This study deals with quality and quantity lipid composition of blood serum and liver, DNA synthesis activity (incorporation of H3-thymidine) in liver in 24 h after partial hepatectomy (PH) in 22-month-old Wistar rats, maintained for 21 months on calorie restricted diet (CRD) and on standard diet ad libitum (SD). The contain of lipids in blood serum and activity of RA-label incorporation (14C-Na-acetate) in serum lipids in 24 h after PH were the same in CRD-fed and SD-fed animals. Quantitative and qualitative composition of lipids in microsomes of regenerating liver also was the same for both groups of rats. In regenerating liver of CRD-fed animals lipid contain in cytosol was 1,8-fold more, but pool of lipid droplets (LD) was 1.5-fold less than in regenerating liver of SD-fed animals. Activity of RA-label incorporation in lipids of microsomes, cytosol and LD pool of regenerating liver of CRD-fed animals was significantly higher, than in SD-fed ones. Activity of RA-label incorporation in lipid fractions and its distribution among cytosol lipids and LD pool lipids differed significantly between SD- and CRD-fed animals. Activity of DNA synthesis in regenerating liver of 22-month-old animals on CRD and SD was the same. It is supposed that calorie restriction induces alternative pathways of lipid metabolism to support proliferation processes in liver after PH.

Therapeutic efficacy and safety of adeno-associated virus (AAV) liver gene therapy depend on capsid choice. To predict AAV capsid performance under near-clinical conditions, we established side-by-side comparison at single-cell resolution in human livers maintained by normothermic machine perfusion. AAV-LK03 transduced hepatocytes much more efficiently and specifically than AAV5, AAV8 and AAV6, which are most commonly used clinically, and AAV-NP59, which is better at transducing human hepatocytes engrafted in immune-deficient mice.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the central link of the occurrence and development of hepatic fibrosis, and autophagy promotes HSCs activation. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification can also control autophagy by targeting selected autophagy-associated genes. but up to now, little research has been done on the m6A modification autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in hepatic fibrosis.

In human aging, liver aging per se not only increases susceptibility to liver diseases but also increases vulnerability of other organs given its central role in regulating metabolism. Total liver function tends to be well maintained in the healthy elderly, so liver aging is generally difficult to identify early. In response to this critical challenge, the Aging Biomarker Consortium of China has formulated an expert consensus on biomarkers of liver aging by synthesizing the latest scientific literature, comprising insights from both scientists and clinicians.

Background: The two-stage surgical technique of associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) enables extensive liver resection and promotes future liver remnant regeneration (FLR), in part by inhibiting the Hippo signalling pathway. Its main effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP), has low intrinsic transcriptional activity and requires the transcription enhanced associated domain factor (TEAD) family members as cofactors for target gene transcription. We evaluated the intracellular localization and expression of TEAD1-4, hypothesized to regulate the activity of YAP and, consequently, liver regeneration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aims: Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is reversible at early stages, making early identification of high-risk individuals clinically valuable. Previously, we demonstrated that patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring MASLD DNA risk variants exhibit greater oleate-induced intracellular lipid accumulation than those without these variants. This study aimed to develop an iPSC-based MASLD risk predictor using functional lipid accumulation assessments.
