Pediatric hepatoblastoma is the most common primary liver cancer in infants and children. Studies of that focus exclusively on tumor cells demonstrate sparse somatic mutations a cell origin, hepatoblast, across patients. In contrast to homogeneity these studies would suggest, tumors have high degree heterogeneity can portend poor prognosis. this study, we use single-cell transcriptomic techniques analyze resected human pediatric specimens, identify five signatures may account for observed...

Abstract Hepatic steatosis (i.e. lipid accumulation) and steatohepatitis have been related to diverse etiologic factors, including alcohol, obesity, environmental pollutants. However, no study has so far analyzed how these different factors might interplay regarding the progression of liver diseases. The impact co-exposure carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) lifestyle-related hepatotoxicant ethanol, was thus tested on in vitro models (human HepaRG cell line; hybrid human/rat WIF-B9 line), an...

Exposure to xenobiotics could favor the transition of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) steatohepatitis in obese patients. Recently, we showed different models NAFL that benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and ethanol coexposure induced a steatohepatitis-like state. One model was HepaRG cells incubated with stearate oleate for 2 weeks. In present study, wished determine this whether mitochondrial dysfunction reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction be involved occurrence CRISPR/Cas9-modified were also...

Abstract Steatosis is a liver lesion reported with numerous pharmaceuticals. Prior studies showed that severe impairment of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (mtFAO) constantly leads to lipid accretion in liver. However, much less known about the mechanism(s) drug-induced steatosis absence dysfunction, although previous suggested involvement mild-to-moderate inhibition mtFAO, increased de novo lipogenesis (DNL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion. The objective our study,...

Although mitochondriotoxicity plays a major role in drug-induced hepatotoxicity, alteration of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) homeostasis has been described only with few drugs. Because it requires long drug exposure, this mechanism toxicity cannot be detected investigations performed isolated liver mitochondria or cultured cells exposed to drugs for several hours days. Thus, first aim study was determine whether 2-week treatment nine hepatotoxic could affect mtDNA HepaRG cells. Previous these...

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanostructures released by cells into the extracellular environment. As major actors of physiological intercellular communication, they have been shown to be pathogenic mediators several liver diseases. also appear potential drug-induced injury but nothing is known concerning environmental pollutants. We aimed study impact polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), contaminants, on hepatocyte-derived EV production, with a special...

Human exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) could favor obesity and related metabolic disorders such as hepatic steatosis. Investigations in rodents have shown that these deleterious effects are observed not only when BPA is administered during the adult life but also with different protocols of perinatal exposure. Whether pose a risk human currently unknown, thus appropriate vitro models be important tackle this major issue. Accordingly, we determined whether long-term treatment induce steatosis...

Organochlorine (OC) pesticides constitute a major class of persistent and toxic organic pollutants, known to modulate drug-detoxifying enzymes. In the present study, OCs were demonstrated also alter activity expression human hepatic drug transporters. Activity sinusoidal influx transporter OCT1 (organic cation 1) was thus inhibited by endosulfan, chlordane, heptachlor, lindane, dieldrine, but not dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane isomers, whereas those canalicular efflux pumps MRP2 (multidrug...

Abstract Background The antineoplastic drug busulfan can induce different hepatic lesions including cholestasis and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. However, steatosis has never been reported in patients. Objectives This study aimed to determine whether could primary human hepatocytes (PHH) differentiated HepaRG cells. Methods Neutral lipids were determined PHH Mechanistic investigations performed cells by measuring metabolic fluxes linked lipid homeostasis, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels,...
