    Abstract The apoptotic intrinsic pathway is initiated by perforation of the mitochondrial outer membrane by the effector pro-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family, Bax and Bak. Bax and Bak need to be activated, a process facilitated by the action of BH3-only pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. The latter either directly activates the effector proteins or antagonizes the action of pro-survival Bcl-2 family members such as Bcl-x

    Abstract The nuclear envelope is composed of the nuclear membranes, nuclear lamina, and nuclear pore complexes. Laminopathies are diseases caused by mutations in genes encoding protein components of the lamina and these other nuclear envelope substructures. Mutations in the single gene encoding lamin A and C, which are expressed in most differentiated somatic cells, cause diseases affecting striated muscle, adipose tissue, peripheral nerve, and multiple systems with features of accelerated aging. Mutations in genes encoding other nuclear envelope proteins also cause an array of diseases that selectively affect different tissues or organs. In some instances, the molecular and cellular consequences of laminopathy-causing mutations are known. However, even when these are understood, mechanisms explaining specific tissue or organ pathology remain enigmatic. Current mechanistic hypotheses focus on how alterations in the nuclear envelope may affect gene expression, including via the regulation of signaling pathways, or cellular mechanics, including responses to mechanical stress.

    Abstract Background and aims: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global threat, affecting more than 100 million people and causing over 2 million deaths. Liver laboratory test abnormalities are an extrapulmonary manifestation of COVID-19, yet characterization of hepatic injury is incomplete. Our objective was to further characterize and identify causes of liver injury in patients with COVID-19.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 551 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020. We analyzed patient demographics, liver laboratory test results, vital signs, other relevant test results, and clinical outcomes (mortality and intensive care unit admission).
    Results: Abnormal liver laboratory tests were common on hospital admission for COVID-19 and the incidence increased during hospitalization. Of those with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase and/or alkaline phosphatase activities on admission, 58.2% had a cholestatic injury pattern, 35.2% mixed, and 6.6% hepatocellular. Comorbid liver disease was not associated with outcome; however, abnormal direct bilirubin or albumin on admission were associated with intensive care unit stay and mortality. On average, patients who died had greater magnitudes of abnormalities in all liver laboratory tests than those who survived. Ischemic hepatitis was a mechanism of severe hepatocellular injury in some patients.
    Conclusions: Liver laboratory test abnormalities are common in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, and some are associated with increased odds of intensive care unit stay or death. Severe hepatocellular injury is likely attributable to secondary effects such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and ischemic hepatitis.

    Abstract Background and aim: While many studies have reported on liver injury in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), none have specifically addressed the significance of hepatic jaundice. We aimed to determine the clinical consequences and etiologies of jaundice in patients with COVID-19.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical features, laboratory abnormalities, and rates of survival and intensive care unit admission in 551 patients with COVID-19, hospitalized between 1 March 2020, and 31 May 2020 at a tertiary care academic medical center. Hepatic jaundice was defined as a serum total bilirubin concentration >2.5 mg/dL and a direct bilirubin concentration >0.3 mg/dL that was >25% of the total. Liver injury was characterized as cholestatic, mixed, or hepatocellular at the time of peak serum total bilirubin concentration by calculating the R factor.
    Results: Hepatic jaundice was present in 49 (8.9%) patients and associated with a mortality rate of 40.8% and intensive care unit admission rate of 69.4%, both significantly higher than for patients without jaundice. Jaundiced patients had an increased frequency of fever, leukopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hypotension, hypoxemia, elevated serum creatinine concentration, elevated serum procalcitonin concentration, and sepsis. Nine jaundiced patients had isolated hyperbilirubinemia. Of the 40 patients with abnormally elevated serum alanine aminotransferase or alkaline phosphatase activities, 62.5% had a cholestatic, 20.0% mixed, and 17.5% hepatocellular pattern of liver injury.
    Conclusion: Hepatic jaundice in patients with COVID-19 is associated with high mortality. The main etiologies of liver dysfunction leading to jaundice appear to be sepsis, severe systemic inflammation, and hypoxic/ischemic hepatitis.
