Human liver NPCs single cell project

ABSTRACT: Independent of their inflammatory phenotype, macrophages are key orchestrators of hepatic metabolism. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) often occurs in obese individuals and is among the most common causes of cirrhosis, the terminal chronic liver disease that may necessitate liver transplantation. While multiple populations of macrophages have been described in the human liver, their function and turnover in obese patients at high risk of developing NAFLD and cirrhosis is currently unknown. Herein we identified a specific human population of resident liver myeloid cells that protects against the metabolic impairment associated with obesity. By studying the turnover of liver myeloid cells in individuals undergoing liver transplantation using markers of donor-recipient mismatch, we made the novel discovery that liver myeloid cell turnover differs between humans and mice. Using single cell techniques and flow cytometry we determined that the proportion of the protective resident liver myeloid cells, denoted liver myeloid cells 2 (LM2), decreases during obesity. Functional validation approaches using human 2D and 3D cultures revealed that the presence of LM2 ameliorates the oxidative stress associated with obese conditions. Our study indicates that resident myeloid cells could be a therapeutic target to decrease the oxidative stress associated with NAFLD.

Classifying distinct grades of human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease employing a systems biology approach

Project description:With an estimated prevalence of about 30% in western countries non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major public health issue [PMID: 18956290]. NAFLD is associated with the metabolic syndrome of insulin resistance, obesity, glucose intolerance. Although many studies are pointing to an induction of insulin resistance by NAFLD causality between both phenotypes is not fully clarified. Furthermore, mechanisms leading to strongly differing progression of NAFLD have to be elucidated which range from mild steatosis up to severe steatohepatitis. Steatohepatitis might even result in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Additional complexity is introduced into the understanding of the disease by recent studies providing evidence for a direct development of carcinoma from steatosis without the formerly assumed intermediary phase of cirrhosis. Here, we investigate liver samples from patients with varying severities of steatosis in an integrative approach employing transcriptomics, serum biomarker profling, metabolomics data and systems biology models. Total RNA obtained from hepatocytes derived from nine obese patients with distinct grades of steatosis. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

An optimized protocol for isolation of hepatic leukocytes retrieved from murine and NASH liver biopsies

Project description:Immune dysregulation and inflammation by hepatic-resident leukocytes is considered a key step in disease progression of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) toward cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we provide a robust protocol for isolation and characterization of liver-resident immune cells from fine needle biopsies of rodent model and human. Various downstream applications can then be applied to gain an appreciation of the functional activity of liver-resident leukocyte populations.

The loss of paraoxonase-2 activity aggravates lipid accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress through the impaired autophagy pathway in in vitro fatty liver model

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly prevalent immunometabolic disease that can progress to hepatic cirrhosis and cancer. NAFLD pathogenesis is extremely complex and is associated with diverse features including oxidative stress, impaired mitochondrial function andlipid metabolism, and cellular inflammation. Thus, in-depth research on its underlying mechanisms and investigation into a potential drug target that has overarching effects on these features will provide benefits towards discovering effective treatments for NAFLD. Here, we examined the role of endogenous paraoxonase-2 (PON2), a membrane protein with reported antioxidant activity, in in vitro fatty liver model. We found that the hepatic loss of PON2 activity aggravated steatosis and oxidative stress under lipotoxic condition, and our transcriptome analysis revealed that PON2 deficiency disrupts the activation of numerous functional pathways closely related to NAFLD pathogenesis, including mitochondrial respiratory capacity, lipid metabolism, liver fibrosis, and hepatic inflammation. PON2 promoted the activation of overall autophagy pathway, especially mitophagy cargo sequestration, which may be considered as an underlying mechanism that contributed to the role of PON2 in alleviating oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and inflammation. These results provide mechanistic foundation on the prospect of targeting PON2 for the development of novel therapeutics for NAFLD in the future.

