This study revealed that patients with NASH are more susceptible to developing HCC when accompanied by IBD, with severe steatohepatitis and mild colitis being essential factors for the occurrence of HCC.
The number of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing. This study elucidates the effect of both NASH and IBD on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a mouse model combining NASH and IBD. The melanocortin 4 receptor-deficient (Mc4r-KO) mice were divided into four groups with or without a high-fat diet (HFD) and with or without dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to induce colitis, and the differences in liver damage and occurrence of HCC were analyzed. In the HFD + DSS group, the body weight, liver weight/body weight ratio, and serum levels of albumin and alanine aminotransferase were significantly lower than those in the HFD group. We further found that steatosis was significantly lower and lobular inflammation was significantly higher in the HFD + DSS group than those in the HFD group, and that individual steatosis and lobular inflammation state in the HFD + DSS mice varied. We detected HCC only in the HFD + DSS group, and mice with severe steatosis and mild colitis were found to be at high risk of HCC. Presently, the prediction of HCC is very difficult. In some cases, severe colitis reverses the fat accumulation due to appetite loss. Our findings clearly showed that severe steatohepatitis and mild colitis are simultaneously essential for the occurrence of HCC in patients with NASH and IBD. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc.
