Gene expression in the chronic ethanol-treated rat liver during liver regeneraiton

ABSTRACT: In this study, we analyzed the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on liver repair and regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHx). Rats were fed a liquid diet containing 36% of total calories derived from ethanol for 5 weeks; corresponding pair-fed calorie-matched controls were fed diets in which ethanol calories were replaced either by carbohydrate or by fat. After 5 weeks, rats were subjected to 70% PHx and liver samples were collected at 1, 6 and 24h after the surgery. The excised liver samples at t=0 served as within-animal controls. We used Affymetrix Rat Gene 1.0 ST arrays to obtain global gene expression data from each liver sample (n=4 replicate rats, 72 arrays total). Gene expression was profiled in the chronic ethanol-fed (EtOH) and carbohydrate control pair-fed (CHO) liver prior to (control) and 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after partial hepatectomy (PHx).

Liver regeneration is an important repair response to liver injury. Chronic ethanol consumption inhibits and delays liver regeneration in experimental animals. We studied the effects of chronic ethanol treatment on messenger RNA (mRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles during the first 24 h after two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx) and found an increase in hepatic miR-21 expression in both ethanol-fed and pair-fed control rats after PHx. We demonstrate that the increase of miR-21 express ...[more]

Project description:Background & Aims. Resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumors by partial hepatectomy (PHx) is associated with promoting hepatocarcinogenesis. We have previously reported that PHx promotes hepatocarcinogenesis in the Mdr2-knockout (Mdr2-KO) mouse, a model for inflammation-mediated HCC. Now, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumor-promoting effect of PHx in these mice. Methods. Using microarrays-based techniques, we compared genomic and transcriptomic profiles of HCC tumors developing in the Mdr2-KO mice either spontaneously or following PHx. Results. PHx accelerated HCC development in these mice by four months. PHx-induced tumors had only amplifications affecting multiple chromosomes and locating mainly near the acrocentric centromeres of murine chromosomes. Four different chromosomal regions were amplified each in at least three tumors. All tumors of untreated mice had chromosomal aberrations, including both deletions and amplifications. Comparison of gene expression profiles revealed a significantly enriched expression of oncogenes, chromosomal instability markers and E2F1 targets in the post-PHx compared to spontaneous tumors. Both tumor groups shared the same frequent amplification at chromosome 18. Here, we demonstrated that one of the regulatory genes encoded by this amplified region, Crem, was over-expressed in the nuclei of murine and human HCC cells in vivo, and that it stimulated proliferation of human HCC cells in vitro. Conclusions: PHx of a chronically inflamed liver directed tumor development to a discrete pathway characterized by amplification of specific chromosomal regions and expression of specific tumor-promoting genes. Crem is a new candidate HCC oncogene frequently amplified in this model and frequently over-expressed in human HCC. To explore the mechanisms of the accelerated HCC development by PHx, we compared liver tumors and their matched non-tumor liver tissues between 9-month-old hepatectomized and 13-14-month-old untreated Mdr2-KO mice.
