ScRNAseq of hepatic CD11b positive immune cells from uninjured control (Ctrl) and liver fibrosis resolved (RES) mice


ABSTRACT: To explore key features associated with the resolution process in liver fibrosis, we here applied a previously reported murine liver fibrosis resolution model, in which wild-type mice were injected with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) diluted in olive oil (1:9) intraperitoneally (0.6 μL/g body weight; Sigma) thrice per week for four weeks, and then observed without administration for 96 hours. We conformed that liver fibrosis was resolved in these mice (RES) after 96 hours from the last injection, along with upregulation of hepatic MMPs. Among CD45+ non-parenchymal cells, we noted that most MMPs were expressed by CD11b+ cells. To reveal the transcriptome profiling-based subtypes of CD45+ CD11b+ cells present during the liver fibrosis resolution, we performed scRNA-seq analysis. With corresponding cells from uninjured non-fibrotic wild-type mice as controls (Ctrl), a total of 7969 cells were clustered into 18 clusters based on the gene signatures. We revealed that a unique cluster of Ly6c2-low expressing CD11b+ macrophages (cluster Mac3) were enriched in livers resolved from CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Comprehensive analysis of expression of known toll-like receptors in myeloid clusters demonstrated a unique upregulation of Tlr4 in Mac3. Moreover, only Ly6c2-low myeloid cells belonging to Mac 3 also demonstrated up-regulation of the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodelling, post-phagocytosis, anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic pathways, and combined properties of both M1 and M2 features. Additionally, many of these genes highly expressed in Mac 3 were associated with the TLR4 pathway.
