Project description:Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout (miR-122loxP/loxP Alb-Cre) and control (miR-122loxP/loxP) male mice. Expression profile of several hundred mRNAs that include miR-122 targets were altered in miR-122 KO livers. Loss of miR-122 in the germ line resulted in significant changes in hepatic gene expression profile. Among the upregulated genes many are direct targets of miR-122 GSM517838-GSM517847: Liver transcriptome profiling of liver specific miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Total liver RNA from 8 week old five control and five liver-specific miR-122 knock out male mice (C57/BL6J background) GSM791601-GSM791604: Liver transcriptome profiling of germ-line miR-122 knockout and control male mice. Liver RNA from 5 week old control (floxed) and miR-122KO mice were analyzed by mouse whole transcriptome profiling.
Project description:Sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) plays important roles in lipid metabolism and cell proliferation. To identify novel target genes of SREBP1c, particularly, in cell cycle regulation, we analyzed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) in liver tissue of wild-type and SREBP1c knockout mice. Liver transcriptome profiles of 12-week-old wild-type (C57BL/6) and SREBP1c KO mice were generated by mRNA-seq, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq4000 by MACROGEN, Inc (Korea).
Project description:Regulation of RNA processing contributes profoundly to tissue development and physiology. The serine-arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) is essential for hepatocyte function and survival. Although SRSF1 is mainly known for its many roles in mRNA metabolism, it is also crucial for maintaining genome stability. We show that acute liver damage in the setting of targeted SRSF1 deletion in mice is primarily mediated by the excessive formation of deleterious RNA–DNA hybrids (R-loops), which induce DNA damage. Combining hepatocyte-specific transcriptome, proteome, and RNA binding analyses, we demonstrate that widespread genotoxic stress following SRSF1 depletion results in global inhibition of mRNA transcription and protein synthesis, leading to impaired metabolism and trafficking of lipids. Accumulation of lipids in SRSF1-deficient hepatocytes is quickly followed by necroptotic cell death, inflammation, and fibrosis, resulting in NASH-like liver pathology. This pathogenesis is recapitulated in SRSF1-depleted human liver cancer cells illustrating a conserved and fundamental role for SRSF1 in preserving genome integrity and tissue homeostasis. This data set contains a proteomic comparison of hepatocytes from wild type vs. acute knockout of SRSF1. The acute knockout was generated by injecting 8-week-old SRSF1 fl/fl mice with a viral vector expressing Cre under the control of the liver-specific thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) promoter (AAV8-TBG-iCre). Controls were generated by injecting AAV8-TBG-GFP viral vector. The hepatocytes were isolated 2 weeks post injection.

Project description:The circadian rhythms influence the metabolic activity from molecular level to tissue, organ, and host level. Disruption of the circadian rhythms manifests to the host's health as metabolic syndromes, including obesity, diabetes, and elevated plasma glucose, eventually leading to cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the mechanism behind the relationship between circadian rhythms and metabolism. To start answering this question, we propose a semimechanistic mathematical model to study the effect of circadian disruption on hepatic gluconeogenesis in humans. Our model takes the light-dark cycle and feeding-fasting cycle as two environmental inputs that entrain the metabolic activity in the liver. The model was validated by comparison with data from mice and rat experimental studies. Formal sensitivity and uncertainty analyses were conducted to elaborate on the driving forces for hepatic gluconeogenesis. Furthermore, simulating the impact of Clock gene knockout suggests that modification to the local pathways tied most closely to the feeding-fasting rhythms may be the most efficient way to restore the disrupted glucose metabolism in liver.
Project description:In order to facilitate inter-tissue communication and exchange of proteins, lipoproteins, and metabolites with the circulation, hepatocytes have an intricate and efficient intracellular trafficking system regulated by small Rab GTPases. Rab30, a putative Golgi-localized Rab GTPase, is induced in the mouse liver by fasting and its expression is further amplified in liver-specific carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 knockout mice (Cpt2L-/-) that lack the ability to oxidize fatty acids in a Pparα-dependent manner. Live-cell super-resolution imaging and biochemical in vivo proximity labeling demonstrated that Rab30-marked vesicles are highly dynamic and interact with proteins throughout the secretory pathway. Rab30 whole-body, liver-specific, and Rab30;Cpt2 liver-specific double knockout (DKO) mice are viable and display intact Golgi ultrastructure. However, the loss of Rab30 in Rab30;Cpt2 DKO mice suppresses serum dyslipidemia observed in Cpt2L-/- single knockout mice. Corresponding with decreased serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, Rab30;Cpt2 DKO mice exhibit decreased circulating but not hepatic ApoA4 protein, indicative of a trafficking defect. Together, these data suggest a role for Rab30 in the selective sorting of lipoproteins to influence hepatocyte and circulating triglyceride levels particularly during times of excessive lipid burden.

Project description:HSL is a key enzyme in in the mobilization of fatty acids from the triglyceride stores of white adipose tissue. In addition, it is expressed in mice liver. In the present microarray study, changes in the transcript profile of murine liver samples due to global HSL knockout were investigated. Experiment Overall Design: Genetic modification to analyze the impact of a general knockout of the HSL gene on liver metabolism. Experiment Overall Design: HSL knockout (ko) mice versus wildtype (wt) mice. Mice fed a normal diet (ND) versus mice fed a high fat diet (FD) for 6 months. Equal amounts of liver samples from six mice were pooled and total RNA was extracted, except for HSL-null mice on FD were only 4 livers were pooled.
