Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Metabolomics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Hepatocytes are organized in hepatic lobules with radial blood flow.
  • This creates gradients of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, leading to spatial variability and functional diversity.
  • This heterogeneity impacts gene expression, metabolism, regeneration, and damage susceptibility.

Approach:

  • Review of principles of liver zonation.
  • Introduction to metabolomic approaches for studying liver spatial heterogeneity.
  • Highlighting spatial metabolomics for understanding tissue metabolic organization.

Key Points:

  • Spatial metabolomics reveals intercellular heterogeneity and its role in liver disease.
  • Enables global characterization of liver metabolic function with high spatial resolution.
  • Discusses challenges in achieving single-cell metabolome coverage.

Conclusions:

  • Spatial metabolomics offers a deeper understanding of liver metabolic organization.
  • Facilitates characterization across physiological and pathological timescales.
  • Outlines future developments and applications in liver spatial metabolism research.
