Project description:The TRIB1 locus has been associated with lipid dysfunction. The underlying mechanisms were investigated by examining the transcription landscape in response to TRIB1 suppression in human primary hepatocytes. Primary hepatocytes from 3 distinct donors were exposed for 48 h to an antisense nucleotide targeting TRIB1 or a control nucleotide. The resulting impacts on the transcription profile were assessed using Human Transcriptome 2.0 microarrays (Affymetrix).
Project description:Hepatocytes isolated from DILI patient's liver (#2064) were cultured for a long term using irrMEF and EMUKK-05, and comprehensive gene expression was compared between Puromycin-treated and non-treated groups. In addition, comprehensive gene expression analysis of human mature hepatocytes, primary cultured cells, and ips cell-derived hepatocyte-like cells were performed as controls. Two-condition experiment, Proliferating hepatocytes (ProilHH) vs. puromycin-treated ProliHH. Primary human hepatocytes (PHH) and isolated humen mature hepatocytes (MH) and human iPSC-derived hepatocyte-like cells (HLC) as controls.

Project description:Human liver organoids are expected to be a hepatocyte source for preclinical in vitro studies. Although these organoids show long-term proliferation, their hepatic functions remain low. Here, we propose a novel method for two dimensional (2D)-cultured hepatic differentiation from human liver organoids. When cultured under a 2D condition, the single cells from human liver organoids were seeded on collagen type I-coated plates. Then, optimal conditions for hepatic differentiation were screened using several reagents. We determined the 2D-cultured hepatocyte differentiation method from human liver organoids. Hepatic gene expressions in human liver organoids-derived hepatocytes (Org-HEPs) were greatly increased, compared to those in human liver organoids. The metabolic activities of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2C8, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 were at levels comparable to those in primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). These results suggested that human liver organoids could be differentiated into highly functional hepatocytes in 2D culture. We also treated Org-HEPs and PHHs with hepatotoxic drugs. The cell viability of Org-HEPs was almost the same as that of PHHs, suggesting that Org-HEPs could be used for hepatotoxicity tests. Thus, Org-HEPs will be useful for pharmaceutical research.
Project description:Primary human hepatocytes were treated with compounds modulating steatosis: palmitic acid, compound C and metformin qPCR miRNA expression profiling. Hepatocytes were treated as indicated in the summary. Equal amount total RNA was pooled prior to miRNA expression analysis
Project description:We performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to characterize possible differences in the transcriptome of primary human aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle cells abrogated of NEIL3 mRNA via antisense oligonucleotides targeting NEIL3 exon 4, compared with control cells treated with a scramble version of the same antisense oligonucleotide
Project description:Microarrays were used to examine gene expression differences between primary human hepatocytes and hESC derived hepatoblast cultures treated or non-treated with cAMP. hESC's were differentiated with a hepatic cell lineage specific protocol that included the use of a 3-dimensional cell aggregation culturing technique. Followed by cAMP signaling, this promoted the maturation of hepatoblasts into a more hepatocyte-like population. Importantly, key enzymes related to liver function show that cAMP induced populations have a gene expression profile that is similar to primary human hepatocytes. Total RNA obtained from cultured primary hepatocytes and hESC derived hepatic populations.
