Karel P. Alcedo, Andres Guerrero, Venkatesha Basrur, Dong Fu, Monea L. Richardson, Joshua S. McLane, Chih‐Chiang Tsou, Alexey I. Nesvizhskii, Theodore H. Welling, Carlito B. Lebrilla, Carol A. Otey, Hong Jin Kim, M. Bishr Omary, Natasha T. Snider – 9 August 2019 – CD73, a cell‐surface N‐linked glycoprotein that produces extracellular adenosine, is a novel target for cancer immunotherapy. Although anti‐CD73 antibodies have entered clinical development, CD73 has both protumor and antitumor functions, depending on the target cell and tumor type.

Liver X Receptor α–Induced Cannabinoid Receptor 2 Inhibits Ubiquitin‐Specific Peptidase 4 Through miR‐27b, Protecting Hepatocytes From TGF‐β

Hong Min Wu, Tae Hyun Kim, Ayoung Kim, Ja Hyun Koo, Min Sung Joo, Sang Geon Kim – 5 August 2019 – Liver X receptor‐alpha (LXRα) acts as a double‐edged sword in different biological situations. Given the elusive role of LXRα in hepatocyte viability, this study investigated whether LXRα protects hepatocytes from injurious stimuli and the underlying basis. LXRα activation prevented hepatocyte apoptosis from CCl4 challenges in mice.
