Macrophages play an important role in maintaining liver homeostasis and regeneration. Here we investigate how different macrophage populations of the liver differ in terms of their activation state and which other liver cell populations may play a role in regulating the same.

FAIR principles

Reverse transcription PCR, flow cytometry, transcriptome, proteome, secretome, single cell analysis, and immunohistochemical methods were used to study changes in gene expression as well as the activation state of macrophages in vitro and in vivo under homeostatic conditions and after partial hepatectomy.

The liver comprises the body´s largest pool of macrophages constituting approximately 80 % of all sessile tissue macrophages of the body. After liver damage monocyte-derived macrophages are recruited into the liver and were here affected by a micro milieu which is considerably influenced by hepatocytes. Up to now the complex network that determines the differentiation and function of liver macrophages and the impact of the intercellular communication between macrophages and the other parenchymal ...

We describe a distinct macrophage population, whose presence in the liver during homoeostasis depends on recruitment signals mediated by the chemokine receptor CCR2. The identified polarization state of this population closely resembles that induced in co-culture experiments, where hepatocytes are reducing the availability of TGFb to macrophages. Accordingly, disruption of TGFb signal transduction in macrophages phenocopies the influence of hepatocytes on macrophage polarization.

Transcriptomics: the RNA expression of primary hepatocytes and BMDM (Bone Marrow–Derived acrophages) were analysed in 4 different conditions (mono- vs. co-culture, hepatocytes and macrophages) with 5 replicas each to detect the impact of hepatocytes on macrophages and vice versa.

Hepatocyte-controlled availability of activated TGFb reprograms macrophage polarization affecting liver injury and regeneration.

Samples in SEEK (ArrayExpress-compliant sample type https://seek.lisym.org/sample_types/21)

Hepatocytes and macrophages from mono and co-culture were harvested and prepared for mass spectrometric analysis , samples were shortly separated in a polyacrylamide gel, silver-stained, reduced, alkylated and digested with trypsin.

The model studies the influence of hepatocyte–sinusoid alignment (HSA), i.e. the orientation of the division plane such that daughter hepatocytes align with nearby sinusoids, on the shape of tumor nodules in liver lobules. It employs the structure of the model ‘Liver Regeneration from CCl4’ (https://seek.lisym.org/models/19).

Originally, Höhme et al. (https://doi.org/10.1007/s11538-017-0375-1) employed a center-based model. Here, the model is encoded in the standardized language MorpheusML. ...

In the experimental paradigm of CCl4 intoxication of mice, hepatocytes around the central vein (located in the center of an idealized hexagonal liver lobule) are dying and are subsequently replaced by new hepatocytes, largely through activation of proliferation in the remaining hepatocytes.

Alignment of daughter hepatocytes along the orientation of the closest sinusoid, a process which is named hepatocyte-sinusoid alignment (HSA), was proposed by Höhme et al. (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0909374107) ...

Liver is the major site for glycogen storage. Glycogen content can be significantly altered upon disruption of glucose homeostasis in metabolic syndromes, such as diabetes.

Glycogen content can be determined by an acid-hydrolysis method . Basically, glucose, the hydrolysis product of glycogen, is converted into glucose-6- phosphate (G-6-P) by hexokinase in the presence of ATP.

With the supply of NADP, G-6-P is further converted into 6-phosphogluconic acid by G-6-P dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), while ...

Multicellular simulations have become indispensable in understanding complex biological phenomena, from tissue development to disease progression. The diversity of simulation methods (including cellular Potts, cellular automata, lattice-free, stochastic particle and other methodologies) and the lack of standards for multicellular model specification pose challenges to building reproducible, modular and reusable simulations.

Just over 30 years ago, the cellular Potts model (CPM) was introduced to explain experimental observations of spontaneous cell sorting in embryonic tissue cultures. In the years since, the CPM evolved into a powerful model framework for simulating a wide range of physical and biological processes – from foam physics to tissue development, cancer growth, angiogenesis, plant development, evolution, immune responses, and cell migration. Having just celebrated the 30th birthday of the CPM, now is a ...
