Project description:In this work, the effect of splenectomy on liver regeneration was studied. For this purpose in 1 series of experiments the animals were reproduced splenectomy, and after 7 days 70% liver resection was performed. It was found that spleen removal leads to a decrease in the migration of Ly6C+ monocytes into the regenerating liver. Using transcriptional analysis it was shown that spleen and peripheral blood monocytes differ in the expression of genes associated with the synthesis of surface receptors necessary for cell migration. The obtained data explain the reason for the preferential migration of spleen monocytes rather than peripheral blood monocytes into the regenerating liver.
Project description:The aim of our work was to study the expression profile of spleen genes during liver regeneration, to identify possible biologically active substances that affect reparative processes and inflammation in other organs, as well as the state of the monocytic-macrophage and lymphocytic population of the spleen after liver resection. We used microarrays for comparison of spleen gene expression on different time periods after 70% liver resection
Project description:The liver has the unique capacity to regenerate after surgical resection. However, the regulation of liver regeneration is not completely understood. We performed miRNA microarray analyses of liver tissue from Wistar rats at different time points after 70% partial hepatectomy (0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, and 5 days) and after sham laparotomy (12, 24, and 48 hours). We demonstrate that miRNA expression patterns changed during liver regeneration and that these changes were most evident during the peak of DNA replication at 24 hours after resection. Expression of 13 miRNAs, including five members of the let-7 family, was significantly reduced 12-48 hours after resection, whereas 3 miRNAs were significantly upregulated (> 25% change). We provide a temporal miRNA expression dataset of the regenerating rat liver, which indicates a primary function for miRNA during the peak of DNA replication. These data will assist further functional studies on the role of miRNAs during liver regeneration.

This project analyzed the miRNA expression in 30 different sample types of the organism rattus norvegicus. The miRNA expression was compared at 7 different growth time points after liver resection (0, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, 5 days) and at 3 different time points after sham laparotomy (12, 24, and 48 hours). Three biological replicates were used per time point.

Project description:The objective of this study is to evaluate for the first time not only the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on clinical outcome, but also on liver regeneration after liver resection.
Project description:In the partial liver resection and regeneration model, the early regeneration of the liver has strict gene regulation, and the regulation of liver genes is different in different resection proportions, which is a strictly controlled genetic procedure. Different genes are activated in liver resection of different proportions.For example, genes such as apoptotic autophagy inflammation were significantly expressed in 85% of liver resection cases. We used microarrays to describe in detail the global program of gene expression in regenerative livers and identify different classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes in the process.
Project description:The liver regeneration process terminates when the normal liver-mass/body-weight ratio of 2.5 % has been re-established. We aimed to generate and analyse global expression profiles to study the genetic interactions in relation to liver regeneration, to illuminate the genetic interactions between genes regulating the cell cycle and apoptosis, and to clarify the role of TGF-M-CM-^_ signalling in the terminating phase of liver regeneration. Twelve pigs were randomised to either 60% liver resection (n=4), sham operation (n=4) or control animals (n=4). Liver biopsies were taken at time of resection, after three weeks and upon termination the sixth week. Global gene expression profiles in the biopsies were obtained using porcine oligonucleotide microarrays, representing approximately 20000 porcine genes. Microarray analysis revealed a clear dominance of genes regulating apoptosis towards the end of regeneration, compared to the sham and control groups. Caspase Recruitment Domain-Containing Protein 11 (CARD11) was upregulated six weeks after liver resection, suggesting the involvement of the caspase system at this time. Zinc Finger Protein (ZNF490) gene, with a potential negative effect on cell cycle progression and promotion of apoptosis, was only up regulated at three and six weeks after liver resection indicating a central role at this time. TGF-M-CM-^_ was not found to be significantly affected. CARD11 and ZNF490 appear to play a central role in the termination of liver regeneration in the present study. The lack of TGF-M-CM-^_ could indicate that signaling by TGF-M-CM-^_ is not required for termination of liver regeneration. time course, treatment comparison
Project description:Liver regeneration following resection is a complex process relying on coordinated pathways and cell types in the remnant organ. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) have a role in liver regeneration-related angiogenesis but their influence on hepatocyte proliferation and immune modulation during liver regeneration is unclear. We examined the transcriptional response of regenerating liver hepatocytes after major resection in mice with CD11b+Ly6G+ MDSCs (G-MDSCs) depletion using RNA sequencing. Global gene expression profiling of regenerating hepatocytes upon G-MDSC depletion revealed disrupted transcriptional progression from day one to day two after major liver resection. Key genes and pathways related to hepatocyte proliferation and immune response were differentially expressed upon MDSC depletion. This study provides evidence that MDSCs contribute to early liver regeneration by promoting hepatocyte proliferation and modulating the intra-liver immune response. These findings illuminate the multifaceted role of MDSCs in liver regeneration.
