Lipid influx enforces liver regeneration through the recruitment of CD36+ macrophages (scRNA-Seq and RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The liver possesses a remarkable regeneration capacity under a wide variety of injury conditions, like partial hepatectomy (PHx) and over-dose acetaminophen (APAP) treatment. Macrophages, multitask at the wound site by facilitating wound debridement and producing chemokines, metabolites and growth factors, and consequently determine the balance between ongoing damage and repair following tissue injury. CD36, which is universally expressed in a wide variety of cells (i.e., macrophages, adipocytes, myocytes, enterocytes and hepatocytes), and serves as the predominant fatty acid uptake facilitator of the cells to uptake microenvironmentally enriched lipids in various settings. However, the role for macrophage CD36 in mediating lipid accumulation as well as the regeneration of liver post physiological or pathophysiological injury still remains largely unknown. Herein, by utilizing multiple seq-based methods, we found the transient lipid accumulation in injured livers post PHx or APAP treatment exerted fundamental impacts on hepatic immune remodeling and induced the recruitment of macrophages with high level of CD36 expression and excessive lipid accumulation which facilitate the regeneration of livers. CD36-mediated lipid influx in macrophages triggers the activation of IRE1a signaling pathways via intracellular ceramide accumulation to promote high levels of IL6 production to accelerate liver regeneration.

Aquaporin 5 deficiency suppresses fatty acid oxidation and delays liver regeneration through the transcription factor PPAR.

Project description:After 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx), the metabolic pathways leading to hepatocyte lipid droplet accumulation during liver regeneration remain unclear. Aquaporin 5 (Aqp5) is an aquaporin and peroporin that facilitates the transport of both water and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this study, we observed a delayed liver regeneration following PHx in Aqp5 knockout (Aqp5−/−) mice. Considering the role of Aqp5 in H2O2 transport, we hypothesized that deficiency in Aqp5 may induce oxidative stress and hepatocyte injury. Through the measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox-related indices, we observed significant alterations in ROS levels as well as malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations in regenerating livers lacking Aqp5 compared to wild-type controls. Oil Red O and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) staining results indicated that Aqp5 deficiency caused lipid accumulation during liver regeneration. The transcriptome sequencing results showed that the PPAR pathway is inhibited during the liver regeneration process in Aqp5 gene-knockout mice.The administration of the WY-14643 agonist, which targets the PPAR pathway, significantly mitigated delayed liver regeneration by enhancing hepatocyte proliferation and reducing lipid accumulation caused by Aqp5 deficiency. Our findings highlight the crucial role of Aqp5 in regulating H2O2 levels and lipid metabolism through the PPAR pathway during liver regeneration.

Hepatocyte-specific MET deletion exacerbates acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in mice

Project description:Despite the well-known role of MET in liver regeneration following partial-hepatectomy (PHx), its role in the clinically-relevant acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury (AILI) model remains unexplored. AILI markedly differs from PHx because it is associated with massive liver necrosis. This study aims to delineate the role of MET specifically in AILI. Hepatocyte-specific MET-KO mice were given a toxic-dose of APAP and assessed for hepatotoxicity/regeneration parameters. MET deletion strikingly exacerbated initial hepatotoxicity and impaired subsequent proliferative response, culminating in significant mortality. Mechanistically, MET deletion enhanced JNK-activation and its mitochondrial translocation, resulting in excessive mitochondrial oxidative-damage, releasing cell-death inducer AIF into cytosol. Excess JNK-activation was attributed to reduced inhibitory activity of AKT on JNK in the absence of MET-signaling. Pharmacological activation of AKT reduced JNK-activation and hepatotoxicity in MET-KO mice. RNA-sequencing/immunoblotting not only showed repression of proliferative/survival signaling, but also activation of cell death/senescence pathways along with impaired unfolded-protein-response in MET-KO mice. Analysis of published single-nucleus RNA-sequencing data showed proliferation in livers from APAP-induced ALF patients was associated with strong activation of HGF/MET signaling in hepatocytes, with spatial-transcriptomics showing striking induction of HGF surrounding the necrotic-zones. Interestingly, 35% of the genes altered in human-ALF were regulated by MET in the mouse AILI-model. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that MET is crucial for restraining hepatotoxicity following APAP overdose via inhibiting mitochondrial cell-death signaling pathway.

