Gentiopicroside ameliorates CCl-induced liver injury in mice by regulating the PPAR-γ/Nrf2 and NF-κB/IκB signaling pathways

Journal of International Medical Research, 2023
Objective This study explored the mechanisms by which gentiopicroside protects against carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 )-induced liver injury. Methods Male mice were randomly assigned to the control; CCl 4 ; bifendate 100 mg/kg; or gentiopicroside 25, 50, or

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4α Suppresses the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]

Cancer Research, 2010
Abstract Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α) is a transcription factor that plays a key role in hepatocyte differentiation and the maintenance of hepatic function, but its role in hepatocarcinogenesis has yet to be examined. Here, we report evidence of a suppressor role for HNF4α in liver cancer.

Functional Activity of Human Hepatoma Cells Transfected with Adenovirus-Mediated Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor (HNF)-4 Gene

Cell Transplantation, 2004
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is still associated with high mortality despite recent advances in medical management. There is need of an effective and safe bioartificial liver (BAL) support to help keep patients with FHF alive until an organ becomes ...

Post-translational deregulation of YAP1 is genetically controlled in rat liver cancer and determines the fate and stem-like behavior of the human disease [PDF]

, 2016
Previous studies showed that YAP1 is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we observed higher expression of Yap1/Ctgf axis in dysplastic nodules and HCC chemically-induced in F344 rats, genetically susceptible to hepatocarcinogenesis ...

2A. Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 receptors in GtoPdb v.2023.1

IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology CITE, 2023
The nomenclature of hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 receptors is agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Nuclear Hormone Receptors [9, 3]. While linoleic acid has been identified as the endogenous ligand for HNF4α its function remains ambiguous [75]. HNF4γ has yet to be paired with an endogenous ligand.

Automating Vascular Biology: An End‐to‐End Automated Workflow for High‐Throughput Blood Vessel‐on‐a‐Chip Production and Multi‐Site Validation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
AngioPlate384 is a 384‐well open‐top platform that automates production of more than 100 miniaturized, perfusable blood vessels embedded in hydrogel and supported by stromal cells. Stromal‐endothelial co‐culture strengthens blood vessel barrier function and yields responses useful for translational planning. Scalable and automation‐ready, it suits drug

Deficiency of the purinergic receptor 2X7 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced by high-fat diet. possible role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular mechanisms driving transition from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a critical step in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to cirrhosis, are poorly defined. This study aimed at investigating the

Perfluorooctanoic Acid Exposure Causes Macrophage Ammonia Retention and Induces Spontaneous Miscarriages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PFOA exposure induces pregnancy loss by promoting glutaminolysis, which further causes ammonia accumulation in macrophages. Cellular ammonia retention results in damage to mitochondria and lysosomes, which leads to cell death eventually. Impaired lysosomes also decrease the secretion of the Cathepsin B (CTSB), and attenuate macrophage infiltration and ...
