We report for the first time that in wild-type (WT) mice, fast-food diet (FFD) induced a threefold increase in hepatic Sulf2 mRNA and a 2.2-fold increase in sulfatase 2 (SULF2) protein expression compared with WT mice on standard chow diet (SC). We showed that knockout of SULF2 ameliorates FFD-induced obesity, hyperlipidemia, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis. These data, along with work from other laboratories, suggest that SULF2 may be critical to the ability of the liver to progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and fibrosis in conditions of overnutrition.
