Characteristics of Immune Response to Tumor‐Associated Antigens and Immune Cell Profile in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Yuki Inada, Eishiro Mizukoshi, Takuya Seike, Toshikatsu Tamai, Noriho Iida, Masaaki Kitahara, Tatsuya Yamashita, Kuniaki Arai, Takeshi Terashima, Kazumi Fushimi, Taro Yamashita, Masao Honda, Shuichi Kaneko – 13 August 2018 – Host antitumor immune responses may be different between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by metabolic disorders and HCC associated with hepatitis virus infection. In this study, we examined the immune response of tumor‐associated antigen (TAA)–specific T cells and immune cell profile in patients with HCC separated by cause.

Genetics Meets Therapy? Exome‐wide Association Study Reveals a Loss‐of‐Function Variant in 17‐Beta‐Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 13 That Protects Patients From Liver Damage and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Progression

Macrophage‐Specific Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor‐1α Contributes to Impaired Autophagic Flux in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Xiaojing Wang, Marcelle de Carvalho Ribeiro, Arvin Iracheta‐Vellve, Patrick Lowe, Aditya Ambade, Abhishek Satishchandran, Terence Bukong, Donna Catalano, Karen Kodys, Gyongyi Szabo – 13 August 2018 – Inflammatory cell activation drives diverse cellular programming during hepatic diseases. Hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs) have recently been identified as important regulators of immunity and inflammation.
