Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate UBASH3A gene variation association with autoimmune thyroid disease and clinical features in a Chinese Han population.
Subjects And Methods: A total of 667 AITD patients (417 GD and 250 HT) and 301 healthy controls were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs11203203, rs3788013 of UBASH3A gene, utilizing the Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer (MALDI-TOF-MS) Platform.
Results: Between the control group and AITD, GD and HT group, no statistically significant difference was observed in the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the two SNPs. There was no significant difference in allelic frequencies of the two SNPs between GD with and without ophthalmopathy. There was no significant difference in haplotype distributions between the control group and AITD, GD or HT group.
Conclusion: Rs11203203 and rs3788013 in UBASH3A gene may not be associated with AITD patients in Chinese Han population.

The T cell Ubiquitin Ligand (TULA) protein family contains two members, UBASH3A and UBASH3B, that display similarities in protein sequence and domain structure. Both TULA proteins act to repress T cell activation via a combination of overlapping and nonredundant functions. UBASH3B acts mainly as a phosphatase that suppresses proximal T cell receptor (TCR) signaling.

Genome-wide association studies of primary sclerosing cholangitis have identified 23 susceptibility loci. The majority of these loci reside in non-coding regions of the genome and are thought to exert their effect by perturbing the regulation of nearby genes. Here, we aim to identify these genes to improve the biological understanding of primary sclerosing cholangitis, and nominate potential drug targets.

Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infections are spread in the flocks of sheep and goats all over the world, causing economic loss. Although only a fraction of infected animals develop disease symptoms, all of them may shed the virus, causing uncontrolled spread of the infection. Antibodies against the virus can be detected in the blood of infected animals and are the main marker of infection.

Background: FLI1 is an oncogenic transcription factor that promotes diverse malignancies through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Herein, FLI1 is shown to regulate the expression of Ubiquitin Associated and SH3 Domain Containing A/B (UBASH3A/B) genes. UBASH3B and UBASH3A are found to act as an oncogene and tumor suppressor, respectively, and their combined effect determines erythroleukemia progression downstream of FLI1.

Article Synopsis
- - Mycotoxins, toxic compounds from certain fungi, can contaminate animal feed and lead to health issues in livestock and humans consuming their meat; antioxidant-rich plant feeds may help mitigate these effects.
- - A study examined the impact of mycotoxins aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A on piglets' liver and how grapeseed and sea buckthorn meals as antioxidants could counteract damage over a 30-day feeding period.
- - Results showed that mycotoxins affect multiple metabolic pathways in piglets, while antioxidants helped restore some protein expressions but could also alter others; further research on proteomics is necessary.
