RNA-RNA interactions between SARS-CoV-2 and host benefit viral development and evolution during COVID-19 infection

Song Zhang, Kuerbannisha Amahong, Chenyang Zhang, Fengcheng Li, Jianqing Gao, Yunqing Qiu, Feng Zhu

Summary: This study demonstrates that the genomic RNA of SARS-CoV-2 can absorb host miRNAs that regulate immune-related genes, suggesting that this may be a crucial mechanism for the virus to survive and develop in the host. By analyzing miRNA datasets and identifying enriched immune-related pathways and protein-protein interactions, the study reveals an imbalance in the host immune response caused by the absorption of SARS-CoV-2 to host miRNAs, with implications for infection and pathogenesis. Additionally, the study finds that the absorption of host miRNAs by SARS-CoV-2 may contribute to the increased infectivity and pathogenicity of certain mutant strains.

Gut microbiota and bile acids partially mediate the improvement of fibroblast growth factor 21 on methionine-choline-deficient diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mice

Danfeng Lin, Qiyan Sun, Zhaoyang Liu, Jiaxuan Pan, Jing Zhu, Shangwen Wang, Sining Jia, Minghua Zheng, Xiaokun Li, Fanghua Gong

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis, and gut dysbiosis. The study found that fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has a positive effect on treating NAFLD by modulating gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. Fecal microbiota composition and bile acid profiles were analyzed in NAFLD patients and healthy participants. In NAFLD mice, FGF21 reduced liver damage and restored intestinal structure, accompanied by changes in gut microbiota composition and regulation of dysbiosis in bile acid metabolism. Antibiotic treatment and fecal microbiota transplantation further confirmed the benefits of FGF21. The findings suggest that targeting gut microbiota-regulated bile acid metabolism may be a potential therapeutic approach for improving NAFLD.

Hepatocytic ballooning in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: Dilemmas and future directions

Yang-Yang Li, Tian-Lei Zheng, Shu-Yuan Xiao, Peng Wang, Wen-Jun Yang, Li-Lin Jiang, Li-Li Chen, Jun-Cheng Sha, Yi Jin, Sui-Dan Chen, Christopher D. Byrne, Giovanni Targher, Jian-Min Li, Ming-Hua Zheng

Summary: Hepatocytic ballooning is a crucial histological feature in the diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and poses diagnostic challenges, as it can be mistaken for cellular edema and microvesicular steatosis. Inter-observer variability exists in assessing the presence and severity of hepatocytic ballooning. This review discusses the underlying mechanisms, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, unfolded protein response, intermediate filament cytoskeleton rearrangement, appearance of Mallory-Denk bodies, and activation of the sonic Hedgehog pathway, and explores the use of artificial intelligence for detection and interpretation of hepatocytic ballooning.

Tsochatzis, Francesca Vinchi, Ming-Hua Zheng, Heinz Zoller

Summary: Hyperferritinaemia is often associated with metabolic dysfunction and fatty liver and is linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic and liver diseases. The main determinants of ferritin levels in individuals with metabolic dysfunction are genetic variants that affect iron metabolism. However, there is currently a lack of validated criteria for the diagnosis and staging of metabolic hyperferritinaemia, and the benefits of iron depletion therapy remain unclear. In this article, the authors provide an overview of the relationship between hyperferritinaemia and iron accumulation in individuals with metabolic dysfunction and propose updated definitions and staging systems, highlighting research gaps and suggesting future study designs and outcome measures.
