    Abstract Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are inherited genetic disorders characterized by progressive development of intrahepatic, fluid-filled biliary cysts (more than ten), which constitute the main cause of morbidity and markedly affect the quality of life. Liver cysts arise in patients with autosomal dominant PLD (ADPLD) or in co-occurrence with renal cysts in patients with autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD and ARPKD, respectively). Hepatic cystogenesis is a heterogeneous process, with several risk factors increasing the odds of developing larger cysts. Depending on the causative gene, PLDs can arise exclusively in the liver or in parallel with renal cysts. Current therapeutic strategies, mainly based on surgical procedures and/or chronic administration of somatostatin analogues, show modest benefits, with liver transplantation as the only potentially curative option. Increasing research has shed light on the genetic landscape of PLDs and consequent cholangiocyte abnormalities, which can pave the way for discovering new targets for therapy and the design of novel potential treatments for patients. Herein, we provide a critical and comprehensive overview of the latest advances in the field of PLDs, mainly focusing on genetics, pathobiology, risk factors and next-generation therapeutic strategies, highlighting future directions in basic, translational and clinical research.

    Abstract Cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells lining intrahepatic bile ducts, are ciliated cells. Each cholangiocyte has a primary cilium consisting of (i) a microtubule-based axoneme and (ii) the basal body, centriole-derived, microtubule-organizing center from which the axoneme emerges. Primary cilia in cholangiocytes were described decades ago, but their physiological and pathophysiological significance remained unclear until recently. We now recognize that cholangiocyte cilia extend from the apical plasma membrane into the bile duct lumen and, as such, are ideally positioned to detect changes in bile flow, bile composition and bile osmolality. These sensory organelles act as cellular antennae that can detect and transmit signals that influence cholangiocyte function. Indeed, recent data show that cholangiocyte primary cilia can activate intracellular signaling pathways when they sense modifications in the flow, molecular constituents and osmolarity of bile. Their ability to sense and transmit signals depends on the participation of a growing number of specific ciliary-associated proteins that act as receptors, channels and transporters. Cholangiocyte cilia, in addition to being important in normal biliary physiology, likely contribute to the cholangiopathies when their normal structure or function is disturbed. Indeed, the polycystic liver diseases that occur in combination with autosomal dominant and recessive polycystic kidney disease (i.e. ADPKD and ARPKD) are two important examples of such conditions. Recent insights into the role of cholangiocyte cilia in cystic liver disease using in vitro and animal models have already resulted in clinical trials that have influenced the management of cystic liver disease.

    Abstract Exosomes are small (30-100 nm in diameter) extracellular membrane-enclosed vesicles released by different cell types into the extracellular space or into biological fluids by exocytosis as a result of fusion of intracellular multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane. The primary function of exosomes is intercellular communication with both beneficial (physiological) and harmful (pathological) potential outcomes. Liver cells are exosome-releasing cells as well as targets for endogenous exosomes and exosomes derived from cells of other organs. Despite limited studies on liver exosomes, initial observations suggest that these vesicles are important in liver physiology and pathophysiology. In this review, we briefly summarize the recent findings on liver exosomes, their functions and significance for novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Cholangiocytes are increasingly recognized as biologically important epithelia because of the diverse array of cellular processes in which they participate. Collectively, these processes define normal function and, when disturbed, account for abnormalities that cause disease. Advances in animal models and sophisticated technology in imaging and gene silencing have led to substantial progress in defining the roles that cholangiocytes play in signaling, transport of water, ions and solutes, and alterations that result in cholestasis. The pace of advances in technology justifies a yearly summary to identify trends, and inform the readership of the most significant developments in cholangiocyte biology.
    Recent findings: The main areas of recent progress include insights into the molecular mechanisms of bile secretion and the development of new experimental models and technologies. Major advances have also included the identification of novel roles for receptors and better understanding of mechanistic pathways and biologic processes.
    Summary: Understanding the key mechanistic and biologic processes in cholangiocytes is required to generate hypotheses and therapies relevant to disease. This compendium of current activities in cholangiocyte biology may promote collegial sharing and exchange of novel concepts, ideas, reagents and probes, thereby promoting positive advances in the field.

    Abstract Due in part to the recent development of new experimental models, cholangiocytes--the epithelial cells that line the bile ducts--are increasingly recognized as important transporting epithelia actively involved in the absorption and secretion of water, ions, and solutes. New biologic concepts have emerged including the identification and topography of receptors and flux proteins involved in the molecular mechanisms of ductal bile secretion. Individually isolated or perfused bile duct units from livers of rats and mice serve as new, physiologically relevant in vitro models to study cholangiocyte transport. Biliary tree dimensions and novel insights into anatomic remodeling of proliferating bile ducts have emerged from three-dimensional reconstruction using computed tomographic scanning and sophisticated software. Moreover, new pathologic concepts have arisen regarding the interaction of cholangiocytes with pathogens. These concepts may provide the framework for new therapies for the cholangiopathies, a group of important hepatobiliary diseases in which cholangiocytes are the target cell.

    Abstract Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a member of the cholangiopathies, a group of liver diseases in which cholangiocytes, the epithelia lining of the biliary tree, are the target cells. PLDs are caused by mutations in genes involved in intracellular signaling pathways, cell cycle regulation, and ciliogenesis, among others. We previously showed that cystic cholangiocytes have abnormal cell cycle profiles and malfunctioning cilia. Because histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) plays an important role in both cell cycle regulation and ciliary disassembly, we examined the role of HDAC6 in hepatic cystogenesis. HDAC6 protein was increased sixfold in cystic liver tissue and in cultured cholangiocytes isolated from both PCK rats (an animal model of PLD) and humans with PLD. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 by Tubastatin-A, Tubacin, and ACY-1215 decreased proliferation of cystic cholangiocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and inhibited cyst growth in three-dimensional cultures. Importantly, ACY-1215 administered to PCK rats diminished liver cyst development and fibrosis. In summary, we show that HDAC6 is overexpressed in cystic cholangiocytes both in vitro and in vivo, and its pharmacological inhibition reduces cholangiocyte proliferation and cyst growth. These data suggest that HDAC6 may represent a potential novel therapeutic target for cases of PLD.
