The PPARα Agonist Fenofibrate Prevents Formation of Protein Aggregates (Mallory-Denk bodies) in a Murine Model of Steatohepatitis-like Hepatotoxicity
Abstract Chronic intoxication of mice with the porphyrinogenic compound 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) leads to morphological and metabolic changes closely resembling steatohepatitis, a severe form of metabolic liver disease in humans. Since human steatohepatitis (both the alcoholic...

Acute DDC-intoxication was accompanied by early significant downregulation of Pparα mRNA expression along with PPARα-controlled stress-response and lipid metabolism genes that persisted in the chronic stage. Administration of the specific PPARα agonist fenofibrate together with DDC prevented the downregulation of PPARα-associated genes and also improved the stress response of Nrf2-dependent redox-regulating genes.

In addition, fenofibrate prevented the disruption of hepatocyte intermediate filament cytoskeleton and the formation of Mallory-Denk bodies at late stages of DDC intoxication.
