MRNA sequencing of the mouse and human Hep-Orgs, Chol-Orgs and primary hepatocytes

ABSTRACT: The mammalian liver possesses a remarkable regenerative ability. 1) The 'oval cell' response emanates from the biliary tree when all hepatocytes are affected by chronic liver disease. 2) A massive, proliferative response of mature hepatocytes occurs upon acute liver damage such as partial hepatectomy (PHx). We establish a long-term 3D organoid culture system from mouse and human fetal/pediatric/adult hepatocytes that retain key morphological and functional features of hepatocytes fate. We report the mRNA and single cell sequencing of Hep-Orgs from different donors in different passages. We compared Hep-Orgs with primary hepatocytes, proliferative hepatocytes or Chol-Orgs derived from Epcam+ biliary cells. By analyzing, we determine similar gene expression profile of Hep-Orgs with primary hepatocytes and make genes lists distinguished with undamaged hepatocytes as well. We find the Hep-Orgs resemble proliferative damage-response of hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy while Chol-Orgs express high cholangiocytes markers. The sequencing data constitutes a valuable resource to understand liver organoids especially Hep-Orgs.

Project description:We previously showed that severe liver diseases are characterized by expansion of liver progenitor cells (LPC), which correlates with disease severity. However, the origin and role of LPC in liver physiology and in the hepatic response to injury remains a contentious topic. We have now used genetic lineage tracing of Hnf1Î²-expressing biliary duct cells to assess their contribution to LPC expansion and hepatocyte generation during normal liver homeostasis, and following different types of liver injury. We found that ductular reaction cells in human cirrhotic livers express HNF1Î². However, HNF1Î² expression was not present in newly generated EpCAM-positive hepatocytes. Using a tamoxifen-inducible Hnf1Î²CreER/R26RYFP/LacZ mouse, we show that there is no contribution of the biliary epithelium to hepatocyte turnover during liver homeostasis in healthy mice. Moreover, after loss of liver mass, Hnf1Î²+ LPC did not contribute to hepatocyte regeneration. We also assessed the contribution of Hnf1Î²+ cells following acute and repeated liver injury. All animal models showed expansion of LPC, as assessed by immunostaining and gene expression profile of sorted YFP-positive cells. A contribution of Hnf1Î²+ LPC to hepatocyte generation was not detected in animal models of liver injury with preserved hepatocyte regenerative potential such as acute acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride injury, or chronic diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-collidin (DDC)-diet. However, in mice fed with choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented (CDE)-diet, which causes profound hepatocyte damage and arrest, a small number of hepatocytes were derived from Hnf1Î²+ cells. Conclusion: Hnf1Î²+ cells do not participate in hepatocyte turnover in the healthy liver or during liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. After liver injury, LPC arise from the biliary duct epithelium, which gives rise to a limited number of hepatocytes only when hepatocyte regeneration is compromised.
