BACKGROUND: Metabolic alterations have been shown to instigate liver inflammation in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. During MASLD progression, intrahepatic CD3+TCRαβ+CD4-CD8- double negative T regulatory cells (DNT) decrease cell survival and immunosuppressive function, leading to aggravated liver inflammation. In this study, we aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms that cause changes in DNT during MASLD progression.
METHODS: The correlation of serum oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) levels and DNT from patients with MASLD and MASLD mouse models were evaluated. The mechanisms of oxLDL affecting DNT survival and function were explored through transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, and CUT & TAG experiments.
RESULTS: Serum oxLDL levels are negative correlated with survival and functional molecule expression of circulating DNT in patients with MASLD and intrahepatic DNT in MASLD mouse models. Mechanistically, oxLDL increases DNT CD36 expression through the NF-κB pathway, leading to enhanced uptake of oxLDL and subsequent occurrence of ferroptosis and functional impairment. oxLDL enhances ferroptosis in DNT by upregulating acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 expression. By transferring CD36-/- DNT into MASLD mice, we observe a significant reduction in ferroptosis and improved immune regulation in CD36-/- DNT compared to wild type DNT. This improvement in DNT results in a notable enhancement of therapeutic efficacy against MASLD.
CONCLUSION: oxLDL induces a decline in the survival and immune regulatory function of DNT, subsequently weakening their role in maintaining liver immune homeostasis in MASLD. Specific targeting of CD36 to prevent ferroptosis in DNT may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of MASLD.
