Project description:To investigate liver transcriptomes in the proliferative stage of early liver regeneration, we here established 70% partial hepatectomy model and performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of regenerating livers at different time points.
Project description:To explore how Mier1 influence the genome H3K27ac levels during liver regeneration, we performed H3K27ac chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing in control and liver-specific Mier1 ko liver tissues at 0 h and 24 h after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx). The mice we used were knocked in a Cre-induced Cas9 expression cassette. Through tail vein injection, we delivered the AAV expressing Cre-recombinase under TBG promoter, and sgRNA targeting Mier1 (AAV-Mier1 sgRNA), into the adult Cas9 knockin mice to knock out the Mier1 gene in liver. AAV vectors with no sgRNA inserted (AAV-Cre) were used in control animals.Then we performed 70% partial hepatectomy, 3 weeks after AAV injection. Consistent with the increased expression of cell cycle genes during liver regeneration, we observed increased signals of H3K27ac at 24 h after hepatectomy, especially near some cell cycle genes, after MIER1 depletion in liver tissue.
Project description:To refine the timeframe of liver regeneration initiation and investigate the temporal characteristics of metabolic reprogramming in the preparatory stage, we here established partial hepatectomy model and performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of regenerating livers at different time points.
Project description:To investigate the chromatin profiling and transcriptional regulatory mechanism in the preparatory stage of liver regeneration, we here analyzed the genome-wide profiles of H3K27ac by CUT&Tag using control and renewal liver samples at 12 hours after surgery section.
Project description:MicroRNAs have been reported to control liver regeneration though the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. We used microarrays to examine microRNA profiles in the mouse liver at 48 hrs versus 0 hr post 70% partial hepatectomy.
Project description:To explore how Mier1 affiects liver regeneration, we specifically knocked out Mier1 in mouse liver through adeno-associated virus (AAV). The mice we used were knocked in a Cre-induced Cas9 expression cassette. Through tail vein injection, we delivered the AAV expressing Cre-recombinase under TBG promoter, and sgRNA targeting Mier1 (AAV-Mier1 sgRNA), into the adult Cas9 knockin mice to knock out the Mier1 gene in liver. AAV vectors with no sgRNA inserted (AAV-Cre) were used in control animals. To assess the role of MIER1 in liver regeneration, we performed 70% partial hepatectomy, 3 weeks after AAV injection. We then performed RNA sequencing analysis on liver tissues collected from control and Mier1 ko groups at 0 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h and 72 h after partial hepatectomy. Interestingly, although MIER1 depletion did not cause a significant difference in expression of cell cycle genes before surgery, the increase of cell cycle gene expression during liver regeneration was significantly enhanced after MIER1 loss. Further analysis showed that after partial hepatectomy, MIER1 loss caused significant upregulation of genes enriched in cell proliferation relevant pathways.
Project description:To explore how Mier1 affiects high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice liver regeneration, we specifically knocked out liver Mier1 in high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice through adeno-associated virus (AAV). The mice we used were knocked in a Cre-induced Cas9 expression cassette. Through tail vein injection, we delivered the AAV expressing Cre-recombinase under TBG promoter, and sgRNA targeting Mier1 (AAV-Mier1 sgRNA), into the adult Cas9 knockin mice to knock out the Mier1 gene in liver. AAV vectors with no sgRNA inserted (AAV-Cre) were used in control animals. To assess the role of MIER1 in liver regeneration, we performed 70% partial hepatectomy on high-fat diet-fed, aging and adipose tissue Lipe knockout mice. We then performed RNA sequencing analysis on liver tissues collected from control and Mier1 ko groups at 0 h, 48h or 36 h after partial hepatectomy. RNA-seq analysis showed that after partial hepatectomy, MIER1 loss caused significant upregulation of genes enriched in cell proliferation relevant pathways.
