Alcohol abstinence ameliorates the dysregulated immune profiles in patients with alcoholic hepatitis: A prospective observational study

Wei Li, Tohti Amet, Yanyan Xing, Dennis Yang, Suthat Liangpunsakul, Puneet Puri, Patrick S. Kamath, Arun J. Sanyal, Vijay H. Shah, Barry P. Katz, Svetlana Radaeva, David W. Crabb, Naga Chalasani, Qigui Yu – 2 May 2017 – Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) develops in only a small proportion of heavy drinkers. To better understand the mechanisms underlying this disparity, we conducted a study to define the relationship between AH development and dysregulated immune responses that might be ameliorated by alcohol abstinence.

Polo‐like‐kinase 1 is a proviral host factor for hepatitis B virus replication

Ahmed Diab, Adrien Foca, Floriane Fusil, Thomas Lahlali, Pascal Jalaguier, Fouzia Amirache, Lia N'Guyen, Nathalie Isorce, François‐Loïc Cosset, Fabien Zoulim, Ourania Andrisani, David Durantel – 26 April 2017 – Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and current treatments for chronic hepatitis B and HCC are suboptimal. Herein, we identified cellular serine/threonine Polo‐like‐kinase 1 (PLK1) as a positive effector of HBV replication.
