Project description:Older age at the time of infection with hepatitis viruses is associated with an increased risk of liver fibrosis progression, but the mechanisms remain unclear. We hypothesized that the pace of liver fibrosis progression may reflect changes in gene expression within the aging liver. To test this hypothesis, we compared gene expression in liver specimens from 54 adult liver donors, including 36 over 40 years of age, that we defined older and 18 between 18 and 40 years of age that we defined yonger. Microarray was performed using Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2 arrays. Comparison of the genes between older and younger donors identified 13 genes that were differentially expressed with a p-value <0.001.

Project description:Liver cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of decreased life expectancy worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of liver cirrhosis remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis using transcriptome sequencing to explore the genes, pathways, and interactions associated with liver cirrhosis. We performed transcriptome sequencing of blood samples from patients with cirrhosis and healthy controls (1:1 matched for sex and age). For transcriptome analysis, we screened for differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs, analyzed mRNAs to identify possible core genes and pathways, and performed co-analysis of miRNA and mRNA sequencing results. And we validated differentially expressed microRNA (miRNA) and mRNAs using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Using a systems biology framework, We identified miRNAs and mRNAs that were differentially expressed in the blood of cirrhotic patients and healthy controls. And explored associated pathways as well as disease-specific networks.

Project description:Gene-expression profiles of hepatitis C-related, early-stage liver cirrhosis Background & Aims: Liver cirrhosis affects 1%M-bM-^HM-^R2% of population and is the major risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hepatitis C cirrhosis-related HCC is the most rapidly increasing cause of cancer death in the US. Non-invasive methods have been developed to identify patients with asymptomatic, early-stage cirrhosis, increasing the burden of HCC surveillance, but biomarkers are needed to identify patients with cirrhosis who are most in need of surveillance. We investigated whether a liver-derived 186-gene signature previously associated with outcomes of patients with HCC is prognostic for patients newly diagnosed with cirrhosis but without HCC. Methods: We performed gene expression profile analysis of formalin-fixed needle biopsies from the livers of 216 patients with hepatitis C-related early-stage (Child-Pugh class A) cirrhosis who were prospectively followed for a median of 10 years at an Italian center. We evaluated whether the 186-gene signature was associated with death, progression of cirrhosis, and development of HCC. Results: Fifty-five (25%), 101 (47%), and 60 (28%) patients were classified as having poor-, intermediate-, and good-prognosis signatures, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression modeling, the poor-prognosis signature was significantly associated with death (P=.004), progression to advanced cirrhosis (P<.001), and development of HCC (P=.009). The 10-year rates of survival were 63%, 74%, and 85% and the annual incidences of HCC were 5.8%, 2.2%, and 1.5% for patients with poor-, intermediate-, and good-prognosis signatures, respectively. Conclusions: A 186-gene signature used to predict outcomes of patients with HCC is also associated with outcomes of patients with hepatitis C-related early-stage cirrhosis. This signature might be used to identify patients with cirrhosis in most need of surveillance and strategies to prevent their development of HCC. 216 liver biopsy specimens

Project description:Background and aims: Patients with decompensated cirrhosis present serious infections of bacterial origin. During homeostasis, resident macrophages from the liver or Kupffer cells (KCS) play a key role in the phagocytosis of circulating bacteria. The objective of this study was to characterize the transcripomic and functional profile of KCs in liver cirrhosis and its relationship with the risk of infections. Methods: KCs were isolated from livers of patients with cirrhosis (n = 4) and controls (n = 5) and the profile was determined by RNA sequencing. The phenotype and altered molecular pathways of the isolated KCS were analyzed through GSEA . Results: The expression profile of KCs is specific and different depending on whether they reside in a cirrhotic or control liver. The GO analysis revealed that the pathways differentially expressed in KCs isolated from cirrhotic liver are implicated in the immune response. The GSEA showed that KCs isolated from patients with cirrhosis present a greater overexpression of M1 markers with respect to M2 (normalized enrichment score, NES: 1.68, p <0.01 vs. NES: 0.8, p <0.01). Conclusion: The KCS of patients with cirrhosis have a unique and distinct gene expression profile characterized by up-regulation of M1 markers.

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.
