LiSyM Pillar I: Early Metabolic Injury (LiSyM-EMI)

One of the tasks of the healthy liver is to store fat. Yet, at some stage, too much fat makes the liver sick. One critical time point occurs when a healthy fatty liver becomes inflamed and progresses to steatohepatitis, or NASH.
LiSyM-Pillar I will identify what events lead to this transition. Does it occur in all parts of the liver? Which molecules indicate that it is taking place? Can the degeneration be stopped or undone - and if so, how?

Diploid hepatocytes drive physiological liver renewal in adult humans
LiSyM Pillar I: Early Metabolic Injury (LiSyM-EMI)

Abstract (Expand)

Physiological liver cell replacement is central to maintaining the organ’s high metabolic activity, although its characteristics are difficult to study in humans. Using retrospective 14C birth dating … of cells, we report that human hepatocytes show continuous and lifelong turnover, maintaining the liver a young organ (average age < 3 years). Hepatocyte renewal is highly dependent on the ploidy level. Diploid hepatocytes show an seven-fold higher annual exchange rate than polyploid hepatocytes. These observations support the view that physiological liver cell renewal in humans is mainly dependent on diploid hepatocytes, whereas polyploid cells are compromised in their ability to divide. Moreover, cellular transitions between these two subpopulations are limited, with minimal contribution to the respective other ploidy class under homeostatic conditions. With these findings, we present a new integrated model of homeostatic liver cell generation in humans that provides fundamental insights into liver cell turnover dynamics.

Three-dimensional spatially resolved geometrical and functional models of human liver tissue reveal new aspects of NAFLD progression.
LiSyM Pillar I: Early Metabolic Injury (LiSyM-EMI), LiSyM network

Abstract (Expand)

Early disease diagnosis is key to the effective treatment of diseases. Histopathological analysis of human biopsies is the gold standard to diagnose tissue alterations. However, this approach has low … resolution and overlooks 3D (three-dimensional) structural changes resulting from functional alterations. Here, we applied multiphoton imaging, 3D digital reconstructions and computational simulations to generate spatially resolved geometrical and functional models of human liver tissue at different stages of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We identified a set of morphometric cellular and tissue parameters correlated with disease progression, and discover profound topological defects in the 3D bile canalicular (BC) network. Personalized biliary fluid dynamic simulations predicted an increased pericentral biliary pressure and micro-cholestasis, consistent with elevated cholestatic biomarkers in patients' sera. Our spatially resolved models of human liver tissue can contribute to high-definition medicine by identifying quantitative multiparametric cellular and tissue signatures to define disease progression and provide new insights into NAFLD pathophysiology.
