    Metabolic Reprogramming in Nrf2-Driven Proliferation of Normal Rat Hepatocytes

    To define the metabolic phenotype in normal proliferating hepatocytes, scientists induced cell proliferation in the liver by three distinct stimuli: liver regeneration by partial hepatectomy and hepatic hyperplasia induced by two direct mitogens, lead nitrate or triiodothyronine.

    FBXO28 Suppresses Liver Cancer Invasion and Metastasis by Promoting PKA-Dependent SNAI2 Degradation

    Researchers reported that F-box protein (FBXO) 28 was a critical negative regulator of migration, invasion, and metastasis in human HCC in vitro and in vivo.

    Comparative Analysis of YAP/TEAD Inhibitors in 2D and 3D Cultures of Primary Human Hepatocytes Reveals a Novel Non-Canonical Mechanism of CYP Induction

    Researchers tested the liability for cytochrome P450 (CYP) induction of a diverse set of yes-associated protein (YAP)/TEA domain transcription factor (TEAD) inhibitors with different modes of action and TEAD isoform selectivity profiles in monolayers and 3D spheroids of primary human hepatocytes.

    Acute Deletion of the Glucocorticoid Receptor in Hepatocytes Disrupts Postprandial Lipid Metabolism in Male Mice

    To address the functional role of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the adult liver, the authors used an acute hepatocyte-specific GR knockout model to study temporal hepatic lipid metabolism governed by GR at several pre- and postprandial circadian timepoints.

    Abstract

    Identification of CCDC115 as an Adverse Prognostic Biomarker in Liver Cancer Based on Bioinformatics and Experimental Analyses

    Through extensive statistical analyses, using liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) patient databases, investigators observed that coiled-coil domain-containing protein 115 (CCDC115) expression significantly increased in tumor tissues of LIHC patients.
