Project description:Background: Of Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 85%-90% of cases develop from liver cirrhosis, and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have important roles in this process; however, differences in serum circRNA expression profiles between patients with HBV-related cirrhosis and those with HCC have not been studied. Methods: Serum RNA was extracted from patients with HCC and cirrhosis (n = 5 per group) and used for microarray analysis of circRNA expression profiles. Bioinformatics analyses, including clustering, differential expression, and construction of a ceRNA network, were performed. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR validation analysis was conducted using samples from patients with HBV-related cirrhosis (n = 88) and HCC (n = 73). Further, statistical analyses were used to analyze the potential function and value of selected circRNAs with expression differing between the HBV-related cirrhosis and HCC groups. Results: Cluster analysis revealed 8 up-regulated and 80 down-regulated circRNAs. Further, qRT-PCR analysis showed that circRNA_0000367 expression was consistent with that detected by microarray experiments, with significantly lower levels in patients with HBV-related HCC than those with HBV-related cirrhosis. CircRNA_0000367 expression levels were also significantly lower in patients with drug-resistant HBV and those with HBV-related cirrhosis with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score < 10. Further, circRNA_00000367 expression levels were lower in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis who progressed to HCC. Analysis of the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network identified 39 miRNAs and 24 mRNAs involved in circRNA_00000367 networks; these target genes were involved in various biological processes and signaling pathways. Conclusion: Serum cicrRNA_0000367 is a potential HCC biomarker in patients with HBV-related cirrhosis, where down-regulation of cicrRNA_0000367 in HBV-related cirrhosis may be associated with progression to HCC.

Project description:Intestinal barrier dysfunction, driven by increased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity that leads to tissue hypoxia, contributes to the progression of cirrhosis, particularly impacting the upper intestine. This study explores the interplay between intestinal OXPHOS, gut microbiota changes, and the effects of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in cirrhotic patients. We investigated 32 age-matched men across three groups: healthy controls, compensated cirrhosis, and decompensated cirrhosis. Each underwent endoscopy with duodenal and ascending colon biopsies. Subsequently, in a follow-up study, nine patients with hepatic encephalopathy, previously enrolled in a randomized controlled trial for FMT capsules, underwent repeat pre and post-FMT upper endoscopy. Our bioinformatics analysis highlighted a significant upregulation of nuclear-encoded OXPHOS genes in both intestinal regions of cirrhosis patients compared to controls, with further dysregulation in the decompensated group. We also observed a strong correlation between shifts in gut microbiota composition, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, and OXPHOS activity. Following FMT, patients displayed a significant reduction in OXPHOS gene expression in the duodenum, suggesting that FMT may restore intestinal barrier function and offer a therapeutic avenue to mitigate liver disease progression. The findings indicate that managing intestinal OXPHOS and microbiota through FMT could be relevant in modulating microbially-based therapies.

Project description:Patients with liver cirrhosis may have minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) with cognitive and motor impairments that reduce life quality and span. MHE onset is associated with a shift in peripheral inflammation in which CD4+ lymphocytes play a key role but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to identify in CD4+ lymphocytes from patients with and without MHE: (1) gene expression changes and associated biological pathways using RNA-seq; (2) alterations in miRNA levels using miRNA-seq; (3) miRNAs and transcription factors regulating key mRNAs and (4) signalling pathways contributing to the peripheral inflammation shift associated to MHE onset. Additionally, we recovered T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from RNA-seq dataset to understand the immune status of control patients and cirrhotic patients with or without MHE.

Project description:Cirrhosis, advanced liver disease, affects 2-5 million Americans. While most patients have compensated cirrhosis and may be fairly asymptomatic, many decompensate and experience life-threatening complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, confusion (hepatic encephalopathy), and ascites, reducing life expectancy from 12 to less than 2 years. Among the patients with compensated cirrhosis, identifying patients at high risk of decompensation is critical to optimize care, reduce morbidity and mortality. This is important to preferentially direct them towards specialty care which cannot be provided to all patients with cirrhosis. We used discovery Top-down Proteomics (TDP) to detect differentially expressed proteoforms (DEPs) in the plasma of patients with cirrhosis with the goal to identify candidate biomarkers of disease progression. 663 DEPs were identified across three stages of cirrhosis (compensated, compensated with portal hypertension, and decompensated), of which 115 derived from proteins enriched in the liver at a transcriptional level and discriminated the progressive stages of cirrhosis. Enrichment analyses demonstrated DEPs are involved in numerous metabolic, oxidative, immunological, and hematological processes known to be impacted by cirrhosis progression. We have preliminarily defined the plasma proteoform signatures of cirrhosis patients, setting the stage for ongoing discovery and validation of biomarkers for early diagnosis, risk stratification, and disease monitoring.
