    Adenosine A2A Receptor Is a Tumor Suppressor of NASH-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Researchers reported that anti-obesogenic and anti-inflammatory functions of adenosine A2A receptor significantly restrain HCC development. Adora2a deletion in mice triggered obesity, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and systemic inflammation.

    Combination of an ACLY Inhibitor with a GLP-1R Agonist Exerts Additive Benefits on Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Hepatic Fibrosis in Mice

    Investigators found that combining an inhibitor of liver ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), bempedoic acid, and the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide reduced liver steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning, and hepatic fibrosis in a mouse model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

    Therapeutic Blockade of ER Stress and Inflammation Prevents NASH and Progression to HCC

    Scientists used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to characterize a mouse model that mimicked human nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)–driven HCC, the MUP-uPA mouse fed a high-fat diet.

    METTL5-Mediated 18S rRNA m6A Modification Promotes Oncogenic mRNA Translation and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Progression

    Investigators found that 18S rRNA m6A modification and its methyltransferase METTL5 were aberrantly upregulated in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and associated with poorer survival.

    Direct Mechanical Exposure Initiates Hepatocyte Proliferation

    Mouse liver perfusion was used to identify the effects of interstitial flow on hepatocyte proliferation ex vivo. Isolated hepatocytes in vitro were further exposed to varied shear stresses directly.

    PCK1 Attenuates Tumor Stemness via Activating the Hippo Signaling Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Researchers showed that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase 1 (PCK1) inhibited the self-renewal property of hepatoma cells, reduced the mRNA level of cancer stem cell markers, and inhibited tumorigenesis.

    LncRNA Tug1 Relieves the Steatosis of SelenoF-Knockout Hepatocytes via Sponging miR-1934-3p

    The authors uncovered that the potent non-coding RNA Tug1, which was related to metabolic enzymes, regulated hepatocytes steatosis induced by sodium palmitate via miR-1934-3p absorbing.

    ARF6 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Proliferation through Activating STAT3 Signaling

    Immunohistochemistry and western blotting were used to detect the expression level of ADP ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) in HCC tissues. Investigators analyzed the clinical significance of ARF6 in primary HCC patients.
