Platelet-derived thrombospondin 1 promotes immune cell liver infiltration and exacerbates diet-induced steatohepatitisJHEP reports : innovation in hepatology · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Background and Aims: Recent studies have implicated platelets, particularly α-granules, in the development of steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the specific mechanisms involved have yet to be determined. Notably, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) is a major component of the platelet α-granules released during platelet activation. The role of platelet-derived TSP1 in NASH remains unknown and was investigated in this study.

Approach and Results: Platelet-specific TSP1 knockout mice (TSP1Δpf4) and their wild type littermates (TSP1F/F) were used. NASH was induced by feeding the mice a diet enriched in fat, sucrose, fructose, and cholesterol (AMLN diet). A human liver NASH organoid model was also employed. Although TSP1 deletion in platelets did not affect diet-induced steatosis, TSP1Δpf4 mice exhibited attenuated NASH and liver fibrosis, accompanied by improvements in plasma glucose and lipid homeostasis. Moreover, intrahepatic platelet accumulation, activation and chemokine production were reduced in TSP1Δpf4 mice, which was correlated with decreased immune cell infiltration into the liver. Consequently, this leads to diminished pro-inflammatory signaling in the liver and mitigated the progression of NAFLD. Moreover, in vitro data revealed that co-culturing TSP1-deficient platelets in a human liver NASH organoid model attenuated hepatic stellate cell activation and NASH progression. Additionally, TSP1 deficient platelets play a role in regulating brown fat endocrine function, specifically affecting Nrg4 production. Crosstalk between brown fat and the liver may also influence NAFLD progression. Conclusions: These data suggest that platelet α-granule-derived TSP1 is a significant contributor to diet-induced NASH and fibrosis, and may serve as a new therapeutic target for this severe liver disease.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE250004_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1051592 and SRA study SRP477613. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
