RESUMEN
Syndecan-1 (SDC-1), known as a coreceptor of various growth factors or an integrin binding partner, regulates various cell behaviours. Under certain pathological conditions, SDC-1 is shed from the cell surface and plays a protective or pathogenic role in various diseases. In the liver, SDC-1 is highly expressed in hepatocytes, where it is localized on the basolateral surface. It is critical to the cellular and molecular functions of hepatocytes, including their attachment to hepatitis viruses. Previous studies have reported that SDC-1 may function as a novel and promising diagnostic and therapeutic marker for various liver diseases, such as drug-induced liver injury, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. In this review, we summarize related research and highlight the mechanisms by which SDC-1 participates in the pathogenesis of liver diseases, as well as its potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This review is expected to lay the foundation for further therapeutic strategies to target SDC-1 in liver diseases.

BACKGROUND: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute decompensated syndrome based on chronic liver disease, while neutrophil recruitment is the most critical early step. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), a cytokine that recruits neutrophils, was significantly upregulated in both ACLF mice and patients with ACLF. This present study aims to explore the role of CXCL1 in the pathogenesis of ACLF. METHODS: We established an ACLF mouse model induced by carbon tetrachloride, lipopolysaccharide, and D-galactosamine, and used adeno-associated virus to achieve overexpression and knockdown of Cxcl1. We employed mass cytometry, flow cytometry, multiplex cytokine and chemokine analysis, Western blot, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection in mice blood and liver. ACLF patients (n = 10) and healthy controls (n = 5) were included, and their liver samples were stained using multiplex immunohistochemistry techniques. RESULTS: CXCL1 was significantly elevated in both ACLF mice and patients. CXCL1 recruits neutrophils by binding to the C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 on the surface of neutrophils, affects ACLF prognosis by generating ROS and mitochondrial depolarization and modulating caspase3-related apoptotic pathways. We found that the knockdown of CXCL1 attenuated the infiltration of neutrophils in the mouse liver, reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and also significantly downregulated ROS production and caspase3-related hepatocyte apoptosis, thereby ameliorating the liver injury of ACLF. CONCLUSIONS: CXCL1 is a core player in the mobilization of neutrophils in ACLF, and the knockdown of Cxcl1 improves neutrophil infiltration, reduces ROS levels, and reduces hepatocyte apoptosis, thereby attenuating inflammation and liver injury in ACLF. Our results revealed a previously unknown link between CXCL1-induced neutrophil recruitment and ACLF, providing evidencing for potential therapies targeting ACLF.

Objectives: The liver has an excellent ability to regenerate, and disrupted liver regeneration after various injuries leads to an unfavorable prognosis for patients. In this study, we sought to identify novel therapeutic hallmarks that are associated with yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)-mediated hepatocyte proliferation during the process of liver regeneration. Methods: Partial hepatectomy was conducted to induce liver regeneration in rats. Primary hepatocytes were isolated and cultured. Hepatocyte proliferation was assessed using immunohistochemistry staining, and expression of YAP1 was detected. RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to search for potential regulators of YAP1. The association between ubiquitin-specific peptidase 1 (USP1) and YAP1 was validated using in vivo and in vitro experiments. Results: YAP1 was significantly elevated in regenerative hepatocytes, especially in the nucleus. Knockdown of YAP1 using small interfering RNA or pharmacological inhibition using verteporfin significantly attenuated the proliferation of hepatocytes. The bioinformatics analysis results revealed that USP1 was associated with YAP1-mediated hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration. ML-323, a specific inhibitor of USP1-USP1 associated factor 1 (UAF1), significantly decreased the expression of YAP1, Cyclin D1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, while these decreased expressions could be rescued by YAP1 overexpression. Furthermore, ML-323 treatment significantly inhibited liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. Conclusions: In conclusion, we identified USP1 as a novel biomarker that is associated with YAP1-mediated hepatocyte proliferation in liver regeneration. Pharmacological inhibition of USP1 by ML-323 substantially impairs hepatocyte proliferation during liver regeneration.
