2-Hydroxyglutarate (2HG) is a byproduct of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and is readily detected in the tissues of healthy individuals. 2HG is found in two enantiomeric forms: S-2HG and R-2HG. Here, we investigate the differential roles of these two enantiomers in cluster of differentiation (CD)8 T cell biology, where we find they have highly divergent effects on proliferation, differentiation, and T cell function. We show here an analysis of structural determinants that likely underlie these differential effects on specific α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent enzymes. Treatment of CD8 T cells with exogenous S-2HG, but not R-2HG, increased CD8 T cell fitness in vivo and enhanced anti-tumor activity. These data show that S-2HG and R-2HG should be considered as two distinct and important actors in the regulation of T cell function.

This study aimed to elucidate the protective roles of Immune Response Gene-1 (IRG1) and exogenous itaconate in murine models of hepatic fibrosis and to delineate the underlying mechanistic pathways using both wild-type and IRG1-deficient (IRG1) mice. Primary murine stellate cells (mHSC) and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) were isolated and cocultured. Hepatocellular fibrosis was induced in vitro using Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) to evaluate the protective efficacy of IRG1/itaconate.

Our study intended to explore Hesp antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against TAA hepatic fibrosis in rats. Hesperidin (Hesp), is a pharmacologically active flavonoid, found abundantly in citrus species. Our present research attempts to inspect the potential hepatoprotective role of Hesp against thioacetamide (TAA)-induced hepatic fibrosis.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a hepatology emergency with rapid hepatic destruction, multiple organ failures, and high mortality. Despite decades of research, established ALF has minimal therapeutic options. Here, we report that the small bioactive compound SCM-198 increases the survival of male ALF mice to 100%, even administered 24 hours after ALF establishment.

Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a vascular disease associated with high mortality rates. Ferroptosis has been shown to mediate the transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, the regulatory mechanisms by which ferroptosis influences TAA remain unclear.

A devasting stage of chronic hepatic dysfunction is strictly correlated with neurological impairment, signifying hepatic encephalopathy (HE). HE is a multifactorial condition; therefore, hyperammonemia, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction interplay in HE's progressive development. Cilostazol (Cilo) has shown promising neuroprotective and hepatoprotective effectiveness in different neuronal and hepatic disorders; however, its efficiency against HE hasn't yet been explored.
