Genome-wide open chromatin analysis of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in the pathogenesis of NASH

ABSTRACT: We isolated liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) from mice fed control chow (Chow) or the nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-inducing high fat, fructose and cholesterol (FFC) diet, and subjected the cells to Omni-ATAC-seq. Out of the top 500 differentially abundant open chromatin regions between the two groups, 498 were more robust in FFC-fed mice compared with Chow-fed mice, suggesting a genome-wide active epigenetic regulation in LSEC during NASH development. Furthermore, in combination with RNA-seq, we demonstrated a robust transcriptional upregulation of the adhesion molecule VCAM-1 in LSEC in NASH pathogenesis.
