Rare sequence variants associated with the risk of non-syndromic biliary atresia

Satoshi Tamaoka et al.

Summary: In this study, genome-wide screening was performed on 15 Japanese patients with non-syndromic biliary atresia (BA) and 509 control individuals. The results show that rare damaging variants in MFHAS1 may be a risk factor for non-syndromic BA.

Predictive model containing gene signature and shear wave elastography to predict patient outcomes after Kasai surgery in biliary atresia

Guotao Wang et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop a comprehensive gene-clinical model based on two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2DSWE), liver gene expression, and other clinical parameters to predict response to Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) surgery for infants with biliary atresia (BA). Using RNA sequencing analysis, differentially expressed gene patterns between BA and non-BA control samples were identified, and a nine-gene prognostic classifier was generated. A nomogram model based on the nine-gene classifier, age, preoperative 2DSWE, and albumin was constructed and validated, accurately predicting response to KPE for BA patients.

Primary vs. salvage liver transplantation for biliary atresia: A retrospective cohort study

Dor Yoeli et al.

Summary: Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy is the standard treatment for children with biliary atresia, but many patients require salvage liver transplantation due to progression to end-stage liver disease. This study compared outcomes of primary and salvage liver transplantation in pediatric candidates with biliary atresia. The results showed that recipients of salvage liver transplant had higher waiting list and graft survival, while recipients with late failure had lower bilirubin levels and were less critically ill. However, there was no significant difference in waiting list, recipient, or graft survival between primary and salvage liver transplantation after early failure.

A. J. Kwong et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on transplant programs and outcomes, but the number of liver transplants performed in the United States reached a record high. Living donation activity decreased, but the survival rates for patients with liver transplants continued to improve. The liver transplant waitlists for both adults and children decreased in size, and a new liver distribution policy based on acuity circles was implemented. The predominant indication for liver transplants among adults in 2020 was alcohol-associated liver disease.

Galectin-3 is overexpressed in advanced cirrhosis and predicts post-liver transplant infectious complications

Eduardo Cervantes-Alvarez et al.

Summary: This study found that patients with advanced cirrhosis have increased levels of Gal-3, which is significantly correlated with disease severity and inflammatory markers. Gal-3 can be used to discriminate cirrhosis and predict post-transplant infectious complications.

The therapeutic potential of galectin-3 inhibition in fibrotic disease

R. J. Slack et al.

Summary: Galectin-3, a beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectin, plays a crucial role in regulating cellular signaling by prolonging retention time or retarding lateral movement of cell surface receptors in the plasma membrane. It is involved in various cellular functions such as diffusion, compartmentalization, endocytosis, and the functionality of membrane receptors, and has been shown to be pro-fibrotic in multiple models of organ fibrosis. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in scientific literature investigating the role of Galectin-3 in fibrotic diseases and the clinical development of new Galectin-3 inhibitors over the past decade.

Macrophage Polarization and Its Role in Liver Disease

Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: Macrophages play a crucial role in liver diseases, with their polarization being significantly important in the initiation and progression of liver diseases. Macrophage polarization involves various molecular mechanisms, including multiple signaling pathways. Further research on macrophage polarization is essential for understanding and treating liver diseases effectively.
