IL-6

[Molecular Therapy-Methods & Clinical Development] The authors tested a new in vivo hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transduction/selection approach in rhesus macaques using HSC-tropic, integrating, helper-dependent adenovirus vectors (HDAd5/35++) designed for expression of human γ−globin in red blood cells to treat hemoglobinopathies.

[Laboratory Investigation] Investigators elucidated the role of miR-200c in cholestasis-induced biliary liver fibrosis and cholangiocyte activation, identifying sestrin 1 (SESN1) as a target of miR-200c.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Exposure of mouse CD4+ T cells to TNF and TGF-β generated Th17 cells that expressed low levels of IL-17 and high levels of inflammatory markers independently of IL-6 and STAT3.

[Molecular Therapy-Methods & Clinical Development] Investigators tested a new in vivo HSC transduction/selection approach in rhesus macaques using HSC-tropic, integrating, helper-dependent adenovirus vectors (HDAd5/35++) designed for expression of human γ−globin in red blood cells to treat hemoglobinopathies.

[Experimental and Molecular Medicine] Scientists identified and functionally validated a lncRNA using human atherosclerotic plaques. Human aortic samples were obtained from patients who underwent aortic surgery, and tissues were classified according to atherosclerotic plaques.

[Molecular Oncology] Scientists found that both Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and SIRT1 phosphorylated on serine 27 were coordinately upregulated in colon cancer patients’ tissues and human colon cancer cell lines.
