| To investigate whether CYP1A2 and NF‐κB p65 played roles in sorafenib desensitization, the authors established sorafenib-resistant (SR) hepatocellular carcinoma cells. SR cells decreased the expression of CYP1A2 along with the upregulation of NF‐κB p65. [Oncogene] |

|
| Scientists observed that cluster differentiation 44 standard isoform (CD44s) was responsible for caspase-1/IL1B activation both in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and five HCC cell lines. In normoxia conditions, CD44s knockdown repressed the activation of caspase-1/IL1B via stimulating AMPK-mediated autophagy. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
|
| Investigators found that translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) protein was overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma patients but TCTP mRNA expression levels were reversed. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
|
| Researchers showed by genetic lineage tracing that PROM1+ cells were derived in part from hepatocytes in alcoholic hepatitis and became tumor cells in mice with diethyl nitrosamine-initiated, Western alcohol diet-promoted liver tumorigenesis. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found definite lipidomic and transcriptomic changes in the hepatocellular carcinoma lines upon knockdown of macroH2A1 or focal adhesion kinase, in line with the acquisition or loss of stemness features. [International Journal of Molecular Sciences] |

|
| Investigators demonstrated the immune response mediated by an adeno-associated viruse (AAV) vector in a mouse model. Mice were infected intravenously with 4×10ˆ12 cp/kg of AAV8 and the ensuing immune response was analyzed using intravital microscopy, over a period of weeks.

|
| Cell cytotoxicity was measured by clonogenic survival or relative cell growth and the DNA damage response using immunological-based techniques in Hep3B, PLC/PRF/5, HepG2- and HepaRG-derived models. [Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology] |

| The authors highlight the implications of sexual dimorphism in the pathophysiology of obesity-related cardiometabolic risk for the development of sex-specific prevention and treatment strategies. [Nature Reviews Endocrinology] |

| Intellia Therapeutics, Inc.announced that the first patient has been treated with NTLA-2001, which the company is developing as a single-course, potentially curative therapy for transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). Intellia’s global Phase I study is to evaluate NTLA-2001 for hereditary ATTR with polyneuropathy. [Intellia Therapeutics, Inc.] |
