Loss of Hepatic Carcinoembryonic Antigen‐Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 Links Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis to Atherosclerosis

Hilda E. Ghadieh, Raghd Abu Helal, Harrison T. Muturi, Daniella D. Issa, Lucia Russo, Simon L. Abdallah, John A. Najjar, Fabian Benencia, Guillermo Vazquez, Wei Li, Sonia M. Najjar – 3 September 2020 – Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) commonly develop atherosclerosis through a mechanism that is not well delineated. These diseases are associated with steatosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. The role of insulin resistance in their pathogenesis remains controversial.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Impairs the Liver–Alpha Cell Axis Independent of Hepatic Inflammation and Fibrosis

Julie Steen Pedersen, Marte Opseth Rygg, Viggo Bjerregaard Kristiansen, Beth Hærstedt Olsen, Reza Rafiolsadat Serizawa, Jens Juul Holst, Sten Madsbad, Lise Lotte Gluud, Flemming Bendtsen, Nicolai Jacob Wewer Albrechtsen – 1 September 2020 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with impaired hepatic actions of glucagon and insulin. Glucagon and amino acids are linked in an endocrine feedback circuit, the liver–alpha cell axis, that may be disrupted by NAFLD.

Exploratory Study of Autoantibody Profiling in Drug‐Induced Liver Injury with an Autoimmune Phenotype

Craig Lammert, Chengsong Zhu, Yun Lian, Indu Raman, George Eckert, Quan‐Zhen Li, Naga Chalasani – 1 September 2020 – Drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) sometimes presents with an autoimmune hepatitis‐like phenotype (AI‐DILI), and it is challenging to distinguish it from de novo autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We conducted a study to identify autoantibodies unique to AI‐DILI by profiling serum autoantibodies.
