Background Oxidative stress underlies the etiopathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a potent endogenous antioxidant gene that plays a key role in decreasing oxidative stress. Sirtuin1 (SIRT1) belongs to the family of NAD-dependent de-acyetylases and is modulated by cellular redox. Hypothesis We hypothesize that fructose-induced obesity creates an inflammatory and oxidative environment conducive to the development of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study is to determine whether HO-1 acts through SIRT1 to form a functional module within hepatocytes to attenuate steatohepatitis, hepatic fibrosis and cardiovascular dysfunction. Methods …

A Novel Transgenic Line Of Mice Exhibiting Autosomal Recessive Male-Specific Lethality And Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Vincent Sollars, Benjamin Mcentee, Julie Engiles, Jay Rothstein, Arthur Buchberg Aug 2012

A Novel Transgenic Line Of Mice Exhibiting Autosomal Recessive Male-Specific Lethality And Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Vincent Sollars, Benjamin Mcentee, Julie Engiles, Jay Rothstein, Arthur Buchberg

We have isolated a Meis1a transgenic mouse line exhibiting recessive male-specific lethality and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which coincides with pubescence and is androgen-dependent. The phenotype is due to disruption of an endogenous locus, since other Meis1a transgenic lines do not exhibit these phenotypes. Necropsy analysis revealed hepatic microvesicular steatosis in pubescent male homozygous mice, which is absent in transgenic females. The transgene insertion site was localized to chromosome 1 and further refined by cloning the flanking regions. Sequence analysis shows that the integration site disrupts a putative metallo-b-lactamase gene with a 21.3 kb deletion encompassing exons 5–7.
