Qing Liang, Zeyuan Liu, Chao Zhu, Bin Wang, Xiaoke Liu, Yanan Yang, Xue Lv, Haiyu Mu, Kejia Wang – 27 April 2018 – T lymphocytes synergize with the cellular immune system to promote hepatocyte regeneration. The T‐cell receptor (TCR) immune repertoire is closely associated with the host immune response and regenerative proliferation. High‐throughput sequencing of TCR provides deep insight into monitoring the immune microenvironment. Here, we aimed to determine the role of the TCRβ immune repertoire in liver regeneration (LR).

Hawwa Alao, Maggie Cam, Chithra Keembiyehetty, Fang Zhang, Elisavet Serti, Daniel Suarez, Heiyoung Park, Nicolaas H. Fourie, Elizabeth C. Wright, Wendy A. Henderson, Qisheng Li, T. Jake Liang, Barbara Rehermann, Marc G. Ghany – 27 April 2018 – Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces interferon (IFN)‐stimulated genes (ISGs) and downstream innate immune responses. This study investigated whether baseline and on‐treatment differences in these responses predict response versus virological breakthrough during therapy with direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs).

Pengcheng Luo, Cong Qin, Lihua Zhu, Chun Fang, Yan Zhang, Hai Zhang, Fei Pei, Song Tian, Xue‐Yong Zhu, Jun Gong, Qing Mao, Chengcheng Xiao, Yang Su, Haizhou Zheng, Tao Xu, Jingxiao Lu, Jie Zhang – 26 April 2018 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance and inflammation, and the pathogenic mechanism of NAFLD is poorly understood. Ubiquitin‐specific peptidase 10 (USP10), a member of the ubiquitin‐specific protease family, is involved in environmental stress responses, tumor growth, inflammation, and cellular metabolism.

Amy E. Taylor, Alexandra N. Carey, Ramesh Kudira, Celine S. Lages, Tiffany Shi, Simon Lam, Rebekah Karns, Julia Simmons, Kumar Shanmukhappa, Maha Almanan, Claire A. Chougnet, Alexander G. Miethke – 26 April 2018 – In the multidrug resistance protein 2 (Mdr2)‐/‐ mouse model, low phospholipid bile instigates biliary epithelial injury, sterile inflammation, and fibrosis, thereby recapitulating disease mechanisms implicated in biliary atresia (BA) and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Zeeshan Butt, Andrea F. DiMartini, Qian Liu, Mary Ann Simpson, Abigail R. Smith, Jarcy Zee, Brenda W. Gillespie, Susan Holtzman, Daniela Ladner, Kim Olthoff, Robert A. Fisher, Silvia Hafliger, Chris E. Freise, Mercedes Susan Mandell, Averell H. Sherker, Mary Amanda Dew – 26 April 2018 – Little is known about living liver donors' perceptions of their physical well‐being following the procedure. We collected data on donor fatigue, pain, and other relevant physical outcomes as part of the prospective, multicenter Adult‐to‐Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study consortium.

Giuseppe Cullaro, Meyeon Park, Jennifer C. Lai – 26 April 2018 – Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical determinant of outcomes in hospitalized patients with cirrhosis, but little is known of the impact of AKI in the outpatient setting. We analyzed 385 adult outpatients with cirrhosis listed for liver transplant at a single center; excluded were those with severe hepatic encephalopathy, with hepatocellular carcinoma, or on hemodialysis.

Xu Xu, Christopher Krumm, Jae‐Seon So, Curtis J. Bare, Corey Holman, Jesper Gromada, David E. Cohen, Ann‐Hwee Lee – 26 April 2018 – Integrated stress response (ISR) is a signaling system in which phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) by stress‐specific kinases and subsequent activation of activation transcription factor (ATF) 4 help restore cellular homeostasis following exposure to environmental stresses.
