FUN14 Domain‐Containing 1–Mediated Mitophagy Suppresses Hepatocarcinogenesis by Inhibition of Inflammasome Activation in Mice

Wenhui Li, Yanjun Li, Sami Siraj, Haojie Jin, Yuyuan Fan, Xinrong Yang, Xiaowu Huang, Xiaohui Wang, Jun Wang, Lei Liu, Lei Du, Quan Chen – 27 July 2018 – Mitochondria lie at the heart of innate immunity, and aberrant mitochondrial activity contributes to immune activation and chronic inflammatory diseases, including liver cancers. Mitophagy is a selective process for removing dysfunctional mitochondria. The link between mitophagy and inflammation in tumorigenesis remains largely unexplored.

Pregnane X Receptor Regulates Liver Size and Liver Cell Fate by Yes‐Associated Protein Activation in Mice

Yiming Jiang, Dechun Feng, Xiaochao Ma, Shicheng Fan, Yue Gao, Kaili Fu, Ying Wang, Jiahong Sun, Xinpeng Yao, Conghui Liu, Huizhen Zhang, Leqian Xu, Aiming Liu, Frank J. Gonzalez, Yingzi Yang, Bin Gao, Min Huang, Huichang Bi – 26 July 2018 – Activation of pregnane X receptor (PXR), a nuclear receptor that controls xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism, is known to induce liver enlargement, but the molecular signals and cell types responding to PXR‐induced hepatomegaly remain unknown.
