Abstract
In the hepatis B virus (HBV) transgenic mouse model of chronic infection, the forkhead box protein A/hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 (Foxa/HNF3) family of pioneer transcription factors are required to support postnatal viral demethylation and subsequent HBV transcription and replication. Liver-specific Foxa-deficient mice with hepatic expression of only Foxa3 do not support HBV replication but display biliary epithelial hyperplasia with bridging fibrosis. However, liver-specific Foxa-deficient mice with hepatic expression of only Foxa1 or Foxa2 also successfully restrict viral transcription and replication but display only minimal alterations in liver physiology. These observations suggest that the level of Foxa activity, rather than the combination of specific Foxa genes, is a key determinant of HBV biosynthesis. Together, these findings suggest that targeting Foxa activity could lead to HBV DNA methylation and transcriptional inactivation, resulting in the resolution of chronic HBV infections that are responsible for approximately one million deaths annually worldwide. IMPORTANCE The current absence of curative therapies capable of resolving chronic hepatis B virus (HBV) infection is a major clinical problem associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The small viral genome limits molecular targets for drug development, suggesting that the identification of cellular factors essential for HBV biosynthesis may represent alternative targets for therapeutic intervention. Genetic Foxa deficiency in the neonatal liver of HBV transgenic mice leads to the transcriptional silencing of viral DNA by CpG methylation without affecting viability or displaying an obvious phenotype. Therefore, limiting liver Foxa activity therapeutically may lead to the methylation of viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), resulting in its transcriptional silencing and ultimately the resolution of chronic HBV infection.

Ten-eleven translocation (Tet) methylcytosine dioxygenase-dependent viral DNA demethylation mediates in vivo hepatitis B virus (HBV) biosynthesis. J Virol 2024; 98:e0172123.

Abstract
Liver-specific ten-eleven translocation (Tet) methylcytosine dioxygenases 2 and 3 (Tet2 plus Tet3)-deficient hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mice fail to support viral biosynthesis. The levels of viral transcription and replication intermediates are dramatically reduced. Hepatitis B core antigen is only observed in a very limited number of pericentral hepatocytes in a pattern that is similar to glutamate-ammonia ligase (Glul), a β-catenin target gene. HBV transcript abundance in adult Tet-deficient mice resembles that observed in wild-type neonatal mice. Furthermore, the RNA levels of several β-catenin target genes including Glul, Lhpp, Notun, Oat, Slc1a2, and Tbx3 in Tet-deficient mice were also similar to that observed in wild-type neonatal mice. As HBV transcription is regulated by β-catenin, these findings support the suggestion that neonatal Tet deficiency might limit β-catenin target gene expression, limiting viral biosynthesis. Additionally, HBV transgene DNA displays increased 5-methylcytosine (5mC) frequency at CpG sequences consistent with neonatal Tet deficiency being responsible for decreased developmental viral DNA demethylation mediated by 5mC oxidation to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a process that might be responsible for the reduction in cellular β-catenin target gene expression and viral transcription and replication.IMPORTANCEChronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes significant worldwide morbidity and mortality. There are no curative therapies available to resolve chronic HBV infections, and the small viral genome limits molecular targets for drug development. An alternative approach to drug development is to target cellular genes essential for HBV biosynthesis. In the liver, ten-eleven translocation (Tet) genes encode cellular enzymes that are not essential for postnatal mouse development but represent essential activities for viral DNA demethylation and transcription. Consequently, Tet inhibitors may potentially be developed into therapeutic agents capable of inducing and/or maintaining HBV covalently closed circular DNA methylation, resulting in transcriptional silencing and the resolution of chronic viral infection.

Abstract
Avian leukemia virus subgroup J (ALV-J) causes various diseases associated with tumor formation and decreased fertility and induced immunosuppressive disease, resulting in significant economic losses in the poultry industry globally. Virus usually exploits the host cellular machinery for their replication. Although there are increasing evidences for the cellular proteins involving viral replication, the interaction between ALV-J and host proteins leading to the pivotal steps of viral life cycle are still unclear. Here, we reported that ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase subunit M2 (RRM2) plays a critical role during ALV-J infection by interacting with capsid protein P27 and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. We found that the expression of RRM2 is effectively increased during ALV-J infection, and that RRM2 facilitates ALV-J replication by interacting with viral capsid protein P27. Furthermore, ALV-J P27 activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling by promoting β-catenin entry into the nucleus, and RRM2 activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling by enhancing its phosphorylation at Ser18 during ALV-J infection. These data suggest that the upregulation of RRM2 expression by ALV-J infection favors viral replication in host cells via activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. IMPORTANCE Our results revealed a novel mechanism by which RRM2 facilitates ALV-J growth. That is, the upregulation of RRM2 expression by ALV-J infection favors viral replication by interacting with capsid protein P27 and activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway in host cells. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of serine at position 18 of RRM2 was verified to be the important factor regulating the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. This study provides insights for further studies of the molecular mechanism of ALV-J infection.

