BPOZ2 is a tumor suppressive mediator in PTEN signaling pathway and plays an important role in cell proliferation. In this study, we investigated the physiology functions of BPOZ2 in CCl(4)-induced liver injury and hepatocyte proliferation afterwards. After acute CCl(4) administration, BPOZ2 null mice exhibited delayed liver injury and impaired hepatocyte proliferation, which was accompanied by altered kinetics of CYP2E1 protein expression, compromised cyclin D1 expression and shortened duration of ERK activation. These results for the first time define that BPOZ2 is an important regulator involved in the injury and repair process induced by acute CC1(4) administration in mouse liver.

Acetaminophen induced acute liver injury (ALI) has a high incidence and is a serious medical problem, but there is a lack of effective treatment. The enterohepatic axis is one of the targets of recent attention due to its important role in liver diseases. Disulfiram (DSF) is a multitarget drug that has been proven to play a role in a variety of liver diseases and can affect intestinal flora, but whether it can alleviate ALI is not clear.

AKI in ACLF: navigating the complex therapeutic puzzle.

Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol

Department of Hepatology, Institute of Liver & Biliary Sciences, New Delhi.

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is driven by the severity of systemic inflammation, acute portal hypertension driving circulatory dysfunction, hyperbilirubinemia, and toxicity of bile acids. The spectrum is mostly structural, associated with reduced response to vasoconstrictors. The progression is rapid and need of renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal therapies may be required for the management.

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.

Aims: To reveal clinicopathological characteristics of alcoholic foamy degeneration (AFD)-an uncommon form of alcoholic liver injury.

Methods: Clinicopathological features of AFD (n=9) were examined in comparison to those of severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH; n=12).

Results: Patients with AFD presented with either biochemical liver dysfunction (n=1) or clinical jaundice (n=8).

Background: Prognostic models help aid medical decision-making. Various prognostic models are available via websites such as MDCalc, but these models typically predict one outcome, for example, stroke risk. Each model requires individual predictors, for example, age, lab results and comorbidities.
