Proteomic characterization of hepatic expression signatures affected in ZHX2 liver conditional knockout mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The liver has an exceptional capacity for regeneration which is crucial for maintaining liver function. Since transcriptional regulation of genes controlling metabolism and cell division is a hallmark of liver regeneration (LR), we investigated the role of Zinc-finger and homeboxes 2 (ZHX2), a transcription factor critical for regulating liver postnatal gene expression and hepatic lipid hemostasis, in LR. Our results show that hepatocyte-specific Zhx2 knockout (Zhx2-KOhep) enhances LR after 2/3 partial hepatectomy in mice. Proteomics assays revealed higher mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in Zhx2-KOhep mouse livers. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and ATP generation assays confirmed the enhanced OXPHOS in Zhx2-KOhep mouse livers and human hepatocytes with ZHX2 knockdown.
