Integrated Multiomics Analyses of the Molecular Landscape of Sarcopenia in Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.
Article in Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSkeletal muscle is a major target for ethanol-induced perturbations, leading to sarcopenia in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). The complex interactions and pathways involved in adaptive and maladaptive responses to ethanol in skeletal muscle are not well understood. Unlike hypothesis-driven experiments, an integrated multiomics-experimental validation approach provides a comprehensive view of these interactions.
methodsWe performed multiomics analyses with experimental validation to identify novel regulatory mechanisms of sarcopenia in ALD. Studies were done in a comprehensive array of models including ethanol-treated (ET) murine and human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes (hiPSCm), skeletal muscle from a mouse model of ALD (mALD) and human patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis and controls. We generated 13 untargeted datasets, including chromatin accessibility (assay for transposase accessible chromatin), RNA sequencing, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, acetylomics and metabolomics, and conducted integrated multiomics analyses using UpSet plots and feature extraction. Key findings were validated using immunoblots, redox measurements (NAD
resultsMultiomics analyses revealed enrichment in mitochondrial oxidative function, protein synthesis and senescence pathways consistent with the known effects of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) during normoxia. Across preclinical and clinical models, HIF1α targets (n = 32 genes) and signalling genes (n > 100 genes) (n = 3 ATACseq, n = 65 phosphoproteomics, n = 10 acetylomics, n = 6 C2C12 proteomics, n = 106 C2C12 RNAseq, n = 64 hiPSC RNAseq, n = 30 hiPSC proteomics, n = 3 mouse proteomics, n = 25 mouse RNAseq, n = 8 human RNAseq, n = 3 human proteomics) were increased. Stabilization of HIF1α (C2C12, 6hEtOH 0.24 ± 0.09; p = 0.043; mALD 0.32 ± 0.074; p = 0.005; data shown as mean difference ± standard error mean) was accompanied by enrichment in the early transient and late change clusters, -log(p-value) = 1.5-3.8, of the HIF1α signalling pathway. Redox ratio was reduced in ET myotubes (C2C12: 15512 ± 872.1, p < 0.001) and mALD muscle, with decreased expression of electron transport chain components (CI-V, p < 0.05) and Sirt3 (C2C12: 0.067 ± 0.023, p = 0.025; mALD: 0.41 ± 0.12, p = 0.013). Acetylation of mitochondrial proteins was increased in both models (C2C12: 107364 ± 4558, p = 0.03; mALD: 40036 ± 18 987, p = 0.049). Ethanol-induced SAMP was observed across models (P16: C2C12: 0.2845 ± 0.1145, p < 0.05; hiPSCm: 0.2591, p = 0.041). MitoLbNOX treatment reversed redox imbalance, HIF1α stabilization, global acetylation and myostatin expression (p < 0.05).
conclusionsAn integrated multiomics approach, combined with experimental validation, identifies HIF1α stabilization and accelerated post-mitotic senescence as novel mechanisms of sarcopenia in ALD. These findings show the complex molecular interactions leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and progressive sarcopenia in ALD.
