FGF4 protects the liver from immune-mediated injury by activating CaMKKβ-PINK1 signal pathway to inhibit hepatocellular apoptosis

Immune-mediated liver injury(ILI)is a condition where an aberrant immune response due to various triggers causes the destruction of hepatocytes.Fibroblast growth factor 4(FGF4)was recently identified as a hepatoprotective cytokine;however,its role in ILI remains unclear.In patients with auto-immune hepatitis(type of ILI)and mouse models of concanavalin A(ConA)-or S-100-induced ILI,we observed a biphasic pattern in hepatic FGF4 expression,characterized by an initial increase followed by a return to basal levels.Hepatic FGF4 deficiency activated the mitochondria-associated intrinsic apoptotic pathway,aggravating hepatocellular apoptosis.This led to intrahepatic immune hyper-reactivity,inflammation accentuation,and subsequent liver injury in both ILI models.Conversely,administration of recombinant FGF4 reduced hepatocellular apoptosis and rectified immune imbalance,thereby mitigating liver damage.The beneficial effects of FGF4 were mediated by hepatocellular FGF receptor 4,which activated the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinasekinase 2(CaMKKβ)and its downstream phos-phatase and tensin homologue-induced putative kinase 1(PINK1)-dependent B-cell lymphoma 2-like protein 1-isoform L(Bcl-XL)signalling axis in the mitochondria.Hence,FGF4 serves as an early response factor and plays a protective role against ILI,suggesting a therapeutic potential of FGF4 and its analogue for treating clinical immune disorder-related liver injuries.
