Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a common infectious disease, in which nuclear covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) plays a key role in viral persistence, viral reactivation after treatment withdrawal, and drug resistance. A recent genome‐wide association study has identified that the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 L3 (UBE2L3) gene is associated with increased susceptibility to chronic HBV...
Blocking hepatic very low‐density lipoprotein secretion through genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (Mttp) causes hepatic steatosis, yet the risks for developing hepatic fibrosis are poorly understood. We report that liver‐specific Mttp knockout mice (Mttp‐LKO) exhibit both steatosis and fibrosis, which is exacerbated by a high‐transfat/fructose diet. When...
Serine palmitoyltransferase is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Mice lacking serine palmitoyltransferase are embryonic lethal. We prepared liver‐specific mice deficient in the serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2 gene using an albumin‐cyclization recombination approach and found that the deficient mice have severe jaundice. Moreover, the deficiency impairs hepatocyte polarity,...
