Project description:Genome-wide expression profiling has been performed in malignant HepG2 cells and compared to the expression in normal human hepatocytes. 56 ucRNAs, representing 11% of all ucRNAs analyzed, were aberrantly and significantly (p<0.05) expressed in malignant HepG2 cells compared to non-malignant human hepatocytes. RNA was extracted from three separate biological samples for each analysis using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Total RNA (5 M-NM-<g) was reverse transcribed using biotin end-labeled random oligonucleotide primers and cDNA was hybridized to a custom microarray (OSU-CCC 4.0), which includes sense and antisense probes to all 481 human ultraconserved reported by Bejerano et al, each spotted in duplicate. Biotin-containing transcripts were detected using streptavidinM-bM-^@M-^SAlexa647 conjugate, scanned and analyzed using an Axon 4000B scanner and the GenePix 6.0 software (Axon Instruments, Downingtown, PA). The mean fluorescence intensity of replicate spots were subtracted from background and normalized using the global median method. We selected ucRNAs measured as present in all the three replicates. Differentially expressed ucRNAs were identified using the Class Comparison Analysis of BRB tools version 3.6.0 (http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html). The criterion for inclusion of a gene in the gene list was a p-value < 0.05.

Project description:MicroRNAs is a rapidly expanding area expected to change the way in which diseases will be diagnosed, treated and monitored in the future. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows a rising incidence with high mortality but lack of effective targeted therapies. We identified the aberrantly expressed miRNAs involved in HCC through the comparison of miRNA expression profiling in cancerous hepatocytes with that in normal primary human hepatocytes and found 37 dysregulated miRNAs in HCC. These aberrantly expressed miRNAs may provide insights into pathogenesis of HCC and thus may be used for diagnosis and therapy. Over the past few years, though several studies have uncovered aberrant miRNA expression profiles in HCC compared with matched nonmalignant tissues, the overlap of deregulated miRNAs from different platforms is limited. To solve this problem, we recommend a method that using primary cancer cells or cancer cell lines and nonmalignant primary cells to identify the specific aberrantly miRNA expression profiles in HCC and even in other types of cancer. Here, we identified the aberrantly expressed miRNAs involved in hepatoma through the comparison of miRNA expression profiling in cancerous hepatocytes with that in normal primary human hepatocytes and 37 dysregulated miRNAs were screened out by 2-fold change with a significant difference (P<0.05). Clustering analysis based on 13 miRNAs whose fold changes were over 15-fold change exhibited significantly differential expression pattern between the cancerous and normal hepatocytes.

Project description:Primary human hepatocytes (PHH) are a main instrument in drug metabolism research and in the prediction of drug-induced phase I/II enzyme induction in humans. The HepG2 liver-derived cell line is commonly used as a surrogate for human hepatocytes, but their use in ADME and toxicity studies can be limited because of lowered basal levels of metabolizing enzymes. Despite their widespread use, the transcriptome of HepG2 cells compared to PHH is not well characterized. In this study, microarray analysis was conducted to ascertain the differences and similarities in mRNA expression between HepG2 cells and human hepatocytes before and after exposure to a panel of fluoroquinolone compounds. Comparison of the naïve HepG2 cell and PHH transcriptomes revealed a substantial number of basal gene expression differences. When HepG2 cells were dosed with a series of fluoroquinolones, trovafloxacin, which has been associated with human idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity, induced substantially more gene expression changes than the other quinolones, similar to previous observations with PHH. While TVX-treatment resulted in many gene expression differences between HepG2 cells and PHH, there were also a number of TVX-induced commonalities, including genes involved in RNA processing and mitochondrial function. Taken together, these results provide insight for interpretation of results from drug metabolism and toxicity studies conducted with HepG2 cells in lieu of PHH, and could provide further insight into the mechanistic evaluation of TVX-induced hepatotoxicity. Experiment Overall Design: HepG2 cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD). The cells were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad,CA) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum under a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere using T-162 plastic culture flasks. The cells were split when they reached approximately 70-85% confluence after washing with sterile phosphate buffered saline and detachment of the cells with trypsin (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The HepG2 cells were cultured in 6-well plastic plates upon exposure to quinolone compounds. Primary human hepatocytes, obtained from In Vitro Technologies (IVT, Baltimore, MD) in 6-well type I collagen coated plates, were cultured with 2 mL of Hepatocyte Incubation Media (IVT) at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours after receipt. Experiment Overall Design: For the genomic experiments, quinolone compounds, dissolved in 0.1 N KOH (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), were added to the wells with fresh media at levels of 100 µM (HepG2) or 400 µM (primary human hepatocytes) for 24 hours using at least two technical replicates. Trovafloxacin