Abstract
Deregulation of mitochondrial functions in hepatocytes contributes to many liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Lately, it was referred to as MAFLD (metabolism-associated fatty liver disease). Hesperetin (Hst), a bioactive flavonoid constituent of citrus fruit, has been proven to attenuate NAFLD. However, a potential connection between its preventive activities and the modulation of mitochondrial functions remains unclear. Here, our results showed that Hst alleviates palmitic acid (PA)-triggered NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell death by inhibition of mitochondrial impairment in HepG2 cells. Hst reinstates fatty acid oxidation (FAO) rates measured by seahorse extracellular flux analyzer and intracellular acetyl-CoA levels as well as intracellular tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites levels including NADH and FADH2 reduced by PA exposure. In addition, Hst protects HepG2 cells against PA-induced abnormal energetic profile, ATP generation reduction, overproduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, and collapsed mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, Hst improves the protein expression involved in PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Our results demonstrate that it restores PA-impaired mitochondrial function and sustains cellular homeostasis due to the elevation of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy and the subsequent disposal of dysfunctional mitochondria. These results provide therapeutic potential for Hst utilization as an effective intervention against fatty liver disease.

TIR8 protects against nonalcoholic steatohepatitis by antagonizing lipotoxicity-induced PPARα downregulation and reducing the sensitivity of hepatocytes to LPS. Transl Res 2024; 272:68-80.

Abstract
In up to one-third of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, simple steatosis progresses to its more severe form, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), but the precise mechanisms underlying this transition are not fully understood. Toll/interleukin-1 receptor 8 (TIR8), a conventional innate immune regulator highly expressed in hepatic tissue, has shown potential for ameliorating various inflammation-related disorders. However, its role in NASH pathogenesis, especially its regulatory effects on lipid metabolism and inflammatory responses, is still unclear. Here, using a TIR8 knockout (TIR8KO) mouse model and mass spectrometry analyses, we found that TIR8KO mice displayed aggravated hepatic steatosis and inflammation, whereas TIR8 overexpression attenuated these adverse effects. Ectopic TIR8 expression counteracts free fatty acid (FFA)-induced PPARα inhibition and downstream signaling. A decrease in TIR8 levels in hepatocytes heightened lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensitivity. Notably, FFA stimulation led to a direct interaction between TIR8 and proteasome subunit alpha type 4 (PSMA4), facilitating TIR8 degradation. These results revealed that TIR8 safeguards PPARα-regulated lipid metabolism and mitigates inflammation induced by external factors during NASH progression. Our study highlights TIR8 as a promising target for NASH therapy, indicating the potential of TIR8 agonists in treatment strategies.

