    Limited Disassembly of Cytoplasmic Hepatitis B Virus Nucleocapsids Restricts Viral Infection in Murine Hepatic Cells

    Cells expressing human sodium-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide were inoculated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis delta virus. HBV pre-genomic RNA, covalently closed circular DNA and different relaxed circular DNA intermediates were produced in vitro.

    Apolipoprotein F Is Reduced in Humans with Steatosis and Controls Plasma Triglyceride-Rich Lipoprotein Metabolism

    To identify liver-regulated pathways linking intra-hepatic and plasma triglyceride metabolism, researchers performed transcriptomic analysis of liver biopsies from two independent cohorts of obese patients.

    Abstract

    MacroH2As Regulate Enhancer-Promoter Contacts Affecting Enhancer Activity and Sensitivity to Inflammatory Cytokines

    Scientists reported that macroH2A1.2 and macroH2A2 modulated the transcriptional ground state of cancer cells and how they responded to inflammatory cytokines.

    ANKFN1 Plays Both Protumorigenic and Metastatic Roles in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Silencing ANKFN1 expression suppressed HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis in vitro and subcutaneous tumorigenesis in vivo.

    FoxO3 Restricts Liver Regeneration by Suppressing the Proliferation of Hepatocytes

    The authors demonstrated that FoxO3 deletion accelerated liver regeneration primarily by limiting polyploidization and promoting the proliferation of hepatocytes during liver regeneration.

    Proteomic Analysis Reveals USP7 as a Novel Regulator of Palmitic Acid-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Death

    Scientists used a proteomics approach to circumvent the mechanism for lipotoxicity using hepatocellular carcinoma cells as a model.

    Senescent Hepatic Stellate Cells Promote Liver Regeneration Through IL-6 and Ligands of CXCR2

    Researchers reported that hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) underwent senescence within two days after 2/3 partial hepatectomy in young mice, and elimination of these senescent cells by the senolytic drug ABT263 or using a genetic mouse model impaired liver regeneration.

    Abstract

    Polygonum Multiflorum Thunb. Induces Hepatotoxicity in SD Rats and Hepatocyte Spheroids by Disrupting the Metabolism of Bilirubin and Bile Acid

    The manifestations of liver injury triggered by P. multiflorum and the associated metabolic enzymes/transporters in the metabolic pathways of bilirubin and bile acid were investigated to elucidate the mechanism and target of the hepatotoxicity of P. multiflorum and related components.

    The Presence of Interferon Affects the Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

    The authors genotyped 42 non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients for three IFNL4 single-nucleotide variants in order to investigate the genetic relationship between IFNL4 and fibrosis in NAFLD patients.

    Hepatic Encephalopathy

    Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a prognostically relevant neuropsychiatric syndrome that occurs in the course of acute or chronic liver disease. Severity classification and diagnostic approaches regarding mild forms of HE are still a matter of debate.
