Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may soon become the leading cause of end-stage liver disease worldwide with limited treatment options. Liver fibrosis, which is driven by chronic inflammation and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, critically determines morbidity and mortality in patients with NASH. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is involved in immune activation and inflammatory liver diseases; however, its role and therapeutic potential in NASH-related fibrosis remain largely unexplored. Bioinformatics screening and analysis of human and murine NASH livers indicated that PKM2 was upregulated in nonparenchymal cells (NPCs), especially macrophages, in the livers of patients with fibrotic NASH. Macrophage-specific PKM2 knockout (PKM2FL/FLLysM-Cre) significantly ameliorated hepatic inflammation and fibrosis severity in three distinct NASH models induced by a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet, a high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet, and a western diet plus weekly carbon tetrachloride injection (WD/CCl4). Single-cell transcriptomic analysis indicated that deletion of PKM2 in macrophages reduced profibrotic Ly6Chigh macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, PKM2-dependent glycolysis promoted NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) activation in proinflammatory macrophages, which induced HSC activation and fibrogenesis. A pharmacological PKM2 agonist efficiently attenuated the profibrotic crosstalk between macrophages and HSCs in vitro and in vivo. Translationally, ablation of PKM2 in NPCs by cholesterol-conjugated heteroduplex oligonucleotides, representing a novel oligonucleotide drug that preferentially accumulates in the liver, dose-dependently reversed NASH-related fibrosis without causing observable hepatotoxicity. The present study highlights the pivotal role of macrophage PKM2 in advancing NASH fibrogenesis. Thus, therapeutic modulation of PKM2 in a macrophage-specific or liver-specific manner may serve as a novel strategy to combat NASH-related fibrosis.
