Nuclear prohibitin 1 depletion drives alcohol-associated liver injury and sensitization to colon cancer liver metastasis

Abstract

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is associated with higher incidence of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM); prohibitin 1 (PHB1) defends against CRLM yet its role in ALD and ALD-CRLM is poorly understood and was investigated here. In human, murine, and in vitro ALD models, cytosolic and nuclear PHB1 were depleted, whereas mitochondrial PHB1 was preserved despite a loss in mitochondrial mass. Nuclear PHB1 loss was driven by CRM1-mediated export, and blocking this interaction with a PHB1 nuclear export signal (NES) peptide retained nuclear PHB1, ameliorating both ALD and ALD-CRLM. PHB1 NES prevented depletion of nuclear methionine adenosyltransferase α1, oxidative stress, and induction of matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) and multiple oncogenes. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of NIAAA diet-fed mouse livers and spatial transcriptomics of ALD-CRLM mice livers revealed that PHB1 NES treatment mitigated alcohol-induced metabolic and oncogenic stress, attenuated pro-inflammation and pro-fibrogenic responses, remodeled immunosuppressive microenvironment and contributed to overall hepatoprotection. These findings identify nuclear PHB1 depletion as a driver and a promising therapeutic target in ALD and ALD-CRLM.

Problems with a PDF?

This file is in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. If you have not installed and configured the Adobe Acrobat Reader on your system.

Having trouble reading a PDF?

PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.

Having trouble saving a PDF?

Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users: Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...". Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.

Having trouble printing a PDF?

  1. Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
  2. Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
  3. Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
