Abstract

Metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is phenotypically displayed by a buildup of fat in the liver. Over time, a patient with MAFLD tends to develop the disease into worse states like liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. The transition from simple steatosis into steatohepatitis is marked by inflammation. Several reports have suggested that endotoxemia is one factor that activates hepatic inflammation in MAFLD. Elevated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) localization and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) upregulation are found in the liver of patients and animal models with MAFLD. Fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), a new group of lipids, is beneficial for metabolic diseases such as diabetes. The most pronounced effects of FAHFAs are their antiinflammation activity due to their ability to prevent upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines upon infection. The present study was undertaken to examine the anti-inflammatory activity of palmitoleic acid ester of 9-hydroxystearic acid (9-POHSA), one of the major endogenous FAHFA species in rat hepatocytes stimulated by LPS. Clone9 rat hepatocytes were cultured in DMEM without serum for 12 h and treated with LPS for 24 h with various concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 μg/mL. TNF-α, p65, and phospho-p65 expression was assessed by immunofluorescence and Western blot. With or without LPS, the Clone9 cells were pretreated with 9-POHSA for 1 h. LPS, in a concentration-dependent manner, increased TNF-α expression and time-dependently increased the nuclear translocation of p65. Pretreatment of 9-POHSA inhibited the p65 translocation into the nucleus, TNF-α, and phospho-p65 expression. The results suggest that 9-POHSA exerts its anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting p65 NF-kB related pathway.
