Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent progressive liver disease. Currently, there is only one drug for NAFLD treatment, and the options are limited. Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitors have potential in treating NAFLD. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of roflumilast on NAFLD. Here, we fed ob/ob mice to induce the NAFLD model by GAN diet. Roflumilast (1 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily. Semaglutide (20 nmol/kg), used as a positive control, was injected subcutaneously once daily. Our findings showed that roflumilast has beneficial effects on NAFLD. Roflumilast prevented body weight gain and improved lipid metabolism in ob/ob-GAN NAFLD mice. In addition, roflumilast decreased hepatic steatosis by down-regulating the expression of hepatic fatty acid synthesis genes (SREBP1c, FASN, and CD36) and improving oxidative stress. Roflumilast not only reduced liver injury by decreasing serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, but also ameliorated hepatic inflammation by reducing the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6). Roflumilast lessened liver fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of fibrosis mRNA (TGFβ1, α-SMA, COL1a1, and TIMP-1). Collectively, roflumilast could ameliorate NAFLD, especially in reducing hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. Our findings suggested a PDE-4 inhibitor roflumilast could be a potential drug for NAFLD.
