OTUD1 regulates cytokine expression and related pathways in goose fatty liver by promoting deubiquitination of its target proteins.

Goose fatty liver (or foie gras) does not develop inflammation even in severe steatosis, which is different from human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and it is considered as a unique model for NAFLD study. The deubiquitinating enzyme, Ovarian Tumor (OTU)-Deubiquitinase 1 (OTUD1), is involved in various cell biological processes by regulating the expression of cytokines. Its role and mechanism in the formation of goose fatty liver however are not clear yet.

Liver transplantation remains the only definitive treatment for end-stage liver diseases. However, the increasing prevalence of fatty liver disease among potential donors exacerbates the shortage of suitable organs. This study evaluates the efficacy of the preservation solution Institut Georges Lopez-2 (IGL-2) compared to Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate (HTK) and University of Wisconsin (UW) preservation solutions in mitigating ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in steatotic livers.

Electronic address:

To explore the differences in foie gras performance between geese raised in cages and on the ground, we conducted an integrative analysis of liver transcriptome and gut microbial metagenomes. The results showed extremely significant differences in the liver weight (P < 0.01) and liver lipid accumulation of FRS and CRS groups.

Comparison of different derivatisation for amino acids determination of foie gras by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

1. In order to compare the difference between different derivatisations for amino acids determination of foie gras , reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), O-phthalaldehyde and 9-fluorenyl-methyl chloroformate (OPA-FMOC group), phenylisothiocyanate (PITC group) and 6-Aminoquinolyl-N-hydrox-ysuccinimidyl Carbamate (AQC group) were applied to derivatisation reagent in this current experiment. The determination results of automatic amino acid analyser were applied, and 17 amino acids were detected by these three derivatisation methods.
