説明
Elevated free fatty acids, particularly saturated ones such as palmitic acid, may play an important role in the lipotoxic mechanism of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Saturated fatty acids induce autophagy dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress leading to apoptosis in hepatocytes. However, unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, are nontoxic and can even prevent saturated fatty acid-induced toxicity in vitro. Although emerging evidence has suggested that ER calcium flux disruption in hepatocytes is involved in NAFLD pathogenesis, the roles of fatty acids in autophagy and ER calcium flux still remain unclear. We demonstrated that oleic acid ameliorated palmitic acid-induced autophagy arrest and ER stress in parallel with ER calcium depletion in hepatocytes. Moreover, we found that the effect of oleic acid against autophagy arrest was reversed by the pharmacological inhibition of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca
