Either deficiency or excess of trace elements, including selenium, iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium can lead to pregnancy complications. As a rare disorder during pregnancy of unknown aetiology, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) poses a significant risk to the fetus of perinatal mortality.

Exosomes from Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy Induce Cell Apoptosis Through the miRNA-6891-5p/YWHAE Pathway
ConclusionsThis study indicates that serum exosomes from ICP patients can impact the apoptosis of placental trophoblast HTR-8/SVeno cells through the miR-6891-5P/YWHAE pathway and can serve as specific molecular markers for ICP diagnosis.Graphical Abstract (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Molecular basis of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 3. A proteomics study
Proteomics analysis provides a detailed molecular landscape of PFIC3, pointing to several drivers of the progression of the disease that might prove useful for the management of patients. AbstractProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is a severe rare liver disease that affects between 1/50,000 and 1/100,000 children. In physiological conditions, bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, and then it flows to the small intestine to play its role in fat digestion. To prevent tissue damage, bile acids (BAs) are kept in phospholipid micelles. Mutations in phosphatidyl choline transporte...

Genetic cholestasis in children and adults
Bile is produced in hepatocytes and flows to the duodenum. Cholestasis can ensue when there is either a reduction in bile flow or obstruction at any level. Proteins, including nuclear receptors, hepatobiliary transporters and structural proteins, are vital for the transport of biliary constituents and maintenance of the stability of the canalicular membrane and tight  junctions. Variants in genes encoding these proteins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cholestasis, predominantly intrahepatic cholestasis with retention of bile acids within the liver.

Pediatric Cholestatic Diseases: Common and Unique Pathogenic Mechanisms
Annu Rev Pathol. 2024 Jan 24;19:319-344. doi: 10.1146/annurev-pathmechdis-031521-025623.ABSTRACTCholestasis is the predominate feature of many pediatric hepatobiliary diseases. The physiologic flow of bile requires multiple complex processes working in concert. Bile acid (BA) synthesis and excretion, the formation and flow of bile, and the enterohepatic reuptake of BAs all function to maintain the circulation of BAs, a key molecule in lipid digestion, metabolic and cellular signaling, and, as discussed in the review, a crucial mediator in the pathogenesis of cholestasis. Disruption of one or several of these steps can resu...
