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

ABSTRACT: 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.

RNA-Sequencing analysis of liver tissue from female Foxa3-Cre YAP1 knockout mice, Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygous mice, and WT littermate controls, 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. 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 next bred Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote and Foxa3-Cre YAP1 KO TAZ KO (DKO) mice to assess the role of TAZ in this model. DKO mice and male YAP KO TAZ heterozygotes died around time of birth. The survivors, YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote females, were overall phenotypically similar to YAP1 KO mice, with absence of intrahepatic bile ducts and long-term survival. We used RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression patterns of whole liver tissue of female adult YAP1 KO mice compared to WT controls (C57BL/6 background), and female adult YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote (YKTH) mice compared to WT controls (mixed C57BL/6 - FVB background). We found that both YAP1 KO and YAP1 KO TAZ heterozygote female mice were overall very similar and showed similar alterations in gene expression compared to WT. There were a few differences in pathways involved in cell cycling and monocyte recruitment.

Obstructive cholestasis compromises balance and alters brain lipid composition in neonatal piglets

Project description:Infants with neonatal cholestasis are prone to neurodevelopmental deficits including neuromotor function. Accumulation of potentially neurotoxic molecules in the bloodstream including ammonia and bile acids and malabsorption of lipids may affect neurodevelopment in these patients. This study examined neuromotor function and bile acid and lipid composition of the brain in a piglet model of obstructive neonatal cholestasis via bile duct ligation (BDL) surgery. Results showed that BDL piglets had compromised balance and increased liver enzyme levels, liver fibrosis and bile duct proliferation compared to SHAM piglets. Plasma and cerebellum bile acid profiles differed between BDL and SHAM piglets with hyocholic acid and conjugated bile acid forms dominating in the BDL group. In the cerebellum there were different lipid profiles, but similar gene expression profiles between the two groups.

Interaction with Cholangiocytes and Neutrophils

Project description:Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is a life-threatening disease with limited treatment options. The presence of cholestasis worsens prognosis but the responsible mechanism is unknown. AH results in infiltration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in the liver, and cholestasis often reflects bile duct pathology, so we investigated whether and how PMNs interact with cholangiocytes in AH.

Distinct roles of FOXA2 and FOXA3 in allergic airway disease

Project description:Allergen challenge induced mucus metaplasia modify the expression of two transcription factors belonging to the FOXA family: FOXA2 and FOXA3. Foxa2 expression is decreased during allergic airway disease whereas, Foxa3 expression is increased by allergen. Therefore, we asked whether persistent expression of Foxa2 prevents mucus and whether absence of Foxa3 affects mucus or other features asociated with allergic airway disease. We analyzed the effects of these changes in FOXA transcription factor expression using Foxa2 transgenic mice and Foxa3-/- mice. We found that persistent expression of FOXA2 reduced mucus but the absence of FOXA3 had no effect on mucus production induced by allergen challenge. However, the absence of FOXA3 decreased airway hyperreactivity and increased IgE production and eosinophilic inflammation but none of these features were affected by persistent expression of FOXA2. These results indicate that FOXA3 has functions distinct from those of FOXA2 in the allergic response. Keywords: gene expression comparison between Foxa3-/- and littermate control mice both challenged with OVA DNA miocroarrays were used to analyze lung mRNA expression of Foxa3 KO and littermate control mice challenged with saline or OVA. The experiment incorporated a 1 color design and used Agilent arrays that contained roughly 44,000 60mer probes that provide complete coverage of the mouse genome. 11 arrays were hybridized and represent 3 lung samples for groups WT saline, WT OVA and KO OVA. There are 2 lung samples for the KO saline group.

Jag1K295*/+ as a mouse model for Alagille syndrome

Project description:A new mouse mutant was identified at the Munich ENU mutagenesis project due to hyperactivity, head tossing, and circling behaviour. Neurological and gross morphological phenotyping of these mutant mice revealed impairment of the vestibular system. Using whole genome exome sequencing and a custom-made variant calling pipeline, we identified the causative mutation as an A->T substitution on the chromosome 2 at the position 128 in the exon 6 of jagged 1 (Jag1) gene. This introduces a premature termination codon at the position 883 of the cDNA. In humans, mutations in the JAG1 gene are associated with Alagille syndrome (ALGS1 ), a multisystem developmental disorder mainly affecting small bile ducts in the liver, but also heart, skeleton, and eyes, and occasionally also kidney or inner ears. Further examination of the Jag1K295*/+ mutant mouse line disclosed multiorgan deficiencies, such as cardiac liver congestion, bile duct hypoplasia, mild nephropathy, subvalvular hypertrophy of the right ventricle, and mild growth retardation. No skeletal abnormalities could be detected. In summary, we report a novel mouse model for Alagille syndrome, Jag1K295*/+, which resembles most of the features of the mild form of Alagille syndrome observed in patients. Total RNA obtained from liver of 4 male heterozygous Jag1K295*/+ and 4 male wildtype mice

Pathophysiological role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 6 (HNF6) during cholestatic liver injury

Project description:Animal models of parenchymal liver injury by bile duct ligation (BDL) and all forms of liver diseases including neonatal hepatitis and clinical obstructive cholangiopathies such as biliary atresia have the pathological features of cholestasis and liver dysfunction. Hepatocyte nuclear factors 6 (HNF6) is important to the transcriptional regulation, expression and function of essential hepatic genes involved in the differentiated as well as the adaptive response to liver injury. Using HNF6 conditional knock out mice where HNF6 is functionally deleted in the liver, we established that HNF6 is required for proper liver function of cholesterol clearance, improvement of cholestasis and hepatocyte regeneration. Enhancing HNF6 expression in wild type mice also diminished hepatic apoptosis and fibrosis. In this proposal, we propose to further characterize the biological function of HNF6 by testing the HYPOTHESIS that HNF6 direct transcriptional regulation of antiapoptotic and antifibrotic pathways contributes to hepatoprotection during bile duct injury. This hypothesis will be tested in two specific aims.

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).
