Liver regeneration after cholestatic damage induced by Rbpj deletion

ABSTRACT: Liver cholestasis is a chronic liver disease (CLD) which belongs to a major health problem. Cholestasis is characterised by a decrease in bile flow due to impaired secretion by hepatocytes or by obstruction of bile flow through intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts. Thereby cholestasis can induce ductal proliferation, hepatocyte injury and liver fibrosis. Notch signalling promotes the formation and maturation of ductular reactions. We investigated the liver regeneration process in the context of cholestasis induced by disruption of the Notch signalling pathway. Liver-specific deletion of Rbpj, which represents a key regulator of Notch signalling, induces severe cholestasis through impaired IHBD maturation, severe necrosis and increased lethality. Deregulation of the biliary compartment and cholestasis are associated with change of several signalling pathways including the Hippo pathway resulting in upregulation of SOX9, which is associated with transdifferentiation of hepatocytes. SOX9 upregulation in cholestatic liver injury in vitro is independent of Notch signalling. We could comprehensively address that Rbpj depletion is followed by deregulation of YAP/TEAD, which influences transdifferentiation of hepatocytes and thereby contributing to liver regeneration. In this study the liver regeneration process was analyzed in 4 weeks old Rbpj knockout mice and compared to 4 weeks old Rbpj wildtype mice.

Regeneration Defects in Livers of Mice With Mutations in Yap and Taz Caused by Bile Duct Disruption and Cholestasis

Project description:Background and aims: The Hippo pathway and its downstream effectors YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ) are heralded as important regulators of organ growth and regeneration. However, different studies provided contradictory conclusions about their role during regeneration of different organs ranging from promoting proliferation to inhibiting it. Here, we resolve the function of YAP/TAZ during regeneration of the liver, where Hippo’s role in growth control has been studied most intensely. Methods: We evaluated liver regeneration after CCl4 toxic liver injury in mice with conditional deletion of Yap/Taz in hepatocytes and/or biliary epithelial cells and measured the behavior of different cell types during regeneration by histology, RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry. Results: We found that YAP/TAZ were activated in hepatocytes in response to CCl4 toxic injury. However, their targeted deletion in adult hepatocytes did not noticeably impair liver regeneration. In contrast, Yap/Taz deletion in adult bile ducts caused severe defects and delay in liver regeneration. Mechanistically, we show that Yap/Taz mutant bile ducts degenerated, causing cholestasis which stalled the recruitment of phagocytic macrophages and the removal of cellular corpses from injury sites. Elevated bile acids activated PXR, which was sufficient to recapitulate the phenotype observed in mutant mice. Conclusions: Our data show that YAP/TAZ are practically dispensable in hepatocytes for liver development and regeneration. Rather, YAP/TAZ play an indirect role in liver regeneration by preserving bile duct integrity and securing immune cell recruitment and function.

STAT3 protects from liver injury and fibrosis in a mouse model of sclerosing cholangitis

Project description:Background and aims: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is the main mediator of interleukin-6 type cytokine signaling required for hepatocyte proliferation and hepatoprotection but its role in sclerosing cholangitis and other cholestatic liver diseases remains unresolved. Methods: We investigated the role of Stat3 in inflammation-induced cholestatic liver injury and used mice lacking the multidrug resistance gene 2 (mdr2-/-) as a model for SC. Results: We demonstrate that conditional inactivation of stat3 in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes (stat3 delta hc) of mdr2-/- mice strongly aggravated bile acid-induced liver injury and fibrosis. A similar phenotype was observed in mdr2-/- mice lacking IL-6 production. Biochemical and molecular characterization suggested that Stat3 exerts hepatoprotective functions in both, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Loss of Stat3 in cholangiocytes led to increased expression of TNFÎ± which might reduce the barrier function of bile ducts. Loss of Stat3 in hepatocytes led to upregulation of bile acid biosynthesis genes and downregulation of hepatoprotective epidermal growth factor receptor and insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling pathways. Consistently, stat3deltahc mice were more sensitive to cholic acid-induced liver damage than control mice. Conclusions: Our data suggest that Stat3 prevents cholestasis and liver damage in sclerosing cholangitis via regulation of pivotal functions in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Affymetrix microarray analyses was performed to identify metabolic and molecular pathways in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice that lead to cholestasis and bile acid-induced liver injury. To avoid false positive results that are due to differential cellular composition, we defined the onset of fibrosis and expression of fibrogenic factors in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice.

