Although major genetic networks controlling early liver specification and morphogenesis are known, the mechanisms responsible for postnatal hepatic maturation poorly understood. Here we employ global analyses of mouse transcriptome to demonstrate that remodelling is accompanied by large-scale transcriptional post-transcriptional transitions cell-type-specific temporally coordinated. Combining detailed expression with gain- loss-of-function studies, identify epithelial splicing regulatory...

Abstract Regulation of RNA processing contributes profoundly to tissue development and physiology. Here, we report that serine-arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) is essential for hepatocyte function survival. Although SRSF1 mainly known its many roles in mRNA metabolism, it also crucial maintaining genome stability. We show acute liver damage the setting targeted deletion mice associated with excessive formation deleterious RNA–DNA hybrids (R-loops), which induce DNA damage. Combining...

Hepatocyte polyploidy and maturity are critical to acquiring specialized liver functions. Multiple intracellular extracellular factors influence ploidy, but how they cooperate temporally steer polyploidization maturation or post-transcriptional mechanisms integrate into these paradigms is unknown. Here, we identified an important regulatory hierarchy in which postnatal activation of epithelial splicing protein 2 (ESRP2) stimulates processing liver-specific microRNA ( miR-122 ) facilitate...

Abstract Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy of the liver that predominantly affects adolescents young adults. These tumors are distinct from conventional hepatocellular carcinomas characterized histologically by thick fibrous collagen bands. The transcriptome FLC recurrent oncogenic fusion between DNAJB1 PRKACA. Liver resection potentially curative treatment option for early-stage FLC, but there no standard systemic therapies available advanced FLC. Most...

Binding of the thiazolidinedione antidiabetic drug pioglitazone led to discovery a novel outer mitochondrial membrane protein unknown function called mitoNEET. The is homodimeric and contains uniquely ligated two iron–two sulfur cluster in each its cytosolic domains. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was employed characterize solutions soluble domain (amino acids 32–108) protein. Ions characteristic dimers containing cofactors were readily detected under native conditions. mitoNEET...

Cellular quiescence and cell cycle reentry regulate vital biological processes such as cellular development tissue homeostasis are controlled by precise regulation of gene expression. The roles long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during these remain to be elucidated. By performing genome-wide transcriptome analyses, we identify differential expression several hundreds lncRNAs, including a significant number the less-characterized class microRNA-host-gene ( MIRHG ) lncRNAs or lnc- MIRHGs , in human...

Liver diseases are caused by many factors, such as genetics, nutrition, and viruses. Therefore, it is important to delineate transcriptomic changes that occur in various liver diseases.We performed high-throughput sequencing of mouse livers with diverse types injuries, including cholestasis, diet-induced steatosis, partial hepatectomy. Comparative analysis transcriptome from mice human samples viral infections (HBV HCV), alcoholic hepatitis (AH), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), biliary...

Abstract In the present study, we perform an association analysis focusing on expression changes of 1344 RNA Binding proteins (RBPs) as a function age and gender in human liver. We identify 88 45 RBPs to be significantly associated with respectively. Experimental verification several predicted associations mice confirmed our findings. Our results suggest that small fraction gender-associated (~40%) are expressed higher males than females. Altogether, these observations show important...

Previous studies have linked persistent elevations in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like factor-1 (IGF-1) to cardiac abnormalities including aortic root dilation. Guidelines the management of this dilation below size recommended for surgery not been well defined but follow-up intervention when appropriate could be life-saving. We report case a man his 60s who had living with undiagnosed acromegaly many years. His initial assessment through point-of-care ultrasound raised concerns about...
