Comparison of hepatic gene expression profiles between three mouse models of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disorder worldwide. Murine models of NAFLD have been widely used to explore its pathogenesis. In this study, we performed a systematic evaluation of hepatic genome-wide mRNA expression by RNA-Sequencing using three mo...

description Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disorder worldwide. Murine models of NAFLD have been widely used to explore its pathogenesis. In this study, we performed a systematic evaluation of hepatic genome-wide mRNA expression by RNA-Sequencing using three mouse models of NAFLD: leptin receptor deficient db/db mice, high-fat high-sugar diet (HSHF)-induced obese mice, and dexamethasone (DEX)-induced NAFLD mice. As a result, we found both distinct and common pathways in the regulation of lipid metabolism from transcriptomes of three mouse models. Moreover, only a total of 12 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were commonly detected among all three mouse groups, indicating very little overlap among all three models. Therefore, our results suggest that NAFLD is a heterogeneous disease with highly variable molecular mechanisms.