The main Transcription factor of Notch signalling RBPJ inhibits the formation of combined HCC-iCCA

Project description:Background & Aims: Combined HCC-iCCA is a rare liver tumor type and is often not well separated from HCC and iCCA. In this study, we analyzed major differences between combined HCC-iCCA and iCCA. Methods: We first characterized major differences between combined HCC-iCCA and iCCA by GSEA analysis. Consequently, we used CCl4 to induce chronic liver disease and subsequent liver carcinoma formation in mice. We forced the formation of combined HCC-iCCA through liver specific deletion of Rbpj, a key component of the Notch signaling pathway, in a Trp53 deficient background. Notch and p53 signaling pathways are involved in cellular differentiation processes and belong to the most affected pathways in liver carcinogenesis. Results: We show that combined HCC-iCCA can be separated from iCCA through differences in development related pathways, metabolism, cell to cell interaction and immune related pathways in human patients and in mice. Dysregulation of Notch signaling through a hepatocyte-specific Rbpj knockout resulted in an increased tumor burden and a high frequency of combined HCC-iCCA formation. In addition, hepatocytic loss of Rbpj forced M2 macrophage polarization and a tumor promoting environment. Conclusions: Dysregulation of Notch signaling is involved in tumor differentiation. Loss of Rbpj triggers the formation of combined HCC-iCCA which is associated by a pro-tumorigenic environment. Our study highlights the importance of dysfunctional Notch signalling through Rbpj deletion in hepatocytes. Rbpj loss affects tumor differentiation and the tumor microenvironment which can be linked to a combined HCC-iCCA phenotype seen in human patients.

RNA-Sequencing analysis of liver tissue from healthy WT mice and Foxa3-Cre YAP1 knockout mice at 3-4 months of age

Project description:We developed a mouse model of bile duct paucity by deleting Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) in foregut endoderm progenitors, using the Foxa3 promoter to drive Cre expression. YAP1 KO mice are viable postnatally and survive long-term despite a complete failure of intrahepatic bile duct development, resembling the liver phenotype of Alagille syndrome. We also observed no functional biliary regeneration over time. Adult YAP1 KO mice suffer from severe chronic cholestasis, but show minimal hepatocellular injury, suggesting that the hepatocytes have adapted to preserve liver function and reduce damage from the toxicity of bile acids and bilirubin. We used RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression patterns of whole liver tissue of adult YAP1 KO mice compared to WT, and found significant changes in metabolic activity, bile acid synthesis and transport that reflect hepatocyte reprogramming for survival.

Hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ER-associated degradation deficiency leads to intrahepatic cholestasis in mice

Project description:The liver is the central organ critically regulating the balance of the metabolically potent yet toxic bile acids in the body. While genomic association studies have pointed to hepatic Sel1L – a critical component of mammalian Hrd1 ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery – as an influencer of serum bile acid levels, physiological relevance and mechanistic insights of ERAD in bile homeostasis remain unexplored. Using hepatocyte-specific Sel1L-deficient mouse models, we report that hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD critically manages bile homeostasis in the body. Mice with hepatocyte-specific Sel1L developed intrahepatic cholestasis, with significant overload of bile acids in the liver and circulation under basal condition, and were hypersensitive to dietary bile acid challenge. By contrast, biliary bile acid and phosphatidylcholine levels were reduced, pointing to an export defect from hepatocytes. Unbiased proteomics analysis followed by biochemical assays revealed significant accumulation of the bile-stabilizing phosphatidylcholine exporter ATP-binding cassette 4 (Abcb4) in the ER of Sel1L-deficient livers, a gene associated with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis type III. Indeed, Abcb4 was a substrate of Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD. Hence, hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD maintains bile equilibrium via quality control of Abcb4 maturation in the ER.

High-throughput sequencing reveals induction of drug metabolism in various cholestatic livers

Project description:Cholestasis is a multifactorial disorder that compromises liver function. We wanted to examine Phase I and II drug metabolism in cholestatic livers. We performed high-throughput sequencing on livers from Fxr-/- Shp-/- double knockout mice, which mimic juvenile cholestasis. Next, we used comparative transcriptomic approach to test if the induction in drug metabolism is also seen in models of liver injury, including steatosis, regeneration and bile acid-stressed livers.

