Carcinoembryonic antigen‐related cell adhesion molecule 1 controls IL‐2‐dependent regulatory T‐cell induction in immune‐mediated hepatitis in mice

Andrea Kristina Horst, Claudia Wegscheid, Christoph Schaefers, Birgit Schiller, Katrin Neumann, Sebastian Lunemann, Annika E. Langeneckert, Karl J. Oldhafer, Christina Weiler‐Normann, Karl S. Lang, Bernhard B. Singer, Marcus Altfeld, Linda Diehl, Gisa Tiegs – 29 January 2018 – A dysbalance between effector T cells (Tconv) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) and impaired Treg function can cause autoimmune liver disease. Therefore, it is important to identify molecular mechanisms that control Treg homeostasis.

Direct‐acting antiviral sustained virologic response: Impact on mortality in patients without advanced liver disease

Lisa I. Backus, Pamela S. Belperio, Troy A. Shahoumian, Larry A. Mole – 29 January 2018 – The impact of sustained virologic response (SVR) on mortality after direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) treatment is not well documented in patients without advanced liver disease and affects access to treatment. This study evaluated the impact of SVR achieved with interferon‐free DAA treatment on all‐cause mortality in hepatitis C virus–infected patients without advanced liver disease.

Farnesoid X receptor signaling activates the hepatic X‐box binding protein 1 pathway in vitro and in mice

Xiaoying Liu, Grace L. Guo, Bo Kong, David B. Hilburn, Susan C. Hubchak, Seong Park, Brian LeCuyer, Antony Hsieh, Li Wang, Deyu Fang, Richard M. Green – 29 January 2018 – Bile acids are endogenous ligands of the nuclear receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), and pharmacological FXR modulators are under development for the treatment of several liver disorders. The inositol‐requiring enzyme 1α/X‐box binding protein 1 (IRE1α/XBP1) pathway of the unfolded protein response (UPR) is a protective cellular signaling pathway activated in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.
