الوصف: Chitinase-3-like 1 protein (CHI3L1) is a secreted glycoprotein, strongly correlated with fibrosis severity in chronic liver diseases including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the mechanisms by which CHI3L1 contributes to fibrogenesis remain undefined. Here, we showed that infiltrating monocyte-derived liver macrophages represent the main source of CHI3L1 in murine NASH. We developed a floxed CHI3L1 knock-out (KO) mouse to further study the cell-specific role of CHI3L1 ablation. Wildtype (WT) and myeloid cell-specific CHI3L1 KO mice (CreLyz) were challenged with a highly inflammatory and fibrotic dietary model of NASH by administering choline-deficient high-fat diet for 10weeks. Macrophage accumulation and inflammatory cell recruitment were significantly ameliorated in the CreLyz group compared to WT (F4/80 IHC p < 0.0001, CD11b IHC p < 0.0001). Additionally, hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and fibrosis were strongly decreased in this group (α-SMA IHC p < 0.0001, picrosirius red staining p < 0.0001). In vitro studies were performed stimulating bone marrow derived macrophages, THP-1 (human monocytes) and LX2 (human HSCs) cells with recombinant CHI3L1 to dissect its relationship with fibrosis development. Results showed an important role of CHI3L1 regulating fibrosis-promoting factors by macrophages (TGFB1 p < 0.05, CTGF p < 0.01) while directly activating HSCs (ACTA2 p < 0.01, COL1A1 p < 0.01), involving IL13Rα2 as the potential mediator. Our findings uncovered a novel role of CHI3L1 derived from liver macrophages in NASH progression and identifies this protein as a potential anti-fibrotic therapeutic target. KEY MESSAGES: We showed that CHI3L1 expression is increased in murine CDAA-HFAT diet NASH model, and that infiltrating macrophages are a key source of CHI3L1 production. Myeloid cell-specific CreLyz CHI3L1 knock-out in mice fed with CDAA-HFAT diet improved the NASH phenotype, with significantly reduced accumulation of pro-inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils ...
