Hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)play an important role in the initiation and development of liver fibrogenesis,and abnormal glucose metabolism is increasingly being considered a crucial factor controlling phenotypic transformation in HSCs.However,the role of the factors affecting glycolysis in HSCs in the experimental models of liver fibrosis has not been completely elucidated.In this study,we showed that glycolysis was significantly enhanced,while the expression of brain and muscle arnt-like protein-1(Bmal1)was downregulated in fibrotic liver tissues of mice,primary HSCs,and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-induced LX2 cells.Overexpression of Bmal1 in TGF-β1-induced LX2 cells blocked glycolysis and inhibited the proliferation and phenotypic transformation of activated HSCs.We further confirmed the protective effect of Bmal1 in liver fibrosis by overexpressing Bmal1 from hepatic adeno-associated virus 8 in mice.In addition,we also showed that the regulation of glycolysis by Bmal1 is mediated by the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/α-ketoglutarate(IDH1/α-KG)pathway.Collectively,our results indicated that a novel Bmal1-IDH1/α-KG axis may be involved in regulating glycolysis of activated HSCs and might hence be used as a therapeutic target for alleviating liver fibrosis.

身怀演化奥秘的孑遗巨物,却因人类口舌之欲变得岌岌可危rn2021年10月中旬,连日的阴雨让贵州梵净山国家级自然保护区的天气而变得湿冷刺骨.位于盘溪河畔的保护区救助中心内,救护到这里的两条娃娃鱼藏在水中的石头堆里始终不露头.工作人员杨生计说这两条娃娃鱼是老百姓从野外救护回来的,摸起来比人工养殖的紧实些.不过光凭这个看不出来是不是野生的.的确,仅仅依靠一条大鲵的外观和捕捉地来判断它是否“野生”是绝对不靠谱的.
