Project description:Liver regeneration is an extraordinarily complex process involving a variety of factors; however, the role of chromatin protein in hepatocyte proliferation is largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the functional role of high-mobility group box 2 (HMGB2), a chromatin protein in liver regeneration using wild-type and HMGB2-knockout (KO) mice. Liver tissues were sampled after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx), and analyzed by immunohistochemistry using various markers of cell proliferation, including Ki-67, PCNA, cyclin D1, cyclin B1, EdU and pH3S10. In WT mice, hepatocyte proliferation was strongly correlated with the spatiotemporal expression of HMGB2; however, cell proliferation was significantly delayed in hepatocytes of HMGB2-KO mice. Quantitative PCR demonstrated that cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 mRNAs were significantly decreased in HMGB2-KO mice livers. Interestingly, hepatocyte size was significantly larger in HMGB2-KO mice at 36-72 h after PHx, and these results suggest that hepatocyte hypertrophy appeared in parallel with delayed cell proliferation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that cell proliferation was significantly decreased in HMGB2-KO cells. A significant delay in cell proliferation was also found in HMGB2-siRNA transfected cells. In summary, spatiotemporal expression of HMGB2 is important for regulation of hepatocyte proliferation and cell size during liver regeneration.

Liver tissues were sampled after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx), and analyzed by immunohistochemistry, western blotting and flow cytometry using various markers of cell proliferation. In WT mice, hepatocyte proliferation was strongly correlated with the spatiotemporal expression of HMGB2; however, cell proliferation was significantly delayed in hepatocytes of HMGB2-KO mice. Quantitative PCR demonstrated that cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 mRNAs were significantly decreased in HMGB2-KO mice livers.

Project description:Liver regeneration is an well orchestrated compensatory process that regulated by multiple factors. We recently reported the importance of chromatin protein, a high-mobility group box 2 (HMGB2) in mouse liver regeneration, however, it’s molecular mechanism is not yet understood. In this study, we aimed to study how HMGB2 regulates hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration. Wild-type (WT) and HMGB2-knockout (KO) mice were 70% partial hepatectomized (PHx), and liver tissues were analyzed by microarray, immunohistochemistry, qPCR and western blotting. In vivo experimental findings were confirmed by in vitro experiments using HMGB2 gene knockdown in combination with de novo lipogenesis model. In WT mouse, HMGB2-positive hepatocytes were co-localized with cell proliferation markers, whereas, hepatocyte proliferation was significantly decreased in HMGB2-KO mice. Oil red-O staining detected the transient accumulation of lipid droplets at 12-24 h in WT mouse livers, however, decreased amount of lipid droplets were found in HMGB2-KO mouse livers, and it was prolonged until 36 h. Microarray, immunohistochemistry and qPCR results were demonstrated that lipid metabolism related genes were significantly decreased in HMGB2-KO mouse livers. In vitro experiments demonstrated that decreased lipid droplets in HMGB2-knockdown cells correlated with decreased cell proliferation activity. HMGB2 is involved in the regulation of liver regeneration through transient accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes.

Project description:Achievement of specific tumor cell targeting remains a challenge for glioma gene therapy. We report here the identification and characterization of a 5’ sequence of human HMGB2 gene for transcriptional targeting to glioblastoma. We performed microarray analysis and found HMGB2 as one of the genes that had a low level of expression in normal human astrocytes, but was significantly up-regulated in glioblastoma cells. Real-time PCR quantification revealed increase in HMBG2 expression level in glioblastoma tissues and cells between 11 to 79 fold over that in normal human brain tissue. With progressive truncation of a 5’-upstream sequence of the HMGB2 gene, we identified a 500-bp fragment that displayed a high transcriptional activity in glioblastoma cells, but a low activity in normal brain cells. Using the sequence to drive the expression of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene in the context of a baculoviral vector, glioblastoma cells died in the presence of ganciclovir, whereas normal human astrocytes and neurons were not affected. We further confirmed that after intra-tumor injection, the baculoviral vector effectively suppressed the growth of human glioblastoma cells in a mouse xenograft model. Our results suggest that the 5’-upstream sequence of the HMGB2 gene can be used as an efficient, tumor-selective promoter in targeted vectors for glioblastoma gene therapy. U251 cells (n=3) genes level expression were compared to that of normal astrocytes (n=3) to find overexpressed genes in glioblastoma. Highly expressed genes were compared to those found in the litterature. This was selected to clone promoters of highly expressed genes in glioblastomas
