Human patient iPS cell-derived hepatostellate organoids establish a cellular and molecular basis for liver pathologies in telomeropathies

ABSTRACT: Patients with dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and related telomeropathies resulting from premature telomere dysfunction suffer from multi-organ failure. In the liver, DC patients present with nodular hyperplasia and cirrhosis. We model DC liver pathologies using isogenic human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells harboring a causal DC mutation in DKC1, or a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9-corrected control allele. Differentiation of these iPS cells into hepatocytes or hepatic stellate cells reveals a dominant phenotype in the parenchyma. Generation of genotype admixed hepatostellate organoids indicates that DC hepatocytes elicit a pathogenic hyperplastic response in stellate cells independent of stellate cell genotype. Phenotypic rescue was achieved via suppression of AKT activity, a central regulator of mTORC1, MYC, and DC hepatocyte-driven hyperplasia. Thus, isogenic, iPS-derived admixed hepatostellate organoids offer insight into the liver pathologies in telomeropathies and provide a framework for evaluating emerging therapies.

Single cell transcriptomics of hepatostellate organoids derived from DKC1 A353V mutant and DKC1 A353V corrected iPSCs

Project description:We model liver phenotypes associated with telomere dysfunction using DC patient-derived iPS cells and isogenic controls with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair correction of the disease-causing DKC1 mutation. Differentiation of these cells into hepatocyte-like cells or hepatic stellate cells indicates that the parenchymal hepatocytes are primarily affected by telomere dysfunction. We develop an admixed hepatostellate organoid culture model which further reveals that mutant hepatocytes exert dominant effects on hepatic stellate cells regardless of stellate cell genotype. Hepatostellate organoids containing DKC1-mutant hepatocytes exhibit hyperplasia in both the hepatocyte compartment and, remarkably, in stellate cells. Moreover, mutant hepatocytes can induce hallmarks of stellate cell activation independently of stellate cell genotype. Interestingly, mutant hepatostellate organoids also contain off-target PLVAP+ endothelial cells reminiscent of scar-associated endothelium observed in non-DC cirrhosis patients.

Transcriptome of human liver cells and culture-activated hepatic stellate cells

Project description:The molecular determinants of a healthy human liver cell phenotype remain largely uncharacterized. In addition, the gene expression changes associated with activation of primary human hepatic stellate cells, a key event during fibrogenesis, remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide the transriptomic profile underpinning the healthy phenotype of human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as activated HSCs (aHSCs) We assess the transcriptome for purified, non-cultured human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as culture-activated HSCs (aHSCs). Hepatocytes (n=2 donors), LSECs (n=3), qHSCs (n=3) and in vitro activated HSCs (n=3; from the same donors as the qHSCs and LSECs) were used for this study.

GENERATION OF HEPATIC STELLATE CELLS BY DIRECTED DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS

Project description:Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the main stromal cell component of the liver. In healthy liver, quiescent HSC participate in the homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) and store vitamin A. Liver injury causes HSC activation, where they participate in the wound-healing response, by producing ECM components as well as cytokines involved in liver regeneration and inflammation. Moreover, HSC are the main cell type responsible for fibrosis progression. The lack of homogeneous cultures and renewable sources of human HSC has limited the studies of the role of HSC in liver injury, repair anf fibrosis. Here we report a procedure to direct the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (PSC) to HSC. The HSC–like population (iPS-HSC) was enriched in PDGFRβ positive cells that expressed key HSC markers. Whole genome transcriptomic analysis revealed that iPS-HSC displayed features intermediate to quiescent and activated HSC. Functional analysis demonstrated that iPS-HSC accumulated retinyl esters into lipid droplets and responded to injury mediators. Moreover, when cultured with HepaRG hepatocytes as aggregates, iPS-HSC support long-term hepatocyte metabolic function and respond to hepatocyte toxicity by activating and promoting organoid fibrogenesis.

miR-182-5p Promotes Hepatocyte-Stellate Cell Crosstalk to Facilitate Liver Regeneration

Project description:A unique feature of the liver is its high regenerative capacity, which is essential to maintain liver homeostasis. However, key regulators of liver regeneration (LR) remain ill-defined. Here, we identify hepatic miR-182-5p as a key regulator of LR. Suppressing miR-182-5p, whose expression is significantly induced in the liver of mice post two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PH), abrogates PH-induced LR in mice. In contrast, liver-specific overexpression of miR-182-5p promotes LR in mice with PH. Overexpression of miR-182-5p failed to promote proliferation in hepatocytes, but stimulates proliferation when hepatocytes are cocultured with stellate cells. Mechanistically, miR-182-5p stimulates Cyp7a1-mediated cholic acid production in hepatocytes, which promotes hedgehog (Hh) ligand production in stellate cells, leading to the activation of Hh signaling in hepatocytes and consequent cell proliferation. Collectively, our study identified miR-182-5p as a critical regulator of LR and uncovers a Cyp7a1/cholic acid-dependent mechanism by which hepatocytes crosstalk to stellate cells to facilitate LR.

A healthy human liver cell atlas reveals hepatic stellate cell heterogeneity

Project description:We generated a high-resolution cellular atlas of the healthy human liver by profiling the transcriptome of more than 25,000 individual liver cells using droplet-based RNA-sequencing. Recently published datasets and in situ hybridization were integrated to confirm, validate and locate newly identified cell populations. We identified, annotated and characterized a total of 23 cell subpopulations that represent the degree of heterogeneity of parenchymal (i.e. hepatocytes and cholangiocytes) and non-parenchymal liver cells (i.e. endothelial cells, stellate cells, macrophages and lymphoid cells). We successfully classified human hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells along the porto-central axis and for the first time reveal the existence of functionally specialized pericentral GPC3+ and periportal HHIP+ DBH+ hepatic stellate cells in the healthy human liver. Our study provides a description of the different cell compartments that enter into the composition of a healthy human liver and currently constitutes the biggest single-cell RNA sequencing dataset available on human healthy hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells. We identified subsets of hepatic stellate cells characterized by distinct localization and physiological functions.

Sex differences in Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice evoked by a fructose-palmitate-cholesterol (FPC)-enriched diet [single_nucleus]

Project description:To study sex differences in the response to NASH in mice, single nucleus RNA sequencing of livers was performed. Single nucleus RNAseq demonstrated enrichment of differentially-expressed genes particularly in hepatocytes and stellate cells in females versus males fed FPC-NASH. Multiple regulons (transcription factors and target genes) implicated in lipid and other metabolic processes and hormone signaling (hepatocytes) and cell-cell communication and cell adhesion (stellate cells) were noted, which were enriched in female versus male FPC-NASH diet. Bulk liver RNAseq and RNAseq of isolated hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells were analyzed as validation experiments.
