    In Vitro Production of Infectious Plasmodium falciparum Sporozoites

    Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites invaded human hepatocytes in culture and developed to mature liver-stage schizonts expressing Pf merozoite surface protein in numbers comparable to those manufactured in mosquitoes.

    Increased CHCHD2 Expression Promotes Liver Fibrosis in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis via Notch/Osteopontin Signaling

    Coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain-containing (CHCHD2)-overexpressing hepatocytes activated hepatic stellate cells by upregulating osteopontin levels, a downstream mediator of Notch signals.

    MKL-1-Induced PINK1-AS Overexpression Contributes to the Malignant Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via ALDOA-Mediated Glycolysis

    The authors investigated the expression pattern of aldolase A (ALDOA) in hepatocellular carcinoma and its biological role in tumour progression. Bioinformatics analysis, western blot and RT-qPCR were performed to detect the relative expression of ALDOA in HCC tissues and cell lines.

    LncRNA CCAT2, Involving miR-34a/TGF-β1/Smad4 Signaling, Regulate Hepatic Stellate Cells Proliferation

    The interaction between CCAT2 and miR-34a-5p was checked by dual luciferase assay. The effects of CCAT2 and miR-34a-5p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were verified by MTT assay, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry assay.

    Exosomal MicroRNAs in the DLK1-DIO3 Imprinted Region Derived from Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Promote Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Targeting Hedgehog Interacting Protein

    Exosomes were isolated by ultracentrifugation, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, nanoflow cytometry, and western blot assay. The internalization of exosomes by HCC cells was observed under a fluorescence microscope.

    Reduced Klotho Expression and Its Prognostic Significance in Canine Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    The authors aimed to confirm Klotho expression in normal canine liver tissues using western blotting and immunohistochemistry, and whether the expression differed in non-neoplastic liver disease and HCC.

    Abstract

    Performance Assessment and Economic Analysis of a Human Liver-Chip for Predictive Toxicology

    870 Liver-Chips were analyzed to determine their ability to predict drug-induced liver injury caused by small molecules identified as benchmarks by the Innovation and Quality consortium, who had published guidelines defining criteria for qualifying preclinical models.
