Phenotype and function of ex vivo expanded liver progenitor-like cells through biliary epithelial cells reversion

ABSTRACT: The current study combined genetic lineage tracing with in vitro small-molecule-based reprogramming to define liver progenitor cells (LPCs) derived from hepatic parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells (NPCs). tdTom+ hepatocytes were isolated from ROSA26tdTomato mice following AAV8-Tbg-Cre-mediated recombination, ALB/GFP-EpCAM- NPCs were isolated from AlbCreERT/R26GFP mice and EpCAM+ biliary epithelial cells (BECs) from wild-type intrahepatic bile ducts. A cocktail of small molecules was used to convert the isolated cells into LPCs.

Phenotype and function of ex vivo expanded liver progenitor-like cells through liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal reversion

Project description:The cellular source for hepatocyte transplantation and liver regeneration in chronically hepatic diseases is a fundamental topic in liver biology. A successful therapeutic approach based on a benificial stem/progenitor cells would involve replacing damaged cells or restoring homeostasis to the areas that underlie the fibrotic response. This study aims to isolate and culture hepatocyte and non-parenchymal cells derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs and NPC-LPCs) to identify a beneficial cell sources for cell-based therapy against chronic liver injury. Two types of lineage tracing models including tdTomato mice with AAV8-TBG-Cre and AlbCreERT/R26GFP were purified for hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells respectively, and cultured for transition to progenitor-like cells (LPCs) in TEM. The differences between them were clarified by RNA sequencing, suggesting that HepLPCs retaining basal levels of hepatic function and transcription factors (TFs), including Foxa3. Organoids and 3D hepatic spheroids culturing systems were used for further analysis of bile duct and hepatic functioning diversity. When transplanting in mice with CCL4 treatment, HepLPCs displayed the characteristics of TFs regulatory reactivation and physiological balance restoration, resulting in a significant improvement in liver fibrosis compared with NPC-LPCs, which are crucial for liver regeneration in the treatment of patients with a broad range of hepatic fibrosis.

Single cell analysis of human fetal liver captures the transcriptional profile of hepatobiliary hybrid progenitors

Project description:The liver parenchyma is composed of hepatocytes and bile duct epithelial cells (BECs). Controversy exists regarding the cellular origin of human liver parenchymal tissue generation during embryonic development, homeostasis or repair. Here we report the existence of a hepatobiliary hybrid progenitor (HHyP) population in human fetal liver using single-cell RNA sequencing. HHyPs are anatomically restricted to the ductal plate of fetal liver and maintain a unique transcriptional profile distinct from fetal hepatocytes, mature hepatocytes and mature BECs. In addition, molecular heterogenicity within the EpCAM+ population of freshly isolated fetal and adult human liver reveals diverse gene expression signatures of hepatic and biliary lineage potential. Finally, we FACS isolated fetal HHyPs and confirmed their hybrid progenitor phenotype in vivo. Our study suggests that hepatobiliary progenitor cells previously identified in mice also exist in humans, and can be distinguished from other parenchymal populations, including mature BECs, by distinct gene expression profiles.

VEGFA mRNA-LNP promote biliary epithelial cell-to-hepatocyte conversion in acute and chronic liver diseases and reverses steatosis and fibrosis

Project description:The goal of this experiment was to analyse transcriptomic changes between Biliary epithelial cells or BECs from the liver of mice treated with Acetaminophen (a drug that causes acute liver injury) in combination with AAV8-Tbg-p21 viral vector to induce hepatocyte senecence. The aim was to understand the impact of injury on transcriptional status of biliary epithelial cells. Briefly, we analyzed mouse liver cells (hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells fractions) obtained by in-situ liver perfusion 48 h after injury. We further extracted cells corresponding to the hepatocyte and biliary epithelial cell gene signature for detailed analysis. Two separate clusters of BECs (BEC1 and BEC2) were further identified and analyzed to study their transcriptional changes and corresponding pathways.

sc-RNA sequencing data of primary liver cells from wildtype, YAPKO,TAZKO and DKO mice

Project description:Background & Aims The Hippo pathway and its transcriptional effectors yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are promising targets for cancer therapy. However, it is not understood if inhibition of one factor is compensated by the activation of the other and if YAP/TAZ-directed perturbation affects cell-cell communication of non-malignant liver-resident cells. Methods Mice with hepatocyte (HC)-/biliary epithelial cell (BEC)-specific deletions of YAP and/or TAZ were generated (YAPKO, TAZKO and double knock-out (DKO)). Liver tissues were investigated by histology, immunohistochemistry, and single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq). Serum samples were analyzed using a cytokine array. Results Liver tissues from YAPKO and DKO mice were characterized by the loss of BECs, liver fibrosis, and necrosis. This phenotype was weakened in DKO tissues compared to specimen from YAPKO animals. YAP expression was induced in different non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) after YAP-depletion in HCs and BECs. Activation of YAP in Kupffer cells (KCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) in subclusters with specific molecular features was independent of cholestasis. Pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) were detected in the serum of YAPKO animals. YAP-interacting TEA domain transcription factor (TEAD) family members bound promoter regions of different secreted factors and may contribute to a severe inflammatory response in mice with YAP-inactivation in HCs and BECs. Conclusions YAP inactivation causes severe liver damage in vivo and concomitant TAZ deletion does not enhance but moderately reduce this phenotype. Furthermore, we describe a new mechanism how YAP inactivation in HCs/BECs contributes to YAP-driven heterologous cell communication originating from NPCs.

Project description:Analysis of changes in gene expression following hepatocyte specific deletion of GATA4 in adult mice. Results showed that the subset of differentially expressed genes had liver specific ontologies.

MicroRNA Expression profiles of mature hepatocytes and foetal liver progenitor cells

Project description:Human liver progenitor cells (LPCs) show therapeutic potential, however, their in vitro culture results in inadequate function and phenotypic instability reflecting incomplete understanding of in vivo processes. Foetal LPCs capable of differentiation to a hepatocyte phenotype were isolated and mRNA expression profiling carried out using Exiqon miRCURY microarrays. This was compared to profiles from mature human hepatocytes. Foetal LPCs exhibit a distinct miRNA profile consistent with a stem cell signature, cell division, and some liver-specific functions.
