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:Gene expression data from bioprinted liver tissues comprising primary human hepatocytes (HCs), hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with and without Kupffer cells (KCs) treated with 0.1% DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide: vehicle), 10 ng/mL transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) or 0.209 µM methotrexate (MTX) for either 14 or 28 days. Agents known to cause fibrotic injury were modeled over an extended period of time in this model system in the standard (-KCs) and modified (+KCs) tissue model to elucidate the role of Kupffer cells in modulating the injury/fibrogenic response over time. Samples are from studies corresponding to 4 independent tissue prints 1-4r

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in a variety of human diseases. It has been suggested that dysregulation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) phenotype is a critical early event in the fibrotic process. However, the biological function of lncRNAs in LSECs still remains unclear. Here, we identified that lncRNA-Airn was significantly up-regulated in liver tissues and LSECs of CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Moreover, the expression of AIRN in human cirrhotic liver tissues and serums was remarkably increased as compared with healthy controls. In vivo studies showed that Airn deficiency aggravated CCl4- and BDL-induced liver fibrosis, while Airn overexpression by adeno-associated viral vector serotype 8 vector alleviated CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Furthermore, we revealed that Airn maintained LSECs differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, Airn inhibited hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation indirectly by regulating LSECs differentiation and promoted hepatocytes (HCs) proliferation by the increased paracrine secretion of Wnt2a and HGF from LSECs. Mechanistically, our results demonstrated that Airn maintained LSECs differentiation through KLF2-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) pathway, thereby promoting HSCs quiescence and HCs proliferation. In conclusion, our work identified that Airn is beneficial to liver fibrosis by maintaining LSECs differentiation and might be a novel serum biomarker for liver fibrogenesis.

Project description:The molecular determinants of a healthy human liver cell phenotype remain largely uncharacterized. In addition, the gene expression changes associated with activation of primary human hepatic stellate cells, a key event during fibrogenesis, remain poorly characterized. Here, we provide the transriptomic profile underpinning the healthy phenotype of human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as activated HSCs (aHSCs) We assess the transcriptome for purified, non-cultured human hepatocytes, liver sinusoidal cells (LSECs) and quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSCs) as well as culture-activated HSCs (aHSCs). Hepatocytes (n=2 donors), LSECs (n=3), qHSCs (n=3) and in vitro activated HSCs (n=3; from the same donors as the qHSCs and LSECs) were used for this study.

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:The human liver contains multiple cell types whose epigenetic patterns are undetermined. We examined the promoter methylome of purified and uncultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), hepatocytes (HEPs) and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) and array hybridization. Uncultured HSCs, LSECs and Heps show ~7000-8000 methylated promoters, with 60-70% similarity between all cell types. GO analysis for commonly methylated genes reveals involvement in germ cell development, segregating germ-line from somatic lineage methylation. HSCs, LSECs and HEPs also contain ~500-1000 uniquely methylated promoters; these are implicated in signaling and biosynthetic processes (HSCs), lipid transport and metabolism (LSECs), and chromatin assembly (HEPs). The promoter methylome of culture-activated HSCs deviates from that of their uncultured (quiescent) counterparts. HSC culture-induced activation also enhances methylation differences between individual donors; however this does not necessarily relate to changes in gene expression. HSc activation results in a net gain of promoter DNA methylation, despite the demethylation and de novo methylation of thousands of promoters. Our data provide to our knowledge the first genome-wide maps of promoter DNA methylation in human purified and uncultured liver cell types. Although methylation profiles are largely similar between HSCs, LSECs and hepatocytes, the detection of cell type-specific methylation patterns suggests a differential epigenetic programming of these cell types in the liver. Determine the promoter DNA methylation pattern of 3 uncultured, reshly isolated, human healthy liver cell types (hepatocytes (HEPs), liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) and haptic stellate cells (HSCs), and of HSCs after a 24-h culture-induced activation.

Project description:Macrophages are strongly adapted to their tissue of residence. Yet, we know little about the cell-cell interactions that imprint the tissue-specific identities of macrophages in their respective niches. Using conditional depletion of liver Kupffer cells, we traced the developmental stages of monocytes differentiating into Kupffer cells and mapped the cellular interactions imprinting the Kupffer cell identity. Kupffer cell loss induced the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor-dependent activation of stellate cells and endothelial cells, resulting in the transient production of chemokines and adhesion molecules orchestrating monocyte engraftment. Engrafted circulating monocytes transmigrated into the perisinusoidal space, and acquired the liver-associated transcription factors ID3 and LXRα. Coordinated interactions with hepatocytes induced ID3 expression, while endothelial cells and stellate cells induced LXRα via a synergistic NOTCH-BMP pathway. This study shows that the Kupffer cell niche is composed of stellate cells, hepatocytes and endothelial cells that together imprint the liver-specific macrophage identity.
