摘要

Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs), small, noncoding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression, may play a role in the regulation of metabolic disorders, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To identify miRNAs that mediate NAFLD-related fibrosis, we used high-throughput sequencing to assess miRNAs obtained from liver biopsies of 15 individuals without NAFLD fibrosis (F0) and 15 individuals with severe NAFLD fibrosis or cirrhosis (F3-F4), matched for age, sex, body mass index, type 2 diabetes status, hemoglobin Alc, and use of diabetes medications. We used DESeq2 and Kruskal-Wallis test to identify miRNAs that were differentially expressed between NAFLD patients with or without fibrosis, adjusting for multiple testing using Bonferroni correction. We identified a total of 75 miRNAs showing statistically significant evidence (adjusted P value 0.05) for differential expression between the 2 groups, including 30 upregulated and 45 downregulated miRNAs. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis of selected miRNAs identified by sequencing validated 9 of 11 of the top differentially expressed miRNAs. We performed functional enrichment analysis of dysregulated miRNAs and identified several potential gene targets related to NAFLD-related fibrosis including hepatic fibrosis, hepatic stellate cell activation, transforming growth factor beta signaling, and apoptosis signaling. We identified forkhead box 03 and F-box WD repeat domain containing 7, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (FBXW7) as potential targets of miR-182, and found that levels of forkhead box 03, but not FBXW7, were significantly decreased in fibrotic samples. These findings support a role for hepatic miRNAs in the pathogenesis of NAFLD-related fibrosis and yield possible new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
