Popis: | BACKGROUND AND AIM Receptor-interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) have gained attention as apoptosis alternate cell death signaling molecules. We aimed to evaluate the role of MLKL in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Hepatic tissue MLKL expression was compared between NAFLD patients and healthy controls. High-fat diet was fed to wild-type and MLKL-knockout (KO) mice for 12 weeks. Brown adipose fat tissue was measured by [18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry. Anti-MLKL effects were also evaluated in in vitro setting using U937 and HepG2 cells. RESULTS Hepatic tissue MLKL expression increased in NAFLD patients compared with healthy controls. MLKL expression increased according to the degree of steatosis, ballooning, and inflammation. High-fat diet-fed MLKL-KO mice displayed decreased alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, liver weight, NAFLD activity score (6.3 vs 3.5, P |
