PG - 121339 LID - S0024-3205(22)01039-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.lfs.2022.121339 [doi] AB - AIMS: Liver is a pivotal organ for sepsis-induced injury and approximately 40 % of liver injury results from sepsis. During hepatic injury, monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation is a key event because it results in the regulation of immune response. Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is enriched in classical monocyte of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We aimed to explore the effect of ASGR1 on monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and the modulation of sepsis-induced liver injury. MAIN METHODS: ASGR1-knockdown/overexpression THP-1 cells and mice bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) induced by PMA and 30 % L929-cell conditioned medium were utilized to test the impact of ASGR1 on monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation and molecular mechanism respectively. Expression of differentiation specific factors were assessed via flow cytometry and real-time quantitative PCR. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis revealed the effect of ASGR1 on monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation. Further, differentiation specific factors ATF5 and NF-kappaB pathways were examined via Western blot. The interaction between ASGR1 and ATF5 was further examined by co-IP. Finally, LPS-induced ASGR1-knockdown mice sepsis was used to investigate the effect of ASGR1 on monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation, liver injury and survival. KEY FINDINGS: ASGR1 promoted monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation via up-regulating CD68, F4/80 and CD86. Additionally, inhibited-ASGR1 decreased ATF5 expression by suppressing phosphorylation of NF-kappaB and IKBa in vitro and in vivo. ASGR1-knockdown mice suppressed Ly6C(hi) inflammatory monocytes in PBMCs, and restrained CD45(+)CD11b(hi)F4/80(+)Ly6C(lo) monocyte-derived macrophages and CD45(+)CD11b(+)F4/80(+)Ly6C(+) inflammatory macrophages in livers. It also suppressed the level of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and alleviated liver injury and improved survival after sepsis. SIGNIFICANCE: ASGR1 is a negative regulator for sepsis-induced liver injury and survival. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
