Periportal macrophages protect against commensal-driven liver inflammation [spatial transcriptomics]

ABSTRACT: The liver is the main gateway from the gut and the unidirectional sinusoidal flow from portal to central veins constitutes heterogenous zonation, such as peri-portal vein (PV) and peri-central vein (CV) zones; however, the functional and molecular differences among liver macrophages in these zones remain poorly understood. Here, intravital multiphoton imaging revealed significantly suppressed in PV zones. Zonation-specific single-cell transcriptome analyses detected an immuno-suppressive macrophage subset highly expressing IL-10 and Marco, a scavenger receptor, enriched in PV zones. Inhibited IL-10 signaling and Marco-deficient conditions impaired the suppressive function of these macrophages. The reduced number of Marco-positive suppressive macrophages in germ-free or antibiotic-treated conditions suggested that gut commensal bacteria were responsible for inducing this specific population. Dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis led to inflammation in liver PV zones, which was more prominent under Marco-deficient conditions. Marco-positive inflammatory macrophages in the human liver are diminished in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), an intractable disease characterized by chronic inflammation around the portal veins and bile ducts. Collectively, commensal bacteria and their pathogenic substances induce Marco-positive immunosuppressive macrophages, consequently limiting excessive inflammation in PV zones. Failure of this self-limiting system may cause hepatic inflammatory disorders, such as PSC.

Single-cell transcriptomics uncovers zonation of function in the mesenchyme during liver fibrosis

Project description:We profile the transcriptomes of ~30,000 mouse single cells to deconvolve the hepatic mesenchyme in healthy and fibrotic liver at high resolution. We reveal spatial zonation of hepatic stellate cells across the liver lobule, designated portal vein-associated HSC and central vein-associated HSC, and uncover an equivalent functional zonation in a mouse model of centrilobular fibrosis. Our work illustrates the power of single-cell transcriptomics to resolve key collagen-producing cells driving liver fibrosis with high precision.

Dose-dependent disruption of hepatic zonation by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in mice: integration of single-nuclei RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics

Project description:2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) dose-dependently induces the development of hepatic fat accumulation and inflammation with fibrosis in mice initially in the portal region. Conversely, differential gene and protein expression is first detected in the central region. To further investigate cell-specific and spatially resolved dose-dependent changes in gene expression elicited by TCDD, single-nuclei RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics were used for livers of male mice gavaged with TCDD every 4 days for 28 days. The proportion of 11 cell (sub)types across 131,613 nuclei dose-dependently changed with 68% of all portal and central hepatocyte nuclei in control mice being overtaken by macrophages following TCDD treatment. We identified 368 (portal fibroblasts) to 1,339 (macrophages) differentially expressed genes. Spatial analyses revealed initial loss of portal identity that eventually spanned the entire liver lobule with increasing dose. Induction of R-spondin 3 (Rspo3) and pericentral Apc, suggested dysregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade in zonally resolved steatosis. Collectively, the integrated results suggest disruption of zonation contributes to the pattern of TCDD-elicited NAFLD pathologies.

RNA-Sequence of the liver after administration of adenovirus associated with metabolic liver zonation

Project description:Metabolic zonation in the liver is broadly defined as spatiotemporal variability in the intra-hepatic distribution of nutrients. R-spondin3 (Rspo3) regulates metabolic features around hepatic central veins. Herein, we demonstrate that altered hepatic metabolic zonation due to Rspo3 contributes to maintaining systemic glucose metabolism and body composition via inter-organ communication mechanism. Hepatic Rspo3 induction in obesity improves obesity-associated features by restoring insulin sensitivity, reversing adipose tissue enlargement and reversing overstimulated adaptive thermogenesis. These remote effects partly consist of neuronal communication via the afferent vagus from the liver. In contrast, hepatic Rspo3 suppression exacerbates diabetes due to insulin resistance and develops fatty liver.

Congestion enriches intra-hepatic macrophages through reverse zonation of CXCL9 in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells

Project description:Background & Aims Congestion alters the microenvironment of the liver sinusoid along the portal-central axis. We studied spatial changes in immune cells in the sinusoid which contribute to congestive fibrosis and portal hypertension (PHTN). Methods To visualize the distribution of immune cells in congestive hepatopathy (CH), we performed imaging mass cytometry (IMC) on liver tissue from patients with CH, Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD), and controls. We performed partial ligation of the inferior vena cava (pIVCL) to simulate CH in mice and isolated primary liver cells for single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to study zonation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). After pIVCL, mice were treated with intraperitoneal injections of AMG487, an inhibitor of the CXCL9 receptor. Results Peri-central macrophages are enriched in CH and FALD. Given the role of CXCL9 in macrophage patterning in the liver, we performed RNA in situ hybridization (RNAish) in CH and determined that CXCL9 was highly expressed in LSECs in FALD, suggesting that LSECs recruit macrophages in CH. After pIVCL, treatment with AMG487 attenuated portal pressures, fibrosis, and intra-hepatic macrophages. To study changes in LSECs which promote macrophage chemotaxis, we performed scRNA-seq after pIVCL and sham procedures. Analysis revealed 3 LSEC subpopulations according to sinusoidal location. RNANish identified peri-central LSECs as the predominant source of CXCL9 in FALD. In vitro analyses revealed that -catenin and hypoxia inducible factor-1α regulate CXCL9 transcription in peri-central LSECs. Conclusions CXCL9 derived from peri-central LSECs enriches intra-hepatic macrophages in CH and FALD, contributing to congestive fibrosis and PHTN. Strategies to target LSEC-derived CXCL9 may prevent the progression of CH and FALD.

