    The C-Type Lectin COLEC10 Is Predominantly Produced by Hepatic Stellate Cells and Involved in the Pathogenesis of Liver Fibrosis

    Investigators found the C-type lectins including Colec10 and Colec11 were not produced by hepatocytes but predominantly produced by hepatic stellate cells, especially quiescent ones in the mice livers.

    STAT3 Palmitoylation Initiates a Positive Feedback Loop that Promotes the Malignancy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells in Mice

    Researchers investigated the consequences of S-palmitoylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in HCC. In HepG2 cells in vitro, DHHC7-mediated palmitoylation enhanced the expression of STAT3 target genes, including HIF1A.

    RPLP2 Activates TLR4 in an Autocrine Manner and Promotes HIF-1α-Induced Metabolic Reprogramming in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Investigators observed a significant upregulation of RPLP2 in HCC tissues. Moreover, RPLP2 expression was closely correlated with patient prognosis and survival.

    Periportal Hepatocyte Proliferation at Midgestation Governs Maternal Glucose Homeostasis in Mice

    Researchers showed in mice that hepatocyte proliferation was spatiotemporally regulated in each liver lobular zone during pregnancy, with transient proliferation of periportal and pericentral hepatocytes during mid and late gestation, respectively.

    Cross-Talk Between Gastric Cancer and Hepatic Stellate Cells Promotes Invadopodia Formation During Liver Metastasis

    Investigators found that the levels of invadopodia-associated proteins were significantly higher in liver metastasis than in the primary tumors of patients with gastric cancer with liver metastasis.

    Overexpression of HMGB1 in Hepatocytes Accelerates PTEN Inactivation-Induced Liver Cancer

    Scientists explored whether an increase in hepatocyte-derived high-mobility group box-1 (HMBG1) in a mouse model of inactivation of PTEN that causes metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) could promote MASH-induced tumorigenesis.

    β-Sitosterol Suppresses Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth and Metastasis via FOXM1-Regulated Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

    The authors investigated the effects of β-sitosterol on HCC tumor growth and metastasis using a xenograft mouse model and a range of molecular analyses, including bioinformatics, real-time PCR, western blotting, lentivirus transfection, CCK8, scratch and transwell assays.

    Hepatoprotective Effects of Aspirin on Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Rats by Reducing Inflammation Levels and PD-L1 Expression

    Researchers clarified whether aspirin exerted its anti-HCC effect by inhibiting PD-L1 expression. The rat model of HCC was established by drinking 0.01% diethylnitrosamine, and aspirin was given by gavage.