Abstract
The Sirtuins family, formally known as the Silent Information Regulator Factors, constitutes a highly conserved group of histone deacetylases. Recent studies have illuminated SIRT6's role in doxorubicin (DOX)-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis within myocardial cells. Nevertheless, the extent of SIRT6's impact on DOX-triggered myocardial cell aging and damage remains uncertain, with the associated mechanisms yet to be fully understood. In our research, we examined the influence of SIRT6 on DOX-induced cardiomyocyte senescence using β-galactosidase and γ-H2AX staining. Additionally, we gauged the mRNA expression of senescence-associated genes, namely p16, p21, and p53, through Real-time PCR. Employing ELISA assay kits, MDA, and total SOD activity assay kits, we measured inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, alongside oxidative stress-related indicators. The results unequivocally indicated that SIRT6 overexpression robustly inhibited DOX-induced cardiomyocyte senescence. Furthermore, we established that SIRT6 overexpression suppressed the inflammatory response and oxidative stress induced by DOX in cardiomyocytes. Conversely, silencing SIRT6 exacerbated DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury. Our investigations further unveiled that SIRT6 upregulated the expression of genes CD36, CPT1, LCAD, MCAD associated with fatty acid oxidation through its interaction with PPARα, thereby exerting anti-aging effects. In vivo, the overexpression of SIRT6 was observed to restore DOX-induced declines in EF and FS to normal levels in mice. Echocardiography and HE staining revealed the restoration of cardiomyocyte alignment, affording protection against DOX-induced myocardial senescence and injury. The findings from this study suggest that SIRT6 holds significant promise as a therapeutic target for mitigating DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has been developed as a potential therapeutic agent for metabolic syndromes. Moreover, FGF21 is considered a pro-longevity hormone because transgenic mice overexpressing FGF21 display extended lifespan, raising the possibility of using FGF21 to promote healthy aging. We recently showed that visceral fat directed FGF21 gene therapy improves metabolic and immune health in insulin resistant BTBR mice. Here, we used a fat directed rAAV-FGF21 vector in 17-month-old female mice to investigate whether long-term FGF21 gene transfer could mitigate aging-related functional decline. Animals with FGF21 treatment displayed a steady, significant lower body weight over 7-month of the study compared to age-matched control mice. FGF21 treatment reduced adiposity and increased relative lean mass and energy expenditure associated with almost 100 folds higher serum level of FGF21. However, those changes were not translated into benefits on muscle function and did not affect metabolic function of liver. Overall, we have demonstrated that a single dose of fat-directed AAV-FGF21 treatment can provide a sustainable, high serum level of FGF21 over long period of time, and mostly influences adipose tissue homeostasis and energy expenditure. High levels of FGF21 alone in aged mice is not sufficient to improve liver or muscle functions.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a disturbance in the regulation of the metabolic function of the liver, which increases the risk of liver and systemic diseases. Trehalose, a natural disaccharide, has been identified to reduce dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and glucose intolerance. However, the roles of trehalose on lipid metabolism in aged liver are unclear which was investigated in this study. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n = 8). Two groups of aged (24 months) and young (4 months) rats were administered 2% trehalose solution orally for 30 days. Control groups of aged and young rats did not receive any treatment. At the end of the treatment period, blood samples and liver tissues were collected. Then the expression of SIRT1, AMPK, SREBP-1c, and PPAR-α and the level of AMPK phosphorylation (p-AMPK) were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Moreover, biochemical parameters and the histopathology of livers were evaluated. Trehalose supplementation increased the level of SIRT1, p-AMPK, and PPAR-α, whereas the level of SREBP-1c was diminished in the liver of old animals. In addition, treatment with trehalose improved histopathological features of senescent livers. Taken together, our results show that old rats developed lipogenesis in the liver which was alleviated with trehalose. Therefore, trehalose may be an effective intervention to reduce the progression of aging-induced liver diseases.

Abstract
Fatty acid oxidation (FAO), primarily known as β-oxidation, plays a crucial role in breaking down fatty acids within mitochondria and peroxisomes to produce cellular energy and preventing metabolic dysfunction. Myeloid cells, including macrophages, microglia, and monocytes, rely on FAO to perform essential cellular functions and uphold tissue homeostasis. As individuals age, these cells show signs of inflammaging, a condition that includes a chronic onset of low-grade inflammation and a decline in metabolic function. These lead to changes in fatty acid metabolism and a decline in FAO pathways. Recent studies have shed light on metabolic shifts occurring in macrophages and monocytes during aging, correlating with an altered tissue environment and the onset of inflammaging. This review aims to provide insights into the connection of inflammatory pathways and altered FAO in macrophages and monocytes from older organisms. We describe a model in which there is an extended activation of receptor for advanced glycation end products, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome within macrophages and monocytes. This leads to an increased level of glycolysis, and also promotes pro-inflammatory cytokine production and signaling. As a result, FAO-related enzymes such as 5' AMP-activated protein kinase and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α are reduced, adding to the escalation of inflammation, accumulation of lipids, and heightened cellular stress. We examine the existing body of literature focused on changes in FAO signaling within macrophages and monocytes and their contribution to the process of inflammaging.

