Project description:To investigate the differential gene expression of m6A RNA methylation in cholestatic liver fibrosis, we extablished a mouse model of liver fibrosis by common bile duct ligation.
Project description:Decreased bile secretion in rodents by either ligation of the common bile duct or induction of cirrhosis causes changes in the small intestine, including bacterial overgrowth and translocation across the mucosal barrier. Oral administration of bile acids inhibits these effects. The genes regulated by FXR in ileum suggested that it might contribute to the enteroprotective actions of bile acids. To test this hypothesis, mice were administered either GW4064 or vehicle for 2 days and then subjected to bile duct ligation (BDL) or sham operation. After 5 days, during which GW4064 or vehicle treatment was continued, the mice were killed and their intestines were analyzed for FXR target gene expression. Mice were treated with or without FXR ligand GW4064 for 2 days prior to bile duct ligation surgery and for 5 days after surgery. After 5 days the mice were sacrificed and the ileum collected and processed for gene expression analysis. Gene expression in the ilium from each sample group was assayed in duplicate using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Gene Chips.
