RESUMO

Resistin-like molecule ß (RELMß) reportedly has multiple functions including local immune responses in the gut. In this study, we investigated the possible contribution of RELMß to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) development. First, RELMß knock-out (KO) mice were shown to be resistant to methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet-induced NASH development. Since it was newly revealed that Kupffer cells in the liver express RELMß and that RELMß expression levels in the colon and the numbers of RELMß-positive Kupffer cells were both increased in this model, we carried out further experiments using radiation chimeras between wild-type and RELMß-KO mice to distinguish between the contributions of RELMß in these two organs. These experiments revealed the requirement of RELMß in both organs for full manifestation of NASH, while deletion of each one alone attenuated the development of NASH with reduced serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels. The higher proportion of lactic acid bacteria in the gut microbiota of RELMß-KO than in that of wild-type mice may be one of the mechanisms underlying the lower serum LPS level the former. These data suggest the contribution of increases in RELMß in the gut and Kupffer cells to NASH development, raising the possibility of RELMß being a novel therapeutic target for NASH.