Mol Metab 2023; 76:101784.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alterations in lipid metabolism are associated with aging and age-related diseases. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosome-dependent process involved in specific protein degradation. Heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (Hsc70) recognizes cytosolic proteins with KFERQ motif and allows them to enter the lysosome via lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2 isoform A (LAMP2A). CMA deficiency is associated with dysregulated lipid metabolism in the liver. In this study, we examined the effect of CMA on lipid metabolism in the aged liver. METHODS 12-week-old and 88-week-old mice were employed to assess the effect of aging on hepatic CMA activity. We generated CMA-deficient mouse primary hepatocytes using siRNA for Lamp2a and liver-specific LAMP2A knockdown mice via adeno-associated viruses expressing short hairpin RNAs to investigate the influence of CMA on lipid metabolism. RESULTS We noted aging-induced progression toward fatty liver and a decrease in LAMP2A levels in total protein and lysosomes. The expression of genes associated with fatty acid oxidation was markedly downregulated in the aged liver, as verified in CMA-deficient mouse primary hepatocytes. In addition, the aged liver accumulated nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1), a negative regulator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). We found that Hsc70 binds to NCoR1 via the KFERQ motif. Lamp2a siRNA treatment accumulated NCoR1 and decreased the fatty acid oxidation rate. Pharmacological activation of CMA by AR7 treatment increased LAMP2A expression, leading to NCoR1 degradation. A liver-specific LAMP2A knockdown via adeno-associated viruses expressing short hairpin RNAs caused NCoR1 accumulation, inactivated PPARα, downregulated the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes and significantly increased liver triglyceride levels. CONCLUSIONS Our results elucidated a novel PPARα regulatory mechanism involving CMA-mediated NCoR1 degradation during aging. These findings demonstrate that CMA dysregulation is crucial for the progression of aging-related fatty liver diseases.

Abstract
Senescence is an inevitable biological process. Disturbances in glucose and lipid metabolism are essential features of cellular senescence. Given the important roles of these types of metabolism, we review the evidence for how key metabolic enzymes influence senescence and how senescence-related secretory phenotypes, autophagy, apoptosis, insulin signaling pathways, and environmental factors modulate glucose and lipid homeostasis. We also discuss the metabolic alterations in abnormal senescence diseases and anti-cancer therapies that target senescence through metabolic interventions. Our work offers insights for developing pharmacological strategies to combat senescence and cancer.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism plays crucial roles in cellular processes such as hormone synthesis, energy production, and fat storage. Older adults are at risk of the dysregulation of lipid metabolism, which is associated with progressive declines in the physiological function of various organs. With advancing age, digestion and absorption commonly change, thereby resulting in decreased nutrient uptake. However, in the elderly population, the accumulation of excess fat becomes more pronounced due to a decline in the body's capacity to utilize lipids effectively. This is characterized by enhanced adipocyte synthesis and reduced breakdown, along with diminished peripheral tissue utilization capacity. Excessive lipid accumulation in the body, which manifests as hyperlipidemia and accumulated visceral fat, is linked to several chronic lipid-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This review provides a summary of the altered lipid metabolism during aging, including lipid digestion, absorption, anabolism, and catabolism, as well as their associations with age-related chronic diseases, which aids in developing nutritional interventions for older adults to prevent or alleviate age-related chronic diseases.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a worryingly increasing cause of malignancy-related mortality, while Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD) is going to become its most common cause in the next decade. Understanding the complex underlying pathophysiology of MAFLD-related HCC can provide opportunities for successful targeted therapies. Of particular interest in this sequela of hepatopathology is cellular senescence, a complex process characterised by cellular cycle arrest initiated by a variety of endogenous and exogenous cell stressors. A key biological process in establishing and maintaining senescence is oxidative stress, which is present in multiple cellular compartments of steatotic hepatocytes. Oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence can change hepatocyte function and metabolism, and alter, in a paracrine manner, the hepatic microenvironment, enabling disease progression from simple steatosis to inflammation and fibrosis, as well as HCC. The duration of senescence and the cell types it affects can tilt the scale from a tumour-protective self-restricting phenotype to the creator of an oncogenic hepatic milieu. A deeper understanding of the mechanism of the disease can guide the selection of the most appropriate senotherapeutic agent, as well as the optimal timing and cell type targeting for effectively combating HCC.

