AimTriiodothyronine (T3) administration significantly eliminates hepatic steatosis and also has a therapeutic effect on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the potential mechanism by which T3-mediated exercise improves NASH is unknow. This study aimed to explore the effect of aerobic exercise on liver injury in NASH.MethodsAerobic exercise was conducted to explore the effects of exercise on liver injury in NASH model induced by Atherosclerotic (Ath) diet. Biochemical evaluations, histological staining and real-time PCR were first applied to confirm the amelioration effects of exercise on NASH. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis for livers of each group were further used to identify the underlying mechanisms of aerobic exercise. Bioinformatics methods were used to explore the key functional pathways involved in the improvement of liver tissue in NASH mice by aerobic exercise.ResultsAerobic exercise improved hepatic steatosis, lobular inflammation and fibrosis in NASH mice. multiple inflammation-related pathways were significantly enriched in the liver of NASH group and improved by aerobic exercise. The results of gene set variation analysis (GSVA) showed a higher enrichment score of T3 response signature in NASH mice with exercise. Increased Dio1 expression in the liver of NASH with exercise mice and increased circulating FT3 and FT4 levels upon aerobic exercise were confirmed.ConclusionsWe found that aerobic exercise could significantly reduce hepatic lipid accumulation, inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis progression in the liver of NASH mice. Hepatic thyroid hormone signaling activation and circulating thyroid hormones is potentially involved in the amelioration effect of aerobatic exercise on NASH progression. |
