Clonorchis sinensis (C. sinensis), an important fishborne zoonotic parasite threatening public health, is of major socioeconomic importance in epidemic areas. Effective strategies are still urgently expected to prevent against C.

Up to date, vaccination remained to be the most effective way to protect grass carp from GCHD. Oral vaccination is of major interest due to its advantages of noninvasive, time-saving, and easily-operated.

The underlying molecular mechanism involved in the malignancy of CCA and HCC has not yet been addressed.

This hepatobiliary disease is highly associated with cholangiocarcinoma. As key molecules in the infectivity and subsistence of trematodes, glycolytic enzymes have been targets for drug and vaccine development.

New effective prevention strategies are still urgent to control this food-borne infectious disease.

However, how phosphatase-mediated negative regulatory effects are concomitantly disrupted in cancers, which commonly exhibit constitutively activated PI3K/Akt signalling, remains undefined. Here we report that miR-508 directly suppresses multiple phosphatases, including inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase J (INPP5J), phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) and inositol polyphosphate 4-phosphatase type I (INPP4A), resulting in constitutive activation of PI3K/Akt signalling.

We investigated its biological function and clinical significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Design: Immunoblotting and immunochemistry were used to determine TBL1XR1 expression in ESCC cell lines, ESCC clinical tissues and 230 clinicopathologically characterised ESCC specimens.
