Single cell RNA-seq of single cell suspension from the HCC region of mice fed CD-HFD for 15 mice and treated with FABP5 inhibitor or control

ABSTRACT: We perform scRNA-seq in the livers of C57BL/6 mice fed a CD-HFD for 15 months. Starting from the 13M, mice were treated with FABP5 inhibitor to ameliorate HCC.

Project description:Differential susceptibility to recurrent infection and exacerbation in COPD is not well understood. Here we investigated the potential impact of genetic variation in Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5), a metabolic regulator we previously demonstrated to be downregulated in COPD and further downregulated in patients reporting one or more exacerbation. Through negative binomial analysis of the COPDGene SNP dataset, we identified 5 novel linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the FABP5 locus that were significantly associated with severe exacerbations in a Non-Hispanic White cohort (rs4338057, rs12549270, rs202275, rs202277, and rs202279). We integrated multiple sources of previously published data to prioritize SNPs most likely to exert regulatory function. Ultimately, rs202275 emerged as the lead candidate due to unique alignment with the loading site of a bidirectional RNA Pol II signature of active enhancer utilization in our recently published patient-derived airway epithelial PRO-seq dataset, suggesting a critical regulatory role for the region harboring this variant. Using Micro-C genome-wide chromosome conformation capture, we found that the region harboring rs202275 makes three-dimensional physical contacts with the FABP5 transcription start site (TSS), suggesting the SNP region could regulate FABP5 transcription through a looping mechanism. To examine SNP function, we analyzed previously deposited gene-array data (GEO Accession #GSE42057) from peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples and found that COPD patients carrying the rs202275 risk allele (T) express significantly lower levels of FABP5 compared to non-carrier patients. Seahorse real-time mitochondrial respiration assays in freshly isolated PBMCs further revealed disrupted oxidative phosphorylation in cells from patients carrying the rs202275 risk allele. As macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory toward pro-resolving phenotype is dependent on oxidative metabolism, the functional impact of the rs202275 risk allele and associated reduction in FABP5 transcription may contribute to increased or prolonged systemic inflammation, thereby increasing susceptibility to exacerbation in COPD.
