Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) comprises a heterogeneous group of cancers with pathologic features biliary tract differentiation, and is presumed to arise from the intra- or extrahepatic tract. Two recent papers suggest these may also directly transdifferentiation hepatocytes [1,2]. Gallbladder cancer distinct cholangiocarcinoma in epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical presentation management, should be considered different form [3].

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious health problem. Although NAFLD represents form of lipotoxicity, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The aim this study was to examine the cellular mechanisms involved in free acid (FFA)-mediated hepatic lipotoxicity. FFA treatment cells resulted Bax translocation lysosomes and lysosomal destabilization with release cathepsin B (ctsb), cysteine protease, into cytosol. This process also partially dependent on ctsb. Lysosomal nuclear...
TNF-α–induced apoptosis is thought to involve mediators from acidic vesicles. Cathepsin B (cat B), a lysosomal cysteine protease, has recently been implicated in apoptosis. To determine whether cat contributes apoptosis, we exposed mouse hepatocytes the cytokine vitro and vivo. Isolated treated with TNF-α presence of transcription inhibitor actinomycin D (AcD) accumulated their cytosol. Further experiments using cell-free systems indicated that caspase-8 caused release active purified...
Elevated serum free fatty acids (FFAs) and hepatocyte lipoapoptosis are features of non-alcoholic liver disease. However, the mechanism by which FFAs mediate is unclear. Because JNK activation pivotal in both metabolic syndrome accompanying disease cellular apoptosis, we examined role FFA-induced lipoapoptosis. Multiple cell lines primary mouse hepatocytes were treated culture with monounsaturated saturated acids. Despite equal steatosis, apoptosis greater during exposure to versus FFAs....
Compare survival after neoadjuvant therapy and liver transplantation with resection for patients hilar CCA.
Non-alcohol-induced steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by elevated serum aminotransferase activities with hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and occasionally fibrosis that may progress to cirrhosis. No established treatment exists for this potentially serious disorder. Our aim was conduct a pilot study evaluate the safety estimate efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) clofibrate in NASH. Forty patients were diagnosed NASH based on compatible liver biopsy other causes disease, including...