Abstract
Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related changes, (ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a pathological status. Although a broad spectrum of aging biomarkers has been developed, their potential uses and limitations remain poorly characterized. An immediate goal of biomarkers is to help us answer the following three fundamental questions in aging research: How old are we? Why do we get old? And how can we age slower? This review aims to address this need. Here, we summarize our current knowledge of biomarkers developed for cellular, organ, and organismal levels of aging, comprising six pillars: physiological characteristics, medical imaging, histological features, cellular alterations, molecular changes, and secretory factors. To fulfill all these requisites, we propose that aging biomarkers should qualify for being specific, systemic, and clinically relevant.

Early-onset caloric restriction alleviates ageing-associated steatohepatitis in male mice via restoring mitochondrial homeostasis. Biogerontology 2023; 24:391-401.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with ageing, and impaired mitochondrial homeostasis is the main cause for hepatic ageing. Caloric restriction (CR) is a promising therapeutic approach for fatty liver. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of early-onset CR in decelerating the progression of ageing-related steatohepatitis. The putative mechanism associated with mitochondria was further determined. C57BL/6 male mice at 8 weeks of age were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: Young-AL (AL, ad libitum), Aged-AL, or Aged-CR (60% intake of AL). Mice were sacrificed when they were 7 months old (Young) or 20 months old (Aged). Aged-AL mice displayed the greatest body weight, liver weight, and liver relative weight among treatments. Steatosis, lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and fibrosis coexisted in the aged liver. Mega mitochondria with short, randomly organized crista were noticed in the aged liver. The CR ameliorated these unfavourable outcomes. The level of hepatic ATP decreased with ageing, but this was reversed by CR. Ageing caused a decrease in mitochondrial-related protein expressions of respiratory chain complexes (NDUFB8 and SDHB) and fission (DRP1), but an increase in proteins related to mitochondrial biogenesis (TFAM), and fusion (MFN2). CR reversed the expression of these proteins in the aged liver. Both Aged-CR and Young-AL revealed a comparable pattern of protein expression. To summarize, this study demonstrated the potential of early-onset CR in preventing ageing-associated steatohepatitis, and maintaining mitochondrial functions may contribute to CR's protection during hepatic ageing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aged kidney is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and fibrogenesis. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays an important role in the initiation of kidney aging. However, the inhibiting strategies have not been discovered in detail. Here, we compared the therapeutic effects of two β-catenin inhibitors, KYA1797K and ICG-001, to assess their superiority. METHODS Two-month-old male C57BL/6 mice which had undergone unilateral nephrectomy and received D-galactose (D-gal) injection were co-treated with KYA1797K or ICG-001 at 10 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks. Human proximal renal tubular cells were treated with D-gal and KYA1797K/ICG-001 to compare their effects. RESULTS Compared with ICG-001, which inhibits β-catenin pathway through blocking the binding of β-catenin and cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP), KYA1797K, a novel small molecule destabilizing β-catenin through activating Axin-GSK3β complex, possesses the superior effects on protecting against kidney aging. In D-gal-treated accelerated aging mice, KYA1797K could greatly inhibit β-catenin pathway, preserve mitochondrial homeostasis, repress cellular senescence, and retard age-related kidney fibrosis. In cultured proximal tubular cells, KYA1797K shows a better effect on inhibiting cellular senescence and could better suppress mitochondrial dysfunction and ameliorate the fibrotic changes, at the same dose as that in ICG-001. CONCLUSION These results show that effectively eliminating β-catenin is a necessity to target against age-related kidney injury, suggesting the multiple transcriptional regulation of β-catenin in kidney aging besides T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor family of transcription factors (TCF/LEF-1).

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent and slow progressing hepatic pathology characterized by different stages of increasing severity which can ultimately give rise to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Besides drastic lifestyle changes, few drugs are effective to some extent alleviate NAFLD and HCC remains a poorly curable cancer. Among the deregulated molecular mechanisms promoting NAFLD and HCC, several members of the S100 proteins family appear to play an important role in the development of hepatic steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and HCC. Specific members of this Ca2+-binding protein family are indeed significantly overexpressed in either parenchymal or non-parenchymal liver cells, where they exert pleiotropic pathological functions driving NAFLD/NASH to severe stages and/or cancer development. The aberrant activity of S100 specific isoforms has also been reported to drive malignancy in liver cancers. Herein, we discuss the implication of several key members of this family, e.g., S100A4, S100A6, S100A8, S100A9 and S100A11, in NAFLD and HCC, with a particular focus on their intracellular versus extracellular functions in different hepatic cell types. Their clinical relevance as non-invasive diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers for the different stages of NAFLD and HCC, or their pharmacological targeting for therapeutic purpose, is further debated.

