Odevixibat, an ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor (IBATi), impairs intestinal reabsorption of conjugated bile acids, reducing serum bile acid (sBA) concentration in some patients with BSEP deficiency. We evaluated association of pretreatment sBA levels and composition, and subsequent response to odevixibat in patients with BSEP deficiency to improve our understanding of the mechanism. Approach &amp; Results: In this blinded <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">post hoc</jats:italic> analysis, pretreatment sBAs from 41 odevixibat-treated patients with BSEP deficiency who participated in PEDFIC were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Patients were divided into sBA responders (Rs) and non-responders (NRs). Association of pretreatment individual sBAs with subsequent response was evaluated and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to identify discriminating cutoff values. Rs had higher pretreatment percentages of unconjugated cholic acid (CA; area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.70 [95% CI: 0.52–0.87; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P</jats:italic>=0.03]), unconjugated chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA; AUC: 0.73 [0.56–0.90]; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P</jats:italic>=0.01), and concentration of CA + CDCA (AUC: 0.76 [0.61–0.92]; <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P</jats:italic>=0.001). When ≥1 of 3 cutoffs were reached, 36/41 (87.8%) patients with BSEP deficiency were correctly classified as subsequent Rs (17/19; sensitivity: 89.5%) or NRs (19/22; specificity: 86.4%). Conclusions: Higher pretreatment serum levels of unconjugated CA and CDCA are associated with subsequent response to odevixibat in patients with BSEP deficiency. Response to odevixibat may be related to residual biliary bile acid secretion capacity in patients with BSEP deficiency.","PeriodicalId":177,"journal":{"name":"Hepatology","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144611221","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 study compares outcomes between liver transplantation following neoadjuvant chemoradiation (RT+LT) and liver resection (LR), with (LR+VR) and without vascular resection (LR w/o VR). Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included de novo pCCA patients treated at Mayo Clinic Rochester (1993-2023) with curative-intent surgery. Patients underwent either (1) LR, classified as LR+VR or LR w/o VR, or (2) RT+LT following the transplant protocol. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed using as-treated (AT) and intention-to-treat (ITT) approaches, incorporating competing risk analysis and direct matching. Results: In the AT analysis, RT+LT showed superior median OS compared to LR w/o VR (78.0 vs. 58.2 mo, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p</jats:italic>=0.03) and LR+VR (25.8 mo, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p</jats:italic>&lt;0.001).

Key challenges remain dropouts during neoadjuvant therapy in patients planned for LT and high perioperative mortality for patients undergoing LR. OS doubles in LR+VR patients compared to dropouts, supporting LR+VR as a viable option for LT-ineligible patients. Appropriate patient selection is crucial, as those not undergoing surgery suffer from a dismal prognosis.","PeriodicalId":177,"journal":{"name":"Hepatology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578383","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}

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying aging-induced hepatic dyshomeostasis remain incompletely characterized. Here, we investigate how aging alters liver architecture, cellular communication, and hepatocyte zonation. Approach and Results: Histological analyses of aged (&gt;24-month-old) wild-type mouse livers showed no fibrosis, but a uniform cellular enlargement compared to young (2-month-old) mouse livers. For an unbiased characterization of aging-driven changes, we used single-nucleus RNA sequencing and found that aged livers had altered cell-cell interactions and hepatocyte zonation with zone-specific transcriptomic changes. Immunostaining confirmed aging-induced expansion of ASS1<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>, CYP2E1<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> and GS<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> hepatic zones, and an aberrant expression of ASS1<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>-GS<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> “bi-zonal” hepatocytes, causing loss of distinct zonation. Mechanistically, this breakdown was associated with downregulation of key zonation regulators (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Ctnnb1</jats:italic>, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Foxo1, Tcf7l2</jats:italic>) and compensatory alterations in Wnt and Rspo3 signaling from NPCs. To assess translational relevance, liver biopsies from young (≤25YO) and aged (&gt;60YO) human donors were analyzed, revealing comparable zonal alterations and supporting the conservation of these aging-associated phenotypes across species. Conclusion: These findings reveal that aging causes loss of distinct hepatic zonation and alters intercellular communication through widespread transcriptional and architectural remodeling of liver cell types. The emergence of bi-zonal hepatocytes and expansion of hepatic zones in aged livers represent key hallmarks of hepatic aging. Our study provides new insights into mechanisms of liver aging and may inform therapeutic strategies targeting age-associated liver dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":177,"journal":{"name":"Hepatology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578390","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}

Previous studies implicated Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) in promoting DRC expansion. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying YB-1-mediated DR and its role in HSC activation. Approach &amp; Results: YB-1 was highly expressed in DRCs in human injured livers. CK19<jats:sup>CreERT</jats:sup> mice were crossed with YB-1<jats:sup>flox/flox</jats:sup> mice to generate DRC-specific YB-1 knockout mice.

Transwell co-culture assay indicated that YB-1/GLI2 axis in DRCs drived HSC activation. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with bioinformatic analyses identified secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as the key molecule linking YB-1/GLI2-mediated DR to HSC activation. SPP1 was highly expressed in human injured livers and interacted with integrins. DRC-specific YB-1 knockout decreased the co-localization of SPP1 and integrin αvβ1 receptors in mouse fibrotic livers. Blocking integrin αvβ1 receptors in HSCs suppressed their activation, which was induced by DRC-derived SPP1. Conclusions: YB-1/GLI2 axis promotes DRC proliferation and SPP1 secretion, which facilitates HSC activation through integrin αvβ1 receptors.

Imaging reports at time of diagnosis of cirrhosis were analyzed using natural language processing and classified in three groups: no ascites, grade 1 (G1) or mild ascites, and grade 2/3 (G2/G3) or overt ascites.
