Single-cell transcriptomics reveals heterogeneous metabolic profiles in primary human hepatocytes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Through scRNA-sequencing of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), we have identified four subgroups of hepatocytes. A phenotyping 5-probe cocktail (Sanofi-Aventis) has been used to assess their metabolic capacity. Upon cocktail treatment, the characterized four hepatocyte subgroups displayed differential gene expression profiles and exhibited xenobiotic metabolism-related specialization. Intracellular lipid accumulation achieved through loading the cells with free fatty acids (FFA, 2:1 oleic:palmitic acid), differently affected the four subgroups. Moreover, we have shown that intracellular fat accumulation diminishes the drug-related metabolic capacity of hepatocytes.
