Project description:For years, the term apoptosis was used synonymously for programmed cell death. However, it was recently discovered that programmed necrosis – dependent on the kinases Receptor-Interacting-Protein-Kinase (RIP)1 and RIP3 (also called necroptosis) – represents a major programmed cell-death pathway in development and immunity. At present, the functions of necroptosis in hepatitis, liver cancer development and biliary disease are unclear. Here we show that in mice with chronic hepatitis due to conditional ablation of TGF-beta-activated kinase1 (TAK1) in liver parenchymal cells (LPC), both apoptotic and necroptotic signaling pathways are activated. Strikingly, only Caspase-8-dependent apoptosis promotes spontaneous liver cancer development, while in contrast LPC necroptosis inhibits hepatic tumourigenesis. The tumour-promoting effect of apoptosis results from an induction of strong compensatory proliferation of LPC, linked with the paracrine action of growth factors like Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) not induced by necroptosis. In addition to prevention of HCC development, induction of necroptosis leads to massive cholestasis and hyperbilirubinemia, resulting from an insufficient ductular reaction and biliary regeneration from the hepatic stem cell niche as a response to chronic hepatitis. These results indicate previously undefined distinctive functions of apoptosis and programmed necrosis in controlling cancer development and cholestasis in the liver with important implications for future therapeutic strategies in chronic liver disease.

We compared groups of 4 Tak1/Caspase8 LPC double knockout mice and 4 Tak1 LPC-KO/Rip3-/- mice to detect genes differentially regulated by apoptotic and necrotic signalling pathways.

Project description:Paracetamol (acetaminophen, APAP) overdose severely damages mitochondria and triggers several apoptotic processes in hepatocytes, but the final outcome is fulminant necrotic cell death, resulting in acute liver failure and mortality. Here, we studied this switch of cell death modes and demonstrate a non-canonical role of the apoptosis-regulating BCL-2 homolog BIM/Bcl2l11 in promoting necrosis by regulating cellular bioenergetics. BIM deficiency enhanced total ATP production and shifted the bioenergetic profile towards glycolysis, resulting in persistent protection from APAP-induced liver injury. Modulation of glucose levels and deletion of mitofusins confirmed that severe APAP toxicity occurs only in cells dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolytic hepatocytes maintained elevated ATP levels and reduced ROS, which enabled lysosomal recycling of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. The present study highlights how metabolism and bioenergetics affect drug-induced liver toxicity, and identifies BIM as important regulator of glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and oxidative stress signaling.

Project description:Crosstalk between deregulated hepatocyte metabolism and cells within the tumour microenvironment, and consequent effects on liver tumourigenesis, are incompletely understood. We show here that hepatocyte specific loss of the gluconeogenic enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) disrupts liver metabolic homeostasis and promotes tumour progression. FBP1 is universally silenced in both human and murine liver tumours, and hepatocyte-specific Fbp1 deletion results in steatosis, concomitant with activation and senescence of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), exhibiting a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Depleting senescent HSCs by senolytic treatment with dasatinib/quercetin or ABT-263 inhibits tumour progression. We further demonstrate that FBP1-deficient hepatocytes promote HSC activation by releasing HMGB1; blocking its release with the small molecule inflachromene limits FBP1-dependent HSC activation, subsequent SASP development, and tumour progression. Collectively, these findings provide genetic evidence for FBP1 as a metabolic tumour suppressor in liver cancer and establish a critical link between hepatocyte metabolism and HSC senescence that promotes tumour growth.

Project description:Murine and human genome-wide microarray expression profiles (including GSE19404) were compared using Partek and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) in order to identify similarities. A murine PNET-like tumour by morphology was found to resemble human ATRT, whereas experimental glioma resembled a particular human glioblastoma subclass. Tumour material was resected or neurosphere cultures pelleted. Part of the material was processed for histological analysis, another was snap-frozen for isolation of RNA. RNA was then labelled and hybridised to Affymetrix MoEx-v1 arrays and analysed using Partek. This array dataset comprises Affymetrix MoEx-v2 microarrays hybridised with RNA from brain-derived tumour material (CA), subventricular zone (SVZ)-derived growth transformed neurospheres (CATR) and control neurospheres (CS, GFP).

Project description:Radiation therapy is an effective cancer treatment although damage to healthy tissues is common. Here we establish sequencing-based, cell-type specific DNA methylation reference maps of human and mouse tissues to infer the origins of cell-free DNA fragments released from dying cells into the circulation. We find cell-type specific DNA blocks mostly hypomethylated and located within genes intrinsic to cellular identity. In a mouse model, thoracic radiation-induced tissue damages were reflected by dose-dependent increases in lung endothelial, cardiomyocyte and hepatocyte methylated DNA in serum. The analysis of serum samples from breast cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment revealed distinct tissue-specific epithelial and endothelial responses to radiation across multiple organs. Strikingly, patients treated for right-sided breast cancers also showed increased hepatocyte and liver endothelial DNA in the circulation indicating the impact on liver tissues. Thus, cell-free methylated DNA in serum can uncover cell-type specific effects of radiation on healthy tissues and inform treatment.
