Project description:To evaluate the global transcriptomic changes induced by Neuronal Regeneration Related Protein (NREP) downregulation, we employed RNA-sequencing in human primary hepatocytes lacking NREP.

Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to compared the transcriptome of hepatocyte-like cells (HLCs) generated in vitro and adult primary human hepatocytes (PHHs). HLCs were differentiated from either hESCs or hIPSCs using previously established protocols (Hannah et al 2013; Segeritz et al 2018). Undifferentiated hIPSCs were used as control to confirm differentiation status. PHHs were commercially sourced as well as freshly isolated from donors.
Project description:The mammalian liver possesses a remarkable regenerative ability. 1) The 'oval cell' response emanates from the biliary tree when all hepatocytes are affected by chronic liver disease. 2) A massive, proliferative response of mature hepatocytes occurs upon acute liver damage such as partial hepatectomy (PHx). We establish a long-term 3D organoid culture system from mouse and human fetal/pediatric/adult hepatocytes that retain key morphological and functional features of hepatocytes fate. We report the mRNA and single cell sequencing of Hep-Orgs from different donors in different passages. We compared Hep-Orgs with primary hepatocytes, proliferative hepatocytes or Chol-Orgs derived from Epcam+ biliary cells. By analyzing, we determine similar gene expression profile of Hep-Orgs with primary hepatocytes and make genes lists distinguished with undamaged hepatocytes as well. We find the Hep-Orgs resemble proliferative damage-response of hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy while Chol-Orgs express high cholangiocytes markers. The sequencing data constitutes a valuable resource to understand liver organoids especially Hep-Orgs.
Project description:The biological effects of the pesticide and complex I inhibitor tebufenpyrad (TEBU) on liver cells were investigated by proteomic approaches. Cellular contents and culture media were analyzed in dose-response experiments on human primary hepatocytes (PHHs).
