Immune cells in liver drive fatty liver disease, liver cancer

Posted: at 5:45 pm

Fatty liver disease -- alongside fatty liver due to massive alcohol consumption -- is mainly caused by excessive consumption of fat and sugar combined with a lack of exercise or a sedentary life style. This is referred to as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). If NAFLD becomes chronic -- e.g. through the constant uptake of high lipids and high sugar combined with lack of excercise a chronic inflammatory response is triggered in the liver tissue in addition. This can lead to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) -- a liver disease with clear detectable pathologic alteratons of the tissue.

These liver diseases (NAFLD and NASH), along with chronic viral infections, are the most common causes of liver cancer, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the United States, about 90 million people suffer from NAFLD. In Europe, the figure is more than 40 million, and even in threshold countries like India and China, the number of people affected is rising due to increasingly unhealthy lifestyles. More worrying, in all of the above mentioned states the numbers of NAFLD and NASH patients is constantly increasing. Consequently, the incidence of HCC resulting from NASH and NAFLD is also rising worldwide. In the United States, HCC is the fastest-growing form of cancer at the moment. No efficient causal therapy exists for HCC patients of which approximately 800,000 die every year.

T cells involved in the development of fatty liver disease, NASH and HCC

The mechanisms that cause diseases such as fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis and HCC are still not widely understood. However, immune cells, particularly CD8+ T cells and NK T cells seem to play an important role. This finding was made by a team of scientists led by Prof. Mathias Heikenwlder, Prof. Matthias Tschp, Dr. Kerstin Stemmer, Dr. Kristian Unger, Prof. Ulrike Protzer and the working group of Dr. Hans Zischka from the Helmholtz Zentrum Mnchen together with a team headed by Prof. Percy Knolle of the Technische Universitt Mnchen (TUM), Prof. Achim Weber from Zurich University Hospital and Dr. Monika Wolf, Institute of Surgical Pathology, University Hospital Zurich. The animal model which was used to examine the long-term effects of metabolic syndrome* enabled the scientists to elucidate new mechanisms that cause fatty liver disease and also show how it can develop into liver cancer.

Inflammatory events offer starting point for prevention and treatment

The scientists assume that an existing metabolic imbalance results in the activation and migration of immune cells to the liver. There, the immune cells interact with liver cells and trigger an inflammatory response that damages the liver tissue and also destabilizes the metabolic activity of the liver cells. "Initially it immune cells promote fatty liver degeneration. The inflammation, which is triggered by specific immune cells, encourages the progression of fatty liver pathology and causes NASH to develop. These processes are the basis for liver cell degeneration, which can cause HCC," explains Prof. Heikenwlder, who led the study. "Our results provide completely new insights into the development of these serious liver diseases. Building on this knowledge, we now want to develop new, preventive and therapeutic strategies to combat these diseases." The initial studies are already under way in the preclinical model.

*Metabolic syndrome: a combination of obesity / abdominal adiposity, insulin resistance, raise levels of lipids in the blood and raised blood pressure.

Purdue prof says Ebola ‘primed’ to go airborne

Posted: October 13, 2014 at 4:50 pm

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The first case of Ebola transmitted between patients in America has experts across the country reviewing safety protocols.

At Purdue University, Dr. David Sanders has been studying the virus since 2003 specifically how this particular Zaire strain of Ebola enters human cells.

While the virus has thus far only been shown to be transferred via bodily fluids, Sanders argues that it could become airborne.

"It can enter the lung from the airway side," Sanders said. "So this argues that Ebola is primed to have respiratory transmission.

"We need to be taking this into consideration," he continued. "What if? This is not a crazy, 'What if?' This is not a wild, 'What if?'"

Sanders said the longer the virus spread and mutates, the more likely airborne transmission will become. He also said that's why it's critical to suppress the outbreak in Africa to prevent a worldwide spread.

Sanders said it's impossible to know how many Americans could contract Ebola, or how much longer this outbreak could last. But, he said, the danger is still very low for the average American.

IU hosts Ebola Q & A forum

Indiana University (Bloomington) is planning an educational forum from noon to 1:30 p.m. Monday in WhittenbergerAuditorium in Indiana Memorial Union. If you can't make it in-person, you can watch a live video stream of the forum here.

Find more details on the forum here.

Excercise tests Joint Base medical readiness

The Air Force 579th Medical Group prepared for a potential pandemic influenza outbreak during a medical exercise that culminated with a Central Point of Dispensing (CPOD)/Shot Exercise (SHOTEX) October 1 at the chapel on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB). During the CPOD/SHOTEX, nearly 1,000 active-duty service members, DOD civilians, retirees and dependents were vaccinated against the seasonal influenza.

During a medical exercise that culminated Oct. 1, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) prepared for a potential pandemic influenza outbreak.

JBABs Training and Readiness Division, and the Air Forces 579th Medical Group (579 MDG) led the exercise and the JBAB Installation Training Teams scenario development.

For the past two weeks, weve been conducting an exercise which prepares us to deal with a [potential] novel strain of pandemic flu, said Air Force 1st Lt. Zvi Gruenspecht, medical readiness officer for the 579 MDG.

When a new flu emerges somewhere in the world, it can pose a significant public health threat. In 2009, we saw that happen with H1N1 and theres obviously concern with Avian Influenza, H5N1, where you have flu suddenly working its way through the population worldwide. People get sick, no one has the immunity, and we need to treat or vaccinate huge numbers of people very quickly, Gruenspecht said.

One of the primary objectives of the exercise was testing local and regional communications between the public health emergency preparedness systems at JBAB, the Naval District Washington, 79th Medical Wing, and Air Force District of Washington.

It was the joint operations and communications between the various commands that was one of the two priorities of the exercise, said Tim Trammell, JBABs training and readiness officer.

Trammel continued, The other priorities were to prepare or update plans for a large public health concern, train new personnel in mass vaccination procedures and exercise the plans, execution of the plans for both the newer folks and those who have participated in a prior mass vaccination exercise.

He added, We accomplished all of this during our initial portion of the exercise, then completed it when we provided free flu shots and mist to a large number of people. Of course, the flu shots simulated other vaccinations that may be given for a pandemic situation.