Loss of RAGE prevents chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease via blockade of NF-кB pathway. Gene Ther 2022; 30:278-287.

Abstract
In recent years, receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) has been documented to induce liver fibrosis and inflammatory reaction. Further, microarray data analysis of this study predicted high expression of RAGE in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, its specific mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Hence, this study is aimed at investigating the mechanistic insights of RAGE in chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)-induced NAFLD. ApoE knockout (ApoE-/-) mice were exposed to CIH to induce NAFLD, and primary hepatocytes were also exposed to CIH to mimic in vitro setting. Accordingly, we found that RAGE and NF-κB were upregulated in the liver tissues of CIH-induced NAFLD mice and CIH-exposed hepatocytes. Depleted RAGE attenuated CIH-induced hepatocyte injury, lipid deposition, and inflammation. The relationship between RAGE and NF-κB was analyzed by in silico analysis and correlation analysis. It was demonstrated that knockdown of RAGE inhibited the NF-кB pathway, thus alleviating CIH-induced disorders in hepatocytes. Moreover, in vivo experiments also verified that depletion of RAGE alleviated CIH-induced NAFLD by inhibiting NF-кB pathway. Collectively, loss of RAGE blocked the NF-кB pathway to alleviate CIH-induced NAFLD, therefore, highlighting a potential hepatoprotective target for treating NAFLD.

Abstract
Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are on the rise world-wide; despite fervent advocacy for healthier diets and enhanced physical activity, these disorders persist unabated and, long-term, are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Numerous fundamental biochemical and molecular pathways participate in these events at incipient, mid- and advanced stages during atherogenesis and impaired regression of established atherosclerosis. It is proposed that upon the consumption of high fat/high sugar diets, the production of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) ligands, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), contribute to the development of foam cells, endothelial injury, vascular inflammation, and, ultimately, atherosclerosis and its consequences. RAGE/Diaphanous-1 (DIAPH1) increases macrophage foam cell formation; decreases cholesterol efflux and causes foam cells to produce and release damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) molecules, which are also ligands of RAGE. DAMPs stimulate upregulation of Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (IRF7) in macrophages, which exacerbates vascular inflammation and further perturbs cholesterol metabolism. Obesity and NAFLD, characterized by the upregulation of AGEs, ALEs and DAMPs in the target tissues, contribute to insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and type two diabetes. Once in motion, a vicious cycle of RAGE ligand production and exacerbation of RAGE/DIAPH1 signaling ensues, which, if left unchecked, augments cardiometabolic disease and its consequences. This Review focuses on RAGE/DIAPH1 and its role in perturbation of metabolism and processes that converge to augur cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used and potent anti-neoplastic agent, but severe and inescapable side effects in multiple normal tissues and organs limit its application, especially nephrotoxicity. Molecular mechanisms of cisplatin nephrotoxicity involve mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, apoptosis, necroptosis, etc. Receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a multiligand pattern recognition receptor, engaged in inflammatory signaling and mitochondrial homeostasis. Whether inhibition of RAGE alleviates cisplatin-induced nephropathy has not been investigated. Here, we revealed that RAGE deficiency attenuates cisplatin-induced acute nephrotoxicity, as evidenced by reduced apoptosis, inflammation, lipid accumulation, restored mitochondrial homeostasis and fatty acid oxidation in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs). In vitro studies showed that, the RAGE-specific inhibitor FPS-ZM1 attenuated the cisplatin-induced decrease of cell viability and fatty acid oxidation in the normal rat renal TEC line NRK-52E cells. Taken together, RAGE knockout mitigated cisplatin-induced acute nephrotoxicity by inhibiting apoptosis, inflammation, and restoring fatty acid oxidation in TECs, suggesting that RAGE inhibition could be a therapeutic option for cisplatin-induced acute nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by disturbed lipid metabolism and increased oxidative stress. These conditions lead to the activation of different cellular response mechanisms, including senescence. Cellular senescence constitutes an important response to injury in the liver. Recent findings show that chronic oxidative stress can induce senescence, and this might be a driving mechanism for NAFLD progression, aggravating the disturbance of lipid metabolism, organelle dysfunction, pro-inflammatory response and hepatocellular damage. In this context, the modulation of cellular senescence can be beneficial to ameliorate oxidative stress-related damage during NAFLD progression. This review focuses on the role of oxidative stress and senescence in the mechanisms leading to NAFLD and discusses the possibilities to modulate senescence as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
The metabolic disorders are becoming an epidemic disease endangering public health in countries. Environmental factors are mainly reason for the growth of metabolic disorders. Previous research suggests that DNA methylation is a potential mechanism. Recently, it has been reported that DNA hydroxymethylation is also a stable marker of epigenetic reprogramming. Hence, the study aims to investigate whether DNA hydroxymehylation mediates early-life environmental stress-evoked metabolic disorder in adulthood. Mice were orally administered with arsenic (As), an environmental stressor, throughout pregnancy. We show that early-life As exposure induces glucose intolerance and hepatic lipid accumulation in adulthood. Early-life As exposure alters epigenetic reprogramming and expression of lipid metabolism-related genes including β-oxidation-specific genes in adulthood. Of interest, early-life As exposure alters epigenetic reprogramming of hepatic lipid metabolism partially through reducing DNA hydroxymethylation modification of β-oxidation-related genes in developing liver. Mechanistically, early-life As exposure suppresses ten-eleven translocation (TET) activity through downregulating isocitrate dehydrogenases (Idh) and reducing alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) content in the developing liver. In addition, early-life As exposure inhibits TET1 binding to CpG-rich fragments of β-oxidation-related genes in developing liver. This study provide novel evidence that early-life environmental stress leads to later life metabolic disorders by altering hepatic DNA hydroxymethylation reprogramming.

