Hemoglobin scavenger receptor CD163 as a potential biomarker of hemolysis-induced hepatobiliary injury in sickle cell disease.
Article in American journal of physiology. Cell physiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD)-associated chronic hemolysis promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and thrombosis leading to organ damage, including liver damage. Hemoglobin scavenger receptor CD163 plays a protective role in SCD by scavenging both hemoglobin-haptoglobin complexes and cell-free hemoglobin. A limited number of studies in the past have shown a positive correlation of CD163 expression with poor disease outcomes in patients with SCD. However, the role and regulation of CD163 in SCD-related hepatobiliary injury have not been fully elucidated yet. Here we show that chronic liver injury in SCD patients is associated with elevated levels of hepatic membrane-bound CD163. Hemolysis and increase in hepatic heme, hemoglobin, and iron levels elevate CD163 expression in the SCD mouse liver. Mechanistically we show that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) positively regulates membrane-bound CD163 expression independent of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) signaling in SCD liver. We further demonstrate that the interaction between CD163 and HO-1 is not dependent on CD163-hemoglobin binding. These findings indicate that CD163 is a potential biomarker of SCD-associated hepatobiliary injury. Understanding the role of HO-1 in membrane-bound CD163 regulation may help identify novel therapeutic targets for hemolysis-induced chronic liver injury.
