Integrative gene expression profiling analysis of human quiescent hepatic stellate cells

ABSTRACT: Unveiling the regulatory pathways maintaining hepatic stellate cells (HSC) in a quiescent (q) phenotype is essential to develop new therapeutic strategies to treat fibrogenic diseases. To uncover the miRNA-mRNAs regulatory interactions in qHSCs, HSCs were FACS-sorted from healthy livers and activated HSCs were generated in vitro. MiRNA Taqman array analysis showed HSCs expressed a low number of miRNA, from which 46 were down-regulated and 212 up-regulated upon activation. Computational integration of miRNA and gene expression profiles revealed that 66% of qHSCs miRNAs correlated with more than 6 altered targeted mRNAs (17,28±10,7 targets/miRNA), whereas aHSC-associated miRNAs had an average of 1,49 targeted genes. Interestingly, interaction networks generated by miRNA-targeted genes in qHSCs were associated with key HSCs activation processes. Next, selected miRNAs were validated in healthy and cirrhotic human livers and miR-192 was chosen for functional analysis. Down-regulation of miR-192 in HSC was found to be an early event during fibrosis progression in mouse models of liver injury. Moreover, mimic assays for miR-192 in HSCs revealed its role in HSC activation, proliferation and migration. Together, these results uncover the importance of miRNAs in the maintenance of qHSC phenotype and form the basis for understanding the regulatory networks in HSCs.

In vitro activation and reversion of human primary hepatic stellate cells

Project description:Liver fibrosis is characterized by the excessive formation and accumulation of matrix proteins as a result of wound healing in the liver. A main event during fibrogenesis is the activation of the liver resident quiescent hepatic stellate cell (qHSC). Recent studies suggest that reversion of the activated HSC (aHSC) phenotype into a quiescent-like phenotype could be a major cellular mechanism underlying fibrosis regression in the liver, thereby offering new therapeutic perspectives for the treatment of liver fibrosis. The goal of the present study is to identify experimental conditions that can revert the activated status of human HSCs and to map the molecular events associated with this phenotype reversion by gene expression profiling Transcriptomic profiling of primary human quiescent HSCs (qHSCs), in vitro activated HSCs (aHSCs) and in vitro reverted HSCs (rHSCs). The cell types come from different donors (This is detailed in the original manuscript.).

miR-125a Confers Multi-Lineage Long-Term Repopulating Stem Cell Activity to Murine and Human Hematopoietic Progenitors

Project description:Umbilical cord blood (CB) is a non-invasive, convenient and broadly used source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. However, limiting numbers of HSCs remain a major constraint for its clinical application. One feasible option would be to expand HSCs to improve therapeutic outcome, however available protocols and the molecular mechanisms governing the self-renewal of HSC are unclear. Here we show that ectopic expression of a single miRNA, miR-125a, in purified murine and human multipotent progenitors (MPP) resulted in increased self-renewal and robust long-term multi-lineage repopulation in transplanted recipient mice. Using quantitative proteomics and Western blot analysis, we identified a restricted set of miR-125a targets which revealed the involvement of the MAP kinase signaling pathway in conferring long-term repopulating capacity to multipotent progenitors in human and mice. Our findings offer the innovative potential to use MPP with enhanced self-renewal activity to augment limited sources of HSC to improve clinical protocols.

Expression patterns of key miRNAs in end-stage ADPKD kidneys

Project description:To investigate altered expression patterns of key miRNAs in end-stage ADPKD kidneys, a miRNA microarray analysis was performed using non-ADPKD and ADPKD kidney tissue samples. As a result, total 19 miRNAs were significantly changed in the ADPKD samples compared with non-ADPKD samples. Among these miRNAs, the expression level of the miR-192 family including miR-192 and miR-194 were significantly downregulated in ADPKD.

Global Identification of the miR-130a targetome in human HSPC Reveals a Novel Role for TBL1XR1 in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self-Renewal and t(8;21) AML

Project description:Gene expression profiling and proteome analysis of normal and malignant hematopoietic stem cells have firmly established the existence of shared core stemness properties. However, the discordance between mRNA and protein signatures underscores an important role for post-transcriptional regulation by miRNAs in governing this critical nexus. Here, we identify miR-130a as a regulator of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and lineage differentiation. Integration of mass spectrometry and chimeric AGO2 eCLIP-seq identify TBL1XR1 as a primary miR-130a target. TBL1XR1 loss of function impairs lymphoid differentiation and expands long-term (LT)-HSC. This post-transcriptional regulation by miR-130a is usurped in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Reduction of miR-130a levels in t(8;21) AML cells results in altered chromatin binding and composition of the AML1-ETO complex, demonstrating that miR-130a is critical for maintaining the oncogenic molecular program mediated by AML1-ETO. Our study establishes that comprehensive identification of the miRNA targetome within primary tissue enables the discovery of novel genes and molecular networks underpinning stemness properties of normal and leukemic cells.

