Abstract:Fatty liver disease is a common chronic liver disease which is mainly induced by abnormal lipid metabolism. To find out the effect of GP73 on lipid metabolism in the liver, we constructed a high GP73 expression liver model through a tail vein injection of AAV-GP73 into eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice. Liver lipid metabolomics analysis showed that lipids in the liver of mice, especially the triglycerides, were significantly increased. In addition, kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analysis showed that GP73 altered lipid metabolites profile that may further disturb many signaling pathways related to cellular metabolism. The diseases linked to type II diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and choline metabolism in cancer cells were more likely to be dysregulated. Thus, GP73 may induce fatty liver by regulating lipid metabolism and promoting lipid accumulation in the liver.
