2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in humans and elicits pathologies in rodents that resemble non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in humans through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway. Dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis, an aspect of MetS, is linked to NAFLD pathogenesis. TCDD exposure is also linked to the suppression of genes that encode key cholesterol biosynthesis steps and changes in serum cholesterol levels. In a previous experiment, treating mice with TCDD in the presence of simvastatin, a 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase competitive inhibitor, altered lipid and glycogen levels, AHR-battery gene expression, and liver injury in male mice compared to TCDD alone. The aim of this study was to deduce a possible mechanism(s) for the metabolic changes and increased injury using single-nuclei RNA sequencing in mouse liver. We demonstrated that co-treated mice experienced wasting and increased AHR activation compared to TCDD alone. Furthermore, relative proportions of cell (sub)types were different between TCDD alone and co-treated mice including important mediators of NAFLD progression like hepatocytes and immune cell populations. Analysis of non-overlapping differentially expressed genes identified several pathways where simvastatin co-treatment significantly impacted TCDD-induced changes, which may explain the differences between treatments. Overall, these results demonstrate a connection between dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis and toxicant-induced metabolic changes.