Agilent HSC

Project description:Under conditions of the liver exposed to chronic insults such as viral infection, excess deposition of fat, regurgitation of bile acids etc., hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) change from quiescent to activated states and proliferate. During this process, HSCs secrete collagen and metalloproteinases. Involvement of collagen in sustaining activated HSC (aHSC) survival was postulated, although the precise mechanisms underlying the survival and apoptosis of aHSCs is still controversial. In this study, we compared the expression profiles between quiescent and activated HSCs to clarify the mechanisms of apoptosis for exploration of novel anti-fibrosis modalities.

Aberrantly microRNA profiling in cancerous hepatocytes versus normal primary hepatocytes

Project description:MicroRNAs is a rapidly expanding area expected to change the way in which diseases will be diagnosed, treated and monitored in the future. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows a rising incidence with high mortality but lack of effective targeted therapies. We identified the aberrantly expressed miRNAs involved in HCC through the comparison of miRNA expression profiling in cancerous hepatocytes with that in normal primary human hepatocytes and found 37 dysregulated miRNAs in HCC. There were 9 up-regulated miRNAs and 28 down-regulated miRNAs in HCC, of which, miR-221 and miR-99b were the most overexpressed miRNAs, while miR-375, miR-192, miR-146b-5p, miR-885-5p, miR-122* and miR-122 were noted for their greatest changes of decreased expression. These aberrantly expressed miRNAs may provide insights into pathogenesis of HCC and thus may be used for diagnosis and therapy.

Lineage-specific Transcription Factors suppress activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells during Liver Fibrosis

Project description:Development of liver fibrosis is associated with activation of quiescent Hepatic Stellate Cells (qHSCs) into Collagen Type I-producing myofibroblasts (aHSCs). Cessation of liver injury often results in fibrosis resolution and inactivation of aHSCs/myofibroblasts into a quiescent-like state (iHSCs). To identify the molecular drivers of these HSC phenotypes, we investigated the global gene expression and epigenetic changes in H3K4me2 and H3K27ac marks of primary murine and human HSCs. Motif enrichment identified ETS1/2, GATA4/6, and IRF1/2 transcription factors (TFs) as putative regulators of the HSC lineage identity in murine and human HSCs. shRNA-knockdown of these TFs resulted in marked upregulation of fibrogenic and inflammatory genes and a loss of HSC-specific phenotype in targeted murine HSCs. In support, in vivo HSC-specific ablation of GATA4, GATA6, and ETS1, and ETS1 target genes NF1 (neurofibromin 1) and PPARγ exacerbated development of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in LratΔGATA6, LratETS1+/-, LratΔNF1, and LratΔPPARγ mice (vs wt littermates), but only LratΔGATA6, and LratΔPPARγ mice exhibited a defect in fibrosis resolution due to the lack of HSC inactivation. Therapeutic administration of a PPARγ agonist accelerated regression of liver fibrosis in CCl4-induced wt, but not in LratΔPPARγ mice, suggesting that PPARγ signaling in HSCs is critical for HSC inactivation and regression of liver fibrosis. Common transcription factors determine the phenotype of mouse and human HSCs. Similar to murine HSCs, human aHSCs can revert into a quiescent-like, inactivated phenotype. GATA4, GATA6, and PPARγwere identified as an important driver of human HSC inactivation.

Transcriptome of human liver cells and culture-activated hepatic stellate cells

Project description:The molecular determinants of a healthy human liver cell phenotype remain largely uncharacterized. In addition, the gene expression changes associated with activation of primary human hepatic stellate cells, a key event during fibrogenesis, remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide the transriptomic profile underpinning the healthy phenotype of human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as activated HSCs (aHSCs) We assess the transcriptome for purified, non-cultured human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as culture-activated HSCs (aHSCs). Hepatocytes (n=2 donors), LSECs (n=3), qHSCs (n=3) and in vitro activated HSCs (n=3; from the same donors as the qHSCs and LSECs) were used for this study.
