The relative roles of hepatitis B and C viruses in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Southern African blacks

TL;DR: Hepatitis B virus plays a predominant role in hepatocellular carcinogenesis in southern African blacks, with hepatitis C virus responsible for a smaller proportion of cases, and coinfection with the two viruses carries a synergistic risk of hepato cellular carcinoma formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does hepatitis GB virus‐C infection cause hepatocellular carcinoma in black Africans?

TL;DR: Comparing the prevalence of HGBV‐C infection in 167 southern African blacks with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 167 race‐, age‐, and sex‐matched hospital‐based control subjects to test for possible interactive effects between this virus and hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of the tumor revealed no changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

EGFRvIII Promotes the Proneural–Mesenchymal Transition of Glioblastoma Multiforme and Reduces Its Sensitivity to Temozolomide by Regulating the NF-κB/ALDH1A3 Axis

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored the causes and possible mechanisms of low sensitivity to TMZ in patients with EGFRvIII (+)-GBM and found that EGFR-vIII activated the NF-κB pathway and further regulated the expression of ALDH1A3 to promote the proneural-mesenchymal transition of GBM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunological profiles of human oligodendrogliomas define two distinct molecular subtypes

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify intrinsic molecular subtypes through integrated analysis of transcriptome, genome and methylome, and independently validate two reproducible subtypes associated with distinct molecular characteristics and clinical outcomes.