Li H, Liu NN, Li JR, Dong B, Wang MX, Tan JL, Wang XK, Jiang J, Lei L, Li HY, Sun H, Jiang JD, Peng ZG. Combined Use of Bicyclol and Berberine Alleviates Mouse Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:843872. [PMID: 35250593 PMCID: PMC8889073 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.843872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), ranging from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a liver disease worldwide without approved therapeutic drugs. Anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective drug bicyclol and multi-pharmacological active drug berberine, respectively, have shown beneficial effects on NAFLD in murine nutritional models and patients, though the therapeutic mechanisms remain to be illustrated. Here, we investigated the combined effects of bicyclol and berberine on mouse steatosis induced by Western diet (WD), and NASH induced by WD/CCl4. The combined use of these was rather safe and better reduced the levels of transaminase in serum and triglycerides and cholesterol in the liver than their respective monotherapy, accompanied with more significantly attenuating hepatic inflammation, steatosis, and ballooning in mice with steatosis and NASH. The combined therapy also significantly inhibited fibrogenesis, characterized by the decreased hepatic collagen deposition and fibrotic surface. As per mechanism, bicyclol enhanced lipolysis and β-oxidation through restoring the p62-Nrf2-CES2 signaling axis and p62-Nrf2-PPARα signaling axis, respectively, while berberine suppressed de novo lipogenesis through downregulating the expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase, along with enrichment of lipid metabolism-related Bacteroidaceae (family) and Bacteroides (genus). Of note, the combined use of bicyclol and berberine did not influence each other but enhanced the overall therapeutic role in the amelioration of NAFLD. Conclusion: Combined use of bicyclol and berberine might be a new available strategy to treat NAFLD.

