    Vps37a Regulates Hepatic Glucose Production by Controlling Glucagon Receptor Localization to Endosomes

    Hepatocyte-specific knockdown of Vps37a caused an accumulation of glucagon receptor in endosomes, resulting in overactivation of the cAMP/PKA/p-Creb signaling pathway to gluconeogenesis without affecting β-oxidation.

    Glutamine Synthetase Limits B-Catenin-Mutated Liver Cancer Growth by Maintaining Nitrogen Homeostasis and Suppressing mTORC1

    Mechanistically, glutamine synthetase ablation exacerbated hyperammonemia and facilitated the production of glutamate-derived non-essential amino acids , which subsequently stimulated mTORC1.

    The NQO1/p53/SREBP1 Axis Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression and Metastasis by Regulating Snail Stability

    Bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemical results showed that NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) was highly expressed in HCC tissues. Overexpression of NQO1 promoted the cell proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process, and angiogenesis of HCC cells.

    VEZF1, Destabilized by STUB1, Affects Cellular Growth and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Transcriptionally Regulating PAQR4

    Microarray analysis identified the differentially expressed vascular endothelial zinc finger 1 (VEZF1) in HCC, and its raised expression was validated in HCC clinical samples. Artificial modulation of VEZF1 (knockdown and overexpression) was conducted to explore its role in HCC progression both in vitro and in vivo.

    NUPR1 Contributes to Radiation Resistance by Maintaining ROS Homeostasis via AhR/CYP Signal Axis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    The radioresistant role of nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1) was determined by colony formation assay, comet assay in vitro, and xenograft tumor models in vivo.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cells Exosomal Let-7a-5p Improve Autophagic Flux and Alleviate Liver Injury in Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure by Promoting Nuclear Expression of TFEB

    Scientists showed that mesenchymal stem cells restored the impaired autophagic flux and alleviated liver injuries in acute-on-chronic liver failure mice, but these effects were abolished when autophago-lysosomal maturation was inhibited by leupeptin.

    Toll-Like Receptors and Metabolic (Dysfunction)-Associated Fatty Liver Disease

    Scientists review the available literature on hepatic toll-like receptor (TLR) expression and signaling; crosstalk between gut microbiota and hepatic TLRs, and the contribution of TLRs to the pathogenesis of metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease.
