Previous work suggests the existence of a paracrine signaling mechanism in which histamine released from visceral mast cells into the portal circulation contributes to fasting-induced ketogenesis by stimulating biosynthesis of the endogenous high-affinity PPAR-α agonist oleoylethanolamide (OEA).
Male C57Bl/6J mice were rendered obese by exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD; 60% fat). We measured histamine, OEA, and other fatty-acid ethanolamides by liquid-chromatography/mass spectrometry, gene transcription by RT-PCR, protein expression by ELISA, neutral lipid accumulation in the liver using Red Oil O and BODIPY staining, and collagen levels using picrosirius red staining.
Long-term exposure to HFD suppressed both fasting-induced histamine release into portal blood and histamine-dependent OEA production in the liver. Additionally, subchronic OEA administration reduced lipid accumulation, inflammatory responses, and fibrosis in the liver of HFD-exposed mice.
The results suggest that disruption of histamine-dependent OEA signaling in the liver might contribute to pathology in obesity-associated liver steatosis.
先前的研究表明,组胺可能通过刺激内源性高亲和力过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体-α激动剂油酰乙醇酰胺(OEA)的生物合成,从内脏肥大细胞释放到门静脉循环中,从而形成一种旁分泌信号机制,促进禁食诱导的酮体生成。
雄性 C57Bl/6J 小鼠通过高脂肪饮食(HFD;60%脂肪)暴露而肥胖。我们通过液相色谱/质谱法测量了组胺、OEA 和其他脂肪酸乙醇酰胺,通过 RT-PCR 测量了基因转录,通过 ELISA 测量了蛋白质表达,通过 Red Oil O 和 BODIPY 染色测量了肝内中性脂质积累,通过苦味酸红染色测量了胶原水平。
长期暴露于 HFD 抑制了空腹诱导的组胺释放到门静脉血液中和肝脏中依赖于组胺的 OEA 产生。此外,亚慢性 OEA 给药可减少 HFD 暴露小鼠肝脏中的脂质积累、炎症反应和纤维化。
结果表明,肝内依赖于组胺的 OEA 信号的破坏可能导致肥胖相关脂肪性肝病的病理。
