Project description:The human liver contains multiple cell types whose epigenetic patterns are undetermined. We examined the promoter methylome of purified and uncultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), hepatocytes (HEPs) and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) and array hybridization. Uncultured HSCs, LSECs and Heps show ~7000-8000 methylated promoters, with 60-70% similarity between all cell types. GO analysis for commonly methylated genes reveals involvement in germ cell development, segregating germ-line from somatic lineage methylation. HSCs, LSECs and HEPs also contain ~500-1000 uniquely methylated promoters; these are implicated in signaling and biosynthetic processes (HSCs), lipid transport and metabolism (LSECs), and chromatin assembly (HEPs). The promoter methylome of culture-activated HSCs deviates from that of their uncultured (quiescent) counterparts. HSC culture-induced activation also enhances methylation differences between individual donors; however this does not necessarily relate to changes in gene expression. HSc activation results in a net gain of promoter DNA methylation, despite the demethylation and de novo methylation of thousands of promoters. Our data provide to our knowledge the first genome-wide maps of promoter DNA methylation in human purified and uncultured liver cell types. Although methylation profiles are largely similar between HSCs, LSECs and hepatocytes, the detection of cell type-specific methylation patterns suggests a differential epigenetic programming of these cell types in the liver. Determine the promoter DNA methylation pattern of 3 uncultured, reshly isolated, human healthy liver cell types (hepatocytes (HEPs), liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and haptic stellate cells (HSCs), and of HSCs after a 24-h culture-induced activation.

Project description:The molecular determinants of a healthy human liver cell phenotype remain largely uncharacterized. In addition, the gene expression changes associated with activation of primary human hepatic stellate cells, a key event during fibrogenesis, remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide the transriptomic profile underpinning the healthy phenotype of human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as activated HSCs (aHSCs) We assess the transcriptome for purified, non-cultured human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as culture-activated HSCs (aHSCs).

Project description:Gene expression of mouse hepatic stellate cells was characterized under the following conditions: Quiescent (isolated from normal mouse liver) and reverted (isolated from mouse liver treated with 4 injections of carbontetrachloride followed by 45 day rest period) Affymetrix Mouse 1.0ST gene expression measurements were used to characterize the transcriptomic basis in quiescent hepatic stellate cells, isolated from normal liver, and reverted hepatic stellate cells, isolated from liver treated with 4 injections of CCl4 followed by a 45 day rest period. Gene expression of mouse hepatic stellate cells was characterized under the following conditions: A. Quiescent control hepatic stellate cells (n=4). B. Reverted hepatic stellate cells (n=4).

Project description:Background & Aims: Rapid induction of beta-PDGF receptor (beta-PDGFR) is a core feature of hepatic stellate cell activation, the hallmark of liver fibrogenesis. However, biological consequences of the induction are not well characterized. We aimed to determine the involvement of beta-PDGFR-mediated molecular pathway activation on hepatic stellate cells in liver injury, fibrogenesis, and carcinogenesis in vivo. Methods: Loss and constitutive activation of beta-PDGFR were assessed in mouse models with either a stellate cell-specific beta-PDGFR knockout or the expression of an autoactivating mutation respectively. Liver injury and fibrosis were induced in two mechanistically distinct models: carbontetrachloride (CCl4) treatment and ligation of the common bile duct. Hepatocarcinogenesis with underlying liver injury/fibrosis was assessed by a single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) followed by repeated injections of CCl4. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed isolated stellate cells from these models to determine deregulated pathways. Results: Depletion of beta-PDGFR in hepatic stellate cells led to decreased histological liver injury, serum transaminases, collagen alpha 1(I) and alpha smooth muscle actin expression, and collagen deposition. Stellate cell proliferation was significantly reduced after acute hepatic injury in vivo. In contrast, autoactivation of beta-PDGFR in stellate cells accelerated liver fibrosis, most prominently after 6 weeks of CCl4 induced injury. There was no difference in development of DEN-induced pre-neoplastic loci according to the status of beta-PDGFR. Conclusions: Depletion of beta-PDGFR in hepatic stellate cells attenuated the development of liver injury, fibrosis, and stellate cell proliferation in multiple animal models, whereas the constitutive activation of beta-PDGFR enhanced fibrosis. However, manipulation of beta-PDGFR alone did not reduce development of dysplastic nodules. These findings indicate that titration of receptor beta-PDGFR expression on stellate cells parallels fibrosis and injury, but may not impact the development of hepatic neoplasia alone. Hepatic stellate cells were isolated from liver of beta-PDGFR-wild-type or knockout mice, and treated with beta-PDGF ligand or vehicle control.

Project description:Gene expression was determined in primary rat hepatic stellate cells during the in vitro activation process in freshly isolated (4h), quiescent (1d), early activated (3d) and fully activated (7d) hepatic stellate cells. The cells were isolated from the liver using density centrifugation and cultured on plastic in DMEM containing serum for the indicated time. RNA was isolated using the Qiagen Rneasy Mini Kit. The Affymetrix Gene Chip Rat Gene 2.0 ST was used for gene expression analysis performed by the genomic core facility of the EMBL (Heidelberg, Germany). All experiments were performed three times with independent animals.