Plasma proteome profiling discovers novel proteins associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25% of the population and can progress to cirrhosis, where treatment options are limited. As the liver secrets most of the blood plasma proteins its diseases should affect the plasma proteome. Plasma proteome profiling on 48 patients with cirrhosis or NAFLD with normal glucose tolerance or diabetes, revealed 8 significantly changing (ALDOB, APOM, LGALS3BP, PIGR, VTN, IGHD, FCGBP and AFM), two of which are already linked to liver disease. Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR) was significantly elevated in both cohorts with a 2.7-fold expression change in NAFLD and 4-fold change in cirrhosis and was further validated in mouse models. Furthermore, a global correlation map of clinical and proteomic data strongly associated DPP4, ANPEP, TGFBI, PIGR, and APOE to NAFLD and cirrhosis. DPP4 is a known drug target in diabetes. ANPEP and TGFBI are of interest because of their potential role in extracellular matrix remodeling in fibrosis.

Furthermore, ANPEP and TGFBI have potential roles in extracellular matrix remodeling in fibrosis. Thus, Plasma Proteome Profiling can identify potential biomarkers and drug targets in liver disease.

RNA-Sequencing of Transaldolase and Aldose Reducatase Deficiency in Mouse Liver

Project description:Oxidative stress modulates carcinogenesis in the liver; however, direct evidence for metabolic control of oxidative stress during pathogenesis, particularly, of progression from cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has been lacking. Deficiency of transaldolase (TAL), a ratelimiting enzyme of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), elicits growth restriction, and predisposes to cirrhosis and HCC in mice and humans. Here, we show that mitochondrial oxidative stress and disease progression from cirrhosis to HCC and acetaminophen-induced liver necrosis are critically dependent on NADPH depletion by aldose reductase (AR), while this enzyme protects from carbon trapping in the PPP and stunted growth in TAL deficiency. Both TAL and AR are confined to the cytosol, however, their inactivation distorts NADPH production and mitochondrial oxidative stress into opposite directions.

Expression data for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients

Project description:Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease represents a spectrum of pathology that ranges from benign steatosis to potentially-progressive steatohepatitis and affects more than 30% of US adults. Advanced NAFLD is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cirrhosis, primary liver cancer, cardiovascular disease and extrahepatic cancers. Accurate identification of patients at risk for advanced NAFLD is challenging. The aims of this study were to define the liver gene expression patterns that distinguish mild from advanced NAFLD and to develop a gene expression profile associated with advanced NAFLD. We analyzed total RNA from 72 patients with NAFLD (40 with mild NAFLD, fibrosis stage 0-1 and 32 with advanced NAFLD, fibrosis stage 3-4) and developed a gene profile associated with advanced NAFLD. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

HEPATIC TRANSCRIPTOME SIGNATURES IN PATIENTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE COMPARED TO HEALTHY NORMAL-WEIGHT INDIVIDUALS

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a spectrum of conditions ranging from simple steatosis (NAFL), over non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with or without fibrosis, to cirrhosis with end-stage disease. The hepatic molecular events underlying the development of NAFLD and transition to NASH are poorly understood. The present study aimed to determine hepatic transcriptome dynamics in patients with NAFL or NASH compared to healthy normal-weight and obese individuals. RNA sequencing and quantitative histomorphometry of liver fat, inflammation and fibrosis was performed on liver biopsies obtained from healthy normal weight (n=14) and obese (n=12) individuals, NAFL (n=15) and NASH (n=16) patients. Normal weight and obese subjects showed normal liver histology and comparable gene expression profiles. Liver transcriptome signatures were largely overlapping in NAFL and NASH patients, however, clearly separated from healthy normal-weight and obese controls. Most marked pathway perturbations identified in both NAFL and NASH were associated with markers of lipid metabolism, immunomodulation, extracellular matrix remodeling and cell cycle control. Interestingly, NASH patients with positive Sonic hedgehog hepatocyte staining showed distinct transcriptome and histomorphometric changes compared to NAFL. In conclusion, application of immunohistochemical markers of hepatocyte injury may serve as a more objective tool for distinguishing NASH from NAFL, facilitating improved resolution of hepatic molecular changes associated with progression of NAFLD.
