Abstract
Our study investigated the effects of food contaminant 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP) on hepatic lipid metabolism and its mechanism. We found that triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and the number of lipid droplets (LDs) were increased in the liver of C57BL/6 mice given intragastric administration of 1,3-DCP for 30 days. Meanwhile, 1,3-DCP inhibited autophagosomes and lysosomes formation, reflected by decreased LC3-II, LAMP1, LAMP2, CTSD, CTSB expression, increased p62 expression and decreased LC3 fluorescence. Subsequently, we detected the changes of hepatic lipid accumulation caused by 1,3-DCP using an autophagy inducer or inhibitor. In vivo, Hepatic lipid accumulation caused by 1,3-DCP was mitigated by the autophagy inducer Rapa. On the contrary, the autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine or 3-methyladenine) further exacerbated hepatic lipid accumulation caused by 1,3-DCP. 1,3-DCP reduced the number of autophagosomes encapsulated LDs, assessed by colocalization of LD and LC3. These data demonstrated that 1,3-DCP induced lipid accumulation by inhibiting autophagy. We further investigated the mechanism of 1,3-DCP-inhibited autophagy and found 1,3-DCP increased the ratios of p-AKT/AKT, p-mTOR/mTOR, p-FOXO1/FOXO1, decreased FOXO1 nuclear localization in vivo. These proteins may be involved in the regulation of 1,3-DCP-mediated autophagy. We detected the changes in autophagy marker protein LC3-II and lipid accumulation using an AKT inhibitor ARQ-092 or a mTOR inhibitor rapamycin in HepG2 cells. Compared with 1,3-DCP group, lipid accumulation was decreased, LC3-II and FOXO1 nuclear localization were increased, p-FOXO1 levels were decreased in HepG2 cells pretreated with ARQ-092 or rapamycin. Taken together, these data revealed that the effects of 1,3-DCP on lipid accumulation by inhibiting autophagy were dependent on AKT/mTOR/FOXO1 signaling pathway. Our study not only supplied the mechanism of 1,3-DCP toxicity, but also provided experimental basis for effective intervention measures of 1,3-DCP toxicity.

Abstract
1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (1,3-DCP) is a food born hepatoxic chloropropanol contaminant that has been detected in a wide range of foods. In the present study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of 1,3-DCP on lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. The data showed 1,3-DCP significantly increased intracellular content of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) at 0.5-2μg/mL. Further results showed that 1,3-DCP greatly decreased cyclic AMP (cAMP) level. In addition, 1,3-DCP inhibited PKA and AMPK signaling pathway, but had no influence on intracellular calcium and regulated proteins. Moreover, Gi/o protein inhibitor PTX significantly inhibited 1,3-DCP induced decrease of cAMP, p-PKA and p-AMPK expression. Furthermore, 1,3-DCP significantly decreased GPR41 and GPR43 expression, but had no effect on GPR109B.Thus, we concluded that 1,3-DCP induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells through cAMP/PKA and AMPK signaling pathways via Gi/o-coupled receptor.
