Activation of GPR3-β-arrestin2-PKM2 pathway in Kupffer cells stimulates glycolysis and inhibits obesity and liver pathogenesis

Nature Communications
Kupffer cells are liver resident macrophages and play critical role in fatty liver disease, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that activation of G-protein coupled receptor 3 (GPR3) in Kupffer cells stimulates glycolysis and ...

Apolipoprotein E is secreted by cultured lipocytes of the rat liver.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Hepatic lipocytes, the retinoid-storing cells of the liver, share several characteristics with vascular smooth muscle cells. To determine whether they also share the characteristic of apolipoprotein E secretion, we have compared the relative mRNA ...

Antitumor Immunity Produced by the Liver Kupffer Cells, NK Cells, NKT Cells, and CD8+ CD122+ T Cells

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2011
Mouse and human livers contain innate immune leukocytes, NK cells, NKT cells, and macrophage-lineage Kupffer cells. Various bacterial components, including Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands and an NKT cell ligand (α-galactocylceramide), activate liver ...

Multidisciplinary Strategies for Targeting Tumor Dormancy in Breast Cancer Therapeutics: Hallmarks, Mechanism, and Approaches

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
Clinical phases and classification of breast tumor dormancy. Tumor dormancy is described as the period after treatment until residual tumor cells become detectable as relapsing disease in clinic. During the period of clinical tumor dormancy, tumor mass dormancy and cellular dormancy may coexist.

The Role and Therapeutic Potential of Voltage‐Gated Potassium Channel Kv1.3 in Metabolism‐Related Disorders

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past three decades, the global burden of common metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis has steadily increased, becoming a serious public health issue that poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Potassium channels, particularly the voltage‐gated Kv1.3 subtype, serve as critical regulators of cellular

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) in Liver Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), in liver disease. As the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, m6A is dynamically regulated by multicomponent m6A methyltransferases (e.g., METTL3 and METTL14), demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5), and m6A‐binding ...

Placenta‐derived extracellular vesicles: Signal messengers shuttling across the maternal‐fetal barrier

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
In normal pregnancy, PEVs help maintain maternal–fetal immune tolerance while enabling controlled immune activation, promote endothelial migration, and support trophoblast invasion and syncytialization, strengthening antimicrobial defense. In pregnancy‐related disorders, dysregulated PEV signaling may drive endothelial dysfunction and hypertension, BBB

Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

A Study on the Characteristics of Sonazoid Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound in the Transitional Phase for Common Focal Liver Lesions and Its Value in Differential Diagnosis

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objective To investigate the value of transitional phase characteristics on Sonazoid contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (S‐CEUS) in the differential diagnosis of common focal liver lesions (FLLs). Materials and Methods This prospective multicenter study enrolled 122 participants with FLLs from 8 medical centers between December 2023 and March 2025. The study

Factors Associated With Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and the Predictive Value of CHI3L1

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort of 236 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) was common and significant fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement [LSM] ≥8 kPa) was frequently observed. Serum chitinase‐3‐like protein 1 (CHI3L1) correlated with LSM (r = 0.48) and remained an independent predictor of ...