Hepatic nutrient and hormone signaling to mTORC1 instructs the postnatal metabolic zonation of the liver

Project description:The metabolic functions of the liver are organized spatially in a phenomenon known as zonation. This spatial organization of metabolic functions is linked to the differential exposure of central and portal hepatocytes to either systemic circulation or nutrient-rich blood afferent from the gastrointestinal tract, respectively. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is the central hub of a critical signaling pathway that links cellular metabolism to fluctuations in the levels of nutrients and insulin. To understand how these two signaling cues are integrated in the liver, we have generated mice with constitutive nutrient and insulin signaling to mTORC1 in hepatocytes (RragaGTP/fl; Tsc1fl/fl; Albumin-CreTg mice). Simultaneous activation of nutrient and hormone signaling to mTORC1 results in impaired establishment of the metabolic zonal identity of hepatocytes, a maturation process that takes place within the first weeks after birth. Mechanistically, a decrease in levels of the morphogenic pathway Wnt/β-catenin in hepatocytes and reduced expression of the Wnt2 ligand by liver endothelial cells after birth underlie this impaired wave of hepatocyte maturation. Lack of postnatal establishment of metabolic zonation of the liver is recapitulated in a model of constant supply of nutrients by total parenteral nutrition to neonatal pigs. Collectively, our work shows the critical role of hepatocyte sensing of fluctuations in nutrients and hormones after birth for triggering the latent metabolic zonation program.

Generation of 3D tubular bile duct within human iPSC-derived liver organoid by incorporating human iPSC-derived blood vessel [RNA-seq]

Project description:Bile duct (BD) structure is crucial for bile secretion to maintain liver homeostasis. Although several human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived liver organoids have been generated, no study recapitulates the development of BD tubules. Here, we focus on an environmental cue to form tubular BDs, specifically the interaction between liver progenitors with the portal vein (PV). We co-culture hiPSC-liver progenitors with PV-like hiPSC-blood vessel (hiPSC-BV) which consists of immature hiPSC-smooth muscle cells (SMC) with a similar character to fetal PV-SMC. After two weeks, liver progenitors within hiPSC-BV-integrated liver organoid (BVLO) differentiate into the cholangiocyte-lineage and establish tubular structures with epithelial characteristics including intercellular junctions, microvilli on the apical membrane, and secretory functions. Liver surface transplanted BVLO showed further BD maturation and connection to the host BD. Taken together, our study developed a novel 3D co-culture method o establish functional human tubular BDs by recapitulating PV-BD interaction.

miRNA expression in spatially-sorted hepatocytes

Project description:The mammalian liver is composed of repeating hexagonal units termed lobules. Spatially-resolved single-cell transcriptomics revealed that about half of hepatocyte genes are differentially expressed across the lobule. Technical limitations impede reconstructing similar global spatial maps of other hepatocyte features. Here, we used zonated surface markers to sort hepatocytes from defined lobule zones with high spatial resolution. We applied transcriptomics, miRNA array measurements and Mass spectrometry proteomics to reconstruct spatial atlases of multiple zonated hepatocyte features. We found that protein zonation largely overlapped mRNA zonation, with the periportal HNF4α as an exception. We identified zonation of miRNAs such as miR-122, and inverse zonation of miRNAs and their hepatocyte target genes, implying potential regulation through zonated mRNA degradation. These targets included the pericentral Wnt receptors Fzd7 and Fzd8 and the periportal Wnt inhibitors Tcf7l1 and Ctnnbip1. Our approach facilitates reconstructing spatial atlases of multiple cellular features in the liver and other structured tissues.

DRAGON 1- Training, Accreditation, Implementation and Safety Evaluation of Combined PVE/HVE

Project description:Brief Summary: Some colorectal liver metastases can only be resected after inducing liver regeneration by portal vein embolization (PVE) to increase size function of the future liver remnant (FLR). While PVE is standard, embolization of portal vein and hepatic veins (PVE/HVE) on one side of the liver may faster and more extensive liver size and function growth. PVE/HVE is a novel procedure and requires a safety and feasibility evaluation in a pretrial (DRAGON1) to then be compared in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to PVE (DRAGON 2).
