Regulation of pH by Carbonic Anhydrase 9 Mediates Survival of Pancreatic Cancer Cells With Activated KRAS in Response to Hypoxia

Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) express an activated form of KRAS, become hypoxic and dysplastic, and are refractory to chemo- and radiation-therapies. To survive in the hypoxic environment, PDAC cells upregulate enzymes and transporters… Continue reading

Inhibiting Interleukin 11 Signaling Reduces Hepatocyte Death and Liver Fibrosis, Inflammation, and Steatosis in Mouse Models of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis

We studied the role of interleukin 11 (IL11) signaling in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis using hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), hepatocytes, and mouse models of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Continue reading

Amino Acid Substitutions in Genotype 3a Hepatitis C Virus Polymerase Protein Affect Responses to Sofosbuvir

Sofosbuvir is a frequently used pan-genotype inhibitor of hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase. This drug eliminates most chronic HCV infections and resistance-associated substitutions in the polymerase are rare. However, HCV genotype 3 responds slightly… Continue reading