Abstract
Advanced multiomics analysis has revealed novel pathophysiological mechanisms in kidney disease. In particular, proteomic and metabolomic analysis shed light on mitochondrial dysfunction (mitochondrial stress) by glycation in diabetic or age-related kidney disease. Further, metabolic damage often results from organelle stress, such as mitochondrial stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, as well as interorganelle communication, or “organelle crosstalk”, in various kidney cells. These contribute to progression of the disease phenotype. Aberrant tubular mitochondrial lipid metabolism leads to tubular inflammation and fibrosis. This review article summarizes updated evidence regarding organelle stress, organelle crosstalk, and metabolic derangement in kidney disease.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents an increasing global health burden. Cellular senescence develops in response to cellular injury, leading not only to cell cycle arrest but also to alterations of the cellular phenotype and metabolic functions. In this review, we critically discuss the currently existing evidence for the involvement of cellular senescence in NAFLD in order to identify areas requiring further exploration. Hepatocyte senescence can be a central pathomechanism as it may foster intracellular fat accumulation, fibrosis and inflammation, also due to secretion of senescence-associated inflammatory mediators. However, in some non-parenchymal liver cell types, such as hepatic stellate cells, senescence may be beneficial by reducing the extracellular matrix deposition and thereby reducing fibrosis. Deciphering the detailed interaction between NAFLD and cellular senescence will be essential to discover novel therapeutic targets halting disease progression.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progressive form non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have emerged as the leading causes of chronic liver disease-related mortality. The prevalence of NAFLD/NASH is expected to increase given the epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Older patients are disproportionally affected by NASH and related complications such as progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma; however, they are often ineligible for liver transplantation due to their frailty and comorbidities, and effective medical treatments are still lacking. In this review we focused on pathways that are key to the aging process in the liver and perpetuate NAFLD/NASH, leading to fibrosis. In addition, we highlighted recent findings and cross-talks of normal and/or senescent liver cells, dysregulated nutrient sensing, proteostasis and mitochondrial dysfunction in the framework of changing metabolic milieu. Better understanding these pathways during preclinical and clinical studies will be essential to design novel and specific therapeutic strategies to treat NASH in the elderly.

Abstract
Kidney is one of the most important organs in maintaining the normal life activities. With the high abundance of mitochondria, renal tubular cell plays the vital role in functioning in the reabsorption and secretion of kidney. Reports have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is of great importance to renal tubular cell senescence and subsequent kidney ageing. However, the underlying mechanisms are not elucidated. Cannabinoid receptor 2 is one of the two receptors responsible for the activation of endocannabinoid system. CB2 is primarily upregulated in renal tubular cells in chronic kidney diseases and mediates fibrogenesis. However, the role of CB2 in tubular mitochondrial dysfunction and kidney ageing has not been clarified. In this study, we found that CB2 was upregulated in kidneys in 24‐month‐old mice and d‐galactose (d‐gal)‐induced accelerated ageing mice, accompanied by the decrease in mitochondrial mass. Furthermore, gene deletion of CB2 in d‐gal‐treated mice could greatly inhibit the activation of β‐catenin signalling and restore the mitochondrial integrity and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. In CB2 knockout mice, renal tubular cell senescence and kidney fibrosis were also significantly inhibited. CB2 overexpression or activation by the agonist AM1241 could sufficiently induce the decrease in PGC‐1α and a variety of mitochondria‐related proteins and trigger cellular senescence in cultured human renal proximal tubular cells. CB2‐activated mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence could be blocked by ICG‐001, a blocker for β‐catenin signalling. These results show CB2 plays a central role in renal tubular mitochondrial dysfunction and kidney ageing. The intrinsic mechanism may be related to its activation in β‐catenin signalling.

Abstract
Astragaloside IV (AST) is a major bioactive compound of Radix Astragali with medical and health benefits. Previous studies have found that AST can reduce the body weights of high-fat diet fed mice. However, the effect of AST on fat metabolism of ageing mice is unclear. In this study, naturally ageing mice were administered intragastrically with AST at 30 mg/kg/day (ageing + AST-L group) and 90 mg/kg/day (ageing + AST-H group) for 16-20 months. Adult (4 months old) and ageing mice were given 1% sodium carboxyl methylcellulose as vehicle. Energy metabolism-related biological parameters of living mice were examined. Moreover, mRNA and protein levels of key enzymes/proteins involved in triglyceride (TG) lipolysis, fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO), ketone body (KB) production and mitochondrial respiratory chain were also examined after sacrifice. Results demonstrated that treatment with AST significantly reduced body weight, white fat and liver/body weight ratio of ageing mice, significantly reduced serum/hepatic TG levels, respiratory quotient, promoted fatty acid mobilization in white adipose tissue, mitochondrial FAO and KB production and mitochondrial biosynthesis/functions in the liver of ageing mice. AST also up-regulated the expression of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a/1b, enoyl coenzyme A hydratase-short chain, acyl-CoA dehydrogenase medium chain and mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase-2 involved in fat metabolism. These results indicated that mitochondrial activity could be the target of AST to treat abnormal fat metabolism during ageing.

