چکیده

BACKGROUND/AIMS Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a key mediator of glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the beneficial effects of exogenous FGF21 administration are attenuated in obese animals and humans with elevated levels of circulating free fatty acids (FFA). METHODS We investigated in vitro how FFA impact FGF21 effects on hepatic lipid metabolism. RESULTS In the absence of FFA, FGF21 reduced lipogenesis and increased lipid oxidation in HepG2 cells. Inhibition of lipogenesis was associated with a down regulation of SREBP-1c, FAS and SCD1. The lipid-lowering effect was associated with AMPK and ACC phosphorylation, and up regulation of CPT-1α expression. Further, FGF21 treatment reduced TNFα gene expression, suggesting a beneficial action of FGF21 on inflammation. In contrast, the addition of FFA abolished the positive effects of FGF21 on lipid metabolism. CONCLUSION In the absence of FFA, FGF21 improves lipid metabolism in HepG2 cells and reduces the inflammatory cytokine TNFα. However, under high levels of FFA, FGF21 action on lipid metabolism and TNFα gene expression is impaired. Therefore, FFA impair FGF21 action in HepG2 cells potentially through TNFα.

Human HMGCS2 regulates mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and FGF21 expression in HepG2 cell line.

HMGCS2 (hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA synthase 2), the gene that regulates ketone body production, is barely expressed in cultured cell lines. In this study, we restored HMGCS2 expression and activity in HepG2 cells, thus showing that the wild type enzyme can induce fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and ketogenesis, whereas a catalytically inactive mutant C166A did not generate either process. Peroxisom...

An in vitro model for essential fatty acid deficiency: HepG2 cells permanently maintained in lipid-free medium.

A stable essential fatty acid-deficient cell type, known as HepG2-EFD, was derived from the lipoprotein-producing human hepatoma cell line HepG2. These cells are particularly useful for quantitative studies involving essential fatty acids (n-6 and n-3 fatty acids) in secreted lipoproteins. Radiolabeled essential fatty acids can be delivered to these cells without altering the specific activity ...

Sodium Butyrate Stimulates Expression of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 in Liver by Inhibition of Histone Deacetylase 3

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) stimulates fatty acid oxidation and ketone body production in animals. In this study, we investigated the role of FGF21 in the metabolic activity of sodium butyrate, a dietary histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. FGF21 expression was examined in serum and liver after injection of sodium butyrate into dietary obese C57BL/6J mice. The role of FGF21 was determi...

Circadian rhythm of circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 is related to diurnal changes in fatty acids in humans.

BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 is an endocrine factor actively involved in glucose and lipid metabolism in rodents. However, little is known about its physiological function and regulation in humans. This study investigated the diurnal changes in circulating FGF21 concentrations and their association with other metabolic markers in both obese and lean individuals. METHODS A tota...

Evaluation the effect of analog curcumin on the display and expression of SIRT1 and FAS genes in HepG2 fatty cells.

Abstract: Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver is a disease that will lead to liver cirrhosis if not treated. Curcumin is the active substance of the rhizome of the turmeric plant, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, etc. properties. In the present study, the effects of curcumin analogue on the expression of SIRT1 and FAS genes and the accumulation of triglycerides in f...
