Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) constitute discontinuous, permeable microvessels, with a characteristic program of gene expression that differs significantly from continuous microvascular endothelial cells e.g. in the lung. Gata4 is described as master regulator of LSEC specification during liver development. Here, we sought to analyze the role of endothelial Gata4 in the adult liver. We used microarrays to analyse the program of gene expression in murine liver endothelial cells with Gata4 deficiency.
Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) constitute discontinuous, permeable microvessels, with a characteristic programme of gene expression that differs significantly from continuous microvascular endothelial cells e.g. in the lung. Notch signalling plays a crucial role in a variety of processes in endothelial cells such as vascular morphogenesis, and vascular differentiation. We used microarrays to analyse the programme of gene expression in murine liver endothelial cells with enhanced Notch signalling.
Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) constitute discontinuous, permeable microvessels, with a characteristic program of gene expression that differs significantly from continuous microvascular endothelial cells e.g. in the lung. LSEC play a pivotal role in liver fibrogenesis in the CDAA dietary model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We used microarrays to analyse the program of gene expression in murine liver endothelial cells after 10 weeks of CDAA diet.
Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) are unique endothelial cell typelining the sinusoids of the liver and we have shown that these cells respond in a unique matter when exposed to saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids (FFA) and bile acids. We used microarray to analyze the transcriptional differences between the LSEC exposed to free fatty acids and bile acid receptor agonists to further shed light on their role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The Murine Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cell Line (TSEC) was treated with palmitic and oleic acid or the bile acid receptor agonist INT-767 for 8 hours. Total RNA was then harvested to determine transcriptional differences.

Project description:To identify leukocyte adhesion receptors which differentially regulate recruitment in human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells compared to a protoptypic venular endothelium Gene expression was measured in four groups Group 1: cultured human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC) Group 2: cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) Group3: Interferon gamma and tumour necrosisfactor alpha treated HSEC and Group 4: Interferon gamma and tumour necrosisfactor alpha treated HUVEC. Two replicates were used for each group.
Project description:Two of the most highly abundant transcripts in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are Stab1 and Stab2, we investigated downstream effects on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells by disrupting their expression. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells deficient for Scavenger-Receptor type H compared to Wildtype.
Project description:Aging-associated transcriptome changes in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. RNA was prepared from liver sinusoidal endothelial cells of the male 8 weeks and 24 months old C57BL/6J mice.RNA samples were then subjected to RNA-sequencing and gene expression profiling analysis.
