Monocytic MDSCs homing to thymus contribute to age-related CD8+ T cell tolerance of HBV

Zhong Fang et al.

Summary: HBV exposure in children usually leads to chronic infection and the detection of HBsAg-specific CD8(+) T cells is rare. This study found that mMDSCs migrate to the thymus and eliminate HBsAg-specific CD8(+) thymocytes, resulting in specific tolerance to HBV.

Isoliquiritigenin alleviates LPS/D-GalN-induced acute liver failure by activating the PGC-1α/Nrf2 pathway to reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response

Lu Wang et al.

Summary: Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) improves acute liver failure by ameliorating liver histopathological changes, enhancing anti-oxidative stress ability, reducing inflammation, apoptosis, and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome through activating the PGC-1 alpha/Nrf2 pathway.

The Precise Relationship Between Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and Survival Without a Liver Transplant

Douglas N. Vanderwerken et al.

Summary: This study estimated the survival probabilities without liver transplant for candidates with different MELD scores and IA status using real data. The research found an improvement in 90-day survival rates over the past decade and demonstrated the effectiveness of MELD in prioritizing candidates. It also showed that IA candidates have higher short-term survival rates compared to MELD 40 candidates but lower than MELD 39 candidates.

Health Potential of Aloe vera against Oxidative Stress Induced Corneal Damage: An In Vitro Study

Ida Ceravolo et al.

Summary: FECD is characterized by the gradual deterioration of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) and is the most common cause of corneal transplantation worldwide. Oxidative stress-induced CECs apoptosis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of FECD. Aloe extract may protect CECs from H2O2-induced injury possibly due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Impact of IL10, MTP, SOD2, and APOE Gene Polymorphisms on the Severity of Liver Fibrosis Induced by HCV Genotype 4

Amr Ali Hemeda et al.

Summary: The study found a significant association between specific SNPs in IL-10, SOD2, and ApoE genes and the severity of fibrosis induced by HCV, as well as statistically significant associations between specific haplotype combinations and fibrosis severity. These findings can significantly impact precision prophylaxis and treatment of patients with HCV-induced fibrosis.

Anakinra Activates Superoxide Dismutase 2 to Mitigate Inflammasome Activity

Marilena Pariano et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist Anakinra can regulate mitochondrial ROS production, dampen NLRP3 activity, and protect mice from pulmonary oxidative inflammation and infection through SOD2. These findings provide new insights into the potential therapeutic target of Anakinra.

Pathophysiology of decompensated cirrhosis: Portal hypertension, circulatory dysfunction, inflammation, metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction

Cornelius Engelmann et al.

Summary: Patients with acutely decompensated cirrhosis have a poor prognosis and often progress to acute-on-chronic liver failure. The pathomechanisms involved in decompensation and disease progression are not well understood, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic targets. Research has identified systemic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and metabolic changes as key factors leading to tissue injury and extrahepatic organ failure, emphasizing the urgent need for new treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

The Mitochondrial Trigger in an Animal Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Guglielmina Chimienti et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the significance of mitochondrial oxidative stress and sequential organelle dysfunction in an obesogenic diet animal model of NAFLD. All diets induced marked mitochondrial oxidative stress and decreased mitochondrial DNA content, leading to impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and reduced autophagy. The supplementation of DHEA did not prevent the diet-induced changes.

The Evolving Role of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Treatment

Patrizia Leone et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common and deadly cancer around the world. Traditional treatments like surgery, radiotherapy, and targeted therapies have been used, but due to the immune suppressive nature of HCC, immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown great promise in recent clinical studies.
