GSE110404 Bone morphogenetic protein 8b (bmp8b) in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (nash), acute hepatic damage and liver regeneration

Contributors : Michele Vacca ; Antonio Vidal-Puig ; Brian Y Lam ; Marcella MaSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusTGF β/BMP family member Bone Morphogenetic Protein 8b (Bmp8b) is upregulated in NASH (Western Diet -WD- Model), acute liver damage (CCl4 model) and by Partial Hepatectomy (PH). Absence of Bmp8b reduces liver inflammation and fibrosis in the NASH model (WD). In the acute (3days) CCl4 model, absence of B mp8b impacts acute inflammatory responses, hepatic stellate cells (HSC) activation, and compensatory hepatocyte proliferation; defective inflammatory pathways and hepatocytes proliferation is also observed in the Partial hepatectomy model. BMP8b is thus a pathophysiologically relevant target to modu late the responses to damage in acute and chronic liver disease.
