Siglec-E augments adipose tissue inflammation by modulating TRAF3 signaling and monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells during obesity by Ahmed Rakib, Mousumi Mandal, Md Abdullah Al Mamun, Sonia Kiran, Nelufar Yasmen, Lexiao Li, Daniel M. Collier, Jianxiong Jiang, Frank Park, Udai P. Singh

“…Taken together, these results suggest that a genetic deficiency of siglec-E plays a key role in inducing AT inflammation by differentially altering M-MDSCs and CD8+CXCR3+ T cell function and adipogenesis by TRAF3 and Akt signaling in AT.ConclusionOur findings strongly suggest that modulation of siglec-E pathways might have a protective effect at least in part against AT inflammation and metabolic disorders.…”

Association of the bitter taste genes TAS2R38 and CA6 and breast cancer risk; a case-control study of Polish women in Poland and Polish immigrants in USA. by Dorota Łukasiewicz-Śmietańska, Dariusz Godlewski, Elżbieta Nowakowska, Andrzej Szpak, Elżbieta Chabros, Grzegorz Juszczyk, Jadwiga Charzewska, Dorothy Rybaczyk-Pathak

“…However, recent reports have suggested that the carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6) gene may also influence bitterness sensing. Genetic variants in these genes could influence dietary intake of brassica vegetables, whose increased consumption has been observed in the literature, though inconsistently, to decrease breast cancer (BC) risk. …”
