Impairing hepatocyte regeneration to determine the regenerative capacity of the biliary epithelium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Liver injury stimulates hepatocyte proliferation, regenerating the liver through self-replication. In cases where there is severe, repetitive, parenchymal damage, as seen in human chronic liver disease, hepatocyte mediated regeneration becomes impaired.

Hepatocyte TLR4 triggers inter-hepatocyte Jagged1/Notch signaling to determine NASH-induced fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Aberrant hepatocyte Notch activity is critical to the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)–induced liver fibrosis, but mechanisms underlying Notch reactivation in developed liver are unclear. Here, we identified that increased expression of

The role of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor in hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma progression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a ubiquitously expressed molecule that elicits pleiotropic functions on epithelial cells, including mitogenic, motogenic, differentiating, angiogenic, and morphogenic effects. The receptor for HGF/SF is

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 ...

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.

Association of Serum Hepatocyte Growth Factor Level with Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients with Pancreatobiliary Cancer

open access: yes, 2023
Background: Hepatocyte growth factor is a cytokine secreted by the stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment. There is little information about the clinical significance of serum hepatocyte growth factor level in patients diagnosed with ...

The human ABCG1 gene: identification of LXR response elements that modulate expression in macrophages and liver

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
The ABC transporter ABCG1 (ATP binding cassette transporter G1), expressed in macrophages, liver, and other tissues, has been implicated in the efflux of cholesterol to high density lipoprotein.

Human iPS Cell–based Liver-like Tissue Engineering at Extrahepatic Sites in Mice as a New Cell Therapy for Hemophilia B

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2018
Instead of liver transplantation or liver-directed gene therapy, genetic liver diseases are expected to be treated effectively using liver tissue engineering technology.
