BACKGROUND: Microcystins (MCs), potent hepatotoxins pose a significant health risk to humans, particularly children, who are more vulnerable due to higher water intake and increased exposure during recreational activities.
METHODS: Here, we investigated the role of host microbiome-linked acetate in modulating inflammation caused by early-life exposure to the cyanotoxin Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in a juvenile mice model.
RESULTS: Our study revealed that early-life MC-LR exposure disrupted the gut microbiome, leading to a depletion of key acetate-producing bacteria and decreased luminal acetate concentration. Consequently, the dysbiosis hindered the establishment of a gut homeostatic microenvironment and disrupted gut barrier function. The NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain - containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, a key player in MC-induced hepatoxicity emerged as a central player in this process, with acetate supplementation effectively preventing NLRP3 inflammasome activation, attenuating hepatic inflammation, and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the association between early-life MC-LR exposure and the progression of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), we investigated the role of acetate binding to its receptor -G-protein coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our results demonstrated that acetate-GPR43 signaling was crucial for decreasing NLRP3 protein levels and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome assembly. Further, acetate-induced decrease in NLRP3 protein levels was likely mediated through proteasomal degradation rather than autophagy. Overall, our findings underscore the significance of a healthy gut microbiome and its metabolites, particularly acetate, in the progression of hepatotoxicity induced by early life toxin exposure, crucial for MASLD progression.
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights potential therapeutic targets in gut dysbiosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation for mitigating toxin-associated inflammatory liver diseases.
