White Adipose Tissue Autophagy and Adipose-Liver Crosstalk Exacerbate Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in MiceSummary

Background & Aims: Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely associated with obesity, the role of adipose tissue in NAFLD is not well-understood. Because autophagy has been reported to be involved in the degradation of lipid droplets, we investigated the role of adipose ti...

Because autophagy has been reported to be involved in the degradation of lipid droplets, we investigated the role of adipose tissue autophagy in the liver pathogenesis of NAFLD. Methods: C57BL/6J mice and adipocyte-specific Atg7-knockout mice (Adipoq-Atg7 KO mice) were fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Results: HFD feeding for up to 4 months increased both inguinal and epididymal white adipose tissue (iWAT and eWAT, respectively; the former represents subcutaneous fat, and the latter represents visceral fat) in mice. After HFD feeding, autophagy flux in both types of white adipose tissue was increased, and the levels of Rubicon, a negative autophagy regulator, were decreased, suggesting autophagy promotion. Adipoq-Atg7 KO mice exhibited suppressed autophagy in both iWAT and eWAT. Adipocyte-specific Atg7 KO enhanced HFD-induced iWAT hypertrophy. On the other hand, eWAT levels in Adipoq-Atg7 KO mice were increased after 1 month of HFD feeding but decreased after 4 months of HFD feeding compared with those in wild-type controls. Cleaved caspase 3 and JNK pathway protein expression in eWAT was increased without cytokine elevation in Adipoq-Atg7 KO mice fed an HFD compared with wild-type mice fed an HFD. Adipocyte-specific Atg7 KO decreased serum free fatty acid levels and ameliorated HFD-induced steatosis, liver inflammation, and fibrosis. Conclusions: Autophagy was enhanced in the white adipose tissues of mice fed an HFD. Autophagy inhibition in white adipose tissues ameliorated the liver pathology of NAFLD via adipose-liver crosstalk.Sadatsugu SakaneHayato HikitaKumiko ShiraiYuta MyojinYouichi SasakiShinnosuke KudoKenji FukumotoNaoki MizutaniYuki TahataYuki MakinoRyoko YamadaTakahiro KodamaRyotaro SakamoriTomohide TatsumiTetsuo TakeharaElsevierarticleNonalcoholic SteatohepatitisDiseases of the digestive system.
