Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we investigated the role of innate immune responses in metabolic steatohepatitis (MetSH), and evaluate the protective effect of amino acid on MetSH.In MetSH model KK-Ay mice, glycine ameliorated glucose intolerance, accompanied with changes in gut microbiota. Progressive depletion of hepatic NK and NKT cells, in combination with increases in myeloid suppressor cells, were observed in hepatocyte-specific Pten-KO mice, which spontaneously develop steatohepatitis and hepatocellular adenoma/carcinoma upon aging. Glycine also prevented steatohepatitis and tumorigenesis in Pten-KO mice. These findings clearly indicated that pharmaco-nutritional approach utilizing glycine is promising for prevention and treatment of MetSH including MetSH-related carcinogenesis.
