Abstrakt: | Background and Aims: Fibrosis is the common end point for all forms of chronic liver injury, and the progression of fibrosis leads to the development of end-stage liver disease. Activation of HSCs and their transdifferentiation into myofibroblasts results in the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins that form the fibrotic scar. Long noncoding RNAs regulate the activity of HSCs and provide targets for fibrotic therapies. Approach and Results: We identified long noncoding RNA TILAM located near COL1A1 , expressed in HSCs, and induced with liver fibrosis in humans and mice. Loss-of-function studies in human HSCs and human liver organoids revealed that TILAM regulates the expression of COL1A1 and other extracellular matrix genes. To determine the role of TILAM in vivo, we annotated the mouse ortholog ( Tilam ), generated Tilam- deficient green fluorescent protein-reporter mice, and challenged these mice in 2 different models of liver fibrosis. Single-cell data and analysis of single-data and analysis of Tilam-deficient reporter mice revealed that Tilam is induced in murine HSCs with the development of fibrosis in vivo. Tilam -deficient reporter mice revealed that Tilam is induced in murine HSCs with the development of fibrosis in vivo. Furthermore, loss of Tilam expression attenuated the development of fibrosis in the setting of in vivo liver injury. Finally, we found that TILAM interacts with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear body scaffold protein to regulate a feedback loop by which TGF-β2 reinforces TILAM expression and nuclear localization of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear body scaffold protein to promote the fibrotic activity of HSCs. Conclusions: TILAM is activated in HSCs with liver injury and interacts with promyelocytic leukemia nuclear body scaffold protein to drive the development of fibrosis. Depletion of TILAM may serve as a therapeutic approach to combat the development of end-stage liver disease. (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.) |
