Nonalcoholic fatty liver, but not nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is a protective factor to tetrachloroethylene-associated kidney effects in male C57BL/6J mice

Purpose: We investigated the tetrachloroethylene associated changes in kidney transcriptomes among healthy mice, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease mice, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis mice. Overall design: Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a low-fat diet (4% fat), high-fat diet (31% fat), or methionine/choline/folate deficient diet. Following an 8-week diet, mice were administered either a single dose of tetrachloroethylene (PERC, 300 mg/kg/d in 5% Alkamuls-EL620 in saline, 5 mL/kg) and euthanized at 24 hours post dose, or five consecutive daily doses of PERC or vehicle (n=8/diet/treatment) and euthanized at 4hours post dose. The harvested kidneys were subjected to mRNA sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2500. Jac-NASH-063 was excluded from analysis because it did not have a good yield.
