The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $537,587 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to conduct research on the metabolic consequences of liver inflammation on alcohol consumption and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The key objectives are to identify the mechanisms by which the transcription factor IRF3 suppresses the expression and secretion of the metabolic regulator...
This Project Grant award of $1,158,934.00 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), will fund research to understand the mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamics, quality control, and mitochondrial DNA-mediated inflammation in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The key objectives are to investigate how chronically accumulated megamitochondria in the liver promote the release of mitochondrial DNA and activation of...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $1,547,718 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The project will investigate the role of KDM5 demethylases in regulating cell-cell communication in the development and resolution of alcohol-associated liver disease. Specifically, the research aims to determine how KDM5B and KDM5C...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research to examine the role of non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) in driving the key features of Alcohol Associated Hepatitis (AAH) in a fully humanized mouse liver model. The $688,199 award to Yale University will fund research over a 5-year period from June 1, 2025 to February 28, 2030. The research aims to elucidate the NPC-derived...
This federal Project Grant award of $380,863 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), supports research on the role of specific hepatic stellate cell subsets in the progression of alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH). The project aims to determine how the genes CYP1B1, PRRX1, and NR4A2 regulate the development and function of a novel FBLN2+ activated hepatic stellate cell (AHSC) subset in AH. Planned activities include...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $523,477.00 and awarded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) on September 25, 2024, supports research to study alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and its interaction with the rs738409 variant in the PNPLA3 gene. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Developing a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived in vitro liver culture...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will provide $119,600 over a 3-year period from July 2024 to July 2027 to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. (KUMCRI) to conduct research on the mechanisms by which aging and alcohol consumption cooperatively contribute to the development of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The project aims to identify how...
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded a $438,375 Project Grant under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to establish a human liver-on-a-chip model for studying alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The 2-year project, starting September 2023, aims to investigate the roles of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and acetaldehyde metabolism in regulating ethanol-induced liver damage as well as the contribution of fibrotic...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under CFDA 93.273 - Alcohol Research Programs provides $374,598 to the University of Louisville to study the effects of alcohol consumption on chemical modifications to RNA and their potential contribution to the development and progression of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The researchers will treat mice with alcohol, isolate different types of RNA from their livers, and use comprehensive 2D...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273), provides $123,045 to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center New Orleans to investigate the role of the TRAF3IP2 protein in the pathogenesis of alcohol-related cardiomyopathy. The research aims to determine whether alcohol-induced cardiac fibroblast activation and inflammatory/fibrotic responses are dependent on TRAF3IP2, and whether global...

This $442,898 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) under the Alcohol Research Programs (CFDA 93.273) will support research to define the contributions of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its receptor CD74 in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The research plan includes three specific aims: 1) characterizing the role of CD74 expression in hepatocytes and myeloid cells during and after ethanol feeding in mice, 2) resolving the controversial role of the MIF-CD74 pathway in hepatic fibrosis, and 3) therapeutically targeting hepatic MIF and CD74 using antisense oligonucleotide technology. This research will be conducted by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, a state-controlled institution of higher learning with extensive expertise in biomedical research, clinical trials, and translational science across multiple disciplines. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029.
