Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism and target therapy NAFLD-HCC are still unclear. Here, we identify that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase METTL3 promotes NAFLD-HCC. Hepatocyte-specific Mettl3 knockin exacerbated formation, while knockout exerted opposite effect in mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed suppressed antitumor immune response by reducing granzyme B (GZMB+) interferon gamma-positive (IFN-γ+) CD8+ T cell infiltration, thereby facilitating escape. Mechanistically, mediates sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating (SCAP) mRNA m6A to promote its translation, leading activation cholesterol biosynthesis. This enhanced secretion cholesteryl esters impair function tumor microenvironment. Targeting single-guide RNA, nanoparticle small interfering (siRNA), or pharmacological inhibitor (STM2457) combination with anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) synergized reinvigorate cytotoxic cells mediate regression. Together, a therapeutic NAFLD-HCC, especially conjunction checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes a range of hepatic manifestations, starting with steatosis and potentially evolving towards non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis or even hepatocellular carcinoma. NAFLD is major health burden, its incidence increasing worldwide. Although it primarily disturbed metabolism, involves several immune cell-mediated inflammatory processes, particularly when reaching the stage NASH, at which point inflammation becomes integral to progression disease. The cell landscape diverse steady state further evolves during NASH direct consequences for severity. In this Review, we discuss current concepts related role cells in onset NASH.

Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the gut microbiome influences response to checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) in patients with cancer. CBM588 is a bifidogenic live bacterial product we postulated could augment CPI through modulation of microbiome. In this open-label, single-center study (NCT03829111), 30 treatment-naive metastatic renal cell carcinoma clear and/or sarcomatoid histology and intermediate- or poor-risk disease were randomized 2:1 receive nivolumab ipilimumab without daily oral CBM588, respectively. Stool metagenomic sequencing was performed at multiple timepoints.

Abstract Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main metabolites produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fibre in gastrointestinal tract. The absorption SCFAs is mediated substrate transporters, such as monocarboxylate transporter 1 and sodium-coupled 1, which promote cellular metabolism. An increasing number studies have implicated microorganisms crucial executors diet-based microbial influence on host. important fuels for intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) represent a major carbon flux from diet, that decomposed gut microbiota. play vital role multiple molecular biological processes, promoting secretion glucagon-like peptide-1 IECs to inhibit elevation blood glucose, expression G protein-coupled receptors GPR41 GPR43, inhibiting histone deacetylases, participate regulation proliferation, differentiation, function IECs. affect motility, barrier function, host Furthermore, regulatory roles local, intermediate, peripheral metabolisms.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic worldwide. NAFLD begins as a relatively benign hepatic steatosis which can evolve to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) increases when fibrosis present. represents complex process implicating numerous factors—genetic, metabolic, dietary—intertwined in multi-hit etiopathogenetic model. Recent data have highlighted role gut dysbiosis, may render bowel more permeable, leading increased free acid absorption, bacterial migration, parallel release toxic products, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), proinflammatory cytokines that initiate sustain inflammation. Although dysbiosis present each stage, there currently no single microbial signature distinguish or predict patients will from NASH HCC.
