Comparison of Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha developmental and temporal knockout mice

ABSTRACT: The goal of this experiment was to distinguish those genes regulated following acute HNF4alpha depletion compared to a developmental knockout model where gene compensation may comfound results. Expression profile of livers from 8 week old male Hnf4alpha Flox mice that express either albumin cre or the tamoxifen inducible ErT2-albumin cre for liver-specific deletion. Mice were fed a control diet or tamoxifen diet in the case of the ErT2-albumin cre to induce recombination. Six-condition experiment, H4N vs H4T vs H4EN vs H4ET vs H4CN vs H4CP. Biological replicates: 4 samples each group.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) regulates genes involved in lipid and bile acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, and blood coagulation. In addition to its metabolic role, HNF4α is critical for hepatocyte differentiation, and loss of HNF4α is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. The hepatocyte-specific Hnf4a knock-out mouse develops severe hepatomegaly and steatosis resulting in premature death, thereby limiting studies of the role of this transcription factor in the a ...[more]

Project description:Background: Genetic elimination of c-Met signaling in the liver has been shown to impact many cellular pathways involved in repair, regeneration, lipid homeostasis and redox balance. In this study, we analyzed a nutritional model of hepatic steatosis in Met fl/fl ; Alb-Cre +/- (MetKO) mice in a 129SV/C57BL/6 background fed a high cholesterol diet for 30 days. Methods: Liver injury was determined by histopathology and plasma enzymes, transcriptomic changes were examined using gene expression microarrays, and evaluation of key molecules involved in liver damage and lipid homestasis were evaluated by Western blot analysis. Results: We observed that in comparison with wild type mice subjected to the same diet, MetKO mice developed a strong liver lipid deposition, inflammatory infiltration and increment in total bile acids synthesis and liver damage markers. Global transcriptomic changes analysis confirmed the steatosis and cholestasis induced by the high cholesterol diet. In addition, we found affected pathways related to amino acids, glutathione and lipid metabolism, oxidative stress and mitochondria dysfunction. Oxidative stress exacerbation was corroborated by lipid and protein oxidation in liver tissue. To address further, Western blot studies revealed downregulation on Erk, NF-kB and Nrf2 survival pathways and target genes (cyclin D1, SOD1, gamma-GCS), an increment in proapoptotic proteins (p53, caspase 3) and changes in nuclear receptors such as RAR and RXR, which were increased, and CAR, FXR and PPAR alfa, which were decreased, in the MetKO diet. These results are in agreement with the steatosis and cholestasis phenotype. Conclusion: Our data provide evidence of c-Met signaling involvement in lipid metabolism, and bile acids synthesis and excretion. Disruption of these pathways leads to liver dysfunction, improper metabolism and hepatocellular damage. Global transcriptome changes between WT mice vs. c-Met KO mice fed a 2% cholesterol and 0.5% sodium cholate diet (high cholesterol) or a Chow regular diet (Chow) as control. Mice were fed a high cholesterol or chow regular diet for 30 days. Liver tissue was obtained, and RNA was extracted and subjected to Illumina microarray analysis.