Abstract
As blood flows from the portal triad to the central vein, cell-mediated depletion establishes gradients of soluble factors such as oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, which act through molecular pathways (e.g., Wnt/β-catenin, hedgehog) to spatially regulate hepatocyte functions along the sinusoid. Such "zonation" can lead to the compartmentalized initiation of several liver diseases, including alcoholic/non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, chemical/drug-induced toxicity, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and can also modulate liver regeneration. Transgenic rodent models provide valuable information on the key molecular regulators of zonation, while in vitro models allow for subjecting cells to precisely controlled factor gradients and elucidating species-specific differences in zonation. Here, we discuss the latest advances in both in vivo and in vitro models of liver zonation and pending questions to be addressed moving forward. Ultimately, obtaining a deeper understanding of zonation can lead to the development of more effective therapeutics for liver diseases, microphysiological systems, and scalable cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Chronic HBV infection is a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. The phenotypes of HCC are diverse, in part, due to mutations in distinct oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes. These genetic drivers of HCC development have generally been considered as major mediators of tumor heterogeneity. Using the liver-specific Pten-null HBV transgenic mouse model of chronic viral infection, a critical role for liver lobule zone-specific gene expression patterns in determining HCC phenotype and β-catenin-dependent HBV biosynthesis is demonstrated. These observations suggest that the position of the hepatocyte within the liver lobule, and hence its intrinsic gene expression pattern at the time of cellular transformation, make critical contributions to the properties of the resulting liver tumor. These results may explain why therapies targeting pathways modulated by specific identified tumor driver genes display variable treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing and treating liver cancer require fundamental research on its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents of tumor tissues, making them a must-have for basic research on the nature of cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell lines retain most genetic properties of the original tumor and mimic its microenvironment. On the other hand, modern technologies allowing the deepest level of detail in omics landscapes have shown significant differences even between samples of the same cell line due to cross- and mycoplasma infection. This and other observations suggest that, in some cases, cell cultures are not suitable as cancer models, with limited predictive value for the effectiveness of new treatments. HepG2 is a popular hepatic cell line. It is used in a wide range of studies, from the oncogenesis to the cytotoxicity of substances on the liver. In this regard, we set out to collect up-to-date information on the HepG2 cell line to assess whether the level of heterogeneity of the cell line allows in vitro biomedical studies as a model with guaranteed production and quality.

Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing and treating liver cancer require fundamental research on its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents of tumor tissues, making them a must-have for basic research on the nature of cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell lines retain most genetic properties of the original tumor and mimic its microenvironment. On the other hand, modern technologies allowing the deepest level of detail in omics landscapes have shown significant differences even between samples of the same cell line due to cross- and mycoplasma infection. This and other observations suggest that, in some cases, cell cultures are not suitable as cancer models, with limited predictive value for the effectiveness of new treatments. HepG2 is a popular hepatic cell line. It is used in a wide range of studies, from the oncogenesis to the cytotoxicity of substances on the liver. In this regard, we set out to collect up-to-date information on the HepG2 cell line to assess whether the level of heterogeneity of the cell line allows in vitro biomedical studies as a model with guaranteed production and quality.

Abstract
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Representing such a dramatic impact on our lives, liver cancer is a significant public health concern. Sustainable and reliable methods for preventing and treating liver cancer require fundamental research on its molecular mechanisms. Cell lines are treated as in vitro equivalents of tumor tissues, making them a must-have for basic research on the nature of cancer. According to recent discoveries, certified cell lines retain most genetic properties of the original tumor and mimic its microenvironment. On the other hand, modern technologies allowing the deepest level of detail in omics landscapes have shown significant differences even between samples of the same cell line due to cross- and mycoplasma infection. This and other observations suggest that, in some cases, cell cultures are not suitable as cancer models, with limited predictive value for the effectiveness of new treatments. HepG2 is a popular hepatic cell line. It is used in a wide range of studies, from the oncogenesis to the cytotoxicity of substances on the liver. In this regard, we set out to collect up-to-date information on the HepG2 cell line to assess whether the level of heterogeneity of the cell line allows in vitro biomedical studies as a model with guaranteed production and quality.
