Methods of predicting clinical outcome in a subject suffering from cancer, detecting non-liver cancer in a subject, and methods of treating or preventing cancer or cancer-associated cachexia are provided. Synthetic lipid nanoparticles encapsulating an mRNA encoding for HNF4A and composition comprising same are also provided.

Provided is a non-human animal that is highly practical as a hyperuricenia model, the non-human animal being the following: (a) a non-human animal obtained by producing a primary chimeric non-human animal by transplantation of human hepatocytes to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction; and subsequently administering a purine base-containing substance to the primary chimeric non-human animal, or (b) a non-human animal obtained by producing a serially transplanted chimeric non-human animal via two steps, a first step being a step of producing a primary chimeric non-human animal by transplantation of human hepatocytes to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction, a second step being a step of transplanting the human hepatocytes grown in the body of the primary chimeric non-human animal to an immunodeficient non-human animal with liver dysfunction, the second step being performed one or more times; and subsequently administering a purine base-containing substance to the serially transplanted chimeric non-human animal.
