Modulation of Cell Death and Survival by Adipokines in the Liver

Abstract: Adipokines, hormones predominantly produced from adipose tissue, have been shown to impart dynamic functions in the liver. Emerging evidence has shown that adipokines are also involved in modulating liver cell survival and/or death. Among the various adipokines, adiponectin and leptin directly regulate proliferation of hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and hepatic stellate cells. Moreover, these adipokines control apoptosis and cell cycle of hepatic cancer cells in a complex manner. Adiponectin possesses both pro-an… Show more

“…Both DAPK1 activation and TTP induction are involved in autophagy activation via the modulation of Beclin-1 and Bcl-2 protein interaction, which inhibits LPS-primed inflammatory cytokines expression regulation of autophagy induction, and inhibition of such an interaction is a plausible mechanism for the initiation of autophagy. Emerging evidence suggests that autophagy induction plays a crucial role in mediating many physiological responses induced by adiponectin (Nepal and Park, 2015). However, its underlying molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood.…”

“…Ectopic overexpression of adiponectin increased proliferation, invasion, as well as the expression of downstream genes (cyclin D1 and β-catenin) in Hep3B and HepG2 cells (16). However, adiponectin also showed dual molecular functions of anti-inflammatory, pro-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and apoptosis induction effects (25, 26). A deeper exploration of the functional networks in hepatocarcinogenesis and progression can help to further understand the complex role of adiponectin as a tumor suppressor or promoter.…”

“…These cells become activated upon liver injury and start to proliferate and produce extracellular matrix proteins. Adiponectin reduces hepatic stellate cell activation, proliferation and survival [ 43 , 44 ]. Connective tissue growth factor is one of the profibrotic cytokines released by hepatocytes and is reduced by adiponectin [ 45 ].…”

“…Various review articles have been published summarizing the inflammatory and profibrogenic effects of leptin in the liver [ 44 , 46 , 110 ]. Therefore, these issues are not further addressed herein.…”
