Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is multifactorial that lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors contribute to its onset and progression, thereby posing a challenge for therapeutic intervention. Nanoplastic (NP) is emerged as a novel environmental metabolism disruptor but the etiopathogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, C57BL/6 J mice were fed with normal chow diet (NCD) and high-fat diet (HFD) containing 70 nm polystyrene microspheres (NP). We found that dietary-derived NP adsorbed proteins and agglomerated during the in vivo transportation, enabling diet-induced hepatic steatosis to NASH. Mechanistically, NP promoted liver steatosis by upregulating Fatp2. Furthermore, NP stabilized the Ip3r1, and facilitated ER-mitochondria contacts (MAMs) assembly in the hepatocytes, resulting in mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and redox imbalance. The redox-sensitive Nrf2 was decreased in the liver of NP-exposed mice, which positively regulated miR26a via direct binding to its promoter region [-970 bp to -847 bp and -318 bp to -176 bp]. NP decreased miR26a simultaneously upregulated 10 genes involved in MAMs formation, lipid uptake, inflammation, and fibrosis. Moreover, miR26a inhibition elevated MAMs-tether Vdac1, which promoted the nucleus translocation of NF-κB P65 and Keap1 and functionally inactivated Nrf2, leading to a vicious cycle. Hepatocyte-specific overexpressing miR26a effectively restored ER-mitochondria miscommunication and ameliorated NASH phenotype in NP-exposed and Keap1-overexpressed mice on HFD. The hepatic MAM-tethers/Nrf2/miR26a feedback loop is an essential metabolic switch from simple steatosis to NASH and a promising therapeutic target for oxidative stress-associated liver damage and NASH.
