- 肝脏疾病中的线粒体功能障碍
- 肝硬化病理生理病理学
背景情况:
- 肝硬化中的急性失补偿 (AD) 涉及过度炎症和线粒体功能障碍,导致急性至慢性肝衰竭 (ACLF) 的进展.
- 循环中的乙卡尼丁含量升高表明线粒体功能障碍,并预测ACLF的死亡率.
- 乙卡尼丁可能会积极损害免疫细胞,而不仅仅是作为生物标志物.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究乙卡尼丁在AD肝硬化中免疫细胞功能障碍中的作用.
- 为了确定乙卡尼丁是否直接影响免疫细胞线粒体功能.
- 探索潜在的治疗策略,以向乙卡尼丁代谢.
主要方法:

- 评估了乙卡尼丁对白细胞线粒体膜潜能 (Δψm) 和呼吸的影响.
- 分析了线粒体超结构,氧化还原系统和基因/蛋白质表达.
主要成果:
- 阿尔茨海默病肝硬化患者表现出升的乙卡尼丁和炎症调解剂.
- 棕甲基卡尼丁 (C16:0) 损害了白细胞Δψm,减少了呼吸能力,并诱导了氧化应激.
- 抑制C16:0代谢 (埃托莫克西尔,三甲) 或阿尔伯治疗减轻了不良影响.
结论:
- 长链乙卡尼丁会诱导免疫细胞中的线粒体损伤,导致肝硬化相关的免疫功能障碍.
- 向乙卡尼丁代谢是一种潜在的治疗策略,用于AD肝硬化和ACLF.

Transcytosis of IgG
2.7K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Liver Regeneration
3.2K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...
