abstract = {During perinatal development, liver metabolism is tightly
regulated to ensure energy supply for the newborn. Before
birth, glycogen is stored in hepatocytes and later
metabolized to glucose, meeting neonatal energy demands.
Shortly after birth, lipogenesis begins, driven by
transcriptional activation of enzymes involved in fatty acid
oxidation. These processes are thought to be largely
regulated by systemic insulin and glucagon levels. However,
the role of liver-derived local factors in neonatal
hepatocyte metabolism remains unexplored. Kupffer cells
(KCs), the liver's resident macrophages, colonize the fetal
liver early in embryogenesis and support liver metabolism in
adulthood. Yet whether KCs influence neonatal hepatocyte
metabolism is unknown. Using conditional knockout mouse
models targeting macrophages, we demonstrate that yolk
sac-derived KCs play a crucial role in hepatocyte glycogen
storage and function by regulating the tricarboxylic acid
cycle, a role monocyte-derived KC-like cells cannot
substitute. Newborn pups lacking yolk sac-derived KCs
mobilize glycogen more rapidly, a process in part regulated
by insulin-like growth factor 1 (Igf1) production. Our
findings identify KCs as major source of Igf1, with local
production essential for balanced hepatocyte metabolism at
birth.},
