Several studies suggested that alcohol promotes tumor growth by altering immune cell phenotypes in the liver. Arginine methylation is a common posttranslational modification generated mostly by a single protein, PRMT1. In myeloid cells PRMT1 is a key regulator of immune response. Myeloid-specific PRMT1 knockout mice are hyperresponsive to LPS and deficient in PPARγ-dependent macrophage M2 polarization. We aimed to define the role of myeloid PRMT1 in alcohol-associated liver tumor progression using a mouse model of DEN injection followed by Lieber-DeCarli alcohol liquid diet feeding. We found that PRMT1 knockout mice showed significantly lower expression of IL-10 and IL-6 cytokines in the liver and downstream STAT3 activation, which correlated with reduced number of surface tumors, reduced proliferation, and reduced number of M2 macrophages in the liver as well as within proliferating nodules. We found that blocking IL-6 signaling in alcohol-fed mice reduced the number of tumors and liver proliferation in wild-type mice but not in knockout mice suggesting that reduced IL-6 in PRMT1 knockout mice contributes to the protection from alcohol. Additionally, PRMT1 knockout did not show any protection in tumor formation in the absence of alcohol. Finally, we confirmed that this mechanism is relevant in humans. We found that PRMT1 expression in tumor-associated macrophages correlated with STAT3 activation in human HCC specimens.

Following subtle changes in gene expression at the earliest PN time point, there were marked changes that occurred between 4 and 12 h after birth. These reflected changes in multiple metabolic pathways, with expression of enzymes involved in glycolysis and cholesterol synthesis showing the greatest change. Over 50% of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes changed in the first 7 days of PN life, with 25% changing within the first 24 h. We also observed changes coinciding with a transient period of synchronous hepatocyte proliferation that we had observed previously, which occurs during the first PN week.

Understanding the phenotypes of different inbred mouse strains facilitates informed decision making during experimental design. Model systems influenced by strain-dependent phenotype include tissue regeneration, drug-induced liver injury (DILI; e.g., acetaminophen), fibrosis (e.g., carbon tetrachloride, CCl₄), Fas-induced apoptosis, cholestasis, alcohol-induced liver disease and cirrhosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thoughtful consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of each inbred strain in a given model system will lead to more robust data and a clearer understanding of translational relevance to human liver disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":12502,"journal":{"name":"Gene expression","volume":"19 1","pages":"61-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3727/105221618X15337408678723","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36385453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
