MicroRNA‐191 acts as a tumor promoter by modulating the TET1–p53 pathway in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Hao Li, Zun‐Qiang Zhou, Zhang‐Ru Yang, Da‐Nian Tong, Jiao Guan, Bao‐Jie Shi, Jia Nie, Xian‐Ting Ding, Bin Li, Guang‐Wen Zhou, Zheng‐Yun Zhang – 14 February 2017 – Current treatment of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains ineffective because knowledge of ICC carcinogenesis is unclear. Increasing evidence suggests that microRNAs (miRNAs), including miR‐191, play an important role in tumorigenesis; but expression and biological functions of miR‐191 in ICC remain to be established. This study investigated the functions and underlying mechanisms of miR‐191 in ICC.

RIG‐I is a key antiviral interferon‐stimulated gene against hepatitis E virus regardless of interferon production

Lei Xu, Wenshi Wang, Yunlong Li, Xinying Zhou, Yuebang Yin, Yijin Wang, Robert A. de Man, Luc J.W. van der Laan, Fen Huang, Nassim Kamar, Maikel P. Peppelenbosch, Qiuwei Pan – 13 February 2017 – Interferons (IFNs) are broad antiviral cytokines that exert their function by inducing the transcription of hundreds of IFN‐stimulated genes (ISGs). However, little is known about the antiviral potential of these cellular effectors on hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, the leading cause of acute hepatitis globally.
