Necroptotic Cell Death in Liver Transplantation and Underlying Diseases: Mechanisms and Clinical Perspective

Shaojun Shi, Monique M. A. Verstegen, Laura Mezzanotte, Jeroen Jonge, Clemens W. G. M. Löwik, Luc J. W. Laan – 11 May 2019 – Cell death is a natural process for the turnover of aged cells, but it can also arise as a result of pathological conditions. Cell death is recognized as a key feature in both acute and chronic hepatobiliary diseases caused by drug, alcohol, and fat uptake; by viral infection; or after surgical intervention. In the case of chronic disease, cell death can lead to (chronic) secondary inflammation, cirrhosis, and the progression to liver cancer.

Methionine Adenosyltransferase α1 Is Targeted to the Mitochondrial Matrix and Interacts with Cytochrome P450 2E1 to Lower Its Expression

Ben Murray, Hui Peng, Lucia Barbier‐Torres, Aaron E. Robinson, Tony W. H. Li, Wei Fan, Maria Lauda Tomasi, Roberta A. Gottlieb, Jenny Van Eyk, Zhimin Lu, Maria L. Martínez‐Chantar, Suthat Liangpunsakul, Nicholas J. Skill, José M. Mato, Shelly C. Lu – 11 May 2019 – Methionine adenosyltransferase α1 (MATα1, encoded by MAT1A) is responsible for hepatic biosynthesis of S‐adenosyl methionine, the principal methyl donor. MATα1 also act as a transcriptional cofactor by interacting and influencing the activity of several transcription factors.

Integrated Omics Reveals Tollip as an Regulator and Therapeutic Target for Hepatic Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Zhen‐Zhen Yan, Yong‐Ping Huang, Xin Wang, Hai‐Ping Wang, Fei Ren, Rui‐Feng Tian, Xu Cheng, Jie Cai, Yan Zhang, Xue‐Yong Zhu, Zhi‐Gang She, Xiao‐Jing Zhang, Zan Huang, Hongliang Li – 11 May 2019 – Hepatic ischemia‐reperfusion (IR) injury is the leading cause of liver dysfunction and failure after liver resection or transplantation and lacks effective therapeutic strategies. Here, we applied a systematic proteomic analysis to identify the prominent contributors to IR‐induced liver damage and promising therapeutic targets for this condition.
