Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of primary liver cancer, is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide1,2. HCC occurs typically from a background of chronic liver disease, caused by a spectrum of predisposing conditions. Tumour development is driven by the expansion of clones that accumulate progressive driver mutations3, with hepatocytes the most likely cell of origin2.

Patient samples and immunohistochemistry (IHC) Archived diagnostic formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsies with pathologically confirmed HCC were obtained from our own biobank, including patients diagnosed between 2002 and 2018, who consented to the use of their tissues surplus to diagnostic requirements for research purposes (project ID: 116370).

Abstract Acetaminophen overdose is one of the leading causes of acute liver failure and liver transplantation in the Western world. Magnesium is essential in several cellular processess. The Cyclin M family is involved in magnesium transport across cell membranes. Herein, we identify that among all magnesium transporters, only Cyclin M4 expression is upregulated in the liver of patients with acetaminophen overdose, with disturbances in magnesium serum levels.
