Project description:Humanized Liver Chimeric Mice (HLCM)-derived human hepatocytes (HLCM-HH) were maintained in the absence (non-treatment; NT) or presence of either 2% DMSO or DMSO2 (140mM)-containing medium for 7 days. HepG2 cells and Huh7 cells were cultured with 2% DMSO containing medium for 7 days. Then total cellular RNA was extracted for the subsequent poly-A based mRNA sequencing analysis.

Project description:CDK5RAP3, an UFL1 adaptor for UFMylation, is crucial for liver development in mouse. However, the function of CDK5RAP3 in human hepatocyte differentiation remains unclear. The stepwise generation of hepatocyte-like cells derived from human embryonic cells simulates human hepatocyte differentiation in vitro. Here, the human embryonic cells were conducted to differentiate into hepatocytes and ScRNA-Seq analysis was performed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of CDK5RAP3 in human liver development. We found CDK5RAP3 was important for human hepatocytes differentiation. The CDK5RAP3 deficiency upregulated ER stress in hepatic-endoderm stage, and impaired ribosome homeostasis in mature hepatocytes.

Project description:Induction of hepatocyte senescence is known to inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Until now, it has not been clear how the degree of liver injury dictates hepatocyte senescence and carcinogenesis. In this study, we investigated whether the severity of injury determines cell fate decisions between hepatocyte senescence and carcinogenesis. After testing of different degrees of liver injury, we found that hepatocyte senescence is strongly induced in the setting of severe acute liver injury. Longer-term, moderate liver injury did not result into hepatocyte senescence, but instead led to a significant incidence of HCC. In addition, carcinogenesis was significantly reduced by the induction of severe acute injury after chronic moderate liver injury. We conclude that severe acute liver injury leads to hepatocyte senescence along with a low incidence of HCC, whereas chronic moderate injury allows hepatocytes to proliferate rather than to enter into senescence, and correlates with a high incidence of HCC. This study improves our understanding in hepatocyte cell fate decisions and suggests a potential clinical strategy to induce senescence to treat HCC.

Project description:The niche controls stem cell self-renewal and progenitor differentiation for maintaining adult tissue homeostasis in various organisms. However, it remains unclear if the niche is compartmentalized to control stem cell self-renewal and stepwise progeny differentiation. In the Drosophila ovary, inner germarial sheath (IGS) cells form a niche for controlling germline stem cell (GSC) progeny differentiation. In this study, we have identified four IGS subpopulations, which form linearly arranged niche compartments for controlling GSC maintenance and multi-step progeny differentiation. Single-cell analysis of the adult ovary has identified four IGS subpopulations (IGS1-4), which identities and cellular locations have been further confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization. IGS1 and IGS2 physically interact with GSCs and mitotic cysts to control GSC maintenance and cyst formation, respectively, whereas IGS3 and IGS4 physically interact with 16-cell cysts to regulate meiosis and oocyte development. Finally, one follicle cell progenitor population has also been transcriptionally defined for facilitating future studies on follicle stem cell regulation. Therefore, this study has structurally revealed that the niche is organized into multiple compartments for orchestrating stepwise adult stem cell development, and has also provided useful resources and tools for further functional characterization of the niche in the future.

Project description:It has been a long-standing challenge to maintain the functions of hepatocytes in vitro. In the present study, we found that mechanical tension-induced yes-associated protein (Yap) activation triggered hepatocyte dedifferentiation. Alleviation of mechanical tension by confinement of cell spreading was sufficient to inhibit hepatocyte dedifferentiation. Based on this finding, we identified a small molecular cocktail LBDXL through reiterative chemical screening that could maintain hepatocyte functions over the long term and in vivo repopulation capacity by targeting actin polymerization and actomyosin contraction.

Project description:Cell function depends on the mechanical properties of the microenvironment. Cells probe these features by applying and transmitting forces to their surroundings, via their actomyosin cytoskeleton and adhesion complexes, and then transducing them into biochemical signals. Among these, the transcriptional coactivators YAP/TAZ recently emerged as key factors mediating some biological responses to actomyosin contractility in vitro. However, whether mechanical cues regulate YAP/TAZ activity in vivo, and whether this is relevant for adult tissue homeostasis, remains poorly understood. Here we show that the F-actin capping protein CAPZ is a critical regulator of actomyosin contractility, as its inactivation alters stress fiber and focal adhesion dynamics, leading to enhanced myosin activity and increased cellular traction forces. In vitro, this rescues YAP from inhibition by a small geometry; in vivo, inactivation of Capzb in the mouse liver induces YAP activation and hepatocyte proliferation, leading to striking organ overgrowth. Moreover, Capzb is essential for the maintenance of the differentiated hepatocyte state, and for the metabolic zonation of hepatocytes. In keeping with changes in tissue mechanics and activation of YAP, inhibition of ROCK or deletion of Yap1 reverse the phenotypes emerging in Capzb-null livers. These results indicate a previously unrecognized role for CAPZ in tuning the sensitivity of cells and tissues to mechanical signals, and a physiological function for F-actin dynamics in regulating organ growth and tissue homeostasis.
