Abstract

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH, previously termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)), is a major complication of obesity that promotes fatty liver disease. MASH is characterized by progressive tissue fibrosis and sterile liver inflammation that can lead to liver cirrhosis, cancer, and death. The molecular mechanisms of fibrosis in MASH and its systemic control remain poorly understood. Here, we identified the secreted-type pro-fibrotic protein, procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer-1 (PCPE-1), as a brown adipose tissue (BAT)-derived adipokine that promotes liver fibrosis in a murine obesity-induced MASH model. BAT-specific or systemic PCPE-1 depletion in mice ameliorated liver fibrosis, whereas, PCPE-1 gain of function in BAT enhanced hepatic fibrosis. High-calorie diet-induced ER stress increased PCPE-1 production in BAT through the activation of IRE-1/JNK/c-Fos/c-Jun signaling. Circulating PCPE-1 levels are increased in the plasma of MASH patients, suggesting a therapeutic possibility. In sum, our results uncover PCPE-1 as a novel systemic control factor of liver fibrosis.

PCPE-1是一种源自棕色脂肪组织的细胞因子,可促进肥胖引起的肝纤维化。
代谢功能障碍相关性脂肪性肝炎(MASH,以前称为非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH))是肥胖症的一种主要并发症,会引发脂肪肝。MASH的特点是进行性组织纤维化和无菌性肝脏炎症,可导致肝硬化、癌症和死亡。人们对 MASH 纤维化的分子机制及其系统控制仍知之甚少。在这里,我们确定了分泌型促纤维化蛋白--促胶原蛋白C-内肽酶增强因子-1(PCPE-1),它是一种棕色脂肪组织(BAT)衍生的脂肪因子,可在肥胖诱导的小鼠MASH模型中促进肝纤维化。对小鼠进行BAT特异性或全身性PCPE-1耗竭可改善肝纤维化,而BAT的PCPE-1功能增益则会加剧肝纤维化。高热量饮食诱导的ER应激通过激活IRE-1/JNK/c-Fos/c-Jun信号传导增加了BAT中PCPE-1的产生。MASH患者血浆中的循环PCPE-1水平升高,提示了治疗的可能性。总之,我们的研究结果揭示了 PCPE-1 是一种新型的肝纤维化系统控制因子。
