leading to the development of fatty liver&#46; The underlying reason may be that leptin secretion declines during NASH&#44; which suppresses the JAK2-STAT3 signalling pathway and increases fat synthesis&#44;

Blood analyses indicated that interference of HGF expression using siRNA in NASH mice is deleterious for the recovery of liver functions&#46;</p><p id="p0140" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">RNA interference experiments revealed that injection of HGF-specific siRNA inhibited the signalling downstream of the HGF receptor &#40;c-Met&#41;&#44; and reduced the expression of c-met&#44; jak2&#44; and stat3&#46; IL-6&#44; the key cytokine stimulus of JAK2-STAT3&#44; is over-expressed in NASH model mice&#44; and IL-6 levels in groups B&#44; D&#44;

These observations suggest a context- or microenvironmentdependent role for activation of the IL-6-JAK-STAT3 signalling pathway in the regulation of NASH&#46;</p><p id="p0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Leptin is the main regulator of fat stores&#46; Through its interaction with JAK2-STAT3&#44; it causes various biological effects&#44; such as decreasing TG levels&#44; elevating the insulin sensitivity of the liver and peripheral tissues&#44; and reducing fat deposition&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19</span></a> In our study&#44; administration of HGF in NASH mice increased TG levels&#44; whereas inhibition of HGF decreased TG levels&#46; This suggests that the ameliorating effect of rhHGF on NASH was related to the JAKSTAT3 signalling pathway&#46;</p><p id="p0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">STAT3 is widely expressed in different types of cells and tissues&#44; where it participates in various physiological functions&#44; such as cell growth&#44; transformation&#44; and apoptosis regulation&#46; JAK2-STAT3 is common pathway for the transduction of numerous inflammatory factor signals&#44; and phosphorylated JAK2 is the main factor promoting STAT3 phosphorylation&#46; Activation of gp130-STAT3 in the development of NAFLD can be effective against fat stress&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20</span></a> JAK2 and STAT3 were significantly expressed in NASH mice&#44; as shown by RT-PCR&#44; and these data were confirmed at the protein level&#46; The specificity of these effects for the JAK2-STAT3 pathway was confirmed by the administration of the JAK2 blocker AZD1480&#46; This implies that HGF&#47;c-Met signalling&#44; which is upstream of the JAK2-STAT3 pathway&#44; has a corresponding biological effect through other signalling pathways&#46; This result is consistent with the findings of Toshikazun&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> Furthermore&#44; administration of AZD1480 induced a decrease in JAK2 protein and phosphorylation levels&#44; leading to a decrease in STAT3 phosphorylation levels and inhibition of the JAK2-STAT3 pathway signalling and inhibition of corresponding biological functions&#46; Our results indicate that administration of exogenous HGF can increase the levels of its specific ligand c-Met&#44; activate the HGF&#47;c-Met system&#44; promote phosphorylation of JAK2-STAT3 signalling pathway components&#44; and increase gene and protein levels&#46; Blocking the HGF receptor c-Met or silencing HGF can decrease c-Met&#44; JAK2&#44; and STAT3 gene and protein levels&#46; This suggests that the JAK2-STAT3 pathway plays a critical role in the ameliorating effect of rhHGF on NASH&#46; These results confirm that over-expression of HGF&#44; combined with its ligand c-Met&#44; can promote the phosphorylation of JAK2-STAT3&#44; and through JAK2-STAT3 phosphorylation and signalling&#44; NASH inflammation was effectively inhibited&#46;</p><p id="p0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is important to note that HGF&#47;c-Met signalling is crucial for normal embryonic development and adult tissue repair in mammals&#44;

IL-10 -&#47;mice displayed greater liver inflammatory response but less steatosis after HFD feeding&#44; and inflammation-associated IL-6 &#47; STAT3 activation contributes to the reduced steatosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> In addition&#44; the systemic levels of TNF-&#945; increased&#44; while IL-10 decreased in accordance with the severity of NAFLD&#44; which supports a role for systemic inflammatory mediators in promoting steatosis progression&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25</span></a> The potential mechanisms involved in the antihepatitis properties of HGF have been identified&#46; Reciprocal regulation of cytokine profiles by HGF&#44; that is the suppression of proinflammatory cytokines and induction of antiinflammatory cytokines&#44; has also been reported in animal models of endotoxemia&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26</span></a> cardiac allograft transplantation<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">27</span></a>&#46; In those studies&#44; HGF suppressed proinflammatory cytokines&#44; including MCP-1&#44; IL-6&#44; IL-1&#946;&#44; and interferon-&#947;&#44; and it induced anti-inflammatory IL-10&#46; More importantly&#44; increasing HGF expression upregulates IL-10 in liver injury&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> It could be excess HGF upregulate IL-10&#44;

High levels of HGF alleviate the predisposing factors of liver steatosis&#44; and consequently protect the host from NASH&#46; These effects were accompanied by activation of the JAK2-STAT3 signalling pathway and inhibition of the inflammatory response in NASH&#46; The results of this study suggest clinical trials aimed at targeting HGF in patients with NASH&#46; However&#44; further studies are required to elucidate the precise mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of HGF on NASH&#46;</p></span><span id="s0085" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0095">Abbreviations</span><p id="p0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><ul class="elsevierStyleList" id="l0010"><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0015"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">ALT&#58;</span> alanine aminotransferase&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0020"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">AST&#58;</span> aspartate transaminase&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0025"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">HGF&#58;</span> hepatocyte growth factor&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0030"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">NASH&#58;</span> non-alcoholic steatohepatitis</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0035"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">c-Met&#58;</span> mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0040"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">FBG&#58;</span> fasting blood-glucose&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0045"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">HFD&#58;</span> high-fat diet&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0050"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">JAK2&#58;</span> janus-activated kinase2&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0055"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">NAFLD&#58;</span> Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0060"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">STAT3&#58;</span> signal transduction and activator of transcription3&#46;</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="u0065"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">&#8226;</span><p id="p0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">TG&#58;</span> triglyceride&#46;</p></li></ul></p></span><span id="s0090" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="st0100">Financial Support</span><p id="p0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This work was supported by the Health and Family Planning Commission Foundation of Shanxi Province&#44;