Hepatocytes reprogram liver macrophages involving control of TGF-β activation, influencing liver regeneration and injury

Project description:We aimed at elucidating the molecular and cellular crosstalk how inflammation controls proper liver regeneration. Therefore populations of liver macrophages were studied in genetically different mouse models after PHx using flow cytometry and single cell sequencing. Intercellular communication was examined in vitro, combining proteomics and transcriptomics. We observed marked changes in the composition of macrophage populations in the liver during the regeneration process. A F4/80+/CD11bhigh/CD14high macrophage population that is recruited in a CCR2 dependent manner increased rapidly after PHx. The polarization of the recruited macrophages differs from that under homeostatic conditions , but reappears during the late phase of the process. Proteomics, secretomics, and transcriptomics show that hepatocyte derived signals reduce the availability of active TGFb and thereby affect macrophage polarization and function towards the aforementioned phenotype. Depleting the TGFb type II receptor in myeloid cells phenocopies the hepatocyte-mediated macrophage polarization in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, disrupting TGFb signal transduction in macrophages is associated with increased expression of regeneration-relevant cytokines such as IL-6, reduced resection-induced liver damage and prolongated proliferation phase of hepatocytes in mice. Conclusion: Upon liver injury, hepatocytes have a major influence on the activation state of recruited liver macrophages by regulating the availability of active TGFb and TGFb induces a macrophage phenotype that aggravates injury. Ultimately, this mechanism influences the extent of intervention-induced liver injury as well as the proliferation phase during liver regeneration. In this data set, we investigated the influence of hepatocytes on co-cultured macrophages and vice versa.

Cryopreserved human alternatively activated macrophages promote resolution of acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mouse

Project description:Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rapidly progressing, life-threatening condition most commonly caused by an overdose of acetaminophen (paracetamol). The antidote, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), has limited efficacy when liver injury is established. If acute liver damage is severe, liver failure can rapidly develop with associated high mortality rates. We have previously demonstrated that alternatively activated macrophages are a potential therapeutic option to reverse acute liver injury in pre-clinical models. In this paper we present data using cryopreserved human alternatively activated macrophages (hAAMs) - which represent a potential, rapidly available, treatment suitable for use in the acute setting. In a mouse model of APAP-induced injury, peripherally injected cryopreserved hAAMs reduced liver necrosis, modulated inflammatory responses, and enhanced liver regeneration. hAAMs were effective even when administered after the therapeutic window for N-acetylcysteine. This cell therapy approach represents a potential treatment for APAP overdose when NAC is ineffective because liver injury is established.

Survivin deficient liver of mice after partial hepatectomy

Project description:The liver possesses remarkable regenerative capacity in response to injury. Upon partial hepatectomy (PHx), terminally differentiated hepatocytes in the remaining liver enter the cell cycle and restore the liver mass and function within weeks. However, liver regeneration is often impaired in livers with chronic diseases. Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) and member of chromosome passenger complex (CPC), plays versatile roles in cell mitosis and apoptosis. We and others found that the expression of Survivin was highly increased in liver during PHx-induced liver regeneration, which indicated that Survivin played important roles in this process. However, the function of Survivin in liver regeneration remains largely undefined. Here, using mice with genetic deletion of Survivin, we found that during PHx-induced liver regeneration Survivin regulated both hepatocyte G1/S phase transition by inhibiting the expression of p21 and G2/M phase transition by regulating the localization of CPC. Moreover, restoration of Survivin expression in Survivin-deficient hepatocytes inhibited p21 expression and promote both hepatocyte G1/S and G2/M transition during PHx-induced liver regeneration.

