Atorvastatin Provides a New Lipidome Improving Early Regeneration After Partial Hepatectomy in Osteopontin Deficient Mice
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-10-02)
Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional cytokine that controls liver glycerolipid metabolism, is involved in activation and proliferation of several liver cell types during regeneration, a condition of high metabolic demands. ...
Silencing hepatic MCJ attenuates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by increasing mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation
(Nature, 2020-07-03)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered the next major health epidemic with an estimated 25% worldwide prevalence. No drugs have yet been approved and NAFLD remains a major unmet need. Here, we identify MCJ ...
Liver osteopontin is required to prevent the progression of age-related nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(Wiley, 2020-07-07)
[EN] Osteopontin (OPN), a senescence-associated secretory phenotype factor, is increased
in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Cellular senescence
has been associated with age-dependent hepatosteatosis. ...
