Additionally, the recent definition of Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease with increased alcoholic intake will enrich this population with a more nuanced phenotype, reflecting recent epidemiological trends. In these patients, hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis is often delayed and less frequently detected through screening programs. Moreover, at the time of diagnosis, patients with alcohol-related hepatocellular carcinoma tend to have a poorer general condition, more severely impaired liver function, and a higher prevalence of comorbidities, leading to increased competitive mortality.However, when hepatocellular carcinoma is diagnosed during surveillance programs in patients with alcohol-related liver disease or metabolic dysfunction-Associated steatotic liver disease with increased alcoholic intake, the rate of allocation to first-line curative treatments is high (56%) and comparable to that of patients with virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma. As a consequence, the etiology of the underlying cirrhosis cannot be considered an independent prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Instead, prognosis is driven by liver function, general condition, and tumor burden. This underscores the crucial role of early diagnosis through periodic surveillance in patients with Alcohol-related liver disease or Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease with increased alcoholic intake -related cirrhosis.","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867148","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}

They are required for lymphoid organogenesis and have been implicated in tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) formation. TLSs are formed in many cancer types and have been correlated with better prognosis and response to immunotherapy. In liver cancer, some TLSs are pro-tumorigenic as they harbor tumor progenitor cells and support their growth. The processes involved in TLS development and acquisition of pro- or anti-tumorigenic roles are largely unknown. This study aims to explore the role of RORc-expressing cells in TLS development in the context of inflammation-associated liver cancer.<h3>Methods</h3>IKKβ(EE)<sup>Hep</sup> mice, exhibiting chronic liver inflammation, TLS formation and liver cancer, were crossed with RORc knockout mice to explore RORc’s effect on TLS and tumor formation. TLS phenotypes were analyzed using transcriptional, proteomic, and immunohistochemical techniques. CD4, CD8, and B cell depletions were used to assess their contribution to liver TLS and tumor formation.<h3>Results</h3>RORc-expressing cells are detected within TLSs of both human patients and mice developing intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. In mice, these cells negatively regulate TLS formation, as excess TLSs form in their absence. CD4 cells are essential for liver TLS formation, while B cells are required for TLS formation specifically in the absence of RORc-expressing cells. Importantly, in chronically inflamed livers lacking RORc-expressing cells, TLSs become anti-tumorigenic, reducing tumor load. Anti-tumorigenic TLSs revealed enrichment of exhausted CD8 cells with effector functions, germinal center B cells and plasma cells. B cells are key in limiting tumor development, possibly via tumor-directed antibodies.<h3>Conclusions</h3>RORc-expressing cells negatively regulate B cell responses and facilitate the pro-tumorigenic functions of hepatic TLSs.","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867149","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}

We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based HCC prediction model by incorporating imaging biomarkers derived from abdominal computed tomography (CT) images along with clinical variables.<h3>Methods</h3>An AI prediction model employing a gradient-boosting machine algorithm was developed utilizing imaging biomarkers extracted by DeepFore, a deep learning-based CT auto-segmentation software. The derivation cohort (n=5,585) was randomly divided into the training and internal validation sets at a 3:1 ratio. The external validation cohort included 2,883 patients. Six imaging biomarkers (i.e., abdominal visceral fat–total fat volume ratio, total fat–trunk volume ratio, spleen, and liver volume; liver–spleen Hounsfield unit [HU] ratio; and muscle HU) and eight clinical variables were selected as the main variables of our model, PLAN-B-DF.<h3>Results</h3>In the internal validation set (median follow-up duration=7.4 years), PLAN-B-DF demonstrated an excellent predictive performance with a c-index of 0.91 and good calibration function (<em>P</em>=0.78 by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test). In the external validation cohort (median follow-up duration=4.6 years), PLAN-B-DF showed a significantly better discrimination function compared to previous models including PLAN-B, PAGE-B, modified PAGE-B, and CU-HCC (c-index, 0.89 vs. 0.65—0.78; all <em>P</em>&lt;0.001) and maintained a good calibration function (<em>P</em>=0.42 by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test). When patients were classified into four groups according to the risk probability calculated by PLAN-B-DF, the 10-year cumulative HCC incidence was 0.0%, 0.4%, 16.0%, and 46.2% in the minimal-, low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, respectively.<h3>Conclusion</h3>This AI prediction model, integrating deep learning-based auto-segmentation of CT images, offers improved performance in predicting HCC risk among patients with CHB compared to previous models.<h3>Impact and implications</h3>The AI-driven HCC prediction model (PLAN-B-DF), employing an automated CT segmentation algorithm, demonstrates a significant improvement in predictive accuracy and risk stratification among patients with CHB. Using a gradient-boosting algorithm and CT metrics such as visceral fat volume and myosteatosis, PLAN-B-DF outperforms previous models based solely on clinical and demographic data. This model not only shows a higher c-index compared to previous models, but also effectively classifies CHB patients into different risk groups. This model uses machine learning to analyze the complex relationships among various risk factors contributing to HCC occurrence, thereby offering more personalized surveillance for CHB patients.","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857698","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}

In the present study, we assessed the safety and efficacy of a novel GLP-1/FGF21 dual agonist HEC88473 for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) combined with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).<h3>Methods</h3>This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose phase 1b/2a trial. Sixty patients with MASLD and T2DM were randomized (10:2) to receive HEC88473 (5.1, 15.3, 30.6, 45.9, or 68.0 mg) or placebo via weekly subcutaneous injection for 5 weeks.<h3>Results</h3>After 5 weeks of treatment with HEC88473, the magnetic resonance imaging proton-density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) was reduced in a dose-proportional manner.