RESUMEN
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a severe globally distributed liver disease that could occur at any age. Human menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) have shown therapeutic effect in acute lung injury and liver failure. However, their role in the curative effect of AIH remains unclear. Here, a classic AIH mouse model was constructed through intravenous injection with concanavalin A (Con A). MenSCs were intravenously injected while Con A injection in the treatment groups. The results showed that the mortality by Con A injection was significantly decreased by MenSCs treatment and liver function tests and histological analysis were also ameliorated. The results of phosphoproteomic analysis and RNA-seq revealed that MenSCs improved AIH, mainly by apoptosis and c-Jun N-terminal kinase/mitogen-activated protein signaling pathways. Apoptosis analysis demonstrated that the protein expression of cleaved caspase 3 was increased by Con A injection and reduced by MenSCs transplantation, consistent with the TUNEL staining results. An AML12 co-culture system and JNK inhibitor (SP600125) were used to verify the JNK/MAPK and apoptosis signaling pathways. These findings suggested that MenSCs could be a promising strategy for AIH.

This study investigated the dynamic characteristics of thermocouples by using double-pulse laser excitation for dynamic temperature calibration under extreme conditions. An experimental device was constructed for double-pulse laser calibration; the device uses a digital pulse delay trigger to precisely control the double-pulse laser to achieve sub-microsecond dual temperature excitation with adjustable time intervals. The time constants of thermocouples under single-pulse laser excitation and double-pulse laser excitation were evaluated. In addition, the variation trends of thermocouple time constants under different double-pulse laser time intervals were analyzed. The experimental results indicated that the time constant increases and then decreases with the decrease in the time interval of the double-pulse laser. A method for dynamic temperature calibration was established for the evaluation of the dynamic characteristics of temperature sensors.
RESUMEN
C17orf53 is a novel gene for DNA synthesis and homologous recombination. However, the exact role of C17orf53 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed it using a set of public datasets. UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas (HPA), KaplanâMeier Plotter, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), cBioPortal, GEPIA, GeneMANIA, and LinkedOmics were used. Functional analysis was conducted in SK-Hep-1 cells by using small interfering RNA (siRNA). C17orf53 was highly expressed and predicted unfavorable survival in HCC patients. Moreover, it showed positive correlations with the abundance of B cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. In addition, we identified 126 genes that were positively correlated with C17orf53 and its coeffector minichromosome maintenance 8 (MCM8). These genes were mainly enriched in the cell cycle, DNA replication and Fanconi anemia pathways. Knockdown of C17orf53 significantly inhibited the proliferation of SK-Hep-1 cells and decreased the expression of MCM8, cyclin D1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Overall, C17orf53 is a novel prognostic signature for HCC.

BACKGROUND: Shugoshin-like protein 2 (SGOL2) is a centromeric protein that ensures the correct and orderly process of mitosis by protecting and maintaining centripetal adhesions during meiosis and mitosis. Here, we examined the potential role of SGOL2 in cancers, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: One hundred ninety-nine normal adjacent tissues and 202 HCC samples were collected in this study. Human HCC cells (SK-HEP-1 and HEP-3B) were employed in the present study. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blot, Co-Immunoprecipitation technique, and bioinformatic analysis were utilized to assess the role of SGOL2 in HCC development process. RESULTS: Overexpression of SGOL2 predicted an unfavorable prognosis in HCC by The Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA), which were further validated in our two independent cohorts. Next, 47 differentially expressed genes positively related to both SGOL2 and MAD2 were identified to be associated with the cell cycle. Subsequently, we demonstrated that SGOL2 downregulation suppressed the malignant activities of HCC in vitro and in vivo. Further investigation showed that SGOL2 promoted tumor proliferation by regulating MAD2-induced cell-cycle dysregulation, which could be reversed by the MAD2 inhibitor M2I-1. Consistently, MAD2 upregulation reversed the knockdown effects of SGOL2-shRNA in HCC. Moreover, we demonstrated that SGOL2 regulated MAD2 expression level by forming a SGOL2-MAD2 complex, which led to cell cycle dysreuglation of HCC cells. CONCLUSION: SGOL2 acts as an oncogene in HCC cells by regulating MAD2 and then dysregulating the cell cycle, providing a potential therapeutic target in HCC.