NASH; insufficient intake of n-3 essential fatty acids and reduced elongation of fatty acids are associated with fibrosis in NASH. These features may help clinicians to understand and treat advanced NASH cases.
