Blood-derived lysophospholipid sustains hepatic phospholipids and fat storage necessary for hepatoprotection in overnutrition

ABSTRACT: The liver has a high demand for phosphatidylcholine (PC) particularly in overnutrition where reduced phospholipid levels have been implicated in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Whether other pathways exist in addition to de novo PC synthesis that contribute to hepatic PC pools remains unknown. Here, we identified the lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) transporter Mfsd2a as critical for maintaining hepatic phospholipid pools. Hepatic Mfsd2a expression was induced in patients having NAFLD and in mice in response to dietary fat via glucocorticoid receptor action. Mfsd2a liver-specific deficiency in mice (L2aKO) led to a robust NASH-like phenotype within just two weeks of dietary fat challenge associated with reduced hepatic phospholipids containing linoleic acid. Reducing dietary choline intake in L2aKO mice exacerbated liver pathology and deficiency of liver phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Treating hepatocytes with LPC containing oleate and linoleate, two abundant blood-derived LPCs, specifically induced lipid droplet biogenesis and contributed to phospholipid pools, while LPC containing the omega-3 fatty acid DHA promoted lipid droplet formation and suppressed lipogenesis. This study revealed that PUFA containing LPCs drive both hepatic lipid droplet formation, suppress lipogenesis and sustain hepatic phospholipid pools--processes that are critical for protecting the liver from excess dietary fat.

p53 reactivation in liver tumors

Project description:We induced liver tumors by transforming liver progenitor cells (LPC) with retroviruses expressing oncogenic Ras coupled to tetracycline transactivator together with an inducible shRNA targeting p53. Transformed LPCs were orthotopical transplanted into recipient livers and after tumor onset mice were fed with either Doxycycline containing chow or normal chow. 8 days later tumors were harvested and RNA was extracted. RNA was extracted using Trizol. For microarray experiment, HrasV12 driven liver tumors harboring tet-off shp53 were treated with Doxycycline for 0 day (p53 OFF, as control) or 8 days (p53 ON). Samples were assessed by Affymetrix 430 2.0 mouse microarray.

Immune surveillance of acute myeloid leukemia is mediated by HLA-presented antigens on leukemia progenitor cells

Project description:Persistent therapy-resistant leukemia progenitor cells (LPC) are a main cause of disease relapse and recurrence in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Specific LPC-targeting therapies may thus improve treatment outcome of AML patients. We demonstrated that LPCs present human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted cancer antigens that induce T cell responses allowing for immune surveillance of AML. Using a mass spectrometry-based immunopeptidomics approach, we characterized the antigenic landscape of patient LPCs and identified AML/LPC-associated HLA-presented antigens including mutation-derived and cryptic neoepitopes as prime targets for development of T cell-based immunotherapeutic approaches. We observed frequent spontaneous memory T cells targeting these AML/LPC-associated antigens in AML patients and showed that antigen-specific T cell recognition and HLA class II immunopeptidome diversity impacts clinical outcome. Our results pave the way for implementation of AML/LPC-associated antigens for T cell-based immunotherapeutic approaches to specifically target and eliminate residual LPCs in AML patients.

Study of vascular endothelial-specific and inducible vascular endothelial-specific deletion of Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (Mfsd2a) in mice.

Project description:Brain development requires a massive increase in brain lipogenesis and accretion of the essential omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Brain acquisition of DHA is primarily mediated by the transporter Major Facilitator Superfamily Domain containing 2a (Mfsd2a) expressed in the endothelium of the blood-brain barrier. Mfsd2a transports DHA and other polyunsaturated fatty acids esterified to lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC-DHA). However, the function of Mfsd2a and DHA in brain development is incompletely understood. Using vascular endothelial-specific (2aECKO) and inducible vascular endothelial-specific (2aiECKO) deletion of Mfsd2a in mice, we found Mfsd2a to be uniquely required postnatally at the blood-brain barrier for normal brain growth and DHA accretion, with DHA deficiency preceding the onset of microcephaly. Gene expression profiling analysis of these DHA deficient brains indicated that Srebp-1 and Srebp-2 pathways were highly elevated. Affymetrix gene arrays were used to determine differences in gene expression between 2aECKO or 2aiECKO relative to their respective controls in the developing brain.

Lysophosphatidylcholines activate PPARδ and protect human skeletal muscle cells from lipotoxicity

Project description:Metabolomics studies of human plasma demonstrate a correlation of lower plasma lysophosphatidylcholines (LPC) concentrations with insulin resistance, obesity, and inflammation. This relationship is not unraveled on a molecular level. Here we investigated the effects of the abundant LPC(16:0) and LPC(18:1) on human skeletal muscle cells differentiated to myotubes. Transcriptome analysis of human myotubes treated with 10 µM LPC for 24 h revealed enrichment of up-regulated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) target transcripts, including ANGPTL4, PDK4, PLIN2, and CPT1A. The increase in both PDK4 and ANGPTL4 RNA expression was abolished in the presence of either PPARδ antagonist GSK0660 or GSK3787. The induction of PDK4 by LPCs was blocked with siRNA against PPARD. The activation of PPARδ transcriptional activity by LPC was shown as PPARδ-dependent luciferase reporter gene expression and enhanced DNA binding of the PPARδ/RXR dimer. On a functional level, further results show that the LPC-mediated activation of PPARδ can reduce fatty acid-induced inflammation and ER stress in human skeletal muscle cells. The protective effect of LPC was prevented in the presence of the PPARδ antagonist GSK0660. Taking together, LPCs can activate PPARδ, which is consistent with the association of high plasma LPC levels and PPARδ-dependent anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory effects.

