Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics characterisation of the immunological landscape in the healthy and PSC human liver

ABSTRACT: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease characterized by chronic inflammation and irreparable damage to the bile ducts. Due to a limited understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of disease, there remains a paucity of treatment options. As such, we sequenced healthy and diseased livers to compare the activity, interactions, and localization of immune and non-immune cells. This revealed that outside PSC scar regions, hepatocytes are transitioning to bile duct cells, whereas within the scars, there is an accumulation of immune cells. Of these cells, macrophages that typically contribute to tissue repair were enriched in immunoregulatory genes and were less responsive to stimulation. These cells are likely involved in maintaining hepatic inflammation and could be targeted in novel therapeutic development.

Downregulation of TGR5 (GPBAR1) in biliary epithelial cells is characteristic of sclerosing cholangitis and may contribute to disease pathogenesis

Project description:Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the biliary tree. The bile acid receptor TGR5 is found on biliary epithelial cells (BECs), where it promotes secretion, proliferation and tight junction integrity. Thus, we speculated that changes in TGR5 expression in BECs may contribute to PSC pathogenesis.

High-throughput sequencing of the human hepatic progenitor cell niche in PSC and HCV.

Project description:This study identified hepatic progenitor cell (HPC) niche-associated signalling pathways relevant in different chronic liver diseases using a high-throughput sequencing approach. The HPC niche was isolated using laser microdissection from patient samples diagnosed with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), as models for hepatocellular or biliary regeneration. Differentially expressed genes in the HPC niche of PSC and HCV correlated to pathways involved in immune signalling, fibrogenesis and angiogenesis.

Serum and bile proteomics reveal candidates for new noninvasive serum markers of primary sclerosing cholangitis and of risk of disease progression and biliary neoplasia.

Project description:Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by biliary strictures, cholestasis, and an increased risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Here, we have used label-free quantitative proteomics to analyze serum and bile samples from non-PSC controls and PSC patients, as well as from PSC patients divided into groups according to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography score (with a score of >4 indicating advanced disease) and presence or absence of biliary dysplasia/CCA. Further analyses subsequently identified multiple candidates of new noninvasive serum markers for the diagnosis of PSC, as well as new markers for the prediction of the risk of disease progression and biliary neoplasia for patients already diagnosed with PSC.

Proteomic analysis of serum EVs derived from PSC, CCA and PSC-CCA patients

Project description:Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are heterogeneous biliary cancers with dismal prognosis. Their etiologies remain mostly unclear, although primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a well-known risk factor. There is an urgent need of accurate non-invasive biomarkers for early CCA diagnosis and to predict patient´s prognosis, which may improve their clinical management and outcome. Here, by high-throughput proteomic analysis of serum extracellular vesicles (EVs), we identified diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers specific for CCAs in patients with PSC, and others common to all CCA subtypes. Bulk RNA tissue transcriptomic data revealed that these biomarkers are predominantly expressed in hepatobiliary tissues, being expressed in different liver cell types. Furthermore, single-cell RNAseq (scRNA-seq) analysis revealed that the expression of these biomarkers was preferentially found in malignant cholangiocytes within CCA tumors. In summary, these results highlight the potential of serum EVs to reflect cancer presence, especially for difficult-to-diagnose malignancies, including CCA."

Single-cell Atlas of intrahepatic T cells reveals a population of liver-resident naive-like CD4+ T cells expanded in primary sclerosing cholangitis

Project description:The composition of intrahepatic immune cells in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and their contribution to disease pathogenesis is widely unknown. We here generated a single-cell atlas of intrahepatic T cells in PSC, a type of immune cells that has previously been involved in the pathogenesis of PSC. This atlas provides a valuable data source to the field. Using that atlas, we identified a population of liver-resident naive-like CD4+ T cells which are expanded in livers of patients with PSC compared to healthy and other liver diseases. Trajectory inference suggest that these cells have a propensity to acquire TH17-associated effector functions. Using blood-derived cells naive CD4+ T cells we experimentally prove this propensity. Since TH17-polarized cells are considered to contribute to the development of PSC, our findings point towards a so far underestimated role of naive T cells in PSC.

Common functional alterations identified in blood transcriptome of autoimmune cholestatic liver and inflammatory bowel diseases

Project description:Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are heterogeneous chronic autoimmune diseases that may share underlying pathogenic mechanisms. Herein, we compared simultaneously analyzed blood transcriptomes from patients with PBC, PSC, and IBD.
