Description

Application of KLF15 in alcoholic liver disease
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular relates to application of KLF15 in alcoholic liver diseases, and more particularly relates to prevention and treatment of liver diseases caused by alcohol by using transcription factor KLF15 in the liver. According to the invention, the expression level of the liver Klf15 is increased to prevent and regulate alcoholic liver diseases, and experiments prove that the oxidation metabolism of ethanol can be promoted by increasing the expression level of the KLF15 in the liver, and the accumulation of lipid and peroxide in the liver induced by the ethanol can be reduced, so that the effects of effectively resisting fatty liver and hepatitis caused by the ethanol can be achieved.
Background
Alcoholic liver disease is a liver disease caused by alcohol abuse and has been attracting attention due to its high incidence. About 24 million drinkers worldwide, 9.6 million severe drinkers [1] . About 300 tens of thousands of people die from drinking every year worldwide, accounting for 5.3% of all deaths. According to the world health organization report, alcohol-related cirrhosis accounts for 47.9% of all cirrhosis deaths. Alcoholic liver disease is a progressive disease which can be classified into alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma according to pathological progression. The preparation is reversible in the early stage of alcoholic liver disease (alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic hepatitis), and can be relieved by timely clinical treatment and alcohol withdrawal; once cirrhosis has progressed, liver damage is in an irreversible stage.
One of the main current therapeutic strategies for alcoholic liver disease is to abstain from the urge of alcoholics to drink. Related clinical studies have shown that topiramate, disulfiram, baclofen, naltrexone and acamprosate drugs reduce alcohol intake in alcoholics, but because of the toxic side effects of some drugs, patients need to take carefully in combination with their physical condition, such as liver problems, patients should avoid naltrexone and disulfiram, and renal failure patients should avoid naltrexone because of its ability to promote renal tubular secretion [2] . Meanwhile, the severity of alcoholic liver disease is often related to the severity of malnutrition [3] . Early nutritional therapeutic intervention can improve therapeutic response and alleviate symptoms. Providing sufficient calories, proteins and nutrients to support hepatocyte regeneration in existing metabolic alterations of liver disease, improving to some extent alcoholic liver disease. Therefore, supplementing nutrition is also a common adjuvant therapy.
For some patients with severe alcoholic liver disease, partial clinic can also assist in adoptingSome corticosteroid treatments. Inflammation is reduced by reducing transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor TNF-alpha and interleukin IL-8. Prednisolone can effectively prolong survival rate of patients with severe alcoholic liver disease [4] . However, some patients have contraindications for steroid therapy or are resistant to steroid hormones, and other therapeutic approaches have to be pursued. Approximately 40% of alcoholic hepatitis patients do not respond to corticosteroid therapy [5] . Meanwhile, in view of bad prognosis caused by sepsis and infectious complications that may occur when using steroids, it is necessary to prevent infection of patients when using steroid therapy. Liver transplantation offers the possibility of prolonged survival for patients with end-stage alcoholic liver disease. From the information on liver transplants accumulated in 1968 to 2015, it was known that in all liver transplant cases, the European Liver Transplantation Registry (ELTR) reported a cirrhosis case rate of 46% -55% and a case rate involving alcoholic cirrhosis (Alcoholic cirrhosis) of 9% -44% [6] . Liver transplantation provides a physiologically functional liver for patients, reverses complications of end-stage liver disease, improves survival and quality of life, but it cannot treat potential alcoholism and alcohol dependence, with the possibility of causing recurrence.
Kruppel Like Factor (KLF) is the largest and most important basic transcription factor in eukaryotes, a subfamily of zinc finger transcription factors, and the KLF gene in mammals contains at least 18 family members, designated KLF1-KLF18, respectively, in the order of the order found. All KLF family members contain 3 conserved Cys2/His2 zinc finger structures at their C-terminus, which regulate the expression of genes rich in GC and CACCC promoters [7] . Different KLF family members have different biological functions in cells and play a role in different disease progression.
KLF15 is widely expressed in various tissues including heart, liver, adipocytes, skeletal muscle, etc., KLF15 has been demonstrated to control various biological processes such as cell differentiation and proliferation, embryogenesis, tissue development, growth, etc. physiological processes [8] . KLF15 has been shown to be involved in glucose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, etcImportant metabolic systems are closely related [9-12] . KLF15 is an important transcription factor activating gluconeogenesis-related genes, and KLF15 can promote uptake of glucose by cardiomyocytes through glucose transporter by regulating insulin secretion [13] . KLF15 inhibits SREBP-1c (sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 c) transcription by interaction with LXR/RXR/RIP140 complex, KLF15 overexpression specifically ameliorates hypertriglyceridemia [14] . The KLF15 gene is an important regulator of muscle fat metabolism.
