Subcellular organization of bile acid amidation in human liver: a key issue in regulating the biosynthesis of bile salts

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
To extend our knowledge of how the synthesis of free bile acids and bile salts is regulated within the hepatocyte, bile acid-CoA:amino acid N-acyltransferase and bile acid-CoA thioesterase activities were measured in subcellular fractions of human liver ...

GHSR‐Foxo1 Signaling in Macrophages Promotes Liver Fibrosis via Inflammatory Response and Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophage GHSR‐Foxo1 axis regulates CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis by promoting inflammation and TGF‐β1‐mediated HSC activation. GHSR activates PKA‐dependent phosphorylation of Foxo1 at serine 273, promoting macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarization to enhance the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that damage hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver ...

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Deconjugation of Bile Acids with Immobilized Genetically Engineered Lactobacillus plantarum 80(pCBH1)

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2005
Bile acids are important to normal human physiology. However, bile acids can be toxic when produced in pathologically high concentrations in hepatobileary and other diseases.

Inhalable Artificial Polymeric Nucleases Degrading Neutrophil Extracellular Trap‐DNAs and Alleviating Pulmonary Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is promoted by NETs that induce fibroblast activation. PEG‐PIm, a polymeric artificial DNase is reported that efficiently degrades NET‐DNA via phosphodiester bond hydrolysis. Inhalation of PEG‐PIm in a mouse PF model prevents fibroblast activation and fibrosis progression, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for NET ...

BRD4 Signaling Maintains the Differentiated State of β Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The comprehensive exploration revealed the critical role of BRD4 in β cells. BRD4 plays a fundamental role in maintaining β cell differentiation because both long‐term and acute BRD4 deficiency result in a reduction in insulin secretion and downregulation of differentiation markers.