ATP7B Gene Therapy of Autologous Reprogrammed Hepatocytes Alleviates Copper Accumulation in a Murine Model of Wilson’s Disease

Project description:Purpose：Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare hereditary disorder due to ATP7B gene mutation, causing pathologic copper storage mainly in the liver and neurological systems. Hepatocyte transplantation showed therapeutic potential, however, this strategy is often hindered by a shortage of quality donor cells and by allogeneic immune rejection. Here we evaluate the function and efficacy of autologous reprogrammed, ATP7B gene-restored hepatocytes using a murine model of WD Mathods and Results: By reprogramming hepatocytes from ATP7B-/- mice with small molecules, sufficient liver progenitor cells (LPCs) are harvested. After lentivirus-mediated miniATP7B gene transfection and re-differentiation, functional LPC-ATP7B-Heps are developed. RNA-seq data show that compared with LPC-GFP-Heps with enrichment of genes mainly in pathways of oxidative stress and cell apoptosis, in LPC-ATP7B-Heps under high copper stress pathways for copper ion binding and cell proliferation are enriched. LPC-ATP7B-Heps transplantation into ATP7B-/- mice alleviates deposition of excess liver copper with its associated inflammation and fibrosis, comparable to those observed using normal primary hepatocytes at four months after transplantation. Conclusion: We establish the autologous reprogrammed, ATP7B gene restored LPC-ATP7B-Heps and further transplantation demonstrate alleviated copper accumulation in WD mice.

C57BL/6N Mice on High Fat Diet Display Reduced Intestinal and Hepatic Cholesterol Levels despite a Plasma Hypercholesterolemia

Project description:Background Small intestine and liver greatly contribute to whole body lipid, cholesterol and phospholipid metabolism but to which extent cholesterol and phospholipid handling in these tissues is affected by high fat Western-style obesogenic diets remains to be defined. We therefore quantified cholesterol and phospholipid concentrations in intestine and liver and determined fecal neutral sterol and bile acid excretion in C57Bl/6N mice fed for 12 weeks either a cholesterol-free high carbohydrate control diet or a high fat diet containing 0.03 % (w/w) cholesterol. To identify underlying mechanisms of dietary adaptation in intestine and liver, changes in gene expression were assessed by microarray and qPCR profiling, respectively. Results Animals on high fat diet showed increased plasma cholesterol levels, associated with the higher dietary cholesterol supply, yet, significantly reduced cholesterol levels were found in intestine and liver. Transcript profiling revealed evidence that expression of numerous genes involved in cholesterol synthesis and uptake via LDL, but also in phospholipid metabolism, underwent compensatory regulations in both tissues. Alterations in glycerophospholipid metabolism were confirmed at the metabolite level by phospolipid profiling via mass spectrometry. Conclusions Our findings suggest that intestine and liver react to a high dietary fat intake by an activation of de novo cholesterol synthesis and other cholesterol-saving mechanisms, as well as with major changes in phospholipid metabolism, to accommodate to the fat load. The proximal part of the intestine of mice fed either a control or a high fat diet were analyzed. 5 replicates each.

Phenotype and function of ex vivo expanded liver progenitor-like cells through liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal reversion

Project description:The cellular source for hepatocyte transplantation and liver regeneration in chronically hepatic diseases is a fundamental topic in liver biology. A successful therapeutic approach based on a benificial stem/progenitor cells would involve replacing damaged cells or restoring homeostasis to the areas that underlie the fibrotic response. This study aims to isolate and culture hepatocyte and non-parenchymal cells derived liver progenitor-like cells (HepLPCs and NPC-LPCs) to identify a beneficial cell sources for cell-based therapy against chronic liver injury. Two types of lineage tracing models including tdTomato mice with AAV8-TBG-Cre and AlbCreERT/R26GFP were purified for hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells respectively, and cultured for transition to progenitor-like cells (LPCs) in TEM. The differences between them were clarified by RNA sequencing, suggesting that HepLPCs retaining basal levels of hepatic function and transcription factors (TFs), including Foxa3. Organoids and 3D hepatic spheroids culturing systems were used for further analysis of bile duct and hepatic functioning diversity. When transplanting in mice with CCL4 treatment, HepLPCs displayed the characteristics of TFs regulatory reactivation and physiological balance restoration, resulting in a significant improvement in liver fibrosis compared with NPC-LPCs, which are crucial for liver regeneration in the treatment of patients with a broad range of hepatic fibrosis.
