    Small Extracellular Vesicle-Derived vWF Induces a Positive Feedback Loop between Tumor and Endothelial Cells to Promote Angiogenesis and Metastasis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Proteomic profiling of circulating small extracellular vesicles of control individuals and HCC patients identified von Willibrand factor (vWF) to be upregulated progressively along HCC stages.

    Inhibition of DHCR24 Activates LXRα To Ameliorate Hepatic Steatosis and Inflammation

    By using APOE*3-Leiden. CETP mice, researchers reported that SH42 markedly increased desmosterol levels in liver and plasma, reduced hepatic lipid content and the steatosis score, and decreased plasma fatty acid and cholesteryl ester concentrations.

    Wnt Signaling Stimulates Cooperation between GREB1 and HNF4α to Promote Proliferation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    To elucidate the unique mode of Wnt signaling in HCC, scientists comprehensively investigated HCC-specific Wnt pathway target genes and identified GREB1.

    Mitigation of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis via Recombinant Orosomucoid 2, an Acute Phase Protein Modulating the Erk1/2-PPARγ-Cd36 Pathway

    The authors investigated the therapeutic potential of Orosomucoid 2, an acute phase protein predominantly secreted by hepatocytes, for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

    Loss of Mettl3 Enhances Liver Tumorigenesis by Inducing Hepatocyte Dedifferentiation and Hyperproliferation

    Mechanistically, aggravated tumorigenesis upon Mettl3 deletion was a consequence of hepatocyte dedifferentiation and hyperproliferation via N6-methyladenosine-mediated modulation on Hnf4α and cell cycle genes.

    NREP Contributes to Development of NAFLD by Regulating One-Carbon Metabolism in Primary Human Hepatocytes

    To investigate the impact of neuronal regeneration-related protein (NREP) insufficiency, scientists used RNA-sequencing, lipidomics, and antibody microarrays on primary human hepatocytes.

    α-Catenin Interaction with YAP/FoxM1/TEAD-Induced CEP55 Supports Liver Cancer Cell Migration

    For the detection of proteins, liver cancer tissue microarrays were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Liver cancer cell lines were used for viability, proliferation, and migration analyses after RNAinterference-mediated gene silencing.

    Hepatic Krüppel-Like Factor 14 Regulates Lipid Metabolism in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Mice

    Investigators explored whether and how Krüppel-like factor 14 affected hepatic lipid metabolism in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). KLF14 expression was detected in NASH patients and mice fed a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet.

    Abstract

    Hyaluronan Synthesis Inhibition Normalizes Ethanol-Enhanced Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation

    Liver tissue microarrays containing steatotic livers from donors with or without a history of alcohol consumption were used to measure hyaluronan and collagen content.
