Project description:Gene-expression profiles of liver tissue of cabon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated mouse and the effect of erlotinib Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common solid tumor worldwide and the third leading cause of cancer-related death. Given the lack of successful treatment options, chemoprevention in high-risk patients has been proposed as an alternative strategy. Mounting evidence supports a role for epidermal growth factor (EGF) during chronic liver disease and hepatocellular transformation. We address the hypothesis that blocking the EGF-EGF receptor (EGFR) pathway may be an effective strategy for inhibiting fibrogenesis and hepatocarcinogenesis. A rat model of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced cirrhosis was used to examine the effects of erlotinib on underlying chronic liver disease and HCC formation. The DEN-induced rat model closely resembles disease progression in humans both pathologically and molecularly. Erlotinib significantly prevented the development of HCC tumor nodules in a dose-dependent fashion. Further, erlotinib inhibited the activation of hepatic stellate cells and prevented fibrogenesis. Erlotinib also reduced hepatotoxicity and improved liver function. Finally, a gene expression signature predictive of poor survival in human cirrhosis patients was reversed in response to erlotinib. Our data demonstrate for the first time that EGFR inhibition prevents liver fibrogenesis. Further, our results suggest that erlotinib is a potentially effective HCC chemoprevention strategy through inhibition of cirrhosis progression which can be monitored at the molecular level. Animals received humane care according to the criteria outlined in the M-bM-^@M-^\Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory AnimalsM-bM-^@M-^] of the National Academy of Sciences. All animals were maintained in accordance with the institutional guidelines of the Massachusetts General Hospital Subcommittee on Research Animal Care. Strain A/J male mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were treated three times a week for 18 weeks with either 0.1cc of a 40 percent solution of CCl4 (Sigma) in olive oil or with vehicle control by oral gavage. Mice were sacrificed at 19 weeks after a one-week washout to eliminate acute effects of CCl4. The liver was sectioned and fixed in phosphate-buffered 10% formaldehyde for histological analysis. The remaining portions of the liver were collected in RNase-free tubes and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen tissues were stored at -80M-BM-0C until use.

Project description:Preclinical biomarkers useful for identification of idiosyncratic drugs have not been identified. It is hypothesized that patterns of transcript expression for the hepatotoxicants, including classical and idiosyncratic hepatotoxicants, are similar and the patterns differ from those of non-hepatotoxicants. This experiment is part of the biomarkers study, and focus on two clasical hepatotoxicants: Acetaminophen and Carbon tetrachloride. We have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify liver gene expression changes induced by hepatotoxicants. For the same animal, urinary microRNA profiling were analyzed. APAP and CCl4 both significantly increased the urinary levels of 44 and 28 miRNAs, respectively. In addition, 10 of the increased miRNAs were in common between APAP and CCl4. Computational analysis was used to predict target genes of the 10 shared hepatotoxicant-induced miRNAs. From the same animals, liver gene expression profiling was performed using whole genome microarrays. Eight putative target genes were found to be significantly altered in the liver of APAP and CCl4 treated animals. Acetaminophen induced liver gene expression changes in rats (Six to seven week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats, provided by the US Food and Drug Administration National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) breeding colonies, were used for the study.) were measured at 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days after exposure to doses of 0, 100 and 1250 mg/kg. Carbon tetrachloride induced liver gene expression changes in rats were measured at 6 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after exposure to doses of 0, 50 and 2000 mg/kg. Each group has at least 4 animals, total of 96 samples.

Project description:To investigate the differences in microRNA expression profiles between fibrotic and normal livers, we performed microRNA microarrays for total RNA extracts isolated from mouse livers treated with carbontetrachloride (CCl4) or corn-oil for 10 weeks (n=3/group). MicroRNAs were considered to have significant differences in expression level when the expression difference showed more than two-fold change between the experimental and control groups at p<0.05. We found that 12 miRNAs were differentially expressed in CCl4-induced fibrotic liver. To induce chronic liver fibrosis, seven-week-old mice received 0.6 ml/kg body weight of carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4) dissolved in corn-oil by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, twice a week for 10 weeks (n=3). As a control, same number of mice was injected with equal volume of corn-oil for 10 weeks.

Project description:Since xenobiotics enter the organism via the liver, hepatocytes must cope with numerous perturbations. In particular, exposure to hepatotoxic agents resulting in liver injury triggers a strong alteration in gene expression. The contribution of these transcriptional regulatory networks to the propagation of injury (i.e. by modulation of metabolic pathways, inflammation, proliferation) are not fully understood. Therefore, we conducted a time-resolved gene array study on mouse liver after exposure to a single intraperitoneal injection of the hepatotoxic compound carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). This model induces a transient injury which reaches its maximum between 2 to 3 days after injection, followed by a precise regenerative response. The experiment included early time points (i.e. 2 and 8h) and late time points (1 to 16 days) to cover the initial events induced by CCl4 metabolization and cell stress, and the regenerative phase between 2-6 days after intoxicaiton. C57BL/6N male mice (8-12 weeks old) were obtained from Charles Rivers (Sulzfeld, Germany). The local Ethics committee approved the experiments. 4-5 mice were used for each time point. Mice received a single intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 (1.6 g/kg body weight) dissolved in 0.5 ml olive oil. The liver tissue was collected after 2h, 8h, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 16 days following CCl4 administration. As control, mice received 0.5 ml of olive oil intraperitonealy for 1 or 8 days. Healthy liver was collected from untreated mice. At the indicated time points, mice were anesthetized and blood was collected from the heart with a 25 gauge needle, using EDTA as anticoagulant, for analysis of the liver transaminases GOT and GPT in serum. Afterwards, the liver was resected, washed in ice cold PBS and sectioned for further analysis. Liver tissue sections of about 0.5 cm2 were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ﾰC for subsequent isolation of proteins or RNA. RNA was isolated from mouse liver tissue using the Phenol/Chloroform method (Trizolﾮ, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturerﾒs instructions. RNA concentration and integrity were determined spectrophotometrically in a Nanodropﾮ2000 (ThermoScientific, Waltham MA, USA) and in a Bioanalyzerﾮ (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany), respectively.

Project description:Liver fibrosis is a multifactorial trait that develops in response to chronic liver injury. Our aim was to characterize the genetic architecture of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis using the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP), a panel of over 100 genetically distinct mouse strains optimized for genome wide association studies and systems genetics. Chronic liver injury was induced by CCl4 injections twice weekly for six weeks. 437 mice received CCl4 and 256 received vehicle, after which animals were sacrificed for liver histology and gene expression. Using automated digital image analysis, we quantified fibrosis as the collagen proportionate area % (CPA%) of the whole section, excluding normal collagen. We discovered broad variation in fibrosis among the HMDP strains, demonstrating a significant genetic influence on this trait, with an estimated heritability (H2) of 44%. Genome-wide association analyses revealed significant and suggestive loci underlying susceptibility to fibrosis, some of which overlapped with loci identified in mouse crosses and human population studies. Liver global gene expression was assessed by RNA sequencing, and gene set enrichment analyses identified the underlying pathways, of which stellate cell involvement was prominent. We also performed expression quantitative trait locus analyses to identify strong causal candidate genes. Our results provide a rich resource for the design of experiments to understand mechanisms underlying fibrosis and for rational strain selection when testing anti-fibrotic drugs.
