Tonicity-Responsive Enhancer-Binding Protein Promotes Stemness of Liver Cancer and Cisplatin Resistance

Tonicity-responsive enhancer binding protein (TonEBP) was required for the tumorigenesis and self-renewal of liver CSCs. Cisplatin induced the recruitment of the ERCC1/XPF dimer to the chromatin in a TonEBP-dependent manner leading to DNA repair and cisplatin resistance.

Neohesperidin Enhances PGC-1α-Mediated Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Alleviates Hepatic Steatosis in High Fat Diet Fed Mice

Neohesperidin (NHP) elevated hepatic mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation by increasing PGC-1α expression. The activation of AMP-activated protein kinase was involved in NHP induced PGC-1α expression.
