Project description:The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, with the best experimental model for regeneration being partial hepatectomy (PHx), in which up to two-thirds of the liver may be removed, and the residual lobes enlarge to make up for the missing mass in a few days’ time. Liver regeneration has been extensively studied, mainly in rodent models, and characterized in terms of transcriptional regulation of gene expression. However, little is known regarding regulation of gene expression in a human model of regeneration following PHx. We used microarrays to follow gene expression changes shortly following PHx. Experiment Overall Design: Liver tissues were collected from patients undergoing a PHx surgery (1.5, 42 and 81 years) under an IRB approval, at the onset (T0) and shortly after PHx (0.5hr, 1hr and 1.5hrs) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:This study was carried out to investigate the mechanism behind the enhanced liver regenerative response observed in Uhrf1hepKO mice. Livers was collected at baseline and at 24hrs, 30hrs, 40hrs, 48hrs, 96hrs, 7days and 4 weeks following 2/3 partial hepatectomy surgery (PHx). These timepoints correspond to key cell cycle events that occur following PHx as established in literature.

Project description:To identify differential genes after partial hepatectomy, we performed gene chip analysis of livers from wild type (WT) mouse and PHx 36h mouse livers To find differential genes regulated by lncHand2, we performed gene chip analysis from WT and lncHand2 deficiency livers.
Project description:To investigate how liver macrophages regulate liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, we isolate the macrophages 0, 24, and 48h after partial hepatectomy(PHx). We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of liver macrophages 0,24,48h after partial hepatectomy.
Project description:miRNA expression was profiled before and during liver regeneration following 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PHx) in chronic ethanol-fed (EtOH) and pair-fed carbohydrate control (CHO) rats. Prior to PHx, EtOH animals were fed a liquid diet containing 36% of the calories from ethanol for 5 weeks. Left lateral and medial (LLM) lobes were removed at time of PHx and used as t = 0 biological controls. Remnant liver tissue (PHx) was harvested 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after PHx. RNA from 4 biological replicates was pooled for profiling miRNA expression on Agilent Rat miRNA Microarrays v1.0. miRNA expression was profiled in the chronic ethanol-fed (EtOH) and carbohydrate control pair-fed (CHO) liver prior to (LLM) and 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after partial hepatectomy (PHx).
Project description:Here, we report the gene expression changes that occur in the mouse liver and quadricep, 3 days following 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) in mice.
Project description:Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) remains a significant risk for patients undergoing partial hepatectomy (PHx). Reliable prognostic markers and treatments to enhance liver regeneration are lacking. Plasma nanoparticles, including lipoproteins, exosomes, and extracellular vesicles (EVs), can reflect systemic and tissue-wide proteostasis and stress, potentially aiding liver regeneration. Our study included nine patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing PHx. Patient plasma was collected before PHx as well as 1 and 5 days after and the EV-protein repertoire was analysed by quantitative mass spectrometry using a super-SILAC mix prepared from primary and cancer cell lines. This longitudinal proteomic analysis of the EVs circulating in the plasma of human patients undergoing PHx uncovers proteomic signatures associated with PHLF, which reflect dying hepatocytes and endothelial cells and were already present before PHx.
Project description:We performed single-cell RNAseq and bulk RNAseq analysis to investigate the function of CD133 and a new mechanism of intercellular comminication for cell proliferation, in mouse liver, following partial hepatectomy (PHx).
Project description:Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (275-350 g) were anesthetized and subjected to two-thirds PHx. Liver sections removed by partial hepatectomy (PHx) were collected and used both as controls (time=0) and as individual reference material for each animal to reduce the error introduced by animal-to-animal variability. At 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours following PHx, rats were killed and liver samples were harvested. Keywords: Time series PHx (1, 2, 4, 6h)
