Project description:Here, we generated full-length single cell transcriptome data for ~9,000 cells from clinical samples of 11 liver cancer patients to delineate cellular relationships of diverse malignant, immune and stromal cells. We identified an immunomodulatory fibroblast population, FAP+CCL19+CCL21+ CAFs, that expressed signatures of fibroblastic reticular cells and was associated with favorable prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These CAFs exhibited the potential to recruit NK cells and regulate tumor-associated macrophages, and appeared to be regulated by CXCL12+ endothelial cells in tumors through specific ligand-receptor interaction. Further, we uncovered clonal HBV integration events enriched in tumor cells, and trajectory analysis on tumor cells with clonal HBV integration events revealed that hepatoblast-like cells differentiated into a terminal state with high expression of an immune-resistance program. The intercellular crosstalks between CAFs and cancer cells, macrophages, and NK cells, combined with HBV-based lineage tracing, provide a better understanding for functional roles of CAFs in the HCC microenvironment, and the relationship between HBV integration and liver malignancies.

Project description:Co-treatment with soluble CD74 and MIF induced necroptosis in cardiac myofibroblasts. The underlying mechanism of sCD74/MIF-induced necroptosis are still unkown. We used a microarray to identify pathways regulated by co-treatment with sCD74 and MIF .

Project description:CD74, a Type II membrane glycoprotein and MHC class II chaperone (Ii), is normally expressed by cells associated with the immune system. CD74 also forms heterodimers with CD44 to generate receptors to macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a proinflammatory cytokine. Following targeted Cre-mediated deletion of Ikkβ in IkkβDeltaHep mice (a strain highly susceptible to chemically-induced hepatotoxicity and hepatocarcinogenesis), CD74 is abundantly expressed by hepatocytes throughout liver acini (as detected by specific Western blots and immunohistochemical stains); it is not observed in either control IkkβF/F hepatocytes or embryonic fibroblasts from Ikkβ-/- mice. Constitutive CD74 expression in IkkβDeltaHep hepatocytes is also accompanied by significantly augmented expression of CD44 and genes associated with antigen processing and host defense. These observations suggest that IkkβDeltaHep hepatocytes might directly respond to MIF signaling, accounting partly for the enhanced susceptibility of IkkβDeltaHep mice to hepatotoxins and hepatocarcinogens, and also might exhibit unusual immunological properties including antigen presentation. Total RNA samples were obtained from four 6-8 week-old male mice. The four RNA samples were processed as described in the PROTOCOLS section below.

Project description:CD74 (invariant chain), expressed on B cells, is directly involved in shaping the B cell repertoire by regulating their survival in health and disease. Binding of its ligand, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), induces a cascade that results in CD74 intramembrane proteolysis, and the release of the CD74 intracellular domain (CD74-ICD). CD74-ICD translocates to the nucleus where it induces activation of transcription. In the current study, we characterized the transcription factor activity of CD74-ICD. Following histone modifications we are able to characterize CD74's binding sites as regulatory areas.

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could cause hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV-mediated pathogenesis is only partially understood, but X protein (HBx) reportedly possesses oncogenic potential. Exosomes are small membrane vesicles with diverse functions released by various cells including hepatocytes, and HBV harnesses cellular exosome biogenesis and export machineries for virion morphogenesis and secretion. Therefore, HBV infection might cause changes in exosome contents with functional implications for both virus and host. In this project, exosome protein content changes induced by HBV and HBx were quantitatively analyzed by SILAC/LC-MS/MS. Exosomes prepared from SILAC-labeled hepatoma cell line Huh-7 transfected with HBx, wildtype or HBx-null HBV replicon plasmids were analyzed by LC-MS/MS.

Project description:Lasting B-cell persistence depends on survival signals that are transduced by cell surface receptors. Here, we describe a novel biological mechanism essential for survival and homeostasis of normal peripheral mature B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, regulated by the heparin-binding cytokine, midkine (MK), and its proteoglycan receptor, the receptor-type tyrosine phosphatase zeta (RPTPζ). We demonstrate that MK initiates a signaling cascade leading to B cell survival, by binding to RPTPζ. In mice lacking PTPRZ, the proportion and number of the mature B cell population is reduced. Our results emphasize a unique and critical function for MK signaling in the previously described MIF/CD74 induced survival pathway. Stimulation of CD74 with MIF leads to c-Met activation, resulting in elevation of MK expression in both normal mouse splenic B and CLL cells. Our results indicate that MK and RPTPζ are important regulators of the B cell repertoire. These findings could pave the way towards understanding the mechanisms shaping B cell survival, and suggest novel therapeutic strategies based on the blockade of the midkine/RPTPζ-dependent survival pathway. 2 samples were incubated with or without MIF.

Project description:This study aimed to better characterize the repertoire of serum HBV RNAs during chronic HBV infection in humans, which remains understudied. Using RT-PCR, qPCR, RNA-sequencing and immuno-precipitation, we found that (i) >50% of serum samples bore different amounts of HBV replication-derived RNAs (rd-RNAs); (ii) a few samples contained RNAs transcribed from integrated HBV DNA including 5'-HBV-human-3' RNAs (integrant-derived RNAs or id-RNAs) and 5'-human-HBV-3' transcripts as a minority of serum HBV RNAs; (iii) spliced HBV RNAs were abundant in <50% of analyzed samples; (iv) most serum rd-RNAs were polyadenylated via conventional HBV polyadenylation signal; (v) pre-genomic RNA (pgRNA) was the major component of the pool of serum RNAs; (vi) area of HBV positions 1531-1739 had very high RNA reads coverage and thus should be used as a target for detecting serum HBV RNAs; (vii) vast majority of rd-RNAs and pgRNA were associated with HBV virions, but not with unenveloped capsids, exosomes, classic microvesicles or apoptotic vesicles and bodies; (viii) considerable rd-RNAs presence in the circulating immune complexes was found in a few samples; and (ix) serum rcDNA and rd-RNAs should be quantified simultaneously to evaluate HBV replication status and efficacy of anti-HBV therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs. In summary, sera contain various HBV RNA types of different origin, which are likely secreted via different mechanisms. In addition, since we previously showed that id-RNAs were abundant or predominant HBV RNAs in many of liver and hepatocellular carcinoma tissues comparing to rd-RNAs, there is likely a mechanism favoring the egress of the replication-derived RNAs.

Project description:Hepatitis B Virus constitutes a major threat to global public health by infecting hepatocytes, initiating and driving the progress to end-stage liver disease and liver cancer. Curing treatment for HBV infection is yet unavailable, mainly due to unmet gaps in current understanding of HBV-host interaction. Here, multi-omics interrogations were conducted to generate the first landscape of HBV-induced global changes in host transcriptome, translatome and proteome, which identified multiple translatomic events that HBV orchestrated to remodel host proteostasis networks and afford micro-environments essential for HBV proliferation and persistence.