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: L-tryptophan (Trp) metabolism involved in mediating tumour development and immune suppression. However, comprehensive analysis of the role of the Trp metabolism pathway is still a challenge. METHODS: We downloaded Trp metabolism-related genes' expression data from different public databases, including TCGA, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Database (HCCDB). And we identified two metabolic phenotypes using the ConsensusClusterPlus package. Univariate regression analysis and lasso Cox regression analysis were used to establish a risk model. CIBERSORT and Tracking of Indels by DEcomposition (TIDE) analyses were adopted to assess the infiltration abundance of immune cells and tumour immune escape. RESULTS: We identified two metabolic phenotypes, and patients in Cluster 2 (C2) had a better prognosis than those in Cluster 1 (C1). The distribution of clinical features between the metabolic phenotypes showed that patients in C1 tended to have higher T stage, stage, grade, and death probability than those of patients in C2. Additionally, we screened 739 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the C1 and C2. We generated a ten-gene risk model based on the DEGs, and the area under the curve (AUC) values of the risk model for predicting overall survival. Patients in the low-risk subgroup tended to have a significantly longer overall survival than that of those in the high-risk group. Moreover, univariate analysis indicated that the risk model was significantly correlated with overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that the risk model remained an independent risk factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: We identified two metabolic phenotypes based on genes of the Trp metabolism pathway, and we established a risk model that could be used for predicting prognosis and guiding immunotherapy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
RESUMEN
Background and Aims: 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (1,5AG) activity has been reported in chronic liver disease. Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) patients have a high mortality. We aimed to discover the relationship between serum 1,5AG and the prognosis of HBV-ACLF. Methods: Serum 1,5AG levels were determined in 333 patients with HBV-ACLF, 300 without diabetes were allocated to derivation (n=206) and validation cohorts (n=94), and 33 were recruited to evaluate 1,5AG in those with diabetes. Forty patients with chronic hepatitis B, 40 with liver cirrhosis, and 40 healthy people were controls in the validation cohort. Results: In the derivation and validation cohorts, serum 1,5AG levels were significantly lower in nonsurvivors than in survivors. The AUC of 1,5AG for 28-day mortality was 0.811. In patients with diabetes, serum 1,5AG levels were also significantly lower in nonsurvivors than in survivors. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, serum 1,5AG levels were independently associated with 28-day mortality. A novel predictive model (ACTIG) based on 1,5AG, age, TB, cholesterol, and INR was derived to predict mortality. In ACTIG, the AUC for 28-day mortality was 0.914, which was superior to some prognostic score models. ACTIG was also comparable to those prognostic score models in predicting 6-month mortality. In mice with D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced liver failure, 1,5AG levels were significantly reduced in serum and significantly increased in urine and liver tissue. Conclusions: Serum 1,5AG levels are a promising predictor of short-term mortality in HBV-ACLF patients. The 1,5AG distribution changed in mice with D-galactosamine/ lipopolysaccharide-induced liver failure.
RESUMEN
To screen out potential prognostic hub genes for adult patients with sepsis via RNA sequencing and construction of a microRNA-mRNA-PPI network and investigate the localization of these hub genes in peripheral blood monocytes. The peripheral blood of 33 subjects was subjected to microRNA and mRNA sequencing using high-throughput sequencing, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) were identified by bioinformatics. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing (10 × Genomics) was further conducted. Among the samples from 23 adult septic patients and 10 healthy individuals, 20,391 genes and 1633 microRNAs were detected by RNA sequencing. In total, 1114 preliminary DEGs and 76 DEMs were obtained using DESeq2, and 454 DEGs were ultimately distinguished. A microRNA-mRNA-PPI network was constructed based on the DEGs and the top 20 DEMs, which included 10 upregulated and 10 downregulated microRNAs. Furthermore, the hub genes TLR5, FCGR1A, ELANE, GNLY, IL2RB and TGFBR3, which may be associated with the prognosis of sepsis, and their negatively correlated microRNAs, were analysed. The genes TLR5, FCGR1A and ELANE were mainly expressed in macrophages, and the genes GNLY, IL2RB and TGFBR3 were expressed specifically in T cells and natural killer cells. Parallel analysis of mRNAs and microRNAs in patients with sepsis was demonstrated to be feasible using RNA-seq. Potential hub genes and microRNAs that may be related to sepsis prognosis were identified, providing new prospects for sepsis treatment. However, further experiments are needed.

