Generalized cellular hyperplasia has long been associated as a factor in the causation of liver cancer. Parenchymal cell hyperplasia resulting from hepatotoxins, viruses, parasites, or malnutrition is exceedingly variable as to when it occurs, its extent, and its duration. Partial hepatectomy has been used as an experimental tool precisely because the timing and extent of hyperplasia can be known and controlled. With regards to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) carcinogenesis, partial hepatectomy has produced variable results. An explanation appears to reside in the hepatotoxic properties of AFB1 that enhance the early stages of carcinogenesis.

Metabolic requirements of dividing hepatocytes are prerequisite for liver regeneration after injury. In contrast to transcriptional dynamics during liver repair, its metabolic dependencies remain poorly defined. Here, we screened metabolic genes differentially regulated during liver regeneration, and report that SLC13A2, a transporter for TCA cycle intermediates, is decreased in rapid response to partial hepatectomy in mice and recovered along restoration of liver mass and function.

Arsenic trioxide preconditioning attenuates hepatic ischemia- reperfusion injury in mice: Role of ERK/AKT and autophagy.

Chin Med J (Engl)

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Hepatosplenic Surgery, Ministry of Education, Department of Minimal Invasive Hepatic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang 150001, China.

Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is indicated as a broad-spectrum medicine for a variety of diseases, including cancer and cardiac disease. While the role of ATO in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) has not been reported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify the effects of ATO on HIRI.

During the proliferative phase of liver regeneration, insufficient regulation of hepatocyte hydrogen peroxide (HO) overproduction can result in oxidative stress and hepatocyte death. This study aims to investigate the influence of Aquaporin 5 (Aqp5) on liver regeneration by evaluating its role in reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and NLRP3-GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. A 70 % partial hepatectomy (PHx) model was established in Aqp5 mice to evaluate the pathological changes in the liver.

Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Department of Surgery, Digestive Diseases Surgical Unit - Campinas (SP), Brazil.

Background: Gastric stump neoplasia is defined as a neoplasia that arises in the gastric remnant after at least 5 years of interval from the first gastric resection.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze 51 patients who underwent total and subtotal gastrectomy and multi-visceral resections in patients with gastric stump cancer.

Methods: The hospital records of 51 patients surgically treated for gastric stump cancer between 1989 and 2019 were reviewed.

Intracellular CIRP promotes liver regeneration via STAT3 signaling pathway activation after partial hepatectomy in mice.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.
