Project description:Biliary diseases can cause inflammation, fibrosis, bile duct destruction and eventually liver failure. There are no curative treatments for biliary disease except for liver transplantation. New therapies are urgently required. We have purified human Biliary Epithelial Cells (hBEC) from discarded human livers. hBECs were tested as a cell therapy in a mouse model of biliary disease where the conditional deletion of Mdm2 in cholangiocytes causes senescence, biliary strictures and fibrosis. hBEC are expandable, phenotypically stable and help restore biliary structure and function, highlighting their regenerative capacity and a potential alternative to liver transplantation for biliary disease.

Project description:A recent multicenter genetic exploration of the biliary atresia splenic malformation (BASM) syndrome identified mutations in the ciliary gene PKD1L1 as candidate etiologic contributors. We hypothesized that deletion of Pkd1l1 in hepatoblasts would provide a mouse model of the developmental cholangiopathy of BA. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from total RNA-seq, isolated from the livers of Pkd1l1Fl/Fl (Fl/Fl) and Pkd1l1Fl/Fl x AFP-CRE mice (Pkd1l1ΔExon8/ΔExon8 Liver knockout ; LKO) at 7 weeks.

Project description:Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) represents the most commonly diagnosed precursor lesion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), however the cell-of-origin remains unclear. Herein, we show that pancreas-specific activation in mice of nuclear-targeted glycogen synthase kinase-3β and oncogenic KRasG12D leads to the loss of acinar cells, the expansion of ductal cells, and the rapid development of IPMN with low-grade dysplasia. RNA-sequencing identified the expression of several ductal stem cell lineage genes including the water channel AQP5. The Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal cell pool was proliferative, phenotypically distinct from mature pancreatic ductal cells, and deletion of AQP5 limited IPMN development. Significantly, Aqp5 is highly expressed in human IPMN along with GSK-3b suggesting that human preneoplastic lesions likely arise from the expansion of an Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal stem cell. Altogether, these data identify Aqp5+ ductal cells in the mouse and human pancreas as the likely cell-of-origin for IPMN.

Project description:To investigate Keratin 19 (KRT19) expression dynamics in pancreatic development, we established a human pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-based KRT19-mCherry reporter system in various genetic backgrounds to monitor KRT19 expression from ist endogenous gene locus. A genuine differentiation protocol to generate mature pancreatic duct-like organoids (PDLO) was applied. While KRT19/mCherry expression became evident at early endoderm stage, mCherry signal was present in nearly all cells at pancreatic endoderm (PE) and pancreatic progenitor (PP) stage. Interestingly, despite homogenous KRT19 expression, the mCherry positivity dropped to 50% after ductal maturation, indicating a permanent switch from biallelic to monoallelic expression. DNA methylation profiling separated the distinct differentiation intermediates with site specific DNA methylation patterns occuring at the KRT19 locus during ductal maturation. Accordingly, the monoallelic switch was partially reverted upon treatment with a DNA-methyltransferase inhibitor.

Project description:Biliary tree and pancreatic duct can appear in different variations whose proper understanding is obligatory for surgeons. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is considered a safe and accurate tool for evaluating biliary tree and pancreatic duct. Typical anatomy for right hepatic duct (RHD) and left hepatic duct (LHD) is reported as 57% and 63%, respectively. The most common (4-10%) pancreatic anomaly is divisum. In the present study, we evaluated and determined the prevalence of biliary tree and pancreatic duct variations among patients at a university hospital. The MRCP records of 370 patients from 2015 to 2017 were obtained for cross-sectional study. Images were retrospectively reviewed for variations by two independent senior radiologists. Demographic data were obtained for all the patients. Huang et al. classification was used for RHD and LHD variations. The cystic duct was reported based on its course and insertion pattern. The pancreatic duct was observed for the presence of divisum, its course, and configuration. Three hundred and twenty-five patients were included in the final study. Most commonly observed variant for RHD were A1 (34.2%) and A2 (32.2%). For LHD, B1 (71.4%) was the most common variant. Cystic duct insertion was commonly seen as right lateral insertion (27.7%). Pancreatic divisum was observed in 0.6% of cases. Nationality, origin, and gender-specific variations were obtained. Variations in biliary anatomy and pancreatic duct are very diverse and extend from the intrahepatic biliary system down to the pancreas. Performing a similar study on a larger population is mandatory to illustrate the range of variations present within the community.

Project description:In several clinical situations, including resection of malignant or benign biliary lesions, reconstruction of the biliary system using the Roux-en-Y jejunum limb has been adopted as the standard procedure. The basic technique and the procedural knowledge essential for most gastroenterological surgeons are described in this article, along with a video supplement. Low complication rates involving anastomotic insufficiency or stricture can be achieved by using proper surgical techniques, even following small bile duct reconstruction. Using the ropeway method to stabilize the bile duct and jejunal limb allows precise mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis with interrupted sutures of the posterior row of the anastomosis. Placement of a transanastomotic stent tube is the second step. The final step involves suturing the anterior row of the anastomosis. In contrast to the lower extrahepatic bile duct, the wall of the hilar or intrahepatic bile duct can be recognized within the fibrous connective tissue in the Glissonean pedicle. The portal side of the duct should be selected for the posterior wall during anastomosis owing to its thickness. Meticulous inspection to avoid overlooking small bile ducts could decrease the chance of postoperative intractable bile leakage. In reconstruction of small or fragile branches, a transanastomotic stent tube could work as an anchor for the anastomosis.

Project description:IntroductionBile duct involvement is a key finding of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The aim of this study was to evaluate baseline ductopenia and disease progression.MethodsRetrospective longitudinal histological follow-up of treatment-naive patients with PBC.ResultsEighty-three patients were included, with ductopenia correlated to fibrosis stage at baseline. The cumulative incidence of severe ductopenia remained stable after 5 years, whereas fibrosis continually increased over time. Baseline AST-to-Platelet Ratio Index and elevated alkaline phosphatase >2 times the normal with abnormal bilirubin were associated with ductopenia progression.DiscussionBile duct injury does not seem to follow the same course as fibrosis in PBC.

Project description:The intrahepatic biliary ducts transport bile produced by the hepatocytes out of the liver. Defects in biliary cell differentiation and biliary duct remodeling cause a variety of congenital diseases including Alagille Syndrome and polycystic liver disease. While the molecular pathways regulating biliary cell differentiation have received increasing attention (Lemaigre, 2010), less is known about the cellular behavior underlying biliary duct remodeling. Here, we have identified a novel gene, claudin 15-like b (cldn15lb), which exhibits a unique and dynamic expression pattern in the hepatocytes and biliary epithelial cells in zebrafish. Claudins are tight junction proteins that have been implicated in maintaining epithelial polarity, regulating paracellular transport, and providing barrier function. In zebrafish cldn15lb mutant livers, tight junctions are observed between hepatocytes, but these cells show polarization defects as well as canalicular malformations. Furthermore, cldn15lb mutants show abnormalities in biliary duct morphogenesis whereby biliary epithelial cells remain clustered together and form a disorganized network. Our data suggest that Cldn15lb plays an important role in the remodeling process during biliary duct morphogenesis. Thus, cldn15lb mutants provide a novel in vivo model to study the role of tight junction proteins in the remodeling of the biliary network and hereditary cholestasis.