SILAC-Based Characterization of Plasma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Patients Undergoing Partial Hepatectomy

Project description:Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains a significant risk for patients undergoing partial hepatectomy (PHx). Reliable prognostic markers and treatments to enhance liver regeneration are lacking. Plasma nanoparticles, including lipoproteins, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles (EVs), can reflect systemic and tissue-wide proteostasis and stress, potentially aiding liver regeneration. Our study included nine patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing PHx. Patient plasma was collected before PHx as well as 1 and 5 days after and the EV-protein repertoire was analysed by quantitative mass spectrometry using a super-SILAC mix prepared from primary and cancer cell lines. This longitudinal proteomic analysis of the EVs circulating in the plasma of human patients undergoing PHx uncovers proteomic signatures associated with PHLF, which reflect dying hepatocytes and endothelial cells and were already present before PHx.

Diploid Hepatocytes Resist Acetaminophen-Induced Liver Injury Through Suppressed JNK Signaling

Project description:Background & Aims: The liver contains both diploid and polyploid hepatocytes, but their functional differences remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that each ploidy state contributes to regeneration in an injury-specific manner. We hypothesized that diploid hepatocytes promote healing after acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury. Approach & Results: To study ploidy populations in vivo, we utilized mice with a lifelong liver-specific knockout of E2f7/E2f8 (LKO), which are enriched in diploid hepatocytes (>70%) but otherwise normal. Control and LKO mice were treated with APAP (300 or 600 mg/kg), and injury was assessed over 0-96 hours. Although both groups sustained injury, LKO mice showed improved survival, lower serum liver enzyme levels, and reduced necrosis and DNA fragmentation, indicating resistance to APAP-induced injury. To determine if resistance was due to E2f7/E2f8 loss or increased diploidy, we deleted E2f7/E2f8 in adult hepatocytes (HKO), a model that does not alter ploidy. Injury was similar between controls and HKO, ruling out gene deletion as the protective factor. Transcriptomic and protein analyses revealed minimal baseline differences; however, following APAP treatment, LKO livers exhibited reduced JNK activation and less mitochondrial injury. Finally, APAP-treated wild-type hepatocytes exhibited a shift toward lower ploidy, supporting the idea that diploid cells are more resistant to injury. Conclusions: Diploid hepatocytes resist APAP-induced liver injury through reduced JNK activation and mitochondrial damage. These findings highlight hepatocyte ploidy as a key determinant of injury response and suggest a protective role for diploid hepatocytes in promoting liver resilience and regeneration.

Adipocyte death drives fat redistribution from adipocytes to hepatocytes in steatotic liver disease via S100A8+ macrophages [RNA-seq]

Project description:Both adipocytes and hepatocytes have the capacity to store fat, but the factor(s) that determine fat distribution between these cell types remain unknown. In mice fed a high-fat diet, fat initially accumulates predominantly in adipocytes, while hepatic fat accumulation mainly emerges after the onset of epididymal adipocyte death that results in elevated free fatty acids to promote lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. However, it remains unclear whether other signals following adipocyte death are required to direct and/or promote hepatocytes to store fat and subsequently trigger metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). Using genetically modified mouse models combined with bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, we demonstrated that adipocyte death induces an accumulation of S100A8+ macrophages in the liver, which is partially induced by fatty acids. Macrophage-specific deletion of the S100a8 gene reduced hepatic fat accumulation and MASLD severity in mice. Mechanistically, S100A8+ macrophages suppress cellular communication network factor (CCN3), a negative regulator of CD36, thereby enhancing CD36 expression in hepatocytes. In conclusion, adipocyte death promotes hepatic infiltration of S100A8+ macrophages, which drive hepatocyte lipid storage and subsequently promote MASLD progression through CD36 upregulation, partially mediated by CCN3 suppression.
