PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND BIOMARKER POTENTIAL OF FATTY ACID ETHYL ESTER ELEVATION DURING ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS

The role of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) during human alcoholic pancreatitis is unknown. We compared FAEE levels to their non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) precursors during alcohol intoxication and clinical alcoholic pancreatitis. The pathophysiolo… Continue reading

AGR2-dependent nuclear import of RNA polymerase II constitutes a specific target of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the context of wild-type p53

Promoted by pancreatitis, oncogenic KrasG12D triggers acinar cells’ neoplastic transformation through acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) and pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). Agr2 (anterior gradient 2), a known inhibitor of p53, is detected … Continue reading

Liver-resident bystander CD8+ T cells contribute to liver disease pathogenesis in chronic hepatitis D virus infection

The hepatitis D virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of chronic hepatitis, often progressing to cirrhosis within 5-10 years. There is no curative treatment and the mechanisms underlying the accelerated liver disease progression are unknown. Continue reading

Anti-microbial antibody response is associated with future onset of Crohn’s disease independent of biomarkers of altered gut barrier function, subclinical inflammation, and genetic risk

/Aim: Altered host immune reactivity to microbial antigens is hypothesized to trigger the onset of Crohn’s disease (CD). We aimed to assess whether increased serum anti-microbial antibody response in asymptomatic first-degree relatives (FDR) of CD pati… Continue reading
