ABSTRACT: Background: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an autoimmune, cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis surrounding interlobular bile ducts. The cellular composition and cell-cell-communications driving periductal fibrosis remain ill defined.

STAT3 protects from liver injury and fibrosis in a mouse model of sclerosing cholangitis

Project description:Background and aims: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is the main mediator of interleukin-6 type cytokine signaling required for hepatocyte proliferation and hepatoprotection but its role in sclerosing cholangitis and other cholestatic liver diseases remains unresolved. Methods: We investigated the role of Stat3 in inflammation-induced cholestatic liver injury and used mice lacking the multidrug resistance gene 2 (mdr2-/-) as a model for SC. Results: We demonstrate that conditional inactivation of stat3 in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes (stat3 delta hc) of mdr2-/- mice strongly aggravated bile acid-induced liver injury and fibrosis. A similar phenotype was observed in mdr2-/- mice lacking IL-6 production. Biochemical and molecular characterization suggested that Stat3 exerts hepatoprotective functions in both, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Loss of Stat3 in cholangiocytes led to increased expression of TNFÎ± which might reduce the barrier function of bile ducts. Loss of Stat3 in hepatocytes led to upregulation of bile acid biosynthesis genes and downregulation of hepatoprotective epidermal growth factor receptor and insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling pathways. Consistently, stat3deltahc mice were more sensitive to cholic acid-induced liver damage than control mice. Conclusions: Our data suggest that Stat3 prevents cholestasis and liver damage in sclerosing cholangitis via regulation of pivotal functions in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Affymetrix microarray analyses was performed to identify metabolic and molecular pathways in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice that lead to cholestasis and bile acid-induced liver injury. To avoid false positive results that are due to differential cellular composition, we defined the onset of fibrosis and expression of fibrogenic factors in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice.

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.

Macrophage signaling associates with fibrogenic program activation in periductal fibroblasts in pediatric primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Project description:Two diagnostic liver biopsy specimens from pediatric patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis were profiled by single-cell spatial transcriptomics using the VizGen MERSCOPE platform with a custom 400-gene liver immunology panel. The material consisted of freshly cut, unstained sections from archived FFPE needle biopsies mounted on VizGen-provided slides for hybridization according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Both specimens contained focal periductal and bridging fibrosis.

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.

Affect of Aramchol on TGFβ stimulated H69 Cholangiocytes

Project description:Cholestatic liver diseases, such as primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), are characterized by biliary fibroinflammation. Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) activated cholangiocytes release signals that recruit immune cells to drive inflammation and activate myofibroblasts to deposit the extracellular matrix (ECM). TGFβ regulates stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) in stimulating lipid signaling. However, the role of SCD or its inhibitor, Aramchol, has not been investigated in biliary fibroinflammation. Here we used human transformed H69 cholangiocytes that were treated with TGFβ (10ng/mL) with and without Aramchol acid (30µM) overnight. RNA-seq analysis showed significant inhibition of TGFβ-induced hepatic fibrosis pathways while upregulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling by Aramchol.

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

Project description: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.

Cholangiocarcinoma tumorigenesis in Abcb4(Mdr2)-/- and wild-type mice by transposon-based oncogenes integration

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a dreaded complication of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), difficult to diagnose and associated with high mortality. Lack of animal models of CCA recapitulating the hepatic microenvironment of sclerosing cholangitis hinders development of novel treatments. We have developed and characterized a new mouse model of PSC-CCA through hydrodynamic tail vein injection of oncogenes pT3-EF1a-HA-myrAKT (AKT) and pT3-EF1a-YapS127A (YAP1), termed SB CCA.Mdr2-/-, which features reliable tumor induction in PSC-like background of biliary injury and fibrosis. To unravel the potential molecular profile of CCA developed in different liver context, we profiled the transcriptomes of tumor-bearing fibrotic (Mdr2-/-) (n = 6) and tumor-bearing wild-type liver tissues (n = 6) and compared to corresponding control nontumor-bearing fibrotic (Mdr2-/-) (n = 6) and healthy liver tissues (n = 6). RNA-seq analysis revealed profound transcriptional differences in CCA evolving in PSC-like context, compared to CCA in healthy liver.
