Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses a range of conditions, including simple steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma1,2,3,4,5,6, all attributed to factors other than alcohol consuption7. MASLD is the most prevalent liver disease caused by metabolic liver injury, affecting nearly one-quarter of the global population8,9,10,11,12. While the precise pathogenesis of MASLD has not yet been elucidated, various theories attempt to explain its development. One prevailing notion suggests a departure from the classic &#34;two-hit&#34; theory towards a &#34;multiple-hit&#34; model1. Central to these hypotheses is the role of insulin resistance, which is believed to be pivotal in MASLD pathogenesis13. Research indicates that insulin resistance in hepatocytes leads to increased levels of free fatty acids, subsequently forming triglycerides stored within the liver14,15.
Researchers have used both in vivo and in vitro models to simulate fat deposition in MASLD; yet fully replicating its pathomechanism remains challenging. Despite this limitation, these models have been instrumental in studying potential therapeutic targets for MASLD. However, the development of a stable model of MASLD is crucial. While animal models are effective, they are time-consuming and expensive, thus highlighting the growing interest in in vitro cellular models. These models often use single or multiple free fatty acids such as oleic acid (OA) and palmitic acid to recreate diet-induced MASLD. Among these, the human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 is often used to establish in vitro cellular models of MASLD.
OA induction stimulates HepG2 cells to replicate fatty deposition akin to MASLD, a method with a well-established history. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the viability, Oil Red O (ORO) staining, lipid content, and triglyceride (TG) level of HepG2 cells treated with 0.25 mM OA. The objective of this experiment was to provide further evidence for the development of MAFLD modeling studies.

In Vitro Modeling of Fat Deposition in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has surged due to changes in economic and lifestyle patterns, leading to significant health challenges. Previous reports have studied the establishment of animal and cellular models for MASLD, highlighting differences between them. In this study, a cellular model was created by inducing fat accumulation in MASLD. HepG2 cells were stimulated with the unsaturated fatty acid oleic acid at various concentrations (0.125 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM) to emulate MASLD. The model&#39;s efficacy was assessed using cell counting kit-8 assays, Oil Red O staining, and lipid content analysis. This study aimed to create a simple-to-operate cellular model for MASLD cells. Results from the cell counting kit-8 assays showed that the survival of HepG2 cells was dependent on the concentration of oleic acid, with a GI50 of 1.875 mM. Cell viability in the 0.5 mM and 1 mM groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P &#60; 0.05). Furthermore, Oil Red O staining and lipid content analysis examined fat deposition at varying oleic acid concentrations (0.125 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM) on HepG2 cells. The lipid content of the 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, and 1 mM groups was significantly higher than that of the control group (P &#60; 0.05). Additionally, triglyceride levels in the OA groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P &#60; 0.05).