The 5-week treatment with HEC88473 significantly reduced levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as well as fasting and postprandial glucose levels. The largest mean change in HbA1c reached −1.10% in the 68.0 mg cohort, as compared with −0.31% in the placebo group. Improvement was also observed in participants’ lipid profiles. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild-to-moderate in severity. The most frequently reported AEs were gastrointestinal disorders (n = 29, 48.3%).<h3>Conclusions</h3>Herein, we report the clinical safety and proof of concept data for the GLP-1/FGF21 dual agonist HEC88473. A 5-week treatment with HEC88473 was generally safe and well tolerated, with multiple positive effects observed, including reduced liver fat, and improved glycemic control, insulin resistance and lipid metabolism, together indicating comprehensive improvement in metabolic syndrome.<h3>Clinical Trial Number</h3>Chinese Drug Trial Identifier (<span><span>http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.html</span><svg aria-label=\"Opens in new window\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"20\" viewbox=\"0 0 8 8\"><path d=\"M1.12949 2.1072V1H7V6.85795H5.89111V2.90281L0.784057 8L0 7.21635L5.11902 2.1072H1.12949Z\"></path></svg></span>): CTR20211088;ClinicalTrials.govNCT05943886","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849240","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}

Here, we aim to uncover the underlying cellular processes driving clinical benefit versus resistance to atezo+bev.<h3>Methods</h3>We harnessed the power of single-cell RNA sequencing in advanced HCC to derive gene expression signatures recapitulating 21 cell phenotypes. These signatures were applied to 422 RNA-sequencing samples of advanced HCC patients treated with atezo+bev (n=317) versus atezolizumab (n=47) or sorafenib (n=58) as comparators.<h3>Results</h3>We unveiled two distinct patterns of response to atezo+bev. First, an immune-mediated response characterized by the combined presence of CD8+ T effector cells and pro-inflammatory CXCL10+ macrophages, representing an immune rich microenvironment. Second, a non-immune, angiogenesis-related response distinguishable by a reduced expression of the VEGF co-receptor neuropilin-1 (<em>NRP1</em>), a biomarker that specifically predicts improved OS upon atezo+bev vs sorafenib (p = 0.039). Primary resistance was associated with an enrichment of immunosuppressive myeloid populations, namely CD14+ monocytes and TREM2+ macrophages, and Notch pathway activation. Based on these mechanistic insights we define \"<em>Immune-competent</em>\" and \"<em>Angiogenesis-driven</em>\" molecular subgroups, each associated with a significantly longer OS with atezo+bev versus sorafenib (p of interaction = 0.027), and a “<em>Resistant”</em> subset.<h3>Conclusion</h3>Our study unveils two distinct molecular subsets of clinical benefit to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab in advanced HCC (“<em>Immune-competent”</em> and “<em>Angiogenesis-driven”</em>) as well as the main traits of primary resistance to this therapy, thus providing a molecular framework to stratify patients based on clinical outcome and guiding potential strategies to overcome resistance.","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857699","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}

Outcomes were adjusted using Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW) in a competitive risk framework.<h3>Results</h3>A total of 540 patients with cirrhosis were included, 256 compensated (cNSBB n=111; carvedilol n=145) and 284 decompensated (cNSBB n=134; carvedilol n=150). Median follow-up was 36.3 (IQR 16.9-61.0) months and 30.7 (IQR 13.1-52.2) months, respectively. After covariate balancing with IPTW, carvedilol, compared to cNSBB, significantly reduced the risk of a first decompensation in compensated patients (SHR 0.61; 95% CI 0.41-0.92; p=0.019) and a combined endpoint of further decompensation/death in decompensated patients (SHR 0.57; 95% CI 0.42-0.77; p&lt;0.0001).

Acute non-responders, both compensated (11.1% vs. 29.4%; p=0.422) and decompensated (16.0% vs. 43.6%: p=0.0247) patients, showed a higher likelihood of achieving a chronic hemodynamic response with carvedilol. The safety profile of each type of NSBB was comparable in both cohorts.<h3>Conclusions</h3>Our data endorse the current recommendation favoring the use of carvedilol in the prevention of a first decompensation of cirrhosis and suggest extending the recommendation for its preferential use to patients with decompensated cirrhosis without recurrent or refractory ascites.<h3>IMPACT AND IMPLICATIONS</h3>This study addresses a gap in the comparative effectiveness of classical non-selective beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol and nadolol) versus carvedilol in managing cirrhosis in both compensated and decompensated stages. Our results support the preferential use of carvedilol in both settings due to its superior efficacy in reducing first and further decompensation. However, the retrospective nature of the study and inherent selection biases advise caution against broadly applying these findings to patients with decompensated cirrhosis who exhibit signs of circulatory dysfunction or recurrent/refractory ascites.","PeriodicalId":15888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatology","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832777","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}
