Inhibition of Jagged-mediated Notch signaling disrupts zebrafish biliary development and generates multi-organ defects compatible with an Alagille syndrome phenocopy

TL;DR: Compound jagged and notch gene knockdowns alter zebrafish biliary, kidney, pancreatic, cardiac and craniofacial development in a manner compatible with an AGS phenocopy, confirming an evolutionarily conserved role for Notch signaling in vertebrate liver development, and support the zebra fish as a model system for diseases of the human biliary system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The microRNA-30 family is required for vertebrate hepatobiliary development.

TL;DR: One of these miRNAs, the biliary miRNA miR-30a, is required for biliary development in zebrafish and is the first demonstration of a functional role for miRNA in hepatic organogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence from human and zebrafish that GPC1 is a biliary atresia susceptibility gene.

TL;DR: Based on genetic analysis of patients with BA and zebrafish, GPC1 appears to be a BA susceptibility gene, and these findings support a role for Hedgehog signaling in the pathogenesis of BA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fructose leads to hepatic steatosis in zebrafish that is reversed by mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition

TL;DR: Assessment of the contribution of ER stress, oxidative stress, and Torc1 up‐regulation in the development of steatohepatitis in fructose‐treated larval zebrafish indicates that Torc 1 activation is required for hepatic lipid accumulation across models of NAFLD, and in patients.
