Stellate cell lactate transporter MCT1 significantly contributes to liver fibrosis through increased collagen 1 protein expression in vitro and in vivo.
Genetic mouse models show that hepatic NIK and IKKα inhibit hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration in part by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
LncRNA-Snhg3 regulates lipid metabolism by affecting chromatin accessibility which indicates that lncRNA-mediated epigenetic modification has a crucial role in the pathology of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.
Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1-R) deficiency in hepatocytes increases cholesterol levels in the circulation and liver in mice, while selective activation of MC1-R reduces cellular cholesterol content in cultured hepatocytes.
The hepatic endocannabinoid/CB1R system controls the soluble leptin receptor’s expression and/or subsequent release by Trib3-induced regulation of C/EBP homologous protein levels in hepatocytes to affect leptin signaling in the liver.
