Function annotation of hepatic retinoid x receptor α based on genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome profiling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BackgroundRetinoid x receptor α (RXRα) is abundantly expressed in the liver and is essential for the function of other nuclear receptors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and mRNA profiling data generated from wild type and RXRα-null mouse ...

Extracellular Vesicles From Hepatocytes Are Therapeutic for Toxin-Mediated Fibrosis and Gene Expression in the Liver

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membrane-limited organelles that are liberated from their producer cells, traverse the intercellular space, and may interact with other cells resulting in the uptake of the EV molecular payload by the recipient

Hepatoprotective Effect of Solanum melongena/Eggplant against Acute Hepatitis

open access: yesAlthea Medical Journal, 2015
Background: Hepatitis is a liver inflammation that can be acute or chronic and may cause damage to hepatocytes such as necrosis.. Hepatocyte necrosis can be inhibited by antioxidants such as flavonoids found in Solanum melongena fruit.

Increased Levels of Phosphorylated ERK Induce CTGF Expression in Autophagy-Deficient Mouse Hepatocytes

open access: yesCells, 2022
Autophagy performs essential cell functions in the liver through an intracellular lysosomal degradation process. Several studies have reported that autophagy deficiency can lead to liver injury, including hepatic fibrosis; however, the mechanisms ...

Hepatocyte transplantation

open access: yesRevista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2019
We have read with great interest the study by Vera MC et al. on the intrasplenic transplantation of hepatocytes from donors receiving the carcinogenic drugs diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and 2-actylaminofluorene (2-AAF). The most important conclusion of the study is that there were no signs of tumor progression in the recipient liver at seven and 60 days ...

Intercellular communication in normal and regenerating rat liver: a quantitative analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
We have compared intercellular communication in the regenerating and normal livers of weanling rats. The electrophysiological studies were conducted at the edge of the liver, and we have found that here as elsewhere in the liver there is a dramatic ...

NLRP12 suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma via downregulation of cJun N-terminal kinase activation in the hepatocyte

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a deadly human cancer associated with chronic inflammation. The cytosolic pathogen sensor NLRP12 has emerged as a negative regulator of inflammation, but its role in HCC is unknown.

Dynamics of Hepatitis B Virus Covalently Closed Circular DNA: A Mini-Review

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Eradication of cccDNA is an ideal goal of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) therapy. Understanding the changes in the cccDNA pool during therapy provides a basis for developing CHB treatment strategies.

Isolated Hepatocytes versus Hepatocyte Spheroids: In Vitro Culture of Rat Hepatocytes [PDF]

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2005
The use of hepatocytes that express liver-specific functions to develop an artificial liver is promising. Unfortunately, the loss of specialized liver functions (dedifferentiation) is still a major problem. Different techniques, such as collagen entrapment, spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids), and coculture of hepatocytes with extracellular
