    Ketohexokinase-Mediated Fructose Metabolism Is Lost in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Can Be Leveraged for Metabolic Imaging

    Investigators showed that ketohexokinase expression was tightly controlled and limited to a small number of organs and was down-regulated in liver and intestinal cancer cells.

    GITR/GITRL Reverse Signaling Modulates the Proliferation of Hepatic Progenitor Cells by Recruiting ANXA2 to Phosphorylate ERK1/2 and Akt

    The authors identified reverse signaling between glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor receptor (GITR) and its ligand (GITRL) as a cross-interaction pathway between immune cells and hepatic stem/progenitor cells that restricted the expansion of hepatic stem/progenitor cells and reduced the possibility of carcinogenesis.

    HucMSC-Derived Exosomes Delivered BECN1 Induces Ferroptosis of Hepatic Stellate Cells via Regulating the xCT/GPX4 Axis

    Researchers studied the proferroptosis effect and mechanism of mesenchymal stem cell-ex in hepatic stellate cells.

    Blocked Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 Enhances Chemosensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Attenuates Chemotoxicity in the Normal Liver by Regulating DNA Damage

    The authors investigated the differential regulatory effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 on chemosensitivity in HCC and chemotoxicity to the normal liver.

    Abstract

    Ablation of Cbl-B and C-cbl in Dendritic Cells Causes Spontaneous Liver Cirrhosis via Altering Multiple Properties of CD103+ cDC1s

    Scientists found that specific deletion of Cbl-b and c-Cbl in CD11c+ cells, predominantly in dendritic cells (DCs), led to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and accumulation of systemic conventional Type I DCs due to enhanced cell proliferation and decreased cell apoptosis.

    Metformin Ameliorates Hepatic Steatosis Induced by Olanzapine through Inhibiting LXRα/PCSK9 Pathway

    Researchers investigated the role of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and explored the therapeutic effect of metformin for olanzapine-associated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

    Downregulation of Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1B (LRP1B) Inhibits the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells by Activating the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signaling Pathway

    Investigators suggested that LRP1B played an essential role in the promotion of HCC progression by regulating the PERK-ATF4-CHOP signaling pathway, which is a potential prognostic biomarker and a promising therapeutic target of HCC.

    Emodin Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth by Regulating Macrophage Polarization via microRNA-26a/Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1/Protein Kinase B

    After co-culture systems of M2 macrophages and HCC cells were established, it was shown that co-culture with M2 macrophages could promote both the proliferation and invasion of HepG2 and Huh7 cells.
