Omics-based Predictors of NAFLD/Potential NASH
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The cascade of care for the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) requires crossing the barriers for their diagnosis and treatment. The multifactorial nature of NAFLD/NASH limits their diagnosis by a single factor solely. This project aimed at developing a powerful composite marker panel based on multi-omics technologies to detect NAFLD without or with fibrosis (potential for NASH) in high-risk populations (obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertensive, dyslipidemia). This project is an exploratory study to unrevealing the intra-heterogeneity and inter-similarities of NAFLD without and with fibrosis versus those of healthy individuals. The molecular and clinical characteristics of 450 participants (225 adults aged 30-60 years and 225 children aged 12 -18 years) will be investigated; 150 NAFLD patients without, 150 NAFLD patients with fibrosis (potential NASH) compared to 150 healthy individuals. Detection of genetic polymorphism of SNP of 10 gene variants involved with NAFLD without and with fibrosis, gene discovery and molecular diagnosis of dyslipidemia using next-generation sequencing and whole-exome sequencing (genomics), the expression level for the top 5 of 168-panel genes of plasma miRNAs (epi-genomics), the glycosylation pattern of five glycoproteins (proteomics), salivary analysis of ten microbiomes and five microbial-related metabolites (metabolomics) will be investigated. Eventually, the development of precision therapies to target NAFLD without and with fibrosis and possibly reverse fibrosis could be achieved.

Detailed Description
The national treatment program intended to provide a cure for Egyptian HCV-infected patients was the sparking light toward an HCV-free and healthy liver among the Egyptian population. However, another rapidly evolving liver disease has been emerging with an increase in both mortality and morbidity, and an estimated prevalence of 25-35% across the globe; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The highest rate of NAFLD is reported from the Middle East (32%). The prevalence of NAFLD in the general population increases with age; from 3% in children, 5% in teenagers, 18% between 20 and 40 years, 39% in those aged 40 to 50 years, and to over 40% in those greater than 70 years.
NAFLD is a metabolic disorder, whose spectrum progresses from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis, potentially leading to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver failure. Accordingly, NASH is considered a severe form of NAFLD. Given the association between NAFLD and the growing global epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes, sedentary lifestyles, dyslipidemia, and unhealthy dietary patterns, the prevalence of NAFLD is expected to increase. Therefore, NAFLD is a major clinical and economic burden on the world's healthcare systems.
Although liver biopsy is the reference standard for the assessment of fibrosis associated with NASH, the inherent limitations of an invasive procedure, and the need for repeat sampling, have led to the development of several non-invasive tests (NITs) as alternatives to liver biopsy. The current NITs were used for the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis in patients with NAFLD (5), Such NITs mostly include biological (serum biomarker algorithms) or physical (imaging assessment of tissue stiffness) assessments. However, currently available NITs have several limitations, such as variability, inadequate accuracy, and risk factors for error. The current NITs were used not only to diagnose significant fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C but also the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis in patients with NAFLD/NASH.
In low-resource countries, despite the high prevalence of NAFLD and that its early stages are reversible with diet and lifestyle modifications, the availability of NITs is likely to be limited, especially the more expensive imaging-based tests. Blood-based biomarkers are therefore attractive, but those available to date have only moderate diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, only a minority of NAFLD cases are diagnosed and correctly treated as detecting early stages is hindered by a lack of non-invasive reliable, and validated methods of early diagnosis. In addition, there are few options available for the management of NASH and no current FDA-approved therapies for NAFLD.
To date, the pathogenesis of NAFLD is not fully clarified. NAFLD is thought to be involved in complex interactions among diet, genetic susceptibility, and gut microbiota (6). At the same time, the role of gut microbiota and microbial metabolites in NAFLD has attracted more attention. Gut microbiota regulates the development and progression of NAFLD on the basis of the gut-liver axis. Future targeted treatment strategies based on the pathogenic pathways are accordingly needed to develop an effective treatment for patients with NASH.
Broadly speaking, the scientific fields associated with measuring the biological molecules in a high-throughput way are called "omics". Although, ongoing technological advances in omics technologies such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics hold great promise for the discovery of useful non-invasive biomarkers and increased pathophysiological understanding of NAFLD and NASH diagnosis, prognosis, and drug response. The majority applied one omics technique. Advances in human genetics present new opportunities to address the urgent need for NASH therapeutics, based on an improved understanding of the interaction between the genetic and environmental risk factors for the development of NASH. MicroRNAs (miRNAs were reported to be closely related to NAFLD by targeting genes involved in lipid metabolism and pro-inflammatory factors which are related to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. In addition, many glycoproteins have been linked with the diagnosis of liver disorders given that the majority of serum glycoproteins are synthesized in the liver. Unfortunately, a few pioneering studies have successfully applied multi-omics technologies to investigate NAFLD/NASH, none of which was done among the Egyptian population.
The investigators aimed at developing a multi-omics composite predictive biomarker panel to be used as an Egyptian scoring system to improve the predictive power of the diagnosis of NAFLD and limit its progression to NASH, compared with the traditional markers that usually focus on a single aspect of the disease. Such predictive biomarkers can also benefit the clinical management of NAFLD to limit its progression to NASH.
