Association Between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Reduced Bone Mineral Density in Children: A Meta‐Analysis

Alessandro Mantovani, Davide Gatti, Giacomo Zoppini, Giuseppe Lippi, Enzo Bonora, Christopher D. Byrne, Valerio Nobili, Giovanni Targher – 31 January 2019 – Recent cross‐sectional studies have examined the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and bone mineral density (BMD) in children or adolescents, but these have produced conflicting results. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of these published studies to quantify the magnitude of the association, if any, between NAFLD and BMD.

F‐box/WD Repeat‐Containing Protein 5 Mediates the Ubiquitination of Apoptosis Signal‐Regulating Kinase 1 and Exacerbates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in Mice

Lan Bai, Ming‐Ming Chen, Ze‐Dong Chen, Peng Zhang, Song Tian, Yan Zhang, Xue‐Yong Zhu, Ye Liu, Zhi‐Gang She, Yan‐Xiao Ji, Hongliang Li – 31 January 2019 – Inhibition of apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) activation has emerged as a promising target for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Multiple forms of posttranslational modifications determine the activity of ASK1. In addition to phosphorylation, recent studies revealed that ubiquitination is essential for ASK1 activation.

Evidence for a Novel Regulatory Interaction Involving Cyclin D1, Lipid Droplets, Lipolysis, and Cell Cycle Progression in Hepatocytes

Heng Wu, Jonathan M. Ploeger, Sushama Kamarajugadda, Douglas G. Mashek, Mara T. Mashek, Juan C. Manivel, Laurie L. Shekels, Jessica L. Lapiro, Jeffrey H. Albrecht – 30 January 2019 – During normal proliferation, hepatocytes accumulate triglycerides (TGs) in lipid droplets (LDs), but the underlying mechanisms and functional significance of this steatosis are unknown. In the current study, we examined the coordinated regulation of cell cycle progression and LD accumulation. As previously shown, hepatocytes develop increased LD content after mitogen stimulation.
