Even though many metabolic liver diseases can now be diagnosed using blood tests and diagnostic imaging, early diagnosis remains difficult. Understanding mechanisms contributing to the progression from Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) and Alcoholic Hepatitis (AH) to cirrhosis is critical to reduce the burden of end-stage liver disease. Monitoring individual bile acids has been proposed as a way to distinguish various liver disorders.

Immunologic bile duct destruction is a pathogenic condition associated with vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) after liver transplantation and hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. As the bile acid receptor sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) plays a critical role in recruitment of bone marrow-derived monocytes/macrophages to sites of cholestatic liver injury, S1PR2 expression was examined using cultured macrophages and patient tissues. Bile canaliculi destruction precedes intrahepatic ductopenia; therefore, we focused on hepatocyte S1PR2 and the downstream RhoA/Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) signaling pathway and bile canaliculi alterations using three-dimensional hepatocyte culture models that form obvious bile canaliculus-like networks.

The necrosis of pancreatic acinar cells is a key molecular event in the progression of acute pancreatitis (AP), with disturbances in mitochondrial energy metabolism considered to be a direct causative factor of acinar cell necrosis. Histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 2 (HINT2) has been implicated in the development of various diseases, whereas its involvement in the progression of AP remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the role of HINT2 in AP.

Serum metabolites are potential regulators for chronic diseases. To explore the genetic regulation of metabolites and their roles in chronic diseases, we quantified 2,759 serum metabolites and performed genome-wide association studies (GWASs) among Han Chinese individuals. We identified 184 study-wide significant (p < 1.

Purpose: Organ damage caused by electric shock has attracted great attention. Some animal investigations and clinical cases have suggested that electric shock can induce liver injury. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism of liver injury induced by electric shock.
