Hepatic transcriptome signatures in mice and humans with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main reason for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. As a starting point for NAFLD, the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is receiving increasing attention. Mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) and hereditary leptin deficiency (ob/o...

description | BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the main reason for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. As a starting point for NAFLD, the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) is receiving increasing attention. Mice fed a high‐fat diet (HFD) and hereditary leptin deficiency (ob/ob) mice are important NAFL animal models. However, the comparison of these mouse models with human NAFL is still unclear. METHODS: In this study, HFD‐fed mice and ob/ob mice were used as NAFL animal models. Liver histopathological characteristics were compared, and liver transcriptome from both mouse models was performed using RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq). RNA‐seq data obtained from the livers of NAFL patients was downloaded from the GEO database. Global gene expression profiles in the livers were further analyzed using functional enrichment analysis and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway. RESULTS: Our results showed that the biochemical parameters of both mouse models and human NAFL were similar. Compared with HFD‐fed mice, ob/ob mice were more similar in histologic appearance to NAFL patients. The liver transcriptome characteristics partly overlapped in mice and humans. Furthermore, in the NAFL pathway, most genes showed similar trends in mice and humans, thus demonstrating that both types of mice can be used as models for basic research on NAFL, considering the differences. CONCLUSION: Our findings show that HFD‐fed mice and ob/ob mice can mimic human NAFL partly in pathophysiological process. The comparative analysis of liver transcriptome profile in mouse models and human NAFL presented here provides insights into the molecular characteristics across these NAFL models. |
