Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress induces hepatocarcinogenesis in terms of cellular signaling and mitochondria quality control. Oxidative stress modified cellular signaling for glycolysis and apoptosis through activation of several kinase. These changes were cancelled by antioxidant, N-acetyl cysteine. Mitochondria is the main site of ROS production. Therefore, mitochondria quality control is critical for controlling oxidative stress. We found that iron loss reduces the development of liver tumors in NASH-rerlated hepatocarcinogenic mouse model through induction of mitochondria quality control.
