Structural basis of bile salt extrusion and small-molecule inhibition in human BSEP

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni

BSEP (ABCB11) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that is expressed in hepatocytes and extrudes bile salts into the canaliculi of the liver. BSEP dysfunction, caused by mutations or induced by drugs, is frequently associated with severe cholestatic live ...

Dissecting the role of biliary epithelial cells during non-alcoholic fatty liver disease progression

Ece Yildiz

The liver is the largest solid organ and the only one capable of using regenerative mechanisms to recover its mass fully. Although liver regeneration from acute injuries has been effective and extensively studied, chronic liver damage has adverse effects o ...

Probiotics improve the neurometabolic profile of rats with chronic cholestatic liver disease

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Veronika Rackayová, Jocelin Grosse, Emmanuelle Ines Flatt

Chronic liver disease leads to neuropsychiatric complications called hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Current treatments have some limitations in their efficacy and tolerability, emphasizing the need for alternative therapies. Modulation of gut bacterial flora ...

Longitudinal osmotic and neurometabolic changes in young rats with chronic cholestatic liver disease

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Veronika Rackayová

Type C hepatic encephalopathy (type C HE) is increasingly suspected in children with chronic liver disease (CLD), and believed to underlie long-term neurocognitive difficulties. The molecular underpinnings of type C HE in both adults and children are incom ...

Transcriptomic analysis across liver diseases reveals disease-modulating activation of constitutive androstane receptor in cholestasis

Kristina Schoonjans

Background & Aims: Liver diseases are caused by many factors, such as genetics, nutrition, and viruses. Therefore, it is important to delineate transcriptomic changes that occur in various liver diseases. Methods: We performed high-throughput sequencing of ...

In vivo detection of gamma-glutamyl-transferase up-regulation in glioma using hyperpolarized gamma-glutamyl-[1-C-13]glycine

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Glutathione (GSH) is often upregulated in cancer, where it serves to mitigate oxidative stress. gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT) is a key enzyme in GSH homeostasis, and compared to normal brain its expression is elevated in tumors, including in primary gli ...

The G Protein-Coupled Bile Acid Receptor TGR5 (Gpbar1) Modulates Endothelin-1 Signaling in Liver

Kristina Schoonjans

TGR5 (Gpbar1) is a G protein-coupled receptor responsive to bile acids (BAs), which is expressed in different non-parenchymal cells of the liver, including biliary epithelial cells, liver-resident macrophages, sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and acti ...

Genome-Scale Identification of Essential Metabolic Processes for Targeting the Plasmodium Liver Stage

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Vikash Kumar Pandey

Plasmodium gene functions in mosquito and liver stages remain poorly characterized due to limitations in the throughput of phenotyping at these stages. To fill this gap, we followed more than 1,300 barcoded P. berghei mutants through the life cycle. We dis ...

Investigating the deregulation of metabolic tasks via Minimum Network Enrichment Analysis (MiNEA) as applied to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease using mouse and human omics data

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Vikash Kumar Pandey

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with metabolic syndromes spanning a wide spectrum of diseases, from simple steatosis to the more complex nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. To identify the deregulation that occurs in metabolic processes at ...

Brain metabolism during Chronic Hepatic Encephalopathy studied by in vivo 1H and 31P MRS

Veronika Rackayová

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a powerful tool increasingly used in biomedical research and also in clinical practice. This thesis focused on the improvements of in vivo 31P MRS and 31P magnetization transfer methods at high magnetic field (9.4T ...

The therapeutic role of NAD+ modulation in fatty liver disease

Karim Laurent Gariani

NAFLD encompasses a disease spectrum ranging from hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and finally cirrhosis, which predisposes to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. With no approved pharmacological treatment, NAFLD ...

Plasma Membrane-bound G Protein-coupled Bile Acid Receptor Attenuates Liver Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Via the Inhibition of Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling in Mice

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Xu Wang

The plasma membrane-bound G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) displays varied levels of expression in different tissues. TGR5-induced liver protection has been demonstrated during several liver diseases, except during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I ...

Direct Monitoring of γ-Glutamyl Transpeptidase Activity In Vivo Using a Hyperpolarized (13) C-Labeled Molecular Probe

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Emine Can, Yuhei Takado

The γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme plays a central role in glutathione homeostasis. Direct detection of GGT activity could provide critical information for the diagnosis of several pathologies. We propose a new molecular probe, γ-Glu-[1-(13) C]Gly, ...

New technologies – new insights into the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy

Bernard Lanz

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome which frequently accompanies acute or chronic liver disease. It is characterized by a variety of symptoms of different severity such as cognitive deficits and impaired motor functions. Currently, H ...

Intestinal FXR agonism promotes adipose tissue browning and reduces obesity and insulin resistance

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

The systemic expression of the bile acid (BA) sensor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has led to promising new therapies targeting cholesterol metabolism, triglyceride production, hepatic steatosis and biliary cholestasis. In contrast to systemic therapy, bile a ...

The Receptor TGR5 Protects the Liver From Bile Acid Overload During Liver Regeneration in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Many regulatory pathways are involved in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) to initiate growth, protect liver cells, and sustain functions of the remnant liver. Bile acids (BAs), whose levels rise in the blood early after PH, stimulate both ...

Role of the bile acid membrane receptor TGR5 in macrophages and metabolism

Mitsunori Nomura

Activation of the bile acid responsive G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 improves metabolic homeostasis via induction of energy expenditure and release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The goal of my PhD work was to explore the role of macrophage TGR5 wit ...
