Same policy, different impact: Center‐level effects of share 35 liver allocation

Douglas R. Murken, Allison W. Peng, David D. Aufhauser, Peter L. Abt, David S. Goldberg, Matthew H. Levine – 13 April 2017 – Early studies of national data suggest that the Share 35 allocation policy increased liver transplants without compromising posttransplant outcomes. Changes in center‐specific volumes and practice patterns in response to the national policy change are not well characterized. Understanding center‐level responses to Share 35 is crucial for optimizing the policy and constructing effective future policy revisions.

A novel role for CRTC2 in hepatic cholesterol synthesis through SREBP‐2

Yujie Li, Yongfeng Song, Meng Zhao, Yanjing Guo, Chunxiao Yu, Wenbin Chen, Shanshan Shao, Chao Xu, Xinli Zhou, Lifang Zhao, Zhenhai Zhang, Tao Bo, Yu Xia, Christopher G. Proud, Xuemin Wang, Li Wang, Jiajun Zhao, Ling Gao – 10 April 2017 – Cholesterol synthesis is regulated by the transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP‐2) and its target gene 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), which is the rate‐limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis.

The release of microRNA‐122 during liver preservation is associated with early allograft dysfunction and graft survival after transplantation

Jasmijn W. Selten, Cornelia J. Verhoeven, Veerle Heedfeld, Henk P. Roest, Jeroen de Jonge, Jacques Pirenne, Jos van Pelt, Jan. N. M. Ijzermans, Diethard Monbaliu, Luc J. W. van der Laan – 7 April 2017 – Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after liver transplantation (LT) is associated with inferior graft survival. EAD is more prevalent in grafts from donation after circulatory death (DCD). However, accurate prediction of liver function remains difficult because of the lack of specific biomarkers.

Glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase promotes liver tumorigenesis by modulating phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase

Shanshan Liu, Yu Sun, Ming Jiang, Yangkai Li, Ye Tian, Weili Xue, Ninghe Ding, Yue Sun, Cheng Cheng, Jianshuang Li, Xiaoping Miao, Xinran Liu, Ling Zheng, Kun Huang – 7 April 2017 – Up‐regulated glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is observed in multiple cancers with unclear mechanism. Using GAPDH transgenic mouse and a mouse model of diethylnitrosamine‐induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), here we show that GAPDH overexpression aggravated tumor development by activating cell proliferation and inflammation.