KLF15 has been shown to regulate the metabolic system of endogenous substances (e.g. steroid hormones and bile acids) and exogenous substances (e.g. drugs) by direct and indirect pathways [15] . The experimental results obtained by RNA-seq, molecular and biochemical methods show that KLF15 widely regulates the expression of enzyme and membrane channel genes of the biochemical system of EXM (Endobiotic and Xenobiotic Metabolism: endogenous and exogenous substances metabolism). KLF15 binds directly to genes such as CYP2B10 (metabolism and detoxification enzyme of clinical drugs), SULT1A1 (metabolism and detoxification enzyme of clinical drugs), CYP2E1 (cytochrome enzyme, biochemical enzyme that detoxifies drugs), etc., and regulates their transcription levels; or indirectly control the expression of a broader spectrum of enzyme and membrane channel genes by binding to the key regulatory transcription factor PXR, CAR, NRF2 of the EXM biochemical system, thereby regulating its expression [15] . KLF15 controls nutrient acquisition, nutrient flux and nutrient utilization.
According to the current clinical research data, single therapeutic drugs and technical means are unlikely to become effective treatment strategies for alcoholic liver disease.
To date, no report has been made on the defense and treatment of alcoholic liver disease by increasing the expression level of KLF15 in the liver.

Definition of the definition
Alcoholic liver disease: is a liver disease caused by long-term high-volume drinking. Fatty liver is usually manifested in the early stage, and can progress to alcoholic hepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
Lipid vacuoles: in paraffin sections, lipid droplets are dissolved in a lipid solvent such as alcohol or xylene, and thus are in a cavitation form, and sometimes are not easily distinguished from the denaturation of blisters.
Lipid accumulation: the pathological changes of excessive fat accumulation in liver cells are common pathological changes of the liver.
HE staining: hematoxylin-eosin staining is one of the staining methods commonly used in paraffin section techniques. Hematoxylin dye solution is alkaline, and mainly causes chromatin in nuclei and ribosomes in cytoplasm to be purple blue; eosin is an acid dye that primarily reds the cytoplasmic and extracellular matrix components. Can effectively reflect tissue morphology, and is one of the most basic and most widely used technical methods in histology, pathology teaching and scientific research.
Oil red staining: oil red O is a fat-soluble azo dye, is a very strong fat-soluble reagent and fat stain, and can specifically stain neutral lipids such as triglycerides in cells or tissues, and weaker stains such as phospholipids and steroids. When a cell or tissue section is immersed in the oil red O staining solution, the oil red O dissolves in the fat (e.g., lipid droplets) within the cell or tissue, making it red or orange-red.
Alb promoter: liver-specific expressed albumin promoter (ALB).
AAV8 adeno-associated virus: AAV adeno-associated virus of serotype AAV8 is suitable for use in liver, muscle, eye.
Free fatty acids: free fatty acids are one of the substances into which neutral fat is broken down. The concentration of free fatty acid in serum is related to lipid metabolism, glycometabolism, and endocrine function, and is increased by diseases such as diabetes, severe liver disorder, and hyperthyroidism.
Cholesterol: one of the lipids. Cholesterol has a wide range of physiological effects in the body, but when it is in excess, it causes hypercholesterolemia, which adversely affects the body.
Triglycerides: triglycerides are the main energy reservoir of the human body, and can be decomposed according to the requirement of the human body, most tissues can supply energy by utilizing decomposition products of the triglycerides, and meanwhile, tissues such as liver, fat and the like can also synthesize the triglycerides and store the triglycerides in adipose tissues.
Adeno-associated virus: adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a preferred virus for use in gene therapy methods. Wild-type AAVs are relatively small-sized DNA viruses that integrate into the genome of the cells they infect in a stable and site-specific manner. Importantly, no human disease associated with AAV infection has been found to date. Thus, adeno-associated virus (AAV) is the gene therapy vector of choice due to lack of pathogenicity.
TBG promoter: the human thyroxine binds to the globulin promoter and its cellular phagocytosis is hepatocytes.
Afp promoter: the mouse alpha fetoprotein enhancer II is fused with human beta globulin promoter, and the cell phagocytosis is liver cell.
ApoEHCR-hAAT: a chimeric promoter of the hepatocyte control region of human apolipoprotein E and the human α1 antitrypsin promoter.
Primary liver cells: liver primary cells are the main cells of the liver that perform their functions, and many important functions are performed by the performer, such as the decomposition of toxins, the synthesis of urea, the production of all plasma proteins in plasma except several immunoglobulins, etc.; it is also closely related to the occurrence of various diseases of liver such as liver fibrosis, liver cancer, etc.

Liver AML12 cells (purchased from cell bank of academy of sciences of china, SCSP-550) were plated in 48-well plates uniformly at 5 ten thousand cells/well, cultured for 24h with DMEM containing 10% FBS, and after cell attachment, purified for 4h with serum-free DMEM medium. Then, the culture solution was stimulated with serum-free DMEM medium containing 200, 400 and 800mM absolute ethanol for 24 hours, and 450. Mu.l of serum-free DMEM and 50. Mu.l of cck8 cell proliferation toxicity detection reagent were added to each well and mixed uniformly, and after incubation at 37℃for 3 hours, OD was detected at 450nm absorbance using an enzyme-labeled instrument.
