Objective To perform post hoc analyses of ATLANTIS for predictors of response to, and tolerability of, a TCA. Design ATLANTIS randomised 463 adults with IBS to amitriptyline (232) or placebo (231). We examined the effect of baseline demographic and disease-related patient characteristics on response to amitriptyline and the effect of amitriptyline on individual symptoms and side effects by subtype. Results There was a quantitative difference in amitriptyline effectiveness in those ≥50 years vs <50 on the IBS severity scoring system (IBS-SSS) (interaction p=0.048, mean difference in ≥50 years subgroup −46.5; 95% CI −74.2 to −18.8, p=0.0010), and subjective global assessment of relief (interaction p=0.068, OR in ≥50 years subgroup 2.59; 95% CI 1.47 to 4.55, p=0.0010), and those in the 70% most deprived areas of England compared with the 30% least deprived for a ≥30% improvement in abdominal pain (interaction p=0.021, OR in 70% most deprived subgroup 2.70; 95% CI 1.52 to 4.77, p=0.0007). Stronger treatment effects were seen in men, with higher Patient Health Questionnaire-12 scores, and with IBS with diarrhoea. Mean differences in individual IBS-SSS components favoured amitriptyline, and side effects were similar, across almost all IBS subtypes. Conclusion These exploratory analyses demonstrate there are unlikely to be deleterious effects of amitriptyline in any particular IBS subtype and could help identify patients in whom amitriptyline may be more effective.

MASLD encompasses a spectrum of liver disease and can be severe, with 10% of affected children presenting with advanced fibrosis. While biopsy remains the most accurate method for diagnosing and staging the disease, MRI proton density fat fraction and magnetic resonance elastography are the most reliable non-invasive measures for assessing steatosis and fibrosis, respectively. MASLD is associated with multiple comorbidities including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, decreased bone mineral density, obstructive sleep apnoea, anxiety and depression. Currently, there are no pharmacological treatments available for children, highlighting the urgent need for paediatric clinical trials. A diet low in free sugars is promising for reducing steatosis and decreasing alanine aminotransferase, a surrogate marker for hepatic inflammation. Emerging data indicate that steatosis can be present in children under 6 years of age, which was previously considered rare. The intricate interplay of genetics may inform future therapeutics and prognostication, with the PNPLA3 gene showing the most evidence for association with the risk and severity of steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis. MASLD is a complex disease affecting one in ten children and is associated with increased early mortality risk. More dedicated studies are needed in children to advance our understanding of this disease and find effective treatments.","PeriodicalId":12825,"journal":{"name":"Gut","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143027176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dual role is especially relevant in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), characterised by a unique microenvironment and limited success with current immunotherapy. Objective We evaluated T cell responses in patients with advanced HCC by analysing tumours, liver flushes and liver-draining lymph nodes, to understand whether reactive T cell populations could be identified despite the immunosuppressive environment. Design T cells isolated from clinical samples were tested for reactivity against predicted neoantigens. Single-cell RNA sequencing was employed to evaluate the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of antigen-experienced T cells. Neoantigen-reactive T cells expressing 4-1BB were isolated and characterised through T-cell receptor (TCR)-sequencing. Results Bioinformatic analysis identified 542 candidate neoantigens from seven patients. Of these, 78 neoantigens, along with 11 hotspot targets from HCC driver oncogenes, were selected for ex vivo T cell stimulation. Reactivity was confirmed in co-culture assays for 14 targets, with most reactive T cells derived from liver flushes and lymph nodes. Liver flush-derived T cells exhibited central memory and effector memory CD4+ with cytotoxic effector profiles. In contrast, tissue-resident memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with an exhausted profile were primarily identified in the draining lymph nodes. Conclusion These findings offer valuable insights into the functional profiles of neoantigen-reactive T cells within and surrounding the HCC microenvironment. T cells isolated from liver flushes and tumour-draining lymph nodes may serve as a promising source of reactive T cells and TCRs for further use in immunotherapy for HCC.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of AI methods used for analysis of omics data in liver diseases. We present an overview of the prevalence of different omics levels across various liver diseases, as well as categorise the AI methodology used across the studies. Specifically, we highlight the predominance of transcriptomic and genomic profiling and the relatively sparse exploration of other levels such as the proteome and methylome, which represent untapped potential for novel insights. Publicly available database initiatives such as The Cancer Genome Atlas and The International Cancer Genome Consortium have paved the way for advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the same availability of large omics datasets remains limited for other liver diseases. Furthermore, the application of sophisticated AI methods to handle the complexities of multiomics datasets requires substantial data to train and validate the models and faces challenges in achieving bias-free results with clinical utility. Strategies to address the paucity of data and capitalise on opportunities are discussed. Given the substantial global burden of chronic liver diseases, it is imperative that multicentre collaborations be established to generate large-scale omics data for early disease recognition and intervention.
