The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA that can cause chronic (CHB) in humans. Current therapies for CHB infection are limited efficacy and do not target the pre-existing viral genomic DNA, which present nucleus as covalently closed circular (cccDNA) form. transcription activator-like (TAL) effector nucleases (TALENs) newly developed enzymes cleave sequence-specific targets. Here, TALENs targeting conserved regions of among different HBV genotypes were constructed. expression Huh7 cells...

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major health problem worldwide. The covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) minichromosome, which serves as the template for transcription of viral RNAs, plays key role in persistence. While accumulating evidence suggests that cccDNA is regulated by epigenetic machinery, particularly acetylation cccDNA‐bound histone 3 (H3) and H4, potential contributions methylation related host factors remain obscure. Here, screening series...

Abstract Accumulating evidences indicate that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a vital role in diverse cancer biology. However, the contributions of circRNAs to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their underlying mechanism remain largely unknown. The present study aims at investigating circRNA-104718 HCC progression, which has been observed be significantly up-regulated tissues. We found that, higher expression also leds poor prognosis patients. Using luciferase binding assays RNA...

Treatment with exogenous interferon (IFN)-α is not effective in the majority of patients chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Recent evidence suggests that HBV has evolved strategies to block nuclear translocation signal transducer and activator transcription (STAT) 1 limit IFN-α-induced cellular antiviral responses. However, it remains unclear whether STAT1 impaired what mechanisms are involved. Here we report expression polymerase (Pol) human hepatic cell lines inhibited induction...

Methionine S-adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) is the catalytic subunit for synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), principal methyl donor in many biological processes. MAT2A up-regulated cancers, including liver cancer and colorectal (CRC) a potentially important drug target. We developed family fluorinated N,N-dialkylaminostilbene agents, called FIDAS that inhibit proliferation CRC cells vitro vivo. Using biotinylated analogue, we identified as direct exclusive binding target these agents....

CGX1321, a highly-potent and selective inhibitor O-acyltransferase Porcupine, blocks ligand secretion. Preclinical studies show that CGX1321 inhibits growth tumors with RSPO fusions or inactivating RNF43 mutations. Activation associated immune-suppression resistance to immunotherapy.
