摘要

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is typified by accumulating excess liver triacylglycerol, inflammation, and liver dysfunction. This study was aimed to investigate the role of mitochondrial DNA synthesis-induced activation of Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome and pyroptosis in NAFLD. Mice were raised on a high-fat diet for 24 wk to establish NAFLD models. F4/80 immunofluorescence was performed to reflect the inflammatory response in the liver of mice. Western blot, ELISA, and immuno-fluorescence were adopted to determine the expression of AIM2 inflammasome-related proteins and factors. 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxy-uridine (EdU) immunofluorescence was applied for the examination of mitochondrial DNA expression and flow cytometry for cell pyroptosis. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to detect the integrity of extracted mouse mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The levels of AIM2 inflammasome-related proteins in the liver and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were elevated in high-fat diet-induced NAFLD mice. AIM2 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis were triggered, and suppressed activation of AIM2 inflammasome alleviated the inflammation and pyroptosis in the liver of NAFLD mice. Mitochondria were severely damaged, and mtDNA was synthesized after NAFLD modeling. Furthermore, mtDNA treatment could promote palmitate (PA)-induced activation of AIM2 inflammasome and pyroptosis. Moreover, inhibition of interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) gene alleviated PA-induced AIM2 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. In conclusion, mitochondrial DNA synthesis could enable AIM2 inflammasome activation and induce the hepatocyte pyroptosis, thereby exacerbating NAFLD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Mitochondria damage exacerbates NAFLD through trigerring AIM2 inflammasome activation and hepatocyte pyroptosis. This study provides novel insights into the underlying mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA synthesis in NAFLD and also suggests potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of NAFLD.
