Abstract Cholangiocytes are epithelial cells that line the intra‐ and extrahepatic ducts of the biliary tree. The main physiologic function of cholangiocytes is modification of hepatocyte‐derived bile, an intricate process regulated by hormones, peptides, nucleotides, neurotransmitters, and other molecules through intracellular signaling pathways and cascades. The mechanisms and regulation of bile modification are reviewed herein. © 2013 American Physiological Society. Compr Physiol 3:541‐565, 2013.

Abstract Backgrounds and Aims Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is characterized by defective cholangiocyte cilia that regulate progressive growth of hepatic cysts. Because formation of primary cilia is influenced by autophagy through degradation of proteins involved in ciliogenesis, we hypothesized that ciliary defects in PLD cholangiocytes (PLDCs) originate from autophagy‐mediated depletion of ciliogenic proteins ADP‐ribosylation factor‐like protein 3 (ARL3) and ADP‐ribosylation factor‐like protein 13B (ARL13B) and ARL‐dependent mislocation of a ciliary‐localized bile acid receptor, Takeda G‐protein‐coupled receptor 5 (TGR5), the activation of which enhances hepatic cystogenesis (HCG). The aims here were to determine whether: (1) ciliogenesis is impaired in PLDC, is associated with increased autophagy, and involves autophagy‐mediated depletion of ARL3 and ARL13B; (2) depletion of ARL3 and ARL13B in PLDC cilia impacts ciliary localization of TGR5; and (3) pharmacological inhibition of autophagy re‐establishes cholangiocyte cilia and ciliary localization of ARL3, ARL3B, and TGR5 and reduces HCG. Approach and Results By using liver tissue from healthy persons and patients with PLD, in vitro and in vivo models of PLD, and in vitro models of ciliogenesis, we demonstrated that, in PLDCs: ciliogenesis is impaired; autophagy is enhanced; ARL3 and ARL13B are ubiquitinated by HDAC6, depleted in cilia, and present in autophagosomes; depletion of ARL3 and ARL13B impacts ciliary localization of TGR5; and pharmacological inhibition of autophagy with mefloquine and verteporfin re‐establishes cholangiocyte cilia and ciliary localization of ARL3, ARL13B, and TGR5 and reduces HCG. Conclusions The intersection between autophagy, defective cholangiocyte cilia, and enhanced HCG contributes to PLD progression and can be considered a target for therapeutic interventions.

Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive development of cholangiocyte-derived fluid-filled hepatic cysts. PLD is the most common manifestation of autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney diseases and rarely occurs as autosomal dominant PLD. The mechanisms of PLD are a sequence of the primary (mutations in PLD-causative genes), secondary (initiation of cyst formation), and tertiary (progression of hepatic cystogenesis) interconnected molecular and cellular events in cholangiocytes. Nonsurgical, surgical, and limited pharmacological treatment options are currently available for clinical management of PLD. Substantial evidence suggests that pharmacological targeting of the signaling pathways and intracellular processes involved in the progression of hepatic cystogenesis is beneficial for PLD. Many of these targets have been evaluated in preclinical and clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of PLD and clinical and preclinical treatment strategies.

Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a group of genetic disorders with limited treatment options and significant morbidity. Hepatic cysts arise from cholangiocytes exhibiting a hyperproliferative phenotype. Considering that hyperproliferation of many cell types is associated with alterations in autophagy, we hypothesized that autophagy is altered in PLD cholangiocytes, contributes to hepatic cystogenesis, and might represent a potential therapeutic target. We employed functional pathway cluster analysis and next‐generation sequencing, transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, and western blotting to assess autophagy in human and rodent PLD cholangiocytes. A three‐dimensional culture model was used to study the effects of molecular and pharmacologic inhibition of autophagy on hepatic cystogenesis in vitro , and the polycystic kidney disease–specific rat, an animal model of PLD, to study the effects of hydroxychloroquine, a drug that interferes with the autophagy pathway, on disease progression in vivo . Assessment of the transcriptome of PLD cholangiocytes followed by functional pathway cluster analysis revealed that the autophagy–lysosomal pathway is one of the most altered pathways in PLD. Direct evaluation of autophagy in PLD cholangiocytes both in vitro and in vivo showed increased number and size of autophagosomes, lysosomes, and autolysosomes; overexpression of autophagy‐related proteins (Atg5, Beclin1, Atg7, and LC3); and enhanced autophagic flux associated with activation of the cAMP–protein kinase A–cAMP response element–binding protein signaling pathway. Molecular and pharmacologic intervention in autophagy with ATG7 small interfering RNA, bafilomycin A 1 , and hydroxychloroquine reduced proliferation of PLD cholangiocytes in vitro and growth of hepatic cysts in three‐dimensional cultures. Hydroxychloroquine also efficiently inhibited hepatic cystogenesis in the polycystic kidney disease–specific rat. Conclusion: Autophagy is increased in PLD cholangiocytes, contributes to hepatic cystogenesis, and represents a potential therapeutic target for disease treatment. (H epatology 2018;67:1088–1108)

