Convergent Somatic Mutations in Metabolism Genes in Chronic Liver Disease

Scientists analyzed somatic mutations from 1,590 genomes across 34 liver samples, including healthy controls, alcohol-related liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Seven of the 29 patients with liver disease had mutations in FOXO1, the major transcription factor in insulin signaling.

Long-Term Maintenance of Functional Primary Human Hepatocytes in 3D Gelatin Matrices Produced by Solution Blow Spinning

The authors reported the successful generation of 3D thermally crosslinked preforms by using solution blow spinning (SBS) from porcine gelatin. They then used SBS mats as culturing substrates for human hepatocytes to create an array of 3D human liver tissue equivalents in 96-well format.

A Modified Animal Model of Hepatic Regeneration Induced by Hilar Bile Duct Ligation

Scientists aimed to establish a new type of rapid liver hyperplasia model induced mainly by bile acid pathway through hepatoenteral circulation with hilar bile duct ligation. Immunohistochemistry results confirmed the proliferation of hepatocytes in the unligated liver lobe.

p53-Mediated Redox Control Promotes Liver Regeneration and Maintains Liver Function in Response to CCl4

Researchers showed that p53 functioned to support repair and recovery from CCl4-mediated liver damage, controlled reactive oxygen species and limited the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, in part through the activation of a detoxification cytochrome P450, CYP2A5.

SIRT2-Mediated Deacetylation and Deubiquitination of C/EBPβ Prevents Ethanol-Induced Liver Injury

Liver-specific Sirutin 2 (SIRT2) deficiency sensitized mice to alcoholic liver disease, whereas transgenic SIRT2 overexpression in hepatocytes significantly prevented ethanol-induced liver injury via normalization of hepatic steatosis, lipid peroxidation, and hepatocyte apoptosis.