In the past decades, many studies have focused on aging because of our pursuit of longevity. With lifespans extended, the regenerative capacity of the liver gradually declines due to the existence of aging. This is partially due to the unique microenvironment in the aged liver, which affects a series of physiological processes. In this review, we summarize the related researches in the last decade and try to highlight the aging-related alterations in the aged liver.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: This study was aimed at establishing a nomogram for survival prediction of Colorectal squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), understanding the molecular pathogenesis, exploring a better treatment, and predicting the potential therapeutic agents. METHODS: Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to obtained CSCC patients and the nomogram was performed. Propensity score matching (PSM), Kaplan-Meier analysis, subgroup analysis, and interaction test were used to explore the better treatment strategy for CSCC. Bioinformatics were used to explore the molecular mechanism and potential therapeutic drugs of CSCC. RESULTS: A total of 3949 CSCC patients were studied. The nomogram was constructed and evaluated to have a good performance. We found that the radiotherapy had a better effect than surgery, and the difference between radiotherapy and combined therapy was not significant. 821 differentially expressed genes in CSCC were obtained from GSE6988 dataset. DNA damage repair, mismatch repair, and cell cycle pathways might contribute to CSCC occurrence as indicated by KEGGpathway and GSEA analysis. Transcription factors analysis revealed that TP63 and STAT1 may have an important role in occurrence and development of CSCC. 1607 potential drugs against CSCC were found using the CMAP database, and molecular docking was carried out to show the binding energy between TP63 and drugs. CONCLUSIONS: A good prognosis nomogram was constructed for CSCC. We also have a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of occurrence and development of CSCC and predicted potential therapeutic drugs, providing a theoretical basis for the treatment of CSCC.

BACKGROUND: Cholestatic liver injury can lead to serious symptoms and prognoses in the clinic. Currently, an effective medical treatment is not available for cholestatic liver injury. Human menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are considered as an emerging treatment in various diseases. This study aimed to explore the treatment effect of MenSCs in cholestatic liver injury. METHODS: The treatment effect of MenSCs on chronic cholestatic liver injury was verified in 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydroxychollidine (DDC)-induced C57/BL6 mice. Pathological, fibrosis area in the liver tissue and serum liver enzymes were tested. Proteomics and western blot were used to explore the related targets and molecular mechanisms. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) 9-infected mice were applied for verification. RESULTS: MenSCs markedly improved the survival rate of the DDC-treated mice (60% vs. 100%), and decreased the mouse serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (169.4 vs. 108.0 U/L, p < 0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (279.0 vs. 228.9 U/L, p < 0.01), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (45.6 vs. 10.6 U/L, p < 0.0001), direct bilirubin (DBIL) (108.3 vs. 14.0 µmol/L, p < 0.0001) and total bilirubin (TBIL) (179.2 vs. 43.3 µmol/L, p < 0.0001) levels as well as intrahepatic cholestasis, bile duct dilation and fibrotic areas (16.12 vs. 6.57%, p < 0.05). The results further indicated that MenSCs repaired the DDC-induced liver tight junction (TJ) pathway and bile transporter (OATP2, BSEP and NTCP1) injury, thereby inhibiting COL1A1, α-SMA and TGF-ß1 activation by upregulating liver ß-catenin expression. CONCLUSIONS: MenSC transplantation could be an effective treatment method for cholestatic liver injury in mice. MenSCs may exhibit therapeutic effects by regulating ß-catenin expression.

Partial liver resection is an established treatment for hepatic disorders. However, surgical bleeding, intra-abdominal adhesion and rapid liver regeneration are still major challenges after partial liver resection, associated with morbidity and mortality. Herein, a biomimetic hybrid hydrogel, composed of oxidized hyaluronic acid, glycol chitosan and MenSCs-derived conditioned medium (CM), is presented to address these issues. The hybrid hydrogel is formed through reversible Schiff base, and possesses injectability and self-healing capability. Moreover, hybrid hydrogel exhibits the capabilities of hemostasis, anti-infection, tissue adhesion and controllable release of cargoes. Based on in vivo studies of the multifunctional hybrid hydrogel, it is demonstrated that acute bleeding in partial liver resection can be ceased immediately by virtue of the hemostasis features of hybrid hydrogel. Also, a significant reduction of intra-abdominal adhesion is confirmed in hybrid hydrogel-treated resection surface. Furthermore, upon the treatment of hybrid hydrogel, hepatic cell proliferation and tissue regeneration can be significantly improved due to the controllably released cytokines from MenSCs-derived CM, exerting the effects of mitogenesis and anti-inflammation in vivo. Thus, the biomimetic hybrid hydrogel can be a promising candidate with great potential for application in partial liver resection.
