BACKGROUND: Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA), an ion pumping enzyme ubiquitously expressed in various cells, is critically involved in cellular ion homeostasis and signal transduction. However, the role of NKA in hepatic lipid homeostasis has yet to be fully characterized.
METHODS: The activity of NKA and NKAα1 expression were determined in steatotic cells, mice and patients. The roles of NKAα1 in hepatosteatosis were detected using hepatocyte knockout or specific overexpression of NKAα1 in mice.
RESULTS: Herein, we demonstrated that the expression and activity of α1 subunit of NKA (NKAα1) were lowered in the livers of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients, high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice, and genetically obese (ob/ob, db/db) mice, as well as oleic acid-induced hepatocytes. Hepatic deficiency of NKAα1 exacerbated, while adeno-associated virus-mediated liver specific overexpression of NKAα1 alleviated hepatic steatosis through regulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and lipogenesis. Mechanistically, we revealed that NKAα1 upregulated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) via interacting with ubiquitin specific peptidase 22 (USP22), a deubiquitinating enzyme for the stabilization and deubiquitination of SIRT1, thus activating the downstream autophagy signaling. Blockade of the SIRT1/autophagy signaling pathway eliminated the protective effects of NKAα1 against lipid deposition in hepatocytes. Importantly, we found that an antibody against the DR region (897DVEDSYGQQWTYEQR911) of NKAα1 subunit (DR-Ab) ameliorated hepatic steatosis through maintaining the membrane density of NKAα1 and inducing its activation.
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, this study renews the functions of NKAα1 in liver lipid metabolism and provides a new clue for gene therapy or antibody treatment of hepatic lipid metabolism disturbance by targeting NKAα1.
