    Abstract Hepatic zonation is critical for most metabolic functions in liver. Wnt signaling plays an important role in establishing and maintaining liver zonation. Yet, the anatomic expression of Wnt signaling components, especially all 10 Frizzled (Fzd) receptors, has not been characterized in adult liver. To address this, the spatial expression of Fzd receptors was quantitatively mapped in adult mouse liver via multiplex fluorescent in situ hybridization. Although all 10 Fzd receptors were expressed within a metabolic unit, Fzd receptors 1, 4, and 6 were the highest expressed. Although most Wnt signaling occurs in zone 3, expression of most Fzd receptors was not zonated. In contrast, Fzd receptor 6 was preferentially expressed in zone 1. Wnt2 and Wnt9b expression was highly zonated and primarily found in zone 3. Therefore, the current results suggest that zonated Wnt/β-catenin signaling at baseline occurs primarily due to Wnt2 and Wnt9b rather than zonation of Fzd mRNA expression. Finally, the study showed that Fzd receptors and Wnts are not uniformly expressed by all hepatic cell types. Instead, there is broad distribution among both hepatocytes and nonparenchymal cells, including endothelial cells. Overall, this establishment of a definitive mRNA expression atlas, especially of Fzd receptors, opens the door to future functional characterization in healthy and diseased liver states.

    Abstract Platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-α plays roles in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation; however, its function in chronic liver injury sequelae, such as fibrosis, is unknown. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the primary mediators of fibrosis, undergo activation, which entails differentiation to myofibroblasts, proliferation, migration, and collagen deposition, partially in response to PDGFs. To examine the role of PDGFR-α in HSCs, Lrat-Cre recombinase and Pdgfra-floxed mice were bred to generate Lrat-CrePdgfra-/- (knockout) animals, which were subjected to chronic liver injury through carbon tetrachloride treatment, bile duct ligation, and 0.1% 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine. Although no major difference was observed after other types of liver injury, PDGFR-α loss in HSCs led to a significant albeit transient reduction in fibrosis after carbon tetrachloride injury, associated with increased HSC death and reduced migration. There was continued alleviation of hepatocellular injury in knockout mice despite ongoing carbon tetrachloride insult, associated with increased numbers of CD68 and F480 macrophages and increased clearance of damaged hepatocytes. Altogether our findings support a profibrotic role of PDGFR-α in HSCs during chronic liver injury in vivo via regulation of HSC survival and migration and affect the immune microenvironment, especially macrophages in clearing dying hepatocytes. Thus, our study provides a preclinical foundation for the future testing of therapeutic PDGFR-α inhibition in hepatic fibrosis, especially in combination with other therapies.

    Abstract We previously identified an up-regulation of specific Wnt proteins in the cholangiocyte compartment during cholestatic liver injury and found that mice lacking Wnt secretion from hepatocytes and cholangiocytes showed fewer proliferating cholangiocytes and high mortality in response to a 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) diet, a murine model of primary sclerosing cholangitis. In vitro studies demonstrated that Wnt7b, one of the Wnts up-regulated during cholestasis, induces proliferation of cholangiocytes in an autocrine manner and increases secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that loss of Wnt7b may exacerbate some of the complications of cholangiopathies by decreasing the ability of bile ducts to induce repair. Wnt7b-flox mice were bred with Krt19-cre mice to deplete Wnt7b expression in only cholangiocytes (CC) or with albumin-Cre mice to delete Wnt7b expression in both hepatocytes and cholangiocytes (HC + CC). These mice were placed on a DDC diet for 1 month then killed for evaluation. Contrary to our expectations, we found that mice lacking Wnt7b from CC and HC + CC compartments had improved biliary injury, decreased cellular senescence, and lesser bile acid accumulation after DDC exposure compared to controls, along with decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines. Although Wnt7b knockout (KO) resulted in fewer proliferating cholangiocytes, CC and HC + CC KO mice on a DDC diet also had more hepatocytes expressing cholangiocyte markers compared to wild-type mice on a DDC diet, indicating that Wnt7b suppression promotes hepatocyte reprogramming. Conclusion: Wnt7b induces a proproliferative proinflammatory program in cholangiocytes, and its loss is compensated for by conversion of hepatocytes to a biliary phenotype during cholestatic injury.

    Abstract Glioma is one of the most common primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system accounting for approximately 40% of all intracranial tumors. Temozolomide is a conventional chemotherapy drug for adjuvant treatment of patients with high-risk gliomas, including grade II to grade IV.
