    Sublethal Necroptosis Signaling Promotes Inflammation and Liver Cancer

    Investigators uncovered a molecular switch facilitating reprogramming between two alternative modes of necroptosis signaling in hepatocytes, fundamentally affecting immune responses and hepatocarcinogenesis.

    Disruption of Proteome by an Oncogenic Fusion Kinase Alters Metabolism in Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Scientists showed that the proteome of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) tumors was distinct from that of adjacent nontransformed tissue. These changes could account for some of the cell biological and pathological alterations in FLC cells, including their drug sensitivity and glycolysis.

    Hypoxia-Responsive lncRNA AC115619 Encodes a Micropeptide That Suppresses m6A Modifications and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

    Researchers revealed that the liver-specific putative long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), AC115619, was expressed at low levels in HCC and encoded a micropeptide, designated as AC115619-22aa.

    Abstract

    GAS5 Protects against Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via miR-28a-5p/MARCH7/NLRP3 Axis-Mediated Pyroptosis

    The authors investigated whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease development was controlled by lncRNA growth-arrest specific transcript 5 (GAS5)/miR-28a-5p/membrane associated ring-CH-type finger 7 (MARCH7)-mediated pyroptosis using in vivo and in vitro models.

    PPM1H Is Down-Regulated by ATF6 and Dephosphorylates P-RPS6KB1 To Inhibit Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Scientists identified that the expression of protein phosphatase magnesium or manganous dependent 1H (PPM1H) mRNA and protein could be inhibited by activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) in hepatoma cells and mice with liver Atf6-knock-down.

    Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease in Relation to Site-Specific and Multiple-Site Subclinical Atherosclerosis

    Scientists performed a prospective cohort study involving 4524 adults within the MJ health check-up cohort. Logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratios and confidence intervals for subclinical atherosclerosis.

    The Effects of Apocynin on Monosodium Glutamate  Induced Liver Damage of Rats

    Twenty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control, apocynin (APO), monosodium glutamate (MSG), and MSG + APO. The MSG and MSG + APO groups received 120 mg/kg MSG solution orally for 28 consecutive days.

    PTBP1 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Regulating the Skipping of Exon 9 in NUMB Pre-mRNA

    Researchers observed significant up-regulation of polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) in primary HCC tissues. High levels of PTBP1 expression were associated with poor prognosis and increased metastatic potential in HCC.