Dynamic binding of RBPJ is determined by Notch signalling status

Project description:Notch signalling plays crucial roles in mediating cell fate choices in all metazoans largely by specifying the transcriptional output of one cell in response to a neighbouring cell. The DNA-binding protein RBPJ is the principle effector of this pathway in mammals and together with the transcription factor moiety of Notch (NICD) it regulates the expression of target genes. The prevalent view presumes that RBPJ statically occupies consensus binding sites while exchanging repressors for activators in response to NICD. We present the first specific RBPJ chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing study in mammalian cells. To dissect the mode of transcriptional regulation by RBPJ and identify its direct targets, whole genome binding profiles were generated for RBPJ, its coactivator p300, NICD and the histone H3 modifications H3K4me3, H3K4me1 and H3K27ac in myogenic cells under active or inhibitory Notch signalling conditions. Our results demonstrate dynamic binding of RBPJ in response to Notch activation at essentially all sites co-occupied by NICD. Additionally, we identify a distinct set of sites where RBPJ recruits neither NICD nor p300, and binds DNA statically, irrespective of Notch activity. These findings significantly modify our views on how RBPJ and Notch signalling mediate their activities and consequently impact on cell fate decisions. ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation) is followed by deep sequencing to generate genome-wide patterns of RBP-J binding in mouse C2C12 cells under various conditions. Cells were either Notch activated by exposure to immobilized ligand or by overexpression of NICDGFP, or Notch inhibited by treatment with DAPT. Notch activation and inhibition treatments were applied for 6h and 24h. In addition to RBP-J, p300 and NICDGFP were profiled by ChIP-Seq and gene expression was assessed by RNA-Seq.

Growth hormone resistance exacerbates cholestasis-induced murine liver fibrosis

Project description:Growth hormone (GH) resistance has been associated with liver cirrhosis in humans but its contribution to the disease remains controversial. In order to elucidate whether GH resistance plays a causal role in the establishment and development of liver fibrosis, or rather represents a major consequence thereof, we challenged mice lacking the Growth hormone receptor gene (Ghr-/-, a model for GH resistance) by crossing them with Mdr2 knockout mice (Mdr2-/-), a mouse model of inflammatory cholestasis and liver fibrosis. Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice showed elevated serum markers associated with liver damage and cholestasis, extensive bile duct proliferation and increased collagen deposition relative to Mdr2 -/- mice, thus suggesting a more severe liver fibrosis phenotype. Additionally, Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice had a pronounced down-regulation of hepato-protective genes Hnf6, Egfr and Igf-1, and significantly increased levels of ROS and apoptosis in hepatocytes, compared to control mice. Moreover, single knockout mice (Ghr-/-) fed with a diet containing 1% cholic acid displayed an increase in hepatocyte ROS production, hepatocyte apoptosis and bile infarcts compared to their wildtype littermates, indicating that loss of Ghr renders hepatocytes more susceptible to toxic bile acid accumulation. Surprisingly, and despite their severe fibrotic phenotype, Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice displayed a significant decrease in tumour incidence compared to Mdr2-/- mice, indicating that loss of Ghr signaling may slow the progression from fibrosis/cirrhosis to cancer in the liver.

LKB1 and Notch deletion in mouse liver

Project description:We characterize the phenotype of mice in which the deletion of Lkb1 has been targeted in the liver. Lack of Lkb1 in the liver results in bile duct paucity leading to cholestasis. This phenotype is similar to that obtained upon inactivation of Notch signaling in the liver. We test the hypothesis of a functional overlap between the Lkb1 and Notch pathways by gene expression profiling of livers deficent in Lkb1 or in the Notch mediator RbpJÎº. We used AlfpCre mice for liver-specific deletion of LKB1 that were crossed with a conditional knockout mouse model (LKB1 floxed mice). We used also AlfpCre mice for liver-specific inactivation of the Notch pathway. AlfpCre mice were crossed with the RbpJÎº floxed mice. RNA was extracted from the liver of LKB1 KO mice (Lkb1Floxed, AlfpCre positive mice) and their wild-type counterpart (Lkb1Floxed, AlfpCre negative mice). RNA was also extracted from liver of RbpJK KO mice (RbpJK floxed, AlfpCre positive) and their wild type mice (RbpJK floxed, AlfpCe negative). 6 samples for the liver-specific deletion of LKB1 corresponding to 3 KO LKB1 (Cre positive) and 3 normal liver (Cre negative). 6 samples for the liver-specific inactivation of the Notch pathway corresponding to 3 KO RbpJk (Cre positive) and 3 normal liver (Cre negative).
