Project description:Gp130 dependent gene expression was analyzed in a previously established hepatocyte-specific gp130-knockout mouse model. Whole transcriptome analysis for isolated hepatocytes was performed to measure tissue specific responses after proinflammatory stimulus with IL-6 across different time points. We observed differences in the hepatocyte-specific transcriptional gp130 dependent response for genes associated with different aspects of the innate immune system. Our findings suggest a complex network of tightly-linked genes involved in the early activation of different parts of the innate immune response including acute phase proteins, complement and coagulation cascade. Total RNA obtained from a total number of 61 samples of isolated hepatocytes of hepatocyte-specific gp130-knockout and gp130flox mice, which were subjected to Il-6 treatment for 0, 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours, respectively.
Project description:Transcriptomic dataset of 15 murine kidneys of 14-week-old male C57Bl6 mice. Mice were divided into 3 treatment groups four weeks prior to nephrectomy and 5 mice had ad libitum (AL) access to food and water, while another 10 mice received 30% food restriction (CR). Calorically restricted mice either received intraperitoneal supplementation of 20-HETE (HETE) or vehicle (Veh, EtOH in sodiumchloride 0.9%) for 8 days on a daily basis prior to nephrectomy. Ad libitum fed mice received vehicle injections for 8 days on a daily basis prior to nephrectomy.

Project description:Regulation of RNA processing contributes profoundly to tissue development and physiology. The serine-arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) is essential for hepatocyte function and survival. Although SRSF1 is mainly known for its many roles in mRNA metabolism, it is also crucial for maintaining genome stability. We show that acute liver damage in the setting of targeted SRSF1 deletion in mice is primarily mediated by the excessive formation of deleterious RNA–DNA hybrids (R-loops), which induce DNA damage. Combining hepatocyte-specific transcriptome, proteome, and RNA binding analyses, we demonstrate that widespread genotoxic stress following SRSF1 depletion results in global inhibition of mRNA transcription and protein synthesis, leading to impaired metabolism and trafficking of lipids. Accumulation of lipids in SRSF1-deficient hepatocytes is quickly followed by necroptotic cell death, inflammation, and fibrosis, resulting in NASH-like liver pathology. This pathogenesis is recapitulated in SRSF1-depleted human liver cancer cells illustrating a conserved and fundamental role for SRSF1 in preserving genome integrity and tissue homeostasis. This data set contains a proteomic comparison of hepatocytes from wild type vs. acute knockout of SRSF1. The acute knockout was generated by injecting 8-week-old SRSF1 fl/fl mice with a viral vector expressing Cre under the control of the liver-specific thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) promoter (AAV8-TBG-iCre). Controls were generated by injecting AAV8-TBG-GFP viral vector. The hepatocytes were isolated 2 weeks post injection.
Project description:To identify HGF/Met regulated genes, we performed expression microarray analysis after inducible activation of Met receptor in primary cultures of hepatocytes established from wild-type control (Alb-Cre +/-) and Met conditional knockout mice (Alb-Cre +/-; Met Fl/Fl). Total RNA was isolated from untreated hepatocyte cultures as well as from cultures treated with 50 ng/ml of HGF for 0.5, 2, 12 or 24 hours. RNA collected from these experiments was converted to fluorescently labeled cDNA and used for hybridizations of oligonucleotide microarrays. All experiments were repeated in triplicates. Total RNA from pooled wild-type mouse hepatocytes was used as universal reference and all hybridizations were repeated following a reverse flourescing.

Project description:TRIM24 and TRIM33 interact to form a corepressor complex that suppresses murine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TRIM24 and TRIM33 cooperatively repress retinoic acid receptor dependent activity of VL30 retro-transposons in hepatocytes in vivo. In TRIM24 knockout hepatocytes, VL30 long terminal repeats (LTRs) generate enhancer (e)RNAs and act as surrogate promoter and enhancer elements deregulating expression of neighbouring genes. We show that a VL30 LTR-derived eRNA is essential to activate the lipocalin 13 gene in hepatocytes in vivo. A further consequence of VL30 de-repression is the accumulation of retro-transcribed VL30 DNA in the cytoplasm of TRIM24-mutant hepatocytes and activation of the viral defence/interferon response. VL30 activation therefore modulates gene expression via the enhancer activity of the LTRs and by activation of the interferon response. Both of these processes are genetically linked to HCC development suggesting that VL30 repression by TRIM24 plays an important role in tumour suppression.
