Aging Exacerbates Oxidative Stress and Liver Fibrosis in an Animal Model of Down Syndrome

BUFFALO, NY- July 10, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 12, entitled, “Aging exacerbates oxidative stress and liver fibrosis in an animal model of Down Syndrome.” Down Syndrome (DS) is a common genetic disorder characterized by an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to dysregulation of various metabolic pathways. Oxidative stress in DS is associated with neurodevelopmental defects, neuronal dysfunction, and a dementia onset resembling Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, chronic oxidative stress contributes to cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers prevalent in DS individuals. In this new study, researchers Sebastiano Giallongo, Jessica Ferrigno, Rosario Caltabiano, Giuseppe Broggi, Amer M. Alanazi, Alfio Distefano, Emanuela Tropea, Antonella Tramutola, Marzia Perluigi, Giovanni Li Volti, Eugenio Barone, and Ignazio Alberto Barbagallo from the University of Catania, King Saud University, and Sapienza University of Rome investigated the impact of aging on oxidative stress and liver fibrosis using a DS murine model (Ts2Cje mice). “Our results show that DS mice show increased liver oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant defenses, as evidenced by reduced glutathione levels and increased lipid peroxidation.” DS liver exhibited an altered inflammatory response and mitochondrial fitness as the researchers showed by assaying the expression of HMOX1, CLPP, and the heat shock proteins Hsp90 and Hsp60. DS liver also displayed dysregulated lipid metabolism, indicated by altered expression of PPARα, PPARγ, FATP5, and CTP2. Consistently, these changes might contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development, a condition characterized by liver fat accumulation. Consistently, histological analysis of DS liver revealed increased fibrosis and steatosis, as showed by Col1a1 increased expression, indicative of potential progression to liver cirrhosis. Therefore, their findings suggest an increased risk of liver pathologies in DS individuals, particularly when combined with the higher prevalence of obesity and metabolic dysfunctions in DS patients. “These results shed a light on the liver's role in DS-associated pathologies and suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress and lipid metabolism to prevent or mitigate liver-related complications in DS individuals.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205970 Corresponding author - Giovanni Li Volti - livolti@unict.it Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GlAruy0xfk Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.205970 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, Down Syndrome, oxidative stress, liver About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population. The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging.

First-of-its-kind medication shows promise for liver disease patientsMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is estimated to affect nearly one-quarter of adults in the United States. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a form of MASLD that can cause liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. It is one of the most common reasons why patients need liver transplants.The FDA recently granted accelerated approval to resmetirom, the first medication to treat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis. Prior to the FDA approval, there were no approved drugs to treat this diseaseIn this 5-minute check in, we review the promising phase 3 data from a randomized trial that led to FDA approval including the results, the implications for patient care, and the potential to transform the landscape of NASH managementGuest: Dr. Justin Reynolds, Associate Professor, Creighton University School of Medicine, Gastroenterologist and Transplant Hepatologist, St Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center Transplant Center in Phoenix, Arizona.Study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2309000

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.29.551032v1?rss=1 Authors: Sun, C., Zhou, C., Daneshvar, K., Kratkiewicz, A. J., Ben Saad, A., Hess, A., Chen, J. Y., Pondick, J. V., York, S. R., Li, W., Moran, S. P., Gentile, S., Ur Rahman, R., Li, Z., Sparks, R., Habboub, T., Kim, B.-M., Choi, M., Affo, S., Schwabe, R. F., Popov, Y. V., Mullen, A. C. Abstract: Background & Aims: Fibrosis is the common endpoint for all forms of chronic liver injury, and progression of fibrosis leads to the development of end-stage liver disease. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and their transdifferentiation to myofibroblasts results in the accumulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that form the fibrotic scar. Long noncoding (lnc) RNAs regulate the activity of HSCs and may provide targets for fibrotic therapies. Methods: We identified lncRNA TILAM as expressed near COL1A1 in human HSCs and performed loss-of-function studies in human HSCs and liver organoids. Transcriptomic analysis of HSCs isolated from mice defined the murine ortholog of TILAM. We then generated Tilam-deficient GFP reporter mice and quantified fibrotic responses to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and choline-deficient L-amino acid defined high fat diet (CDA-HFD). Co-precipitation studies, mass spectrometry, and gene expression analyses identified protein partners of TILAM. Results: TILAM is conserved between human and mouse HSCs and regulates expression of ECM proteins, including collagen. Tilam is selectively induced in murine HSCs during the development of fibrosis in vivo. In both male and female mice, loss of Tilam results in reduced fibrosis in the setting of CCl4 and CDA-HFD injury models. TILAM interacts with promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) to stabilize PML protein levels and promote the fibrotic activity of HSCs. Conclusion: TILAM is activated in HSCs and interacts with PML to drive the development of liver fibrosis. Depletion of TILAM may serve as a therapeutic approach to combat the development of end stage liver disease. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Dr. Stephen Harrison talks to Drs. Thomas Wirth and Yoshiaki Suname about the paper: Hepatic activation of IKK/NFκB signaling induces liver fibrosis via macrophage-mediated chronic inflammation Abstract: Liver damage in humans is induced by various insults including alcohol abuse, hepatitis B/C virus infection, autoimmune or metabolic disorders and, when persistent, leads to development of liver fibrosis. Because the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) system is activated in response to several of these stresses, we hypothesized that NF-κB activation in hepatocytes may contribute to fibrosis development. To activate the NF-κB signaling pathway in a time- and cell-type-specific manner in the liver, we crossed transgenic mice carrying the tetracycline-responsive transactivator under the control of the liver activator protein promotor with transgenic mice carrying a constitutively active form of the Ikbkb gene (IKK2 protein [CAIKK2]). Double-transgenic mice displayed doxycycline-regulated CAIKK2 expression in hepatocytes. Removal of doxycycline at birth led to activation of NF-κB signaling, moderate liver damage, recruitment of inflammatory cells, hepatocyte proliferation, and ultimately to spontaneous liver fibrosis development. Microarray analysis revealed prominent up-regulation of chemokines and chemokine receptors and this induction was rapidly reversed after switching off the CAIKK2 expression. Turning off the transgene expression for 3 weeks reversed stellate cell activation but did not diminish liver fibrosis. The elimination of macrophages by clodronate-liposomes attenuated NF-κB-induced liver fibrosis in a liver-injury-independent manner. Conclusion: Our results revealed that hepatic activation of IKK/NF-κB is sufficient to induce liver fibrosis by way of macrophage-mediated chronic inflammation. Therefore, agents controlling the hepatic NF-κB system represent attractive therapeutic tools to prevent fibrosis development in multiple chronic liver diseases. (HEPATOLOGY 2012;56:1117–1128)
