TLR2 controls the development of hepatocellular carcinoma by reducing interleukin-18-mediated immunosuppression

Inflammation is thought to be related to tumor development, but the immune mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still not well understood. In our study, we found that Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) inhibited production of the inflamma...

IL18-Mediated Immunosuppression Is Critical in HCC

Immune mechanisms underlying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are not well understood. Here, we show that the Toll-like receptor TLR2 inhibits production of the proinflammatory cytokine IL18 and protects mice from DEN-induced liver carcinogenesis. On th...

Long noncoding RNA MALAT1 promotes aggressive renal cell carcinoma through Ezh2 and interacts with miR-205.

Recently long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have emerged as new gene regulators and prognostic markers in several cancers including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we investigated the contributions of the lncRNA MALAT1 in RCC with a specific focu...

MALAT1 and RCC

Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) have emerged as new gene regulators and prognostic markers in several cancers, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we investigated the contributions of the lncRNA MALAT1 in RCC with a specific fo...

Role of ERBB3 in EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinomas

ERBB3, a member of the EGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases, has been implicated in activation of the PI3K pathway in human lung adenocarcinomas driven by EGFR mutations. We investigated the contribution of ERBB3 to the initiation, progression, an...