RESUMEN
Metal rubber (MR) is an entangled fibrous functional material, and its mechanical properties are crucial for its applications; however, numerical constitutive models of MR for prediction and calculation are currently undeveloped. In this work, we provide a numerical constitutive model to express the mechanics of MR materials and develop an efficient finite elements method (FEM) to calculate the performance of MR components. We analyze the nonlinearity and anisotropy characteristics of MR during the deformation process. The elasticity matrix is adopted to express the nonlinearity and anisotropy of MR. An artificial neural network (ANN) model is built, trained, and tested to output the current elastic moduli for the elasticity matrix. Then, we combine the constitutive ANN model with the finite element method simulation to calculate the mechanics of the MR component. Finally, we perform a series of static and shock experiments and finite element simulations of an MR isolator. The results demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the numerical constitutive MR model. This work provides an efficient and convenient method for the design and analysis of MR components.
RESUMEN
The ALYREF protein acts as a crucial epigenetic regulator in several cancers. However, the specific expression levels and functional roles of ALYREF in cancers are largely unknown, including for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In a pan-cancer tissue analysis that included HCC, we assessed the expression of ALYREF compared to normal tissues using The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Associations between ALYREF gene expression and the clinical characteristics of HCC patient samples were assessed using the UALCAN database. Kaplan-Meier plots were performed to assess HCC patient prognosis, and the TIMER database was used to explore associations between ALYREF expression and immune-cell infiltrations. The same methods were used to assess eIF4A3 expression in HCC patient samples. In addition, ALYREF- and elF4A3-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined using LinkedOmics, associated protein functionalities were predicted for positively associated DEGs, and both the TargetScan and miRDB databases were used to predict potential upstream miRNAs for control of ALYREF and eIF4A3 expression. We found that ALYREF gene expression was dysregulated in several cancers and was significantly elevated in HCC patient tissue samples and HCC cell lines. The overexpression of ALYREF was significantly related to both advanced tumor-node-metastasis stages and poor HCC prognosis. Furthermore, we found that eIF4A3 expression was significantly correlated with ALYREF expression, and that upregulated eIF4A3 was significantly associated with poor HCC patient outcomes. In the protein-protein interaction network, we identified eight hub genes based on the positively associated DEGs in common between ALYREF and eIF4A3, and the high expression levels of these hub genes were positively associated with patient clinical outcomes. In addition, we identified miR-4666a-5p and miR-6124 as potential regulators of ALYREF and eIF4A3 expression. These findings suggest that increased ALYREF expression may function as a novel biomarker for both HCC diagnosis and prognosis predictions.
RESUMEN
Purpose: Neutrophils and cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). We aimed to determine whether chemokine (CXC) ligand 1 (CXCL1), a key marker of neutrophil recruitment and activation, could predict the severity and prognosis of hepatitis B virus-related ACLF (HBV-ACLF). Methods: Hospitalized patients with HBV-ACLF were enrolled in a prospective study and stratified as survivors (alive at 28 days) and nonsurvivors (deceased at 28 days). Serum CXCL1 levels were measured in healthy controls, patients with chronic HBV, patients with HBV-related compensated cirrhosis, and patients with HBV-ACLF. Univariate and multivariable logistic analyses, Pearson correlation analysis, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), and Z tests were used to evaluate the performance of CXCL1 as a marker in HBV-ACLF. Results: Patients with HBV-ACLF had significantly higher serum levels of CXCL1 and neutrophil count than healthy controls and patients with chronic HBV or HBV-related compensated cirrhosis (P < 0.01, respectively). Among patients with HBV-ACLF, survivors had lower serum CXCL1 levels and neutrophil count than those of nonsurvivors (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, respectively). Serum CXCL1 level was positively correlated with neutrophil count (r = 0.256, P = 0.001), ACLF grade (r = 0.295, P < 0.001) and organ failure, including coagulation (r = 0.21, P = 0.005) and brain failure (r = 0.198, P = 0.008). Multivariable logistic analyses showed serum CXCL1 [OR (95% CI) = 1.017 (1.009-1.025), P < 0.001] was an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality in HBV-ACLF. Meanwhile, the AUROC analysis demonstrated that serum CXCL1 [0.741 (0.669-0.804)] might be a reliable prognostic biomarker for patients with HBV-ACLF. Conclusions: Overall, serum CXCL1 can serve as a biomarker indicating the severity of disease and prognosis for patients with HBV-ACLF. CXCL1 might also be a therapeutic target in this disease.
