Activation of the adiponectin (APN) signaling axis retards liver fibrosis. However, understanding of the role of AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 in mediating this response is still rudimentary. Here, we sought to elucidate the APN receptor responsible for limiting liver fibrosis by employing AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 knock-out mice in the carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) model of liver fibrosis. In addition, we knocked down receptor function in primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in vitro. Following the development of fibrosis, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 KO mice had no quantitative difference in fibrosis by Sirius red staining. However, AdipoR2 KO mice had an enhanced fibrotic signature with increased Col1-α1, TGFß-1, TIMP-1, IL-10, MMP-2 and MMP-9. Knockdown of AdipoR1 or AdipoR2 in HSCs followed by APN treatment demonstrated that AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 did not affect proliferation or TIMP-1 gene expression, while AdipoR2 modulated Col1-α1 and α-SMA gene expression, HSC migration, and AMPK activity. These finding suggest that AdipoR2 is the major APN receptor on HSCs responsible for mediating its anti-fibrotic effects.
