Reconstruction of the mouse extrahepatic biliary tree using primary human extrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids [PDF]
Treatment of common bile duct disorders such as biliary atresia or ischaemic strictures is limited to liver transplantation or hepatojejunostomy due to the lack of suitable tissue for surgical reconstruction.

Transcriptomic study in explanted liver from a patient with acute intermittent porphyria
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare disease caused by a deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), the third enzyme of the heme‐synthesis pathway. Decreased enzymatic activity in the liver induces an overproduction of heme‐precursors and

Carrier detection and phenotypic expression in a family with hereditary coproporphyria [PDF]
University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Science.Introduction: Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from defects in the enzyme coproporphyrinogen oxidase (CPOX).

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a low-penetrant, autosomal dominant disorder caused by decreased activity of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS; MIM 176 000), the third enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. We report the first molecular analysis of HMBS gene mutations in classical AIP patients of German origin.

Vemurafenib (VEM) induces renal tubular toxicity through mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal abnormalities. Superoxide production is a key factor, and mitochondrial antioxidant XJB‐5‐131 partially alleviated this toxicity. Autophagy impairment is also suggested.

Reference gene selection for the shell gland of laying hens in response to time-points of eggshell formation and nicarbazin. [PDF]
Ten reference genes were investigated for normalization of gene expression data in the shell gland of laying hens. Analyses performed with geNorm revealed that hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) and hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) were ...

Continued 26S proteasome dysfunction in mouse brain cortical neurons impairs autophagy and the Keap1-Nrf2 oxidative defence pathway [PDF]
The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) and macroautophagy (autophagy) are central to normal proteostasis and interdependent in that autophagy is known to compensate for the UPS to alleviate ensuing proteotoxic stress that impairs cell function.

Liver transplantation and primary liver cancer in porphyria
Abstract The porphyrias are a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that result from defects in heme synthesis. The metabolic defects are present in all cells, but symptoms are mainly cutaneous or related to neuropathy. The porphyrias are highly relevant to hepatologists since patients can present with symptoms and complications that require liver

Zinc signaling controls astrocyte‐dependent synapse modulation via the PAF receptor pathway
Low zinc bioavailability triggers inflammatory signaling through chronic activation of astrocytes via the PAFR. Active astrocytes release ROS, metabolites, and cytokines that affect synapse formation in developing neurons. Adequate zinc status prevents astrocyte (over)activation. PAFR, platelet activation factor receptor.
