Longitudinal Assessment of Bile Duct Loss in Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Julian Hercun, Mazen Noureddin, Nabil Noureddin, Jason Eccleston, Daniel Woolridge, T. Jake Liang, Michele Tana, David E. Kleiner, Gracia Viana Rodriguez, Christopher Koh, Jay H. Hoofnagle, Theo Heller

Summary: This study evaluated the involvement of bile duct and disease progression in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and found that bile duct injury does not follow the same course as fibrosis, and certain indicators are associated with ductopenia progression.

Unique DUOX2(+)ACE2(+) small cholangiocytes are pathogenic targets for primary biliary cholangitis

Xi Li, Yan Li, Jintao Xiao, Huiwen Wang, Yan Guo, Xiuru Mao, Pan Shi, Yanliang Hou, Xiaoxun Zhang, Nan Zhao, Minghua Zheng, Yonghong He, Jingjing Ding, Ya Tan, Min Liao, Ling Li, Ying Peng, Xuan Li, Qiong Pan, Qiaoling Xie, Qiao Li, Jianwei Li, Ying Li, Zhe Chen, Yongxiu Huang, David N. Assis, Shi-Ying Cai, James L. Boyer, Xuequan Huang, Can-E Tang, Xiaowei Liu, Shifang Peng, Jin Chai

Summary: The numbers of DUOX2(+)ACE2(+) small cholangiocytes are inversely associated with disease severity in PBC. They may be the target of pIgR-mediated humoral responses. Protecting these cells and targeting anti-pIgR autoantibodies could be valuable strategies for therapeutic interventions in PBC.

Telomere dysfunction promotes cholangiocyte senescence and biliary fibrosis in primary sclerosing cholangitis

Nidhi Jalan-Sakrikar, Abid Anwar, Usman Yaqoob, Can Gan, Anthony B. Lagnado, Alexander Q. Wixom, Diana Jurk, Robert C. Huebert

Summary: This study investigated the mechanistic relationship between telomere damage and biliary fibrosis in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The results showed telomere attrition and reduced telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression in patients with PSC. Cellular models demonstrated that telomere dysfunction can lead to senescence and fibrosis, which can be rescued by modulating TERT levels.

The Serum Proteome and Ursodeoxycholic Acid Response in Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Ben Barron-Millar, Laura Ogle, George Mells, Steven Flack, Jonathan Badrock, Richard Sandford, John Kirby, Jeremy Palmer, Laura Jopson, John Brain, Graham R. Smith, Steve Rushton, Vinod S. Hegade, Rebecca Jones, Simon Rushbrook, Douglas Thorburn, Steve Ryder, Gideon Hirschfield, Jessica K. Dyson, David E. J. Jones

Summary: The UK-PBC study aimed to explore the biological basis of UDCA nonresponse in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and identified a set of serum chemokines potentially related to cellular senescence with significant differential expression between responders and nonresponders. These proteins have the potential to serve as biomarkers for high-risk disease identification and should be further evaluated for their clinical utility in prospective studies.

Joint Analysis of Genetic Correlation, Mendelian Randomization and Colocalization Highlights the Bi-Directional Causal Association Between Hypothyroidism and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis

Yanjun Wang, Ping Guo, Yanan Zhang, Lu Liu, Ran Yan, Zhongshang Yuan, Yongfeng Song

Summary: The study found evidence for a bidirectional causal association between hypothyroidism and primary biliary cirrhosis, with strong genetic correlation and consistent results from other analytical methods. Colocalization analysis indicated shared causal variants between the two conditions, highlighting the robustness of the findings.

Hematologic traits and primary biliary cholangitis: a Mendelian randomization study

Bin Ke, Chunyu Li, Huifang Shang

Summary: Hematologic abnormalities are associated with the susceptibility of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), but whether there is a causal association is still unclear. In this study, we conducted analyses to explore the causative role of hematological traits in the risk of PBC. The results showed that genetically higher hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are associated with a reduced risk of PBC, providing potential targets for disease prevention and treatment.

Ursodeoxycholic Acid Decreases Incidence of Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Biliary Complications After Liver Transplantation: A Meta-Analysis

Mark R. Pedersen, Garrett Greenan, Sumant Arora, Arvind R. Murali, Marlyn J. Mayo

Summary: UDCA after LT reduces the odds of BC and bile stones and sludge in all-comer LT recipients and reduces or delays the incidence of rPBC in patients transplanted for PBC. UDCA use after LT could be considered in all LT recipients to reduce the odds of BC and may be particularly beneficial for patients transplanted for PBC by reducing the incidence of rPBC.

Bioinformatic analysis identified novel candidate genes with the potentials for diagnostic blood testing of primary biliary cholangitis

Hoang Nam Pham, Linh Pham, Keisaku Sato

Summary: This study identified candidate genes associated with PBC status and potential for blood diagnostic testing by analyzing gene expression data from liver and blood samples. The results showed that these candidate genes were upregulated in liver tissues and blood samples of PBC patients, and were closely related to autoimmune diseases. ITGAL, in particular, showed good potential to distinguish PBC from other diseases. However, further clinical studies are needed to evaluate the potential of these candidate genes as diagnostic biomarkers.

The protease-inhibitor SerpinB3 as a critical modulator of the stem-like subset in human cholangiocarcinoma

Margherita Correnti, Andrea Cappon, Mirella Pastore, Benedetta Piombanti, Giulia Lori, Douglas V. P. N. Oliveira, Patricia Munoz-Garrido, Monika Lewinska, Jesper B.

Summary: The study indicates a crucial role of SerpinB3 (SB3) in mediating the malignant phenotype of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and identifies it as a new therapeutic target. Overexpression of SB3 in the stem-like subset of tumor cells is associated with enhanced sphere-forming capacity, invasion ability, and poor prognosis in both mouse models and human CCA patients. These findings suggest SB3 as a potential target for future CCA therapies.

Summary: The study revealed unique epitopes in human PDC-E2 distinct from E. coli PDC-E2, suggesting a possible link between specific antibodies to ePDC-E2 and the development of PBC. Additionally, it was found that lipoic acid affects the conformation of ePDC-E2 and AMA recognition, potentially leading to the formation of anti-mitochondrial antibodies.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of music-oriented and conventional education plans on rhythmic perceptive capacity, motor creativity, and skill- and health-related fitness components in young students. The results reveal that the music-oriented education plan significantly enhances motor creativity and competence in elementary and middle school students, particularly in balance and jumping-like activities. Additionally, the music-oriented experience seems to play a relevant role in expressing and exhibiting motor competence in relation to sex.
