Transcriptional analysis of murine biliary atresia identifies macrophage heterogeneity and subset-specific macrophage functions


ABSTRACT: Macrophages play an important role in disease progression of pediatric cholestatic liver disease, particularly biliary atresia (BA); however, the restorative versus pathogenic role for precise macrophage subsets remains poorly defined. We aimed to distinguish the transcriptional profiles and roles of defined macrophage subset(s) in murine BA. Ly6c+ macrophages demonstrated the greatest increase in numbers and percent of total macrophages in murine BA versus saline controls whereas MHCII+ macrophages decreased. Transcriptional changes in murine BA MHCII+ macrophages included reduced expression of the Kupffer cell gene signature, lower expression of genes involved in homeostatic processes, and increased expression of genes involved in inflammatory processes. Ly6c+ macrophages in murine BA showed increased expression for Hif1a and other genes involved in the cellular response to hypoxia. Among all subsets, the number of Ly6c+ macrophages exhibited the strongest correlation with severity of histologic liver injury by Ishak score. Our data identify specific pathways upregulated in Ly6c vs MHCII+ macrophage subsets in murine BA. Transcriptional similarities between murine BA and human cholestatic macrophages may enable translation of future mechanistic studies to new macrophage subset-specific therapies.
