Understanding HAT1: A Comprehensive Review of Noncanonical Roles and Connection with Disease
Genes (Basel). 2023 Apr 14;14(4):915. doi: 10.3390/genes14040915.ABSTRACTHistone acetylation plays a vital role in organizing chromatin, regulating gene expression and controlling the cell cycle. The first histone acetyltransferase to be identified was histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1), but it remains one of the least understood acetyltransferases. HAT1 catalyzes the acetylation of newly synthesized H4 and, to a lesser extent, H2A in the cytoplasm. However, 20 min after assembly, histones lose acetylation marks. Moreover, new noncanonical functions have been described for HAT1, revealing its complexity and complicating th...

Hepatitis C Infection as a Risk Factor for Hypertension and Cardiovascular Diseases: An EpiTer Multicenter Study
J Clin Med. 2022 Sep 1;11(17):5193. doi: 10.3390/jcm11175193.ABSTRACTHepatitis C infection is one of the main reasons for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In recent years, more and more is being heard about extrahepatic manifestations of the hepatitis C infection including its possible influence on the development of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. In the given work, the frequency analysis of the incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases among 2898 HCV-infected patients treated in Poland and the assessment of their relevance to the HCV genotype and the progression of liver fibrosis can be...

Efficacy and Safety of High-intensity Statins in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: An Asian Perspective
ConclusionsAMI patients in Taiwan with HIS had similar clinical outcomes to those with non-HIS. Using HIS for effective reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is safe in Taiwan.

Prognostic value of viral eradication for major adverse cardiovascular events in hepatitis C cirrhotic patients
Conclusion In patients with compensated HCV-related cirrhosis, Asian ethnic origin, arterial hypertension, smoking and low serum albumin are independent predictive factors of cardiovascular events, while a sustained virological response is associated with a decreased rate of cardiovascular events.
