Abstract

Effective, targeted therapy for chronic liver disease nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is imminent. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a potential therapeutic target, and natural products that regulate miRNA expression may be a safe and effective treatment strategy for liver disease. Here, we investigated the functional role of miR-451 and the therapeutic effects of genistein in the NASH mouse model. MiR-451 was downregulated in various types of liver inflammation, and subsequent experiments showed that miR-451 regulates liver inflammation via IL1β. Genistein is a phytoestrogen with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Interestingly, we found that the anti-inflammatory effects of genistein were related to miR-451 and was partially antagonized by the miR-451 inhibitor. MiR-451 overexpression or genistein treatment inhibited IL1β expression and inflammation. Taken together, this study shows that miR-451 has a protective effect on hepatic inflammation, and genistein can be used as a natural promoter of miR-451 to ameliorate NASH.
