Project description:This study identified hepatic progenitor cell (HPC) niche-associated signalling pathways relevant in different chronic liver diseases using a high-throughput sequencing approach. The HPC niche was isolated using laser microdissection from patient samples diagnosed with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), as models for hepatocellular or biliary regeneration. Differentially expressed genes in the HPC niche of PSC and HCV correlated to pathways involved in immune signalling, fibrogenesis and angiogenesis.
Project description:Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are heterogeneous biliary cancers with dismal prognosis. Their etiologies remain mostly unclear, although primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a well-known risk factor. There is an urgent need of accurate non-invasive biomarkers for early CCA diagnosis and to predict patient´s prognosis, which may improve their clinical management and outcome. Here, by high-throughput proteomic analysis of serum extracellular vesicles (EVs), we identified diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers specific for CCAs in patients with PSC, and others common to all CCA subtypes. Bulk RNA tissue transcriptomic data revealed that these biomarkers are predominantly expressed in hepatobiliary tissues, being expressed in different liver cell types. Furthermore, single-cell RNAseq (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed that the expression of these biomarkers was preferentially found in malignant cholangiocytes within CCA tumors. In summary, these results highlight the potential of serum EVs to reflect cancer presence, especially for difficult-to-diagnose malignancies, including CCA."
Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are heterogeneous chronic autoimmune diseases that may share underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we compared simultaneously analyzed blood transcriptomes from patients with PBC, PSC, and IBD.

Project description:Background: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an autoimmune, cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis surrounding interlobular bile ducts. The cellular composition and cell-cell-communications driving periductal fibrosis remain ill defined.
