    Microbial DNA Enrichment Promotes Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis in the Course of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

    The authors assessed the roles of gut microbial DNA-containing extracellular vesicles in regulating liver cellular abnormalities in the course of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

    Upregulation of the Serine Palmitoyltransferase Subunit SPTLC2 by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Inhibits the Hepatic Insulin Response

    Researchers found that the expression levels of Sptlc1 and Sptlc2, the major serine palmitoyltransferase subunits, were upregulated and that the cellular concentrations of ceramide and dihydroceramide were elevated by acute endoplasmic reticulum stress inducers in primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells.

    Prmt5 Determines the Pattern of Polyploidization and Prevents Liver from Cirrhosis and Carcinogenesis

    The loss of PRMT5 led to hyper-accumulation of P21 and endoreplication-dependent formation of pathological mono-nuclear polyploid hepatocytes. PRMT5 and symmetric dimethylation at histone H4 arginine 3 were directly associated with chromatin of P21 to suppress its transcription.

    Hepatocyte-Derived VEGFA Accelerates the Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease to Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Activating Hepatic Stellate Cells

    Researchers found that vascular endothelial growth factor A elevation was considerably distributed in hepatocytes of clinical and murine NAFLD-HCC specimens.

    RDIVpSGP Motif of ASPP2 Binds to 14-3-3 and Enhances ASPP2/k18/14-3-3 Ternary Complex Formulation to Promote BRAF/MEK/ERK Signal Inhibited Cell Proliferation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Investigators suggested that ASPP2 promoted BRAF/MEK/ERK signal activation by promoting the formation of an ASPP2/k18/14-3-3 ternary complex via the RDIVpSGP motif at the N terminus.

    Abstract

    GATA6 Is Predicted to Regulate DNA Methylation in an In Vitro Model of Human Hepatocyte Differentiation

    By examining changes in the transcriptome and the methylome using an in vitro hepatocyte differentiation model, the authors showed putative DNA methylation-regulating transcription factors, which were likely involved in DNA demethylation and maintenance of hypo-methylation in a differentiation stage-specific manner.

    Apigeninidin-Rich Sorghum bicolor (L. Moench) Extracts Suppress A549 Cells Proliferation and Ameliorate Toxicity of Aflatoxin B1-Mediated Liver and Kidney Derangement in Rats

    Scientists investigated the cytotoxic potential of three apigeninidin-rich extracts of Sorghum bicolor against selected cancer cell lines and their ameliorative effect on aflatoxin B1-mediated hepatorenal derangements in rats.

    Interplay between GH-Regulated, Sex-Biased Liver Transcriptome and Hepatic Zonation Revealed by Single Nucleus RNAseq

    Nuclei were extracted from livers of adult male and female mice, from males infused with GH continuously, mimicking the female plasma GH pattern, and from mice exposed to TCPOBOP, a xenobiotic agonist ligand of the nuclear receptor CAR that perturbs sex-biased gene expression.
