Identification of a Common Ketohexokinase-Dependent Link Driving Alcohol Intake and Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease in Mice
[Nature Metabolism] The authors investigated whether alcohol preference and alcohol-associated liver disease are mediated through fructose metabolism by ketohexokinase-A/C.
Regenerating Liver Uses Ammonia to Support De Novo Pyrimidine Synthesis and Cell Proliferation
[Nature Communications] Scientists found that suppression of de novo pyrimidine synthesis prevents proliferation in regenerating liver, suppressing liver regrowth.
Inhibition of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation Alleviated Liver Injury and Wasting Effect in Tumor-Bearing Mice
[Scientific Reports] RNA-seq data from the liver of Colon26 tumor-bearing mice were used to perform pathway enrichment analysis.
YTHDF1 Mediates KLF2/VSIG4 Axis to Regulate Kupffer Cell Polarization to Alleviate Sepsis-Induced Liver Injury
[Genes & Immunity] The effect of YTH domain N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F1 (YTHDF1) on Kupffer cell polarization in sepsis was evaluated.
METTL5 Promotes Fatty Acid Metabolism by Modulating Peroxisome to Promote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence after Thermal Ablation
[Molecular Therapy] Researchers found that the levels of methyltransferase 5 (METTL5) and 18S rRNA m6A modification were significantly upregulated in post-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) recurrent HCC and were further verified by insufficient RFA models in vitro and in vivo.
Targeting MORF4L1-Mediated DNA Repair Potentiates RT-Induced Antitumor Immunity via cGAS-STING Activation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analyses identified the DNA damage repair gene mortality factor 4-like 1 (MORF4L1) as a critical regulator of hepatocellular carcinoma progression and resistance to radiotherapy.
Diclofenac and Acetaminophen Dim the Acute-Phase Response but Amplify Expression of the Iron Regulator Hepcidin in Liver Cancer Cells
[Cell Systems] Using proteomics and dynamic pathway modeling, investigators showed that diclofenac and acetaminophen directly impact IL-6 signaling by enhancing the induction of the feedback-inhibitor suppressor of cytokine signaling 3.
Hypoxia-Mediated m6a Modulation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Review
[Journal of Translational Medicine] Investigators systematically elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which hypoxia-inducible factor and key m6A-modifying enzymes jointly regulate HCC progression within the hypoxic microenvironment.
Mursla Bio Collaborates with a Leading Global Pharma Company to Advance Biomarker-Guided Precision Medicine in MASH
[Mursla Bio] Mursla Bio announced a collaboration with a leading global pharmaceutical company recognized for its expertise in precision medicine and biomarker-guided drug development.
IL27RA Promotes the Proliferation and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells by Regulating TGFβR1
[] Scientists revealed that IL27RA is significantly upregulated in HCC. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that IL27RA knockdown markedly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells.
MEF2D-Expressing Cancer Precursors Reprogram Tissue-Resident Macrophages to Support Liver Tumorigenesis
[Nature Cancer] The authors showed that elevated myocyte enhancer factor 2D (MEF2D)-expressing cancer precursors reprogram liver-resident macrophages, Kupffer cells, to create a growth-supportive environment.
Identification of an Effective Treatment for Liver Fibrosis Based on a Long Acting Easy to Deliver TNF-α-derived Peptide
[Pharmacological Research] The authors designed a tridomain Z-IgBD-P16, by sequentially fusing a platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ)-specific affibody ZPDGFRβ and two repeats of IgG-binding domain (IgBD) to the N-terminus of P16.
