Abstract

Objective

Currently, little is known about the mechanism(s) regulating global and specific protein translation during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH; previously known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH).

Methods

Unbiased label-free quantitative proteome, puromycin-labelling and polysome profiling were used to understand protein translation activity in vitro and in vivo.

Results

We observed a global decrease in protein translation during lipotoxicity in human primary hepatocytes, mouse hepatic AML12 cells, and livers from a dietary mouse model of MASH. Interestingly, proteomic analysis showed that Rplp1, which regulates ribosome and translation pathways, was one of the most downregulated proteins. Moreover, decreased Esrra expression and binding to the Rplp1 promoter, diminished Rplp1 gene expression during lipotoxicity. This, in turn, reduced global protein translation and Esrra/Rplp1-dependent translation of lysosome (Lamp2, Ctsd) and autophagy (sqstm1, Map1lc3b) proteins. Of note, Esrra did not increase its binding to these gene promoters or their gene transcription, confirming its regulation of their translation during lipotoxicity. Notably, hepatic Esrra-Rplp1-dependent translation of lysosomal and autophagy proteins also was impaired in MASH patients and liver-specific Esrra knockout mice. Remarkably, alternate day fasting induced Esrra-Rplp1-dependent expression of lysosomal proteins, restored autophagy, and reduced lipotoxicity, inflammation, and fibrosis in hepatic cell culture and in vivo models of MASH.

Conclusions

Esrra regulation of Rplp1-mediated translation of lysosome/autolysosome proteins was downregulated during MASH. Alternate day fasting activated this novel pathway and improved MASH, suggesting that Esrra and Rplp1 may serve as therapeutic targets for MASH. Our findings also provided the first example of a nuclear hormone receptor, Esrra, to not only regulate transcription but also protein translation, via induction of Rplp1.
