[PMID: 35523403 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2022.109360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress has an important role in determining severe damage to the liver, including steatosis. Curcumin (CUR) is a natural polyphenol compound with antioxidant potential but its mechanism is still unclear. In this study, 2% ethanol (ETH) was used to establish a liver injury model in Tg (fabp10: Ps Red) transgenic zebrafish with the fluorescent liver. Ethanol-treated zebrafish had an increased vacuole rate at 144 h post-fertilization (hpf), thus confirming the effectiveness of the proposed model in inducing liver damage. However, when ethanol was submitted to co-exposure with curcumin, fluorescence area and signal intensity, as well as vacuole rate, were similar to the levels found in the control group. RNA-seq results showed that ethanol and CUR affected the regulation of catalytic activity and phenylalanine metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, and arginine and proline metabolism signaling pathways. QRT-PCR analysis also showed that treatment with CUR led to the downregulation of genes involved in the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway and altered the expression pattern of genes related to glutathione metabolism (gsr, gpx1a, gstp1, gsto1, and idh1a). CUR also induced an increase in GSH content and recovered decreased GSH caused by ethanol exposure. The findings discussed herein indicate that CUR can promote glutathione synthesis, which aided in the recovery from ethanol-induced liver damage in zebrafish larvae.

Abstract
In recent years, n-butanol has growing use in many areas, including the food industry. In this study, acute toxic effects of n-butanol to zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae by applying different concentrations (10, 50, 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 mg/L) to embryos were evaluated. For this purpose the data of oxidative stress, antioxidant - acetyl cholinesterase enzyme activities, malondialdehyde level and apoptosis were taken into consideration. At the end of the 96 h, antioxidant (Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme activities were decreased, however lipid peroxidation level, apoptotic cells, and reactive oxygen species increased (p < .05). As a result, it has been observed that high concentrations of n-butanol with its amphiphilic structure causes quite intense toxic effects in zebrafish embryos.

Abstract
Background: Chronic alcohol consumption is a major cause of liver injury. However, the molecular mechanisms by which alcohol impairs hepatocellular function and induces cell death remain unclear. Macroautophagy (hereafter called 'autophagy') is a degradation pathway involved in the survival or death of cells during conditions of cellular stress. This study examines the effect of chronic alcohol consumption on hepatocellular autophagy in an animal model. Methods: During a 12-week period male Wistar rats were fed a Lieber-DeCarli diet containing 5% alcohol (EtOH group; n=10), or an isocaloric diet (control group; n=10). Hepatic expression of key regulatory autophagy proteins (e.g. Beclin-1, ATG-3, ATG-5, p62/SQSTM1 and LC3) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Markers of cellular stress and apoptotic cell death (e.g. HO-1, caspase-3, PARP-1 and Bcl-2) were determined, and levels of reduced and oxidized glutathione were measured. Results: Chronic alcohol consumption caused cellular and oxidative stress in the liver. Transcriptional and translational expression of Beclin-1 and ATG-5 was significantly impaired. The protein expression of LC3-I and LC3-II was significantly increased, while the ratio of LC3I/II remained unchanged in the EtOH group compared with controls. Hepatocellular expression of p62/SQSTM1 and markers of apoptotic cell death (such as cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP-1) were significantly increased in the EtOH group indicating a disrupted autophagic flux and increased rate of apoptosis in the liver. Conclusions: In this model, chronic alcohol consumption impaired hepatocellular autophagy and induced apoptotic cell death. It appears that changes in autophagy might contribute to alcohol-induced structural and functional hepatocellular injury.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a liver malignancy and a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. AURKA (aurora kinase A) is a mitotic serine/threonine kinase that functions as an oncogene and plays a critical role in hepatocarcinogenesis. We report on the association between 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the AURKA gene (rs1047972, rs2273535, rs2064836, and rs6024836) and HCC susceptibility as well as clinical outcomes in 312 patients with HCC and in 624 cancer-free controls. We found that carriers of the TT allele of the variant rs1047972 were at greater risk of HCC compared with wild-type (CC) carriers. Moreover, carriers of at least one A allele in rs2273535 were less likely to progress to stage III/IV disease, develop large tumors or be classified into Child-Pugh class B or C. Individuals with at least one G allele at AURKA SNP rs2064863 were at lower risk of developing large tumors or progressing to Child-Pugh grade B or C. Our results indicate that genetic variations in the AURKA gene may serve as an important predictor of early-stage HCC and be a reliable biomarker for the development of HCC.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a liver malignancy and a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP-11), also known as stromelysin-3, plays a critical role during tumor migration, invasion and metastasis. Here, we report on the association between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - rs738791, rs2267029, rs738792, rs28382575, and rs131451 - of the MMP-11 gene and HCC susceptibility, as well as clinical outcomes, in 293 patients with HCC and in 586 cancer-free controls. We found that carriers of the CT+TT allele of the rs738791 variant were at greater risk of HCC compared with wild-type (CC) carriers. Moreover, carriers of at least one C allele (C/T+C/C genotype) at the MMP-11 SNP rs738792 were likely to progress to Child-Pugh B or C grade, while individuals with at least one C allele (C/T+C/C genotype) at the MMP-11 SNP rs28382575 were at higher risk of developing stage III/IV disease, large tumors or lymph node metastasis. We believe that genetic variations in the MMP-11 gene may help to predict early-stage HCC and act as reliable biomarkers for HCC progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic alcohol intake associated with an inappropriate diet can cause lesions in multiple organs and tissues and complicate the tissue repair process. In a systematic review, we analyzed the relevance of alcohol and high fat consumption to cutaneous and repair, compared the main methodologies used and the most important parameters tested. Preclinical investigations with murine models were assessed to analyze whether the current evidence support clinical trials. METHODS The studies were selected from MEDLINE/PubMed and Scopus databases, according to Fig 1. All 15 identified articles had their data extracted. The reporting bias was investigated according to the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of in Vivo Experiments) strategy. RESULTS In general, animals offered a high-fat diet and alcohol showed decreased cutaneous wound closure, delayed skin contraction, chronic inflammation and incomplete re-epithelialization. CONCLUSION In further studies, standardized experimental design is needed to establish comparable study groups and advance the overall knowledge background, facilitating data translatability from animal models to human clinical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Human WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in multiple cancers. We hypothesize that genetic variations in WWOX are associated with HCC risk. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the WWOX gene were evaluated from 708 normal controls and 354 patients with HCC. We identified a significant association between a WWOX single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs73569323, and decreased risk of HCC. After adjustment for potential confounders, patients with at least one T allele at rs11545028 of WWOX may have a significantly smaller tumor size, reduced levels of α-fetoprotein and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Moreover, the A allele at SNP rs12918952 in WWOX conferred higher risk of vascular invasion. Additional in silico analysis also suggests that WWOX rs12918952 polymorphism tends to affect WWOX expression, which in turn contributes to tumor vascular invasion. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, genetic variations in WWOX may be a significant predictor of early HCC occurrence and a reliable biomarker for disease progression.
