Foxl1-Cre-marked Adult Hepatic Progenitors Have Clonogenic and Bi-Lineage Differentiation Potential - Time Course

ABSTRACT: The winged helix transcription factor Foxl1 is a marker for progenitor cells and their descendants in the mouse liver in vivo. Here, we purify progenitor cells from Foxl1-Cre; RosaYFP mice and evaluate their proliferative and differentiation potential in vitro. Treatment of Foxl1-Cre; RosaYFP mice with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine diet led to an increase of the percentage of YFP-labeled Foxl1+ cells. Clonogenic assays demonstrated that up to 3.6% of Foxl1+ cells had proliferative potential. Foxl1+ cells differentiated into cholangiocytes and into hepatocytes in vitro, depending on the culture condition employed. Microarray analyses indicated that Foxl1+ cells express stem cell markers such as Prom1 as well as differentiation markers such as Ck19 and Hnf4a. Thus, the Foxl1-Cre; RosaYFP model allows for easy isolation of adult hepatic progenitor cells that can be expanded and differentiated in culture. There were 26 samples used in the analysis. Typically 4 replicates for each of 7 conditions, except for two condtions which had only 3 replicates. Day 0 samples are non-parenchymal cells without DDC treatment. YFP_pos samples are YFP-expressing non-parenchymal cells induced by Foxl1-CRE after 3, 7 or 14 days of DDC treatment. YFP_neg samples are analogous but do not expressed YFP.

Isolation of hepatic progenitor cells is a promising approach for cell replacement therapy of chronic liver disease. The winged helix transcription factor Foxl1 is a marker for progenitor cells and their descendants in the mouse liver in vivo. Here, we purify progenitor cells from Foxl1-Cre; RosaYFP mice and evaluate their proliferative and differentiation potential in vitro.

Project description:We previously showed that severe liver diseases are characterized by expansion of liver progenitor cells (LPC), which correlates with disease severity. However, the origin and role of LPC in liver physiology and in the hepatic response to injury remains a contentious topic. We have now used genetic lineage tracing of Hnf1Î²-expressing biliary duct cells to assess their contribution to LPC expansion and hepatocyte generation during normal liver homeostasis, and following different types of liver injury. We found that ductular reaction cells in human cirrhotic livers express HNF1Î². However, HNF1Î² expression was not present in newly generated EpCAM-positive hepatocytes. Using a tamoxifen-inducible Hnf1Î²CreER/R26RYFP/LacZ mouse, we show that there is no contribution of the biliary epithelium to hepatocyte turnover during liver homeostasis in healthy mice. Moreover, after loss of liver mass, Hnf1Î²+ LPC did not contribute to hepatocyte regeneration. We also assessed the contribution of Hnf1Î²+ cells following acute and repeated liver injury. All animal models showed expansion of LPC, as assessed by immunostaining and gene expression profile of sorted YFP-positive cells. A contribution of Hnf1Î²+ LPC to hepatocyte generation was not detected in animal models of liver injury with preserved hepatocyte regenerative potential such as acute acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride injury, or chronic diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-collidin (DDC)-diet. However, in mice fed with choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented (CDE)-diet, which causes profound hepatocyte damage and arrest, a small number of hepatocytes were derived from Hnf1Î²+ cells. Conclusion: Hnf1Î²+ cells do not participate in hepatocyte turnover in the healthy liver or during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. After liver injury, LPC arise from the biliary duct epithelium, which gives rise to a limited number of hepatocytes only when hepatocyte regeneration is compromised.

Project description:S23 experiment: We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) enriched in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E11.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) from E11.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative enrichment of miRNAs in the YFP+ population by miRNA microarray. 220 experiment: We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) enriched in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E10.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) from E10.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative enrichment of miRNAs in the YFP+ population by miRNA microarray. 221 experiment: Our research has shown that heterozygous deletion of the miRNA processing enzyme Dicer leads to developmental delay of the thymus in mouse embryos. We sought to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) affected by the loss of a single copy of Dicer in the neural crest cell (NCC) population from E10.5 mouse embryos. To accomplish this, we utilized a transgenic mouse line harboring a floxed allele of Dicer, Cre-recombinase under the control of the Wnt1 NCC-specific promoter, and also carrying the R26R-YFP allele. We sorted YFP+ (NCCs) cells from E10.5 Dicerfl/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R and Dicer+/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R mouse embryos via FACS and compared the relative expression of miRNAs in the Dicer-heterozygotes compared to Dicer-wildtypes by miRNA microarray. S23 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E11.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from five E11.5 embryos were sorted into YFP+ and YFP- populations and pooled. 220 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) and YFP- (non-NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E10.5 Wnt1Cre-R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from ten E10.5 embryos were sorted into YFP+ and YFP- populations and pooled. 221 experiment: RNA from YFP+ (NCCs) cells sorted by FACS from E10.5 Dicerfl/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R and Dicer+/+,Wnt1Cre,R26R mouse embryos was isolated and hybridized to Exiqon miRNA microarrays v10. Cells from ten embryos were sorted into YFP+ populations and pooled for each genotype.
