Beta-Catenin Mutations Can Impact on the Interplay Between Tumor and Immune Cells and Hepatic Microbiota in Hepatocellular Cancer by Ota Y, Driscoll J, Hill AR, Yan IK, Patel T

“…We hypothesized that β-catenin could modulate the immune microenvironment through alterations in the secretome and release of extracellular vesicles (EV) that mediate tumor and immune cell interactions and increase tumor growth within regions with attenuated immune activity and reduced microbial diversity.Methods: We used a synthetic transgenic murine model of β-catenin-driven hepatocarcinogenesis to analyze microbiome composition, diversity, and immune cell profiles in vivo. …”

A triterpene-enriched natural extract from Eucalyptus tereticornis modulates the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis, lipolysis, and extracellular matrix remodeling in a p... by Sergio Acin, Alejandro Mejia-Garcia, Geysson Javier Fernandez, Norman Balcazar

“…(Myrtaceae), with ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid lactone mixed with minor metabolites, provided a superior antiobesity effect than reconstituted triterpenoid mixtures in adipocyte cell lines and a pre-diabetic mouse model. Further identification of the molecular mechanisms of action of this mixture of triterpenes is required.Objective This study analyzes the effect of the natural extract and its components on early RNA expression profiles in human primary cultured adipocytes and a mouse cell line.Materials and methods RNA was sequenced using the DNBseq platform and the EnrichR software to perform gene enrichment analysis using the Gene Ontology database, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Reactome. …”