was dosed using two separate preparations of HepG2 cells and two separate donors of human hepatocytes. Vehicle control cells were dosed with an equivalent volume of 0.1N KOH as the experimental samples. For intracellular comparison (HepG2 cells vs PHH), naïve cells were harvested using TRIzol� reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was isolated from the TRIzol� extracts using the standard procedure from the manufacturer. O.D. at 260 nm determined RNA concentrations. RNA quality was accessed using an Agilent Technologies bioanalyzer before proceeding to microarray sample preparation. Microarray analysis was performed using the standard protocol provided by Affymetrix Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) and as previously described, starting with 5 µg of total RNA (Richert et al., 2006). Experiment Overall Design: Fragmented, labeled cRNA was hybridized to an Affymetrix human genome U133A array, which contains sequences corresponding to roughly 22,200 transcripts at 45°C overnight. The arrays were washed, developed, and scanned.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms whereby hepatitis B virus (HBV) induces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. We used genomic and molecular techniques to investigate host-virus interactions by mapping the entire liver of patients with HCC. We compared the gene signature of whole liver tissue (WLT) versus laser capture-microdissected (LCM) hepatocytes with intrahepatic expression of HBV. Gene expression profiling was performed on up to 17 WLT specimens obtained at various distances from the tumor center in individual livers of 11 patients with HCC and on selected LCM samples. HBV biomarkers were determined by real-time PCR and confocal immunofluorescence. Analysis of 5 areas of the liver showed a sharp change in gene expression between the immediate perilesional area and tumor periphery that correlated with a significant decrease in the intrahepatic expression of HBsAg. The tumor was characterized by a large preponderance of down-regulated genes, mostly involved in the metabolism of lipid and fatty acid, glucose, amino acids and drugs, with down-regulation of pathways involved in the activation of PXR/RXR and PPARa/RXRa nuclear receptors, comprising PGC1 and FOXO1, two key regulators of the hepatic metabolic functions and HBV transcription. These findings were confirmed by gene expression of microdissected hepatocytes. However, LCM of malignant hepatocytes also revealed up-regulation of unique genes associated with cancer and signaling pathways, including two novel HCC-associated cancer testis antigen (CTA) genes, NUF2 and TTK. HCC-associated with HBV is characterized by a metabolism switch-off and by a significant reduction in HBsAg. LCM proved to be a critical tool to validate gene signatures associated with HCC and to identify genes that may play a role in hepatocarcinogenesis opening new perspectives for the discovery of novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. Samples were obtained at various distances from the tumor center in individual livers of 11 patients with HBV-associated HCC. Whole liver tissue samples were compared to LCM samples of malignant and non-malignant hepatocytes obtained from the same livers. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows a rising incidence with high mortality but lack of effective targeted therapies. We identified the aberrantly expressed miRNAs involved in HCC through the comparison of miRNA expression profiling in cancerous hepatocytes with that in normal primary human hepatocytes and found 37 dysregulated miRNAs in HCC. There were 9 up-regulated miRNAs and 28 down-regulated miRNAs in HCC, of which, miR-221 and miR-99b were the most overexpressed miRNAs, while miR-375, miR-192, miR-146b-5p, miR-885-5p, miR-122* and miR-122 were noted for their greatest changes of decreased expression. These aberrantly expressed miRNAs may provide insights into pathogenesis of HCC and thus may be used for diagnosis and therapy.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes causes severe foodborne illness in pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. After the intestinal phase of infection, the liver plays a central role in the clearance of this pathogen through its important functions in immunity. However, recent evidence suggests that subpopulations of L. monocytogenes may escape eradication after prolonged infection of hepatocytes, by entering a persistence phase in vacuoles. Here, we examine whether this long-term infection alters hepatocyte defense pathways, which may be instrumental for bacterial persistence. We first established models of Listeria infection in human hepatocyte cell lines HepG2 and Huh7 and in primary mouse hepatocytes (PMH). In these cells, Listeria efficiently enters the persistence stage after a 3-day infection, while inducing a type I (PMH) or type I/III (HepG2) or no (Huh7) interferon response. RNA-seq analysis identified a common signature of long-term Listeria infection on the hepatocyte transcriptome, characterized by overexpression of a set of genes involved in antiviral immunity and under-expression of many acute phase protein (APP) genes, particularly involved in the complement and coagulation systems. The decrease in APP transcript amounts correlated with lower protein abundance in the secretome of infected cells, as shown by proteomics, and also occurred in the presence of APP inducers (IL-6 or IL-1b). The results also suggest that long-term Listeria infection affects lipid metabolism pathways. Collectively, these results reveal that long-term infection with L. monocytogenes profoundly deregulates the innate immune functions of hepatocytes, which could generate an environment favorable to the establishment of persistent infection.
