Genetic Variants of UGP2 and FBP2 in the Glycolysis Pathway Independently Predict Survival of Patients with HBV-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Gong R, Qiu M, Liu Y, Cao J, Zhou Z, Lin Q, Jiang Y, Liang X, Wei Y, Wen Q, Chen P, Wei X, Wei J, Zhan S, Zhang R, Ye D, Yu H

“…However, the effect of genetic variants in glycolysis pathway genes in survival of patients with hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) remains unclear.Methods: We employed multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to estimate associations between genetic variants in 240 glycolysis pathway genes and overall survival (OS) of 866 patients with HBV-HCC, and we also used false positive report probability for multiple testing corrections.Results: We found that UGP2 rs4293553 G allele was significantly associated with a better OS of HBV-HCC patients [hazards ratio (HR) = 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.62– 0.86, P < 0.001], and that FBP2 rs635087 G allele was significantly associated with a worse OS in these patients (HR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.18– 1.61, P < 0.001). …”

IL-17A as a Key Mediator of Pulmonary-Intestinal Immune Interactions in a Mouse Model of Asthma and Colitis by Wu C, Hu X, Mo Z, Meng Y, Du Y, Duan Y, Zeng Z, Shan J, Li J, Zhang N, Ma Y, Wang H, Liu C, Zhang G, Foster PS, Xu H, Li F, Yang M

“…While IL-17A has been implicated in both asthma and colitis independently, its role in coordinating systemic immune responses across tissue compartments is not well defined.Methods: In this study, we developed a combined house dust mite-induced asthma model and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis model to investigate the role of IL-17A in driving inflammation in both the lungs and the intestines.Results: Our findings demonstrate that IL-17A neutralization markedly reduced airway and intestinal inflammation, attenuated mucus hypersecretion, downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and alleviated colitis severity. …”
