Abnormally expressed miR-199a-5p (miR-199a) has been frequently reported in multiple types of malignancies. Nevertheless, its effect in liver regeneration (LR) is largely still unclear. Herein, we investigated the function of miR-199a in hepatocyte proliferation during LR. As a result, miR-199a expression was significantly increased 12-30 h, in rat hepatic tissue, after partial hepatectomy (PH). The down-regulated expression of miR-199a inhibited proliferation as well as promoted cell apoptosis of BRL-3A. Additionally, TNF-α was found as a target of miR-199a. The administration of TNF-α siRNA regulated the effects of miR-199a on hepatocyte proliferation as well as miR-199a-modulated TNF-α/TNFR1/TRADD/CASPASE8/CASPASE3 signalling pathways. Taken together, these present findings suggested that miR-199a promoted hepatocyte proliferation as well as LR via targeting TNF-α/TNFR1/TRADD/CASPASE8/CASPASE3.

Tumor heterogeneity is the substrate for tumor evolution and the linchpin of treatment resistance. Cancer cell heterogeneity is largely attributed to distinct genetic changes within each cell population. However, the widespread epigenome repatterning that characterizes most cancers is also highly heterogenous within tumors and could generate cells with diverse identities and malignant features.

Background: Overdose of acetaminophen (APAP), a commonly used antipyretic analgesic, can lead to severe liver injury and failure. Current treatments are only effective in the early stages of APAP-induced acute liver injury (ALI). Therefore, a detailed examination of the mechanisms involved in liver repair following APAP-induced ALI could provide valuable insights for clinical interventions.

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease seriously threatening human health, with limited treatment means, however. Sesamin, a common lignan in sesame seed oil, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Our previous studies have shown an ameliorative effect of sesamin on lipid accumulation in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HePG2) induced by oleic acid, with its protective effects unclear in the case of 9-trans-C18:1 elaidic acid (9-trans-C18,1).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common and highly aggressive tumor in the world. Although immunotherapy, surgical resection, targeted therapy and HCC transplantation could improve the prognosis for HCC patients, the tumor recurrence rate of the tumor remains high due to its insidious and invasive nature. Therefore, the development of new HCC therapeutic agents has become particularly important.

Background: Chronic arsenite exposure has been known to induce cancer in various organs; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The characteristic feature of carcinogenesis due to arsenic exposure is that the disease develops after a prolonged latent period, even after cessation of exposure. Our previous study revealed that arsenite exposure induces premature senescence in hepatic stellate cells and suggests that the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors from the senescent cells promote hepatic carcinogenesis.
