Article Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a devastating malignancy characterized by aggressive tumor growth and limited treatment options. Dysregulation of the Hippo signaling pathway and its downstream effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP), has been implicated in CCA development and progression. In this study, we investigated the effects of Isoalantolactone (IALT) on CCA cells to elucidate its effect on YAP activity and its potential clinical significance. Our findings demonstrate that IALT exerts cytotoxic effects, induces apoptosis, and modulates YAP signaling in SNU478 cells. We further confirmed the involvement of the canonical Hippo pathway by generating LATS1/LATS2 knockout cells, highlighting the dependence of IALT-mediated apoptosis and YAP phosphorylation on the Hippo-LATS signaling axis. In addition, IALT suppressed cell growth and migration, partially dependent on YAP-TEAD activity. These results provide insights into the therapeutic potential of targeting YAP in CCA and provide a rationale for developing of YAP-targeted therapies for this challenging malignancy.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), linked to lipid dysregulation, poses global health risks. 2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB138) is a persistent organic pollutant that poses potential threats to liver health due to its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. Theabrown (TB), a natural compound extracted from black tea, exhibits lipid-lowering and antioxidant properties, but its protective effects on PCB138-induced liver injury have not been thoroughly investigated.

Background: The cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47)-signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) axis is a key regulator of innate immune surveillance, facilitating the neoplastic evasion of macrophage-mediated phagocytosis. Although this pathway has been implicated in tumor immune escape in multiple malignancies, its clinical and prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain to be fully elucidated.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 100 patients who underwent esophagectomy for resectable ESCC.

Gut-derived metabolites are essential for liver fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to determine the alteration of indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), a crucial tryptophan metabolite, in liver fibrosis and delineate the roles of enterogenic IPA in fibrogenesis. In the present study, metabolomics assays focused on tryptophan metabolism were applied to explore the decreased levels of IPA in the feces and serum of cirrhotic patients, as well as in the feces and portal vein serum of fibrotic mice.

Skin scar formation is a critical pathological process in wound healing, but its underlying regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. By integrating analyses of Bulk-RNA seq and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, we identified that ferroptosis-related biological processes potentially play a key role in skin scar formation. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that in human dermal fibroblast cells, the ferroptosis regulator TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) significantly promotes fibroblast differentiation toward a mature phenotype through interactions with cystatin C (CST3), characterized by upregulated expression of myofibroblast differentiation markers such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), along with enhanced cell proliferation and migration abilities.
