Hepatic repair is directed chiefly by the proliferation of resident mature epithelial cells. Further if predominant injury is to cholangiocytes, the hepatocytes can transdifferentiate to cholangiocytes to assist in the repair and vice versa as shown by various fate-tracing studies. However, the molecular bases of reprograming remain elusive. Using two models of biliary injury where repair occurs via cholangiocyte proliferation and hepatocyte transdifferentiation to cholangiocytes, we identify an important role of Wnt signaling. First we identify upregulation of specific Wnt proteins in the cholangiocytes. Next, using conditional knockouts of Wntless and Wnt co-receptors LRP5/6, transgenic mice expressing stable β-catenin, and in vitro studies, we show a role of Wnt signaling through β-catenin in hepatocyte to biliary transdifferentiation. Lastly, we show that specific Wnts regulate cholangiocyte proliferation but in a β-catenin-independent manner. Conclusion: Wnt signaling regulates hepatobiliary repair after cholestatic injury in both β-catenin dependent and independent manners.
