UW supplementation with AP39 improves liver viability following static cold storage by McLean Taggart, Saige Holkup, Alexandra Tchir, Mohammadreza Mojoudi, Arnaud Lyon, Madeeha Hassan, Christopher Taveras, Ozge Sila Ozgur, James F. Markmann, Heidi Yeh, Korkut Uygun, Alban Longchamp

“…Abstract Static cold storage of donor livers at 4 °C incompletely arrests metabolism, ultimately leading to decreases in ATP levels, oxidative stress, cell death, and organ failure. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced gas, previously demonstrated to reduce oxidative stress, reduce ATP depletion, and protect from ischemia and reperfusion injury. …”

Diacylglycerol kinase alpha regulates post-hepatectomy liver regeneration by Hiroki Nakamoto, Shunsuke Shichi, Chisato Shirakawa, Takuto Suzuki, Hidemitsu Kitamura, Akinobu Taketomi

“…Furthermore, they exhibit impaired glycogen and lipid consumption, low liver energy charge, and hepatocyte hypertrophy disorder, accompanied by significantly reduced liver expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and cyclin D. We conclude that DGKα is a key molecule in the post-PH liver regeneration process and may have potential as a therapeutic target for the acceleration of liver regeneration.…”