Hepatic cystogenesis in polycystic liver disease is associated with increased levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cholangiocytes lining liver cysts. Takeda G protein receptor 5 (TGR5), a G protein–coupled bile acid receptor, is linked to cAMP and expressed in cholangiocytes. Therefore, we hypothesized that TGR5 might contribute to disease progression. We examined expression of TGR5 and Gα proteins in cultured cholangiocytes and in livers of animal models and humans with polycystic liver disease. In vitro, we assessed cholangiocyte proliferation, cAMP levels, and cyst growth in response to (1) TGR5 agonists (taurolithocholic acid, oleanolic acid [OA], and two synthetic compounds), (2) a novel TGR5 antagonist (m‐tolyl 5‐chloro‐2‐[ethylsulfonyl] pyrimidine‐4‐carboxylate [SBI‐115]), and (3) a combination of SBI‐115 and pasireotide, a somatostatin receptor analogue. In vivo, we examined hepatic cystogenesis in OA‐treated polycystic kidney rats and after genetic elimination of TGR5 in double mutant TGR5−/− ;Pkhd1del2/del2 mice. Compared to control, expression of TGR5 and Gαs (but not Gαi and Gαq) proteins was increased 2‐fold to 3‐fold in cystic cholangiocytes in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, TGR5 stimulation enhanced cAMP production, cell proliferation, and cyst growth by ∼40%; these effects were abolished after TGR5 reduction by short hairpin RNA. OA increased cystogenesis in polycystic kidney rats by 35%; in contrast, hepatic cystic areas were decreased by 45% in TGR5‐deficient TGR5−/−;Pkhd1del2/del2 mice. TGR5 expression and its colocalization with Gαs were increased ∼2‐fold upon OA treatment. Levels of cAMP, cell proliferation, and cyst growth in vitro were decreased by ∼30% in cystic cholangiocytes after treatment with SBI‐115 alone and by ∼50% when SBI‐115 was combined with pasireotide. Conclusion: TGR5 contributes to hepatic cystogenesis by increasing cAMP and enhancing cholangiocyte proliferation; our data suggest that a TGR5 antagonist alone or concurrently with somatostatin receptor agonists represents a potential therapeutic approach in polycystic liver disease.

TGR5, the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor that transmits bile acid signaling into a cell functional response via the intracellular cAMP signaling pathway, is expressed in human and rodent cholangiocytes. However, detailed information on the localization and function of cholangiocyte TGR5 is limited. We demonstrated that in human (H69 cells) and rat cholangiocytes, TGR5 is localized to multiple, diverse subcellular compartments, with its strongest expression on the apical plasma, ciliary, and nuclear membranes. To evaluate the relationship between ciliary TGR5 and the cholangiocyte functional response to bile acid signaling, we used a model of ciliated and nonciliated H69 cells and demonstrated that TGR5 agonists induce opposite changes in cAMP and ERK levels in cells with and without primary cilia. The cAMP level was increased in nonciliated cholangiocytes but decreased in ciliated cells. In contrast, ERK signaling was induced in ciliated cholangiocytes but suppressed in cells without cilia. TGR5 agonists inhibited proliferation of ciliated cholangiocytes but activated proliferation of nonciliated cells. The observed differential effects of TGR5 agonists were associated with the coupling of TGR5 to Gα i protein in ciliated cells and Gα s protein in nonciliated cholangiocytes. The functional responses of nonciliated and ciliated cholangiocytes to TGR5-mediated bile acid signaling may have important pathophysiological significance in cilia-related liver disorders (i.e., cholangiociliopathies), such as polycystic liver disease. In summary, TGR5 is expressed on diverse cholangiocyte compartments, including a primary cilium, and its ciliary localization determines the cholangiocyte functional response to bile acid signaling.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that are thought to participate in intercellular communication. Recent work from our laboratory suggests that, in normal and cystic liver, exosome-like vesicles accumulate in the lumen of intrahepatic bile ducts, presumably interacting with cholangiocyte cilia. However, direct evidence for exosome-ciliary interaction is limited and the physiological relevance of such interaction remains unknown. Thus, in this study, we tested the hypothesis that biliary exosomes are involved in intercellular communication by interacting with cholangiocyte cilia and inducing intracellular signaling and functional responses. Exosomes were isolated from rat bile by differential ultracentrifugation and characterized by scanning, transmission, and immunoelectron microscopy. The exosome-ciliary interaction and its effects on ERK1/2 signaling, expression of the microRNA, miR-15A, and cholangiocyte proliferation were studied on ciliated and deciliated cultured normal rat cholangiocytes. Our results show that bile contains vesicles identified as exosomes by their size, characteristic “saucer-shaped” morphology, and specific markers, CD63 and Tsg101. When NRCs were exposed to isolated biliary exosomes, the exosomes attached to cilia, inducing a decrease of the phosphorylated-to-total ERK1/2 ratio, an increase of miR-15A expression, and a decrease of cholangiocyte proliferation. All these effects of biliary exosomes were abolished by the pharmacological removal of cholangiocyte cilia. Our findings suggest that bile contains exosomes functioning as signaling nanovesicles and influencing intracellular regulatory mechanisms and cholangiocyte proliferation through interaction with primary cilia.
