Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1), a step limiting enzyme of gluconeogenesis, is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Overexpression of PCK1 has been shown to suppress hepatoma cell growth, but the underlying mechanism remains ...

The PEP—pyruvate—oxaloacetate node as the switch point for carbon flux distribution in bacteria: We dedicate this paper to Rudolf K. Thauer, Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany, on the occasion of his 65th birthday [PDF]
In many organisms, metabolite interconversion at the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-pyruvate-oxaloacetate node involves a structurally entangled set of reactions that interconnects the major pathways of carbon metabolism and thus, is responsible for the ...

Arabidopsis uses two gluconeogenic gateways for organic acids to fuel seedling establishment. [PDF]
Gluconeogenesis is a fundamental metabolic process that allows organisms to make sugars from non-carbohydrate stores such as lipids and protein. In eukaryotes only one gluconeogenic route has been described from organic acid intermediates and this relies

Genome-wide and Mendelian randomisation studies of liver MRI yield insights into the pathogenesis of steatohepatitis [PDF]
Background A non-invasive method to grade the severity of steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based corrected T1 (cT1).

Protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum is highlighted in response to heat stress in Platysternon megacephalum. Under heat stress, the up‐regulation of genes such as CHOP in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum pathway, along with the suppression of energy and lipid metabolism and the up‐regulation of JARID2 expression, leads to ...

Which way does the citric acid cycle turn during hypoxia? The critical role of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex [PDF]
The citric acid cycle forms a major metabolic hub and as such it is involved in many disease states involving energetic imbalance. In spite of the fact that it is being branded as a "cycle", during hypoxia, when the electron transport chain does not ...

Diagnostics of Autoimmune Hepatitis Enabled by Non‐Invasive Clinical Proteomics
Mass‐spectrometry‐based proteomic analyses of paired liver‐plasma samples from patients with AIH enabled discovery of numerous proteins showing high diagnostic accuracy. Proteomics may constitute a novel non‐invasive diagnostic tool for AIH if validated in larger, age‐ and sex‐matched cohorts.

The relative importance of kinetic mechanisms and variable enzyme abundances for the regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism – insights from mathematical modeling [PDF]
Background Adaptation of the cellular metabolism to varying external conditions is brought about by regulated changes in the activity of enzymes and transporters.

Our study elucidates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying KYNA's protective effects against HIRI. It emphasises that KYNA modulates the methylation status of the Hippo signalling pathway through the activation of AHR, thereby mitigating damage by promoting LATS1 degradation and facilitating the nuclear translocation of YAP. ABSTRACT Hepatic
