RNA-seq transcriptional profiling in primary human hepatocytes, short- and long-term cultured Proliferating human hepatocytes (in vitro/in vivo)

ABSTRACT: One of the major challenges of cell therapy is manufacturing of the effective seed cells, which inevitably requires the expansion of cells in vitro. Although considerable progresses have been achieved in expansion of primary human hepatocytes (PHH) in vitro, the transplantation efficiency of proliferating human hepatocytes was decreased with the extended culture. The mechanism of declined transplantation is not clear.Here, we found that long-term cultured proliferating human hepatocytes (lc-ProliHH) significantly upregulated chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines associated with innate immune response. Moreover, lc-ProliHH elicited robust recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils at early stage of transplantation, and being cleared by macrophages caused the engraftment efficiency reduction.Based on these findings, we designed to treat recipient with Dexamethasone (Dex), which decreased the response of innate immune cells and significantly increased the transplantation efficiency to a level approximate to PHH in the liver-injured mice. Furthermore, ProliHH organoid reduced the expression of cytokine genes and behaved close to mature hepatocyte, and as a result, ameliorated their transplantation efficiency as well.

Project description:Primary human hepatocytes (PHH) are a main instrument in drug metabolism research and in the prediction of drug-induced phase I/II enzyme induction in humans. The HepG2 liver-derived cell line is commonly used as a surrogate for human hepatocytes, but their use in ADME and toxicity studies can be limited because of lowered basal levels of metabolizing enzymes. Despite their widespread use, the transcriptome of HepG2 cells compared to PHH is not well characterized. In this study, microarray analysis was conducted to ascertain the differences and similarities in mRNA expression between HepG2 cells and human hepatocytes before and after exposure to a panel of fluoroquinolone compounds. Comparison of the naÃ¯ve HepG2 cell and PHH transcriptomes revealed a substantial number of basal gene expression differences. When HepG2 cells were dosed with a series of fluoroquinolones, trovafloxacin, which has been associated with human idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity, induced substantially more gene expression changes than the other quinolones, similar to previous observations with PHH. While TVX-treatment resulted in many gene expression differences between HepG2 cells and PHH, there were also a number of TVX-induced commonalities, including genes involved in RNA processing and mitochondrial function. Taken together, these results provide insight for interpretation of results from drug metabolism and toxicity studies conducted with HepG2 cells in lieu of PHH, and could provide further insight into the mechanistic evaluation of TVX-induced hepatotoxicity. Experiment Overall Design: HepG2 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD). The cells were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad,CA) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum under a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere using T-162 plastic culture flasks. The cells were split when they reached approximately 70-85% confluence after washing with sterile phosphate buffered saline and detachment of the cells with trypsin (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The HepG2 cells were cultured in 6-well plastic plates upon exposure to quinolone compounds. Primary human hepatocytes, obtained from In Vitro Technologies (IVT, Baltimore, MD) in 6-well type I collagen coated plates, were cultured with 2 mL of Hepatocyte Incubation Media (IVT) at 37Â°C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours after receipt. Experiment Overall Design: For the genomic experiments, quinolone compounds, dissolved in 0.1 N KOH (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), were added to the wells with fresh media at levels of 100 ÂµM (HepG2) or 400 ÂµM (primary human hepatocytes) for 24 hours using at least two technical replicates. Trovafloxacin was dosed using two separate preparations of HepG2 cells and two separate donors of human hepatocytes. Vehicle control cells were dosed with an equivalent volume of 0.1N KOH as the experimental samples. For intracellular comparison (HepG2 cells vs PHH), naÃ¯ve cells were harvested using TRIzolâ?¢ reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from the TRIzolâ?¢ extracts using the standard procedure from the manufacturer. O.D. at 260 nm determined RNA concentrations. RNA quality was accessed using an Agilent Technologies bioanalyzer before proceeding to microarray sample preparation. Microarray analysis was performed using the standard protocol provided by Affymetrix Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) and as previously described, starting with 5 Âµg of total RNA (Richert et al., 2006). Experiment Overall Design: Fragmented, labeled cRNA was hybridized to an Affymetrix human genome U133A array, which contains sequences corresponding to roughly 22,200 transcripts at 45Â°C overnight. The arrays were washed, developed, and scanned.
