Activation of the p62‐Keap1‐NRF2 pathway protects against ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Xiaofang Sun, Zhanhui Ou, Ruochan Chen, Xiaohua Niu, De Chen, Rui Kang, Daolin Tang – 24 September 2015 – Ferroptosis is a recently recognized form of regulated cell death caused by an iron‐dependent accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating ferroptosis remain obscure. Here, we report that nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 (NRF2) plays a central role in protecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells against ferroptosis.

Vasopressin 1a receptor partial agonism increases sodium excretion and reduces portal hypertension and ascites in cirrhotic rats

Guillermo Fernández‐Varo, Denise Oró, Edward Earl Cable, Vedrana Reichenbach, Silvia Carvajal, Bernardino González de la Presa, Kazimierz Wiśniewski, Pere Ginés, Geoffrey Harris, Wladimiro Jiménez – 24 September 2015 – Patients and rats with cirrhosis and ascites have portal hypertension and circulatory dysfunction. Synthetic arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor agonists able to induce systemic and mesenteric vasoconstriction have shown their usefulness in reducing portal pressure (PP) in this condition.
