项目摘要

Obesity is an independent risk factor for development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). With the epidemic burden of obesity and metabolic diseases, NAFLD occurrence is steadily rising, along with the need for therapeutic options of this disease. Preliminary data from rodent and human studies provide strong evidence to support the hypothesis that monocyte/macrophage-derived TSP1 in obesity downregulates liver macrophage SMPDL3B and this downregulation feeds back to increase TSP1 binding to its receptor-CD36. This positive feedback loop together with SMPDL3B’s action on TLR pathways further amplifies liver macrophage pro-inflammatory signaling and leads to NAFLD progression. In this proposal, how SMPDL3B regulates CD36 function and then TSP1-CD36 dependent pro-inflammatory signaling in macrophages will be determined in Aim 1. The in vivo importance of macrophage SMPDL3B in NAFLD development and progression in both animal models and human liver organoids will be determined in Aim 2. Whether specific blockade of TSP1/CD36 interaction upregulates liver macrophage SMPDL3B and attenuates liver pro- inflammatory signaling and NAFLD development and progression will be determined in Aim 3. Completing these studies will provide novel information on the mechanisms by which suppressed macrophage SMPDL3B enhances liver macrophage pro-inflammatory signaling and its critical role in the progression of obesity- associated NAFLD to NASH. Further, testing a novel therapeutic application of a peptide nanoparticle conjugate to block TSP1/CD36 interaction in obesity-associated NASH in vivo will have translational significance.

肥胖是发展非酒精性脂肪肝病（NAFLD）的独立危险因素。与肥胖和代谢性疾病的流行病烧伤，NAFLD的发生稳步上升，需要对于这种疾病的治疗选择。来自啮齿动物和人类研究的初步数据提供了强大的支持肥胖症中单核细胞/巨噬细胞衍生的TSP1的证据巨噬细胞SMPDL3B和该下调馈回以增加TSP1与其接收器CD36的结合。这种积极的反馈循环以及SMPDL3B对TLR途径的动作进一步放大器肝脏巨噬细胞促炎信号传导并导致NAFLD进展。在此提案中，如何smpdl3b 调节CD36功能，然后在巨噬细胞中依赖于TSP1-CD36依赖性促炎信号传导在AIM 1中确定。巨噬细胞SMPDL3B在NAFLD开发中的体内重要性动物模型和人肝癌的进展将在AIM 2中确定。 TSP1/CD36相互作用的块块上调肝巨噬细胞SMPDL3B并减轻肝脏促进炎症信号传导和NAFLD的发展和进展将在AIM 3中确定。完成这些研究将提供有关抑制巨噬细胞SMPDL3B的机制的新信息增强肝巨噬细胞促炎信号传导及其在肥胖症发展中的关键作用将NAFLD与Nash相关。此外，测试肽纳米颗粒的新型治疗应用结合以阻断与观测相关的体内NASH中的TSP1/CD36相互作用将具有翻译意义。
