Polydatin prevents fructose-induced liver inflammation and lipid deposition through increasing miR-200a to regulate Keap1/Nrf2 pathway

Abstract

Oxidative stress is a critical factor in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease pathogenesis. MicroRNA-200a (miR-200a) is reported to target Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), which regulates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) anti-oxidant pathway. Polydatin (3,4′,5-trihydroxy-stilbene-3-β-D-glucoside), a polyphenol found in the rhizome of Polygonum cuspidatum, have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperlipidemic effects. However, whether miR-200a controls Keap1/Nrf2 pathway in fructose-induced liver inflammation and lipid deposition and the blockade of polydatin are still not clear. Here, we detected miR-200a down-regulation, Keap1 up-regulation, Nrf2 antioxidant pathway inactivation, ROS-driven thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) over-expression, NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and dysregulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α (PPAR-α), carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1), sterol regulatory element binging protein 1 (SREBP-1) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1) in rat livers, BRL-3A and HepG2 cells under high fructose induction. Furthermore, the data from the treatment or transfection of miR-200a minic, Keap1 and TXNIP siRNA, Nrf2 activator and ROS inhibitor demonstrated that fructose-induced miR-200a low-expression increased Keap1 to block Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, and then enhanced ROS-driven TXNIP to activate NLRP3 inflammasome and disturb lipid metabolism-related proteins, causing inflammation and lipid deposition in BRL-3A cells. We also found that polydatin up-regulated miR-200a to inhibit Keap1 and activate Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, resulting in attenuation of these disturbances in these animal and cell models. These findings provide a novel pathological mechanism of fructose-induced redox status imbalance and suggest that the enhancement of miR-200a to control Keap1/Nrf2 pathway by polydatin is a therapeutic strategy for fructose-associated liver inflammation and lipid deposition.

Piceatannol inhibits pyroptosis and suppresses oxLDL-induced lipid storage in macrophages by regulating miR-200a/Nrf2/GSDMD axis

“…Previous studies provided a robust evidence to support a cross-talk between Nrf2 and miR-200a [ 20 , 21 ]. Hence, we speculated that miR-200a could act as an upstream of Nrf2, and was closely involved in the effect of PIC in macrophages.…”

Protective effect of apple phlorizin on hydrogen peroxide‐induced cell damage in HepG2 cells

“…Total cellular protein was extracted using NP40 lysis buffer, and the protein content was measured using a BCA protein assay kit. The expression levels of the proteins were measured as described previously (Zhao et al, ). Total protein was fractionated on 7% SDS‐PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane.…”

KCNQ1OT1 promotes autophagy by regulating miR‐200a/FOXO3/ATG7 pathway in cerebral ischemic stroke

“…And we realized that the increase in miR‐200a was greater than others after KCNQ1OT1 knockdown in oxygen and glucose deprivation and re‐oxygenation (OGD/R) cells. MiR‐200a was determined to participate in inflammatory and senescence processes in cells (Zhao et al, ). In addition, miR‐200a inhibits proliferation in carcinoma cells (Li et al, ).…”
