Assessment of Aspartate and Bicarbonate Produced From Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate as Markers of Renal Gluconeogenesis

Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

As both a consumer and producer of glucose, the kidney plays a significant role in glucose homeostasis. Measuring renal gluconeogenesis requires invasive techniques, and less invasive methods would allow renal gluconeogenesis to be measured more routinely. ...

Circadian dynamics of RNA localisation in the mammalian liver

Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni

Gene expression in eukaryotes is a complex multi-step process. It starts in the nucleus with transcription, the synthesis of a mRNA copy from a DNA template. While in the nucleus, the RNA transcript is subject to multiple co- and post-transcriptional modif ...

Defined matrices for epithelial organoid culture and disease modelling

Saba Rezakhani

Advances in our understanding of the biology of stem cells and their niches have provided the necessary foundation to create in vitro complex self-organizing three-dimensional (3D) structures called organoids. While organoids represent a highly promising n ...

Emerging functions of the nuclear receptor LRH-1 in liver physiology and pathology

Kristina Schoonjans, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Yu Sun

Nuclear receptors play pleiotropic roles in cell differentiation, development, proliferation, and metabolic processes to govern liver physiology and pathology. The nuclear receptor, liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1, NR5A2), originally identified in the live ...

Transcriptomic analysis across liver diseases reveals disease-modulating activation of constitutive androstane receptor in cholestasis

Kristina Schoonjans, Jian Liu, Bhoomika Mathur

Background & Aims: 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. Methods: We performed high-throughput sequencing of ...

Three dimensional models of tissue fibrosis

Matthias Lütolf, Kristina Schoonjans, Giovanni Sorrentino, Saba Rezakhani, Ece Yildiz

The invention provides a method for obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) cellular model of tissue fibrosis, such as liver fibrosis, comprising culturing epithelial cells in a 3D hydrogel in conditions suitable for a three-dimensional cellular cluster formati ...

Mechano-modulatory synthetic niches for liver organoid derivation

Kristina Schoonjans, Matthias Lütolf, Giovanni Sorrentino, Saba Rezakhani, Ece Yildiz

The recent demonstration that primary cells from the liver can be expanded in vitro as organoids holds enormous promise for regenerative medicine and disease modelling. The use of three-dimensional (3D) cultures based on ill-defined and potentially immunog ...

Genome-Scale Identification of Essential Metabolic Processes for Targeting the Plasmodium Liver Stage

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Vikash Kumar Pandey, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Dominique Soldati-Favre

Plasmodium gene functions in mosquito and liver stages remain poorly characterized due to limitations in the throughput of phenotyping at these stages. To fill this gap, we followed more than 1,300 barcoded P. berghei mutants through the life cycle. We dis ...

A new class of protein biomarkers based on subcellular distribution: application to a mouse liver cancer model

Kristina Schoonjans, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Evan Graehl Williams, Pan Xu, Amir Banaei Esfahani, Chen Li, Ruedi Aebersold

To-date, most proteomic studies aimed at discovering tissue-based cancer biomarkers have compared the quantity of selected proteins between case and control groups. However, proteins generally function in association with other proteins to form modules loc ...

Endogenous nicotinamide riboside metabolism protects against diet-induced liver damage

Carlos Canto Alvarez, Sofia Moco, Joanna Ratajczak, Miriam Valera Alberni

Supplementation with the NAD(+) precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) ameliorates and prevents a broad array of metabolic and aging disorders in mice. However, little is known about the physiological role of endogenous NR metabolism. We have previously show ...

In Vitro Human Liver Model of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis by Coculturing Hepatocytes, Endothelial Cells, and Kupffer Cells

Soufian Lasli

The liver has a complex and unique microenvironment with multiple cell-cell interactions and internal vascular networks. Although nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease with multiple phases, no proper model could ...
