Genome-Scale Metabolic Modeling Reveals Sequential Dysregulation of Glutathione Metabolism in Livers from Patients with Alcoholic Hepatitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is the most severe form of alcoholic liver disease for which there is no efficacious treatment aiding most patients. AH manifests differently in individuals, with some patients showing debilitating symptoms more so than others. Previous studies showed significant metabolic dysregulation associated with AH. Therefore, we sought to analyze how the activity of metabolic pathways differed in the liver of patients with varying degrees of AH severity. We utilized a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that allowed for integration of a generic human cellular metabolic model with specific RNA-seq data corresponding to healthy and multiple liver disease states to predict the metabolic fluxes within each disease state. Additionally, we performed a systems-level analysis of the transcriptomic data and predicted metabolic flux data to identify the regulatory and functional differences in liver metabolism with increasing severity of AH. Our results provide unique insights into the sequential dysregulation of the solute transport mechanisms underlying the glutathione metabolic pathway with increasing AH disease severity. We propose targeting of the solute transporters in the glutathione pathway to mimic the flux activity of the healthy liver state as a potential therapeutic intervention for AH.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
