PD-L1 is a critical checkpoint that protects tissues from autoimmune injury. Nevertheless, the role of PD-L1 in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease- (NAFLD-) induced liver damage is still unclear. In this study, we examined the role and mechanism of PD-L1 expression on NAFLD-induced liver damage and PD-L1 expression in the livers from patients with NAFLD, and LO2 cells treated by FFA, was significantly increased. FFA triggers a large amount of ROS (generated from NOX4 and damaged mitochondria), promoting the ZNF24 expression and suppressing ZN24 sumoylation, both of which enhance the PD-L1 transcription and expression. The knockdown of PD-L1 increases CD8 + T cells' damage to FFA-treated LO2 cells, while its upregulation limits the liver injury in NAFLD models. Collectively, we demonstrate that FFA promotes PD-L1 expression through the ROS/ZNF24 pathway and suppresses UBE2I-mediated ZNF24 sumoylation to enhance its transcriptional activity of PD-L1. PD-L1 upregulation limits FFA-induced injury of hepatocytes and .
PD-L1 是一个关键的检查点，可保护组织免受自身免疫损伤。然而，PD-L1 在非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）引起的肝损伤中的作用尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们研究了 PD-L1 在 NAFLD 诱导的肝损伤中的作用和机制，以及 PD-L1 在 NAFLD 患者肝脏中的表达。结果发现，游离脂肪酸（FFA）显著增加 LO2 细胞中 PD-L1 的表达。FFA 触发大量 ROS（由 NOX4 和受损线粒体产生），促进 ZNF24 的表达并抑制 ZN24 的 sumoylation，这两者均增强了 PD-L1 的转录和表达。PD-L1 的敲低增加了 CD8+T 细胞对 FFA 处理的 LO2 细胞的损伤，而上调 PD-L1 则限制了 NAFLD 模型中的肝损伤。总之，我们证明了 FFA 通过 ROS/ZNF24 途径促进 PD-L1 的表达，并抑制 UBE2I 介导的 ZNF24 sumoylation，从而增强其 PD-L1 的转录活性。PD-L1 的上调限制了 FFA 诱导的肝细胞损伤。