Abstract
The elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels contribute to the abnormal expression/activity of several key hepatic lipid metabolism enzymes. Although miRNAs have been shown to play key roles in hepatic lipid metabolism and are found in isolated mitochondria, very little is known about the pathological and physiological significance of their mitochondrial distributions in regulating liver lipid metabolism. Here, we found that TSH significantly reduced the distribution of some miRNAs in mitochondria of hepatocytes, especially miR-449a, miR-449b-5p, and miR-5194. These three miRNAs inhibited their target genes PGC1B, ABCD1, ADIPOR1 and the downstream molecule PPARA. These effects synergistically suppressed fatty acid (FA) β-oxidation in mitochondria and peroxisomes and decreased the translocation of cytosolic very long chain fatty acids to peroxisomes, which noticeably reduced FA catabolism and promoted triglyceride accumulation in hepatocytes. This study reveals the functional significance of changed miRNA mitochondrial-cytoplasmic distribution in the regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

Abstract
RATIONALE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the most common cause of chronic liver disease, has become an increasingly severe public health problem. However, the underlying mechanism for the occurrence and development of NAFLD remains largely unknown. S100 calcium-binding protein A11 (S100A11) is a multifunctional protein previously reported to be a poor prognostic indicator of hepatocellular carcinoma, while the role of S100A11 affects NAFLD is still not clear. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining was performed using human NAFLD and control biopsy specimens. Serum level of S100A11 were analyzed by Elisa assays. The S100A11 over-expressed/ knocked-down model was established in vitro or in vivo. The expression levels of genes related to lipid metabolism in liver tissue were performed by quantitative PCR and western blotting. Hepatic lipid accumulation was determined by biochemical measurements and histochemistry. RESULTS We showed that the concentration of serum S100A11 was significantly elevated in NAFLD patients, and expression of S100A11 was remarkedly increased in the livers of NAFLD patients and mouse models. Overexpression of S100A11 in vivo markedly increased liver steatosis, body weight, and serum aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) levels. Mechanistically, our results demonstrated that S100A11 acted as a positive regulator of AKT/mTOR signaling to induce lipid synthesis and aggravate lipid deposition. CONCLUSIONS These results provide evidence for a novel role of S100A11 that contributes to hepatic steatosis, suggesting that targeting S100A11 may be an alternative approach for the treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently the most acute healthcare challenge in the world. Despite growing knowledge of the nature of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), treatment options are still poorly defined. The safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), specifically ibuprofen, has been openly questioned without any supporting evidence or clarity over dose, duration, or temporality of administration. This has been further conflicted by the initiation of studies to assess the efficacy of ibuprofen in improving outcomes in severe COVID-19 patients. To clarify the scientific reality, a literature search was conducted alongside considerations of the pharmacological properties of ibuprofen in order to construct this narrative review. The literature suggests that double-blind, placebo-controlled study results must be reported and carefully analysed for safety and efficacy in patients with COVID-19 before any recommendations can be made regarding the use of ibuprofen in such patients. Limited studies have suggested: (i) no direct interactions between ibuprofen and SARS-CoV-2 and (ii) there is no evidence to suggest ibuprofen affects the regulation of angiotensin-converting-enzyme 2 (ACE2), the receptor for COVID-19, in human studies. Furthermore, in vitro studies suggest ibuprofen may facilitate cleavage of ACE2 from the membrane, preventing membrane-dependent viral entry into the cell, the clinical significance of which is uncertain. Additionally, in vitro evidence suggests that inhibition of the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-kB) by ibuprofen may have a role in reducing excess inflammation or cytokine release in COVID-19 patients. Finally, there is no evidence that ibuprofen will aggravate or increase the chance of infection of COVID-19.
