ABSTRACT: Purpose: Conditional MOF deletion in mouse livers resulted in acute hepatic necrosis. The goal of this study was to identify transcriptomic changes in the livers of MOF-depeleted mice livers compared to WT. Methods: Transcriptomic profiles of MOF∆ and WT mouse livers were generated in triplicate. Sequenced reads were quality filtered using Trimmomatic. Quality reads were aligned to the mouse genome using TopHat2. Reads were counted using htseq-count and differentially expressed transcripts were identified using DESeq. Results: 1408 differentially expressed genes were identified between MOF∆ and WT livers. 774 genes were down-regulated in MOF∆ and primarilly associated with metabolic pathways. Branched chain amino acid and fatty acid metabolic pathways, which are deregulated in non-alcoholic fattly liver disease (NAFLD) prgression were down-regulated. 664 genes were upregulated and associated with increased proliferation. Conclusions: These data show that MOF is required for maintaining proper metabolic function in the liver and deregulation of MOF may be involved in progression of NAFLD.
