Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 aggravates diet-induced gallstone formation via increased ABCG5/ABCG8 expression
Macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (MIC-1), which is overproduced in various human cancers and associated with cachexia, acts on the hypothalamus to suppress appetite and reduce body weight. We investigated the mechanisms through which MIC-1 affects bile acid metabolism and gallstone formation, which...

description | Macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (MIC-1), which is overproduced in various human cancers and associated with cachexia, acts on the hypothalamus to suppress appetite and reduce body weight. We investigated the mechanisms through which MIC-1 affects bile acid metabolism and gallstone formation, which are poorly understood. Over 6 weeks, male C57BL/6 mice fed either standard chow or a lithogenic diet were intraperitoneally injected with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or MIC-1 (200 μg/kg/week). Among lithogenic diet–fed mice, MIC-1 treatment resulted in increased gallstone formation compared with PBS treatment. Compared with PBS treatment, MIC-1 treatment decreased hepatic cholesterol and bile acid levels and reduced expression of HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR), the master cholesterol metabolism regulator sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2, cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase, and oxysterol 7α-hydroxylase. Compared with PBS treatment, MIC-1 treatment had no effect on small heterodimer partner, farnesoid X receptor, or pregnane X receptor expression, and extracellular signal–related kinase and c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation decreased, suggesting that these factors do not contribute to the MIC-1–induced reduction in CYP7A1 expression. Compared with PBS treatment, MIC-1 treatment increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation. Treatment with the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) reduced CYP7A1 and HMGCR expression, whereas the AMPK inhibitor Compound C reversed MIC-1-induced reductions in CYP7A1 and HMGCR expression. Furthermore, in MIC-1-treated mice, total biliary cholesterol levels increased together with increased ATP-binding cassette subfamily G (ABCG)5 and ABCG8 expression. Compared with PBS treatment, MIC-1 treatment did not affect expression of liver X receptors α and β, liver receptor homolog 1, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α, or NR1I3 (also known as constitutive androstane receptor), which are upstream of ABCG5/8; however, MIC-1 treatment increased ABCG5/8 expression and promoter activities. Our study indicates that MIC-1 influences gallstone formation by increasing AMPK phosphorylation, reducing CYP7A1 and HMGCR expression, and increasing ABCG5 and ABCG8 expression. |
