Abstract
AbstractThe early phase lipid accumulation is essential for liver regeneration. However, whether this acute lipid accumulation can serve as signals to direct liver regeneration rather than simply providing building blocks for cell proliferation remains unclear. Through in vivo CRISPR screening, we identify MIER1 (mesoderm induction early response 1) as a key epigenetic regulator that bridges the acute lipid accumulation and cell cycle gene expression during liver regeneration in male animals. Physiologically, liver acute lipid accumulation induces the phosphorylation of EIF2S1(eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2), which consequently attenuated Mier1 translation. MIER1 downregulation in turn promotes cell cycle gene expression and regeneration through chromatin remodeling. Importantly, the lipids-EIF2S1-MIER1 pathway is impaired in animals with chronic liver steatosis; whereas MIER1 depletion significantly improves regeneration in these animals. Taken together, our studies identify an epigenetic mechanism by which the early phase lipid redistribution from adipose tissue to liver during regeneration impacts hepatocyte proliferation, and suggest a potential strategy to boost liver regeneration.
