Whole genome profiling of liver biopsies discloses potential biomarkers for diagnosis of idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension

ABSTRACT: Background. Idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) is a frequently misdiagnosed cause of portal hypertension. It also lacks a specific test for its diagnosis. This study evaluates whether using new immunohistochemistry makers derived from whole genome analysis improves the diagnosis of INCPH. Methods. We analyzed formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) liver tissue from 18 INCPH and 22 patients with cirrhosis (LC) as well as from 14 histologically normal livers (HNL) as controls. Microarray experiments were performed using Illumina Whole-Genome DASL HT BeadChip arrays. Selected genes showing differential expression at Illumina were confirmed using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) gene expression performed with Fluidigm Biomark HD system in a subgroup of samples. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the qRT-PCR results. Results. At Illumina, a total of 292 genes were differentially expressed (FC>+2/-2 and p-value <0.05) in INCPH compared to the control group (LC and HNL) (202 up-regulated and 90 down-regulated).

Portal Hypertension Induced Changes in Splenic microRNA Expression

Project description:Splenomegaly is caused by several pathological conditions, including portal hypertension, which is most frequently caused by chronic liver disease (e.g., liver cirrhosis). The detailed mechanisms through which portal pressure induces splenomegaly and the precise pathophysiological conditions in portal hypertension-induced splenomegaly remain to be fully elucidated. We used microarrays to identify the differential microRNA expression underlying the portal hypertension-induced splenomegaly.

Transcriptomic signatures of progressive and regressive liver fibrosis and portal hypertension

Project description:Persistent liver injury triggers a fibrogenic program that causes pathologic remodelling of the hepatic microenvironment (i.e., liver fibrosis) and portal hypertension. The dynamics of gene regulation during liver disease progression and regression remain understudied. Here, we generated hepatic transcriptome profiles in two well-established liver disease models at peak fibrosis and during spontaneous regression after the removal of the inducing agents. We linked the dynamics of key liver disease readouts, such as portal pressure, collagen proportionate area, and transaminase serum levels, to most differentially expressed genes, enabling the identification of transcriptomic signatures of progressive vs. regressive liver fibrosis and portal hypertension. These candidate biomarkers (e.g., Scube1, Tcf4, Src, Hmga1, Trem2, Mafk, Mmp7) were also validated in RNA-seq datasets of patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Finally, deconvolution analysis identified major cell types and suggested an association of macrophage and portal hepatocyte signatures with portal hypertension and fibrosis area in both models.

Expression data from patients of idiopathic portal hypertension

Project description:Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is characterized by portal hypertension due to obstruction or stenosis of the intrahepatic peripheral portal branches. Researchers have suggested that IPH may be attributed to intrahepatic peripheral portal vein thrombosis, splenic factors, abnormal autoimmunity, and related factors, however, the etiology of IPH remains unclear. We used microarrays to identify the functions of genes expressed in blood samples from patients with IPH.

GIMAP5 maintains liver sinusoidal endothelial cell identity and prevents portal hypertension

Project description:Chronic liver disease is a major leading cause of portal hypertension that affects approximately 1.5 billion people globally. We show that GIMAP5, a small organellar GTPase, is selectively expressed in liver endothelial cells and human GIMAP5 deficiency causes portal hypertension with capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). LSEC capillarization is recapitulated in GIMAP5 loss-of-function (LOF) mice, and upon conditional Gimap5 deletion in endothelial cells. Single cell RNA-sequencing analyses reveals replacement of LSECs with capillarized endothelial cells and expansion of liver lymphatic endothelial cells in GIMAP5 LOF mice, and places GIMAP5 upstream of GATA4, a transcription factor required for LSEC-specification. Our studies reveal that GIMAP5 prevents portal hypertension by maintaining LSEC identity and suggest that LSEC is an induced endothelial cell state.

Detection of differences in gene expression in the noradrenergic nuclei in the brain

Project description:The goal of this study was to compare the transcriptome of neurons from the locus coeruleus (LC) from wild type and mice that are conditional KO to argininosuccinatelyase (ASL) in the LC. Using an optimized data analysis, we were able to detect difference in the transcription of key enzymes in the synthesis of catecholamine, along with changes in the catecholamine synthesis pathway. Approximately 7% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the WT and ASL-LC cKO mice. The altered expression of the releant genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR. Our study represents the detailed analysis of the LC that revealed novel metabolic regulation on this region.

Project description:Lung cancer (LC) mortality rates are still increasing globally. As survival is linked to stage, there is a need to identify markers for earlier LC diagnosis and individualized treatment. The circulating transcriptome of LC patients represents a source of potential LC biomarkers. We used genome-wide RNA sequencing to identify LC candidate markers by comparing expression of >60,000 genes in whole blood specimens taken at LC diagnosis from cases (n=128) and controls (n=62). Further, we evaluated expression of these markers in two population-based studies with pre-diagnostic whole blood specimens taken up to eight years prior to LC diagnosis (n=163 cases, 184 matched controls). We identified 14 candidate genes in whole blood associated with LC at diagnosis. High expression of ANXA3, ARG1 and HP was strongly associated with lower survival in late-stage LC cases (adjusted p-values 0.009, 0.03, and 0.007, respectively). We observed strong association of ANXA3 and ARG1 expression with LC also in the pre-diagnostic blood specimens, and especially with late-stage LC within two years of diagnosis (odds ratios 3.47 and 5.00, respectively). Although blood neutrophils were elevated in LC cases both in the diagnostic and pre-diagnostic blood specimens, the observed associations of ANXA3, ARG1 and HP with LC were preserved also after adjusting for elevated blood neutrophils. Our results indicate that in whole blood, increased expression levels of ANXA3, ARG1 and HP are diagnostic and prognostic markers of late-stage LC.

Identification of novel metastases-suppressor genes involved in lung cancer brain metastases formation.

Project description:Initial screening for potential metastases suppressors down regulated by methylation was performed using lung cancer cell line models specific for site-specific metastasation. Gene expression profiling and qRT-PCR validations were conducted on tumor tissues from primary lung cancer (LC) and brain metastasis. HERC5 was further characterized for the methylation pattern.
