Project description:Mdr2 is the transporter of phosphatidylcholine, which is an essential component of bile. Deficiency of mdr2 causes hepatic inflammation, liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Mdr2-/- MEFs show increased proliferation, spontaneous transformation and tumorigenesis. We used microarray to obtain genome-wide profiling of gene expression underlying the changes in mdr2-/- MEFs. MEFs derived from wt and mdr2-/- littermate embyos were subjected to passage according to 3T3 protocols. RNA was extracted from cells on passage 40 and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:The liver is the central organ critically regulating the balance of the metabolically potent yet toxic bile acids in the body. While genomic association studies have pointed to hepatic Sel1L – a critical component of mammalian Hrd1 ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery – as an influencer of serum bile acid levels, physiological relevance and mechanistic insights of ERAD in bile homeostasis remain unexplored. Using hepatocyte-specific Sel1L-deficient mouse models, we report that hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD critically manages bile homeostasis in the body. Mice with hepatocyte-specific Sel1L developed intrahepatic cholestasis, with significant overload of bile acids in the liver and circulation under basal condition, and were hypersensitive to dietary bile acid challenge. By contrast, biliary bile acid and phosphatidylcholine levels were reduced, pointing to an export defect from hepatocytes. Unbiased proteomics analysis followed by biochemical assays revealed significant accumulation of the bile-stabilizing phosphatidylcholine exporter ATP-binding cassette 4 (Abcb4) in the ER of Sel1L-deficient livers, a gene associated with Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis type III. Indeed, Abcb4 was a substrate of Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD. Hence, hepatic Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD maintains bile equilibrium via quality control of Abcb4 maturation in the ER.

Project description:We studied the molecular mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) initiation and promotion using the Mdr2-knockout (Mdr2-KO) mice at pre-cancerous stages of liver disease. These mice lack the liver-specific P-glycoprotein responsible for phosphatidylcholine transport across the canalicular membrane. Portal inflammation ensues at an early age followed by the development of HCC between the ages of 12 and 15 months. Liver tissue samples of Mdr2-KO and control Mdr2-heterozygotes mice aged 3 and 12 months, were subjected to histological, biochemical and gene expression profiling analysis using Affymetrix Mouse Genome Array.

Project description:Growth hormone (GH) resistance has been associated with liver cirrhosis in humans but its contribution to the disease remains controversial. In order to elucidate whether GH resistance plays a causal role in the establishment and development of liver fibrosis, or rather represents a major consequence thereof, we challenged mice lacking the Growth hormone receptor gene (Ghr-/-, a model for GH resistance) by crossing them with Mdr2 knockout mice (Mdr2-/-), a mouse model of inflammatory cholestasis and liver fibrosis. Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice showed elevated serum markers associated with liver damage and cholestasis, extensive bile duct proliferation and increased collagen deposition relative to Mdr2 -/- mice, thus suggesting a more severe liver fibrosis phenotype. Additionally, Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice had a pronounced down-regulation of hepato-protective genes Hnf6, Egfr and Igf-1, and significantly increased levels of ROS and apoptosis in hepatocytes, compared to control mice. Moreover, single knockout mice (Ghr-/-) fed with a diet containing 1% cholic acid displayed an increase in hepatocyte ROS production, hepatocyte apoptosis and bile infarcts compared to their wildtype littermates, indicating that loss of Ghr renders hepatocytes more susceptible to toxic bile acid accumulation. Surprisingly, and despite their severe fibrotic phenotype, Ghr-/-;Mdr2-/- mice displayed a significant decrease in tumour incidence compared to Mdr2-/- mice, indicating that loss of Ghr signaling may slow the progression from fibrosis/cirrhosis to cancer in the liver.

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 TNFα 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.

Project description:The multidrug resistance gene 2 (Mdr2 or Abcb4) encodes a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) - a phospholipid flippase - that is the murine orthologue of the MDR3 gene in humans. The MDR2 protein is principally expressed in the bile canalicular membrane of the liver. A homozygous disruption of Abcb4 causes absence of phospholipids from bile. This phospholipid deficiency results in liver injury. The Balb-Abcb4-/- mouse strain has been generated by introgressing the Abcb4 knockout from the fibrosis-resistant FVB/NJ (FVB.129P2-Abcb4tm1Bor/J) strain into the susceptible BALB/cJ background, by backcrossing FVB- Abcb4-/- mice in to fibrosis-susceptible BALB/cJ mice for 10 generations.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is estimated to impact between 0.4% and 5% of pregnancies worldwide. This disease is associated with elevated maternal bile acids and frequently untoward neonatal outcomes such as respiratory distress and asphyxia. Multiple candidate genes have been implicated, but none have provided insight into the mechanisms of neonatal respiratory distress and death. Herein our studies demonstrate that maternal cholestasis (due to Abcb11 deficiency) produces 100% neonatal death within 24h due to atelectasis producing pulmonary hypoxia, which recapitulates the respiratory distress and asphyxia of human ICP. We show that these neonates have elevated pulmonary bile acids that are associated with disrupted structure of pulmonary surfactant. Maternal absence of Nr1i2 superimposed upon Abcb11 deficiency strongly increased neonatal survival and is directly related to reduced maternal bile acid concentrations. The mechanism accounting for reduced serum bile acids in the mothers deficient in both Nr1i2 and Abcb11 appears related to disrupted reabsorption of intestinal bile acids due to changes in transporter expression. These findings provide novel insights into pulmonary failure by revealing bile acids capability to disrupt the structure of surfactant producing collapsed alveoli, pulmonary failure and ultimately death. These findings have important implications for neonatal health especially when maternal bile acids are elevated during pregnancy and highlight a potential pathway and targets amenable to therapeutic intervention to ameliorate this condition. We used microarrays to measure changes in gene expression profiles in lung tissues from Abcb11+/- lungs after interbreeding C57BL/6 wild-type female or C57BL/6 Abcb11-/- female mice against either C57BL/6 wild-type male mice or C57BL/6 Abcb11-/- male mice to create only heterozygote offspring. We also measured profiles in liver tissues from age-matched C57BL/6 wild-type and C57BL/6 Abcb11-/- mice. Lung tissues were collected from day E17.5, E18.5 and neonatal (N0) mice. Liver tissues were collected from 1.5-month-old C57BL/6 wildtype and Abcb11-/- mice.

For each mutant animal two technical replicates were performed including a dye swap experiment.
