Systemic loss of CD36 aggravates NAFLD-related HCC through MEK1/2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2024 March 13
BACKGROUND & AIMS: CD36, a membrane protein widely present in various tissues, is crucial role in regulating energy metabolism. The rise of HCC as a notable outcome of NAFLD is becoming more apparent. Patients with hereditary CD36 deficiency are at increased risk of NAFLD. However, the impact of CD36 deficiency on NAFLD-HCC remains unclear.
METHODS: Global CD36 knockout mice (CD36KO) and wild type mice (WT) were induced to establish NAFLD-HCC model by N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN) plus high fat diet (HFD). Transcriptomics was employed to examine genes that were expressed differentially.
RESULTS: Compared to WT mice, CD36KO mice showed more severe HFD-induced liver issues and increased tumor malignancy. The MEK1/2-ERK1/2 pathway activation was detected in the liver tissues of CD36KO mice using RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis.
CONCLUSION: Systemic loss of CD36 leaded to the advancement of NAFLD to HCC by causing lipid disorders and metabolic inflammation, a process that involves the activation of MAPK signaling pathway. We found that CD36 contributes significantly to the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in NAFLD-HCC.
