Project description:Global gene expression patterns of 2 human steatosis and 9 human non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) together with their respective control patterns were analyzed to define the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression molecular characteristics and to define NASH early markers from steatosis. Human liver samples of steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a kind serious liver disease, which will develope into the cirrhosis, liver cancer and so on. The study results show that riboflavin has the protective effect against ALD. Then the study divides the C57BL/6 mice into the three groups that were Control (C), Alcohol, Alcohol with riboflavin (AR) groups respectively. And the study makes the mouse liver RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to find the differential expression mRNAs among three groups futher and does the related analysis in riboflavin-treated alcoholic liver disease.
Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a kind of liver disease that will result in liver cancer and some other high death rate liver disease. The study results show that riboflavin could protect the mouse against ALD. Then the study divides the C57BL/6 mice into the three groups including Control (C), Alcohol, Alcohol with riboflavin (AR) groups respectively. And the study makes the mouse stool samples 16S RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to find the differential itestinal microbiota homeostasis among three groups futher and does the related analysis in riboflavin-treated alcoholic liver disease.
Project description:Characterization of HDL proteome in patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and to evaluate the impact on HDL function.
Project description:Recent studies have identified a genetic variant rs641738 near two genes encoding membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7) and transmembrane channel-like 4 (TMC4) that associate with increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcohol-related cirrhosis, and liver fibrosis in those infected with viral hepatitis1-7. Based on hepatic expression quantitative trait loci analysis it has been suggested that MBOAT7 loss of function promotes liver disease progression1-7, but this has never been formally tested. Here we show that Mboat7 loss, but not Tmc4, in mice is sufficient to promote the progression of NAFLD in the setting of high fat diet. Mboat7 loss of function is associated with accumulation of its substrate lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) lipids, and direct administration of LPI promotes hepatic inflammatory and fibrotic transcriptional changes in an Mboat7-dependent manner. These studies reveal a novel role for MBOAT7-driven acylation of LPI lipids in suppressing the progression of N

Project description:Simple steatosis (SS) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The difference in pathogenesis between SS and NASH is still not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding short RNAs that regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of miRNA expression profiles with SS and NASH in animal models and humans.
