    Clonal Hematopoiesis and Risk of Chronic Liver Disease

    The authors examined the association between clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential and chronic liver disease in 214,563 individuals from four fourindependent cohorts with whole-exome sequencing data.

    Positive Selection of Somatically Mutated Clones Identifies Adaptive Pathways in Metabolic Liver Disease

    To interrogate genes in human metabolic disease, researchers performed lineage tracing in mice harboring somatic mosaicism subjected to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.
    [Cell]

    A Proteo-Transcriptomic Map of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Signatures

    Investigators provided a detailed proteo-transcriptomic map of steatohepatitis and fibrosis during progressive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

    Semaphorin 3C Exacerbates Liver Fibrosis

    Researchers analyzed publicly available patient databases and liver biopsies. They employed transgenic mice, in which genes were deleted only in activated HSCs to perform ex vivo analysis and animal models.

    Synergistic Effects of Combined Immunotherapy Strategies in a Model of Multifocal Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    The authors developed a multifocal HCC model to test immunotherapies by introducing c-myc using hydrodynamic gene transfer along with CRISPR-Cas9-mediated disruption of p53 in mouse hepatocytes
    [Cell Reports Medicine]

    Minimally Invasive Bioprinting for In Situ Liver Regeneration

    The authors presented an in vivo scaffold fabrication approach by minimally invasive bioprinting electroactive hydrogel scaffolds to promote in situ tissue regeneration.

    Normalization of Tumor Vessels by Lenvatinib-Based Metallo-Nanodrugs Alleviates Hypoxia and Enhances Calreticulin-Mediated Immune Responses in Orthotopic HCC and Organoids

    A targeted therapeutic strategy is presented for potentiating tumor vascular normalization and systematic chemo-immunotherapy to effectively inhibit the progression of HCC in both orthotopic model and patients-derived organoids.

    Abstract

    Lipid Droplets Are Intracellular Mechanical Stressors That Impair Hepatocyte Function

    By treating primary human hepatocytes with the monounsaturated fatty acid oleate, researchers showed that lipid droplets were intracellular mechanical stressors with similar effects to tissue stiffening, including nuclear deformation, chromatin condensation, and impaired hepatocyte function.

    PPDPF Suppresses the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma through TRIM21-Mediated Ubiquitination of RIPK1

    In the dimethylnitrosamine-induced HCC mouse model, hepatocyte-specific depletion of Ppancreatic progenitor cell differentiation and proliferation factor (Ppdpf) promoted hepatocarcinogenesis, and reintroduction of PPDPF into liver-specific Ppdpf knockout mice inhibits the accelerated HCC development.

    RNF2 Inhibits E-Cadherin Transcription to Promote Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis via Inducing Histone Mono-Ubiquitination

    Investigators extracted data from TGCA database and validated RNF2 expression in teir cohort, which revealed that RNF2 was highly expressed in HCC and was associated with malignant characteristics and poor prognosis of HCC.

    SIAH1/CTR9 Axis Promotes the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Researchers discovered the inhibitory effect of SIAH1 on HCC cell migration and invasion, which was related with regulating EMT. Molecularly, a yeast two-hybrid experiment indicated that CTR9 was a potential interacting protein of SIAH1, which was further verified by co-immunoprecipitation assays.

    Drug Transporter Expression and Activity in Cryopreserved Human Hepatocytes Isolated from Chimeric TK-NOG Mice with Humanized Livers

    The authors characterized mRNA expression and activity of main hepatic drug transporters in cryopreserved human hepatocytes isolated from chimeric TK-NOG mice and termed HepaSH cells.
