Project description:The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear receptor activated by bile acids and regulates bile acid metabolism, glucose and cholesterol homeostasis. From mouse studies we know that the novel FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA) regulates expression of many genes in the liver, but there is currently no data on the effects of OCA on human liver gene expression. This is especially relevant since the novel FXR agonist OCA is currently tested in clinical trials for the treatment of several diseases, such as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Type 2 Diabetes. In this study we investigate the effect of OCA treatment on gene expression profiles and localization of FXR to the genome in relevant liver samples. ChIP-Seq for FXR in Liver tissue from 2 male mice treated with OCA/INT-747 (10mg/kg/day) and 2 male mice treated with vehicle (1% methyl cellulose).
Project description:Purpose: We investigated the tetrachloroethylene associated changes in kidney transcriptomes among healthy mice, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease mice, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis mice.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30447: Foxa1 Reduces Lipid Accumulation in Human Hepatocytes and Is Down-regulated in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver (HepG2 data) GSE30450: Foxa1 Reduces Lipid Accumulation in Human Hepatocytes and Is Down-regulated in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver (hepatocytes data) Refer to individual Series
Project description:The progression from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients is one of the major causes of liver-related death worldwide and have limited effective therapies. We comparing the circular RNomics of liver fibroblasts isolated from patients with NAFLD-caused cirrhosis and the ones without NAFLD.
