Project description:Optimal treatment for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has not yet been established, particularly for individuals without diabetes. We examined the effects of metformin, commonly used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, on liver pathology in a non-diabetic NASH mouse model. Eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed a methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) + high fat (HF) diet with or without 0.1% metformin for 8 weeks.

Project description:Recent studies have revealed the pivotal role of gut microbiota in the precession of liver diseases including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Many natural herbs, such as Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP), have been extensively used applied in the treatment prevention of NASH, while the bioactive components and underlying mechanism remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the polysaccharides of GP (GPP) has the protective effect on of NASH and to explore the potential mechanism underlying these effects. To investigate the function high dose of GPP(HGPP) in the regulation of hepatic gene expression, C57BL/6 male mice were fed with methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 4 weeks to induce NASH, and administered daily oral gavage of the sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) for model group, HGPP for experimental group, compared with normal control methionine-choline-sufficient (MCS) group.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and Kupffer cells (KCs) have important roles in liver homeostasis and host defense. Sharing the same microenvironment in the liver sinusoid, they form an effective scavenger cell system for removal of potentially harmful blood-borne substances. Unlike most other endothelia, LSECs are highly efficient in endocytosis of nanoparticles, including virus. Though controversial, LSECs have been reported to act as antigen presenting cells, thus contributing importantly to induction of immune tolerance in liver. There are also controversies about LSEC and KC specific markers, which may be due to overlapping cell functions, species differences, and/or problems with cell purification. We therefore used label-free proteomics to characterize and quantitatively compare proteome of freshly isolated, highly pure rat LSECs (SE-1/CD32b positive) and KCs (CD11b/c positive.We found that most immune genes expressed in KCs were also expressed in LSECs, albeit at a lower density, and they also have overlap in cell surface marker expression. Both cell types express high levels of scavenger receptors and immune lectins.

Project description:There is an evident, unmet need to develop a commercially available in vitro system that can model inflammatory states of the liver and predict immune-mediated hepatotoxicity of drugs and xenobiotics taken under inflamed conditions. Hepatocyte-Kupffer cell co-cultures can model inflammation-mediated hepatotoxicity; however, Kupffer cell (KC) source remains an important bottleneck for the development of such models. Primary human Kupffer cells (PHKCs) are costly, limited in availability and exhibit donor variability. An alternative cell source for KCs has not been reported. Important paradigm shift from the classical dogma of adult blood-circulating monocyte-derived macrophages to intrahepatic precursor/fetal monocyte-derived macrophages has shed new light into the origin of KCs in vivo. Based on these recent findings, we report here, a novel method to generate human KCs in vitro from stem cells (hPSC-KCs) via fetal monocytes. hPSC-KCs expressed macrophage markers, CD11, CD14, CD68, CD163 and CD32 at gene and protein level and exhibited functional properties such as phagocytosis and Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor-4alpha production upon activation. Importantly, molecular signature, liver-macrophage specific CLEC-4F expression and cytokines production levels of hPSC-KCs were similar to PHKCs but different from non-liver macrophages. We used an inflammatory liver co-culture model to demonstrate that activated hPSC-KCs, but not non-liver macrophages, were able to recapitulate effects of PHKCs when stimulated with paradigm hepatotoxicants. hPSC-KCs developed in this study offer a renewable human cell source for liver-specific macrophages which can be used to develop in vitro systems for modelling the inflammatory state of the liver. Gene expression profiles of 9 samples were determined using Human Gene 2.0 ST Array. These 9 samples included three replicates each of PHKCs (primary human Kupffer cells), human pluripotent stem cell-dervied Kupffer cells (hPSC-KCs) and non-liver macrophages (NL-Mφ).

Project description:Global gene expression patterns of 2 human steatosis and 9 human non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) together with their respective control patterns were analyzed to define the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression molecular characteristics and to define NASH early markers from steatosis. Human liver samples of steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:The etiology of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been complicated. An increasing body of literature has indicated that hepatic oxidative stress exerts a causal role in driving NASH. Nevertheless, how the anti-oxidant defense system guards against oxidative stress and NASH remains unclear. In this study, we sought to investigate how the peroxidase peroxiredoxin 1 protects against NASH. To this end, we fed WT and hepatic PRDX1 knockout (Alb-Cre;Prdx1fl/fl) a methionine and choline deficient diet (MCD) for 5 weeks and collected liver samples for RNA sequencing analysis. As revealed by gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, there was an enrichment of genes involved in JAK-STAT signaling. Further, we observed that the expression of many genes involved in JAK-STAT signaling such as Pdgfb and Pdgfra was significantly increased in Alb-Cre;Prdx1fl/fl mice. Collectively, these results suggest that increased JAK-STAT signaling accounts for the deteriorated NASH phenotypes in Alb-Cre;Prdx1fl/fl mice.

Project description:Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most significant cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, with limited therapeutic options. In this experiment, a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high fat diet (CDAHFD) were used to construct a mouse NASH model. After 16 weeks of CDAHFD diets, liver samples were collected. We want to further confirm that the elevated EFHD2 is specifically expressed in infiltrated macrophages/monocytes in NASH.

Project description:The 18-kDa translocator protein TSPO is a conserved ubiquitous high affinity cholesterol binding protein localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It plays a critical role in the segregation and transport of cholesterol from the outer to the inner mitochondrial membrane in steroidogenic cells. Imaging studies in humans, using specific TSPO ligands, showed that TSPO is highly expressed and accurately mirrors the histological picture of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the functions of TSPO in simple steatosis (SS) and NASH are unknown. In the present study, we examined the TSPO functions with in vivo NAFLD model. To induce NASH in vivo, we fed the WT and TSPO KO rat with MCD (methionine-choline deficient) diet. Loss of TSPO ameliorated the liver fibrosis through down regulation of bile acid synthesis by reduction of CYP7A1 and CYP27A1 and increase of farnesoid X receptor (FXR).

Project description:Kupffer cells (KCs) are tissue-resident macrophages which colonize the developing liver early during embryogenesis1. Throughout development and adulthood, KCs have distinct core functions that are essential for liver and organismal homeostasis, such as supporting fetal erythropoiesis as well as postnatal erythrocyte recycling and liver metabolism2. KCs acquire their tissue-specific transcriptional signature immediately after colonizing the liver, mature together with the tissue, and adapt to the tissue’s function1,3,4. However, whether perturbation of macrophage core functions during development may contribute to or cause disease at postnatal stages is poorly understood. Here, we utilize a maternal obesity model to disturb KC functions during gestation. We show that offspring born to obese mothers develop fatty liver disease that is accompanied by a local pro-inflammatory response, a phenotype that is augmented if the offspring is kept on control diet after birth. Further, transcriptional analyses reveal that KCs undergo developmental programming through the maternal high-fat diet, which lasts until adulthood. The offspring’s KC developmental programming is irreversible despite the switch to control diet and leads to increased lipid uptake in hepatocytes mediated via paracrine factors stemming from KCs. The transcriptional programming of KCs and the fatty liver disease phenotype are rescued by genetic depletion of hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (Hif1a) in macrophages during gestation. These results demonstrate that macrophages rely on an undisturbed development to fulfil their core functions and support organ homeostasis during adulthood, and establish developmental programming of KCs as a therapeutic strategy for metabolic disorders, such as fatty liver disease.
