| Project Title: | Bempedoic acid suppresses diet-induced hepatic steatosis independent of ACLY |
| Project Summary: | ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) synthesizes acetyl-CoA for de novo lipogenesis (DNL), which is elevated in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Hepatic ACLY is inhibited by the LDL-cholesterol lowering drug bempedoic acid (BPA), which also improves steatosis in mice. Indeed, BPA potently suppresses hepatic DNL and increases fat catabolism. However, it is unclear if ACLY is the relevant molecular target in reducing liver triglyceride, particularly since the acetyl-CoA synthetase ACSS2 can compensate for ACLY deficiency to provision acetyl-CoA for DNL. We show that on a Western diet, loss of hepatic ACLY alone or ACLY and ACSS2 together unexpectedly exacerbates steatosis, linked to reduced hepatic abundance of endogenous PPAR ligands and lower expression of PPAR target genes controlling fatty acid oxidation. Importantly, BPA treatment ameliorates WD-mediated triglyceride accumulation in both WT and liver ACLY knockout mice, indicating that its primary effects on hepatic lipid metabolism are independent of ACLY. Together, these data indicate that hepatic ACLY plays an unexpected role in restraining diet-dependent lipid accumulation, and that BPA improves steatosis independent of ACLY. |
