Magnesium Accumulation Upon Cyclin M4 Silencing Activates Microsomal Triglyceride Transfer Protein Improving NASH
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Background & Aims: Perturbations of intracellular magnesium (Mg2+) homeostasis have implications for cell physiology. The cyclin M family, CNNM, perform key functions in the transport of Mg2+ across cell membranes. Herein, ...
Mitochondrial bioenergetics boost macrophage activation, promoting liver regeneration in metabolically compromised animals
(Wiley, 2022-03)
[EN] Background and Aims Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of early posttransplantation organ failure as mitochondrial respiration and ATP production are affected. A shortage of donors has ...
Targeting UBC9-Mediated Protein Hyper-SUMOylation in Cystic Cholangiocytes Halts Polycystic Liver Disease in Experimental Models
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic disorders characterized by progressive development of multiple fluid-filled biliary cysts. Most PLD-causative genes participate in protein biogenesis and/or ...
PI3K-regulated Glycine N-methyltransferase is required for the development of prostate cancer
(Springer Nature, 2022-02)
[EN] Glycine N-Methyltransferase (GNMT) is a metabolic enzyme that integrates metabolism and epigenetic regulation. The product of GNMT, sarcosine, has been proposed as a prostate cancer biomarker. This enzyme is predominantly ...
Methionine adenosyltransferase 1a antisense oligonucleotides activate the liver-brown adipose tissue axis preventing obesity and associated hepatosteatosis
(Nature, 2022)
Altered methionine metabolism is associated with weight gain in obesity. The methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT), catalyzing the first reaction of the methionine cycle, plays an important role regulating lipid metabolism. ...
Liver osteopontin is required to prevent the progression of age-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(Wiley, 2020-07-07)
[EN] Osteopontin (OPN), a senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor, is increased
in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Cellular senescence
has been associated with age-dependent hepatosteatosis. ...
Targeting NAE1-mediated protein hyper-NEDDylation halts cholangiocarcinogenesis and impacts on tumor-stroma crosstalk in experimental models.
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
[EN] BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) comprises a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors associated with dismal prognosis. Alterations in post-translational modifications (PTMs), including NEDDylation, result ...
A Morphological Method for Ammonia Detection in Liver
(Public Library Science, 2017-03-20)
Hyperammonemia is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated levels of ammonia and a common event in acute liver injury/ failure and chronic liver disease. Even though hepatic ammonia levels are potential predictive ...
Anti-miR-518d-5p Overcomes Liver Tumor Cell Death Resistance Through Mitochondrial Activity
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-28)
Dysregulation of miRNAs is a hallmark of cancer, modulating oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and drug responsiveness. The multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib is one of the first-line drugs for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma ...
Understanding gut-liver axis nitrogen metabolism in Fatty Liver Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12)
The homeostasis of the most important nitrogen-containing intermediates, ammonia and glutamine, is a tightly regulated process in which the gut-liver axis plays a central role. Several studies revealed that nitrogen ...