Liver AML12 cells (purchased from cell bank of China academy of sciences, SCSP-550) were spread uniformly in 48-well plates according to 3.5 ten thousand cells/well, and cultured with DMEM medium (Verwent Biotechnology (Nanj) Inc., 087-150) containing 10% FBS (Verwent Biotechnology (Nanj) Inc., 319-005) for 24 hours to adhere the cells, and then, 1X 10 cells were used, respectively 8 GC/ml titer KLF15 overexpressing ADV adenovirus (Yun Zhou Biotech (Guangzhou) Co., ltd.) pAV [ Exp]-EGFP-EF1A>mKlf15[NM_023184.4](VB 210324-1295 xkn) (personalized customization of Yun Zhou company), KLF15 knock-down of the ADV adenovirus pAV [ shRNA ]]-EGFP-U6>mKlf15[shRNA](VB 900083-0072 fqn) (personalized customization by Yun Zhou company) specifically increased and decreased KLF15 expression in cells, respectively, according to a transfection of 500. Mu.l/well for 36h, and control ADV adenovirus pAV [ Exp ] was used]-CMV>EGFP (VB 150925-10024) (personalized customization by Yun Zhou company) was used as a reference group. Virus-induced overexpression and knockdown levels of Klf15 were verified using qRT-PCR, RNA in cells was extracted using RNA extraction kit (shanghai yi fir biotechnology limited, RN002 plus) after 36h of virus transfection, and cDNA was obtained using reverse transcription kit (Takara, RR 037A) and stored at-20 ℃. Using One-Step TB
Figure SMS_2
PrimeScript TM RT-PCR Kit II (Perfect Real Time) (Takara, RR 086B) was performed to verify the expression level of Klf15 by qRT-PCR and normalized with 18S. The primer sequences are as follows: klf15 (F: ACAGGCGAGAAGCCCTTT, R: ATCTGAGCGGGAAAACCTC), 18S (F: AAACGGCTACCACATCCAAG, R: TACAGGGCCTCGAAAGAGTC), the reaction sequence of qRT-PCR is the incubation phase: 95 ℃ for 10min; and (3) a circulation stage: 40 cycles, 5 ℃,10s,65 ℃ and 30s; melting curve stage: 95 ℃,15s,60 ℃,1min,95 ℃ and 15s; and (3) heat preservation: 95 ℃ for 10min. The verification result shows that the virus effectively induces the overexpression and the knocking down of Klf15.
The effect of altered levels of Klf15 expression at cellular levels on alcohol-induced loss of cell viability was examined using CCK 8. After virus transfection, the cells were replaced with serum-free DMEM medium and purified for 4h. Serum-free DMEM medium (vison biotechnology (south ky) limited, 319-005) containing 200, 400 and 800mM absolute ethanol was then used to stimulate for 24h, respectively, after which 450 μl of serum-free DMEM and 50 μl of cck8 reagent (eastern chemical technology (Shanghai) limited, ck 04) were added to each well and mixed well, and after incubation at 37 ℃ for 3h, OD values were detected at 450nm absorbance using an enzyme-labeled instrument (fig. 2A). Cell viability of KLF15 overexpression (66.6%) was significantly higher than control (47.7%) and knockdown (43%).
Simultaneously, 1X 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA pancreatin (Nanjin Biotechnology Co., ltd., C100C 1) is used for digestion and collection of AML12 cells transfected with ADV virus knockdown/over expression/control KLF15 treated with 400mM alcohol for 24 hours, 400 mu l absolute ethyl alcohol is added to every 200 mu l of cells, grinding is carried out at 4 ℃ for 10 minutes, supernatant is obtained after centrifugation for 10 minutes, and the supernatant and free fatty acid (NEFA) measuring kit (Nanjin Biotechnology Co., ltd., A042-1-1), triglyceride (TG) measuring kit (Nanjin Biotechnology Co., ltd., A110-1-1) and total cholesterol (TC/TCH) measuring kit (Nanjin Biotechnology Co., ltd., A111-1-1) are respectively added with free fatty acid (NEFA), triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) measuring kit working fluid according to the kit specification, and then the corresponding OD value and cholesterol content (TC) are calculated by using a microplate reader. Experiments showed that KLF15 overexpressing cells had less NEFA, TG, TC than the other two groups. Overexpression group: NEFA (248.312 + -2.029 μmol/L), TG (0.081+ -0.001 mmol/L), TC (0.103+ -0.004 mmol/L); control group: NEFA (354.832 + -9.347. Mu. Mol/L), TG (0.102+0.009 mmol/L), TC (0.153+ -0.003 mmol/L), knock-down group NEFA (444.733 + -5.538. Mu. Mol/L), TG (0.154+ -0.003mmol/L), TC (0.168+ -0.0009 mmol/L), data were statistically analyzed using mean+ -SEM (n=3), indicating that cells have less lipid accumulation. KLF15 overexpression in hepatocytes is resistant to alcohol-induced decrease in cell viability and lipid accumulation.
