    SULT1A1-Dependent Sulfonation of Alkylators Is a Lineage-Dependent Vulnerability of Liver Cancers

    Using high-throughput screens, proteomics and in vitro resistance models, investigators identified the small molecule YC-1 as selectively active against a defined subset of cell lines derived from both liver cancer types.

    Deficiency of Gluconeogenic Enzyme PCK1 Promotes Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease through PI3K/AKT/PDGF Axis Activation in Male Mice

    The authors demonstrated that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) played a central role in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease progression.

    Two Hippo Signaling Modules Orchestrate Liver Size and Tumorigenesis

    Scientists proposed that two Hippo signaling modules, MST1/2–SAV1–WWC1-3 and MAP4K1-7–NF2, together regulated the activity of LATS1/2 kinases and YAP/TAZ transcriptional co-activators.

    SUMOylated IL-33 in the Nucleus Stabilizes the Transcription Factor IRF1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells to Promote Immune Escape

    Researchers explored the role of interleukin-33 (IL-33) role in HCC and identified that a posttranslational modification altered its nuclear activity and promoted immune escape for HCC.

    Abstract

    DIAPH1 Mediates Progression of Atherosclerosis and Regulates Hepatic Lipid Metabolism in Mice

    Deletion of Diaphanous 1 (Diaph1) attenuated expression of genes regulating hepatic lipid metabolism without effect on mRNA expression of upstream transcription factors in male mice.

    Development of Engineered CAR T Cells Targeting Tumor-Associated Glycoforms of MUC1 for the Treatment of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

    Scientists suggested the CAR T cells could specifically eliminate Tn-MUC1-positive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cells, but not Tn-MUC1-negative ICC cells, in vitro and in vivo.

    Integrated Analysis Revealing the Role of TET3-Mediated MUC13 Promoter Hypomethylation in Hepatocellular Carcinogenesis

    MUC13 was upregulated in HCC and liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) and had a positive influence on CSC generation. Further analyses revealed that MUC13 with promoter hypomethylated was regulated by DNA demethylase TET3.

    Abstract

    Cu2-xSe Nanoparticles Suppress Cell Proliferation and Migration in Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Impairing Mitochondrial Respiration

    Investigators found that Cu2-xSe nanoparticles inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells and mainly induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase.
