    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a major cause of primary liver carcinoma and has been associated with the penetrance of several germline mutations. We present a 31-year-old female evaluated for left upper quadrant pain and abnormal liver function tests. Ultrasound revealed a nodule in the liver, and biopsy showed intrahepatic adenocarcinoma. Germline testing was positive for two mutations: c.1100delC and c.1227_1228dupGG on the CHEK2 gene and the MUTYH gene, respectively. The patient was started on chemotherapy and tolerated it well. We aimed to demonstrate an association between CHEK2 and MUTYH mutations with CCA and highlight the importance of genetic testing for at-risk patients.

    Abstract β Amyloid, present in senile plaques, has been related largely to neuronal loss in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. However, how neurons respond to β amyloid insults is still poorly understood. Here we show that β amyloid increases somatostatin and cortistatin gene expression mainly through an increase in histone 3 lysine 4 methylation (H3K4me3), a modification associated with transcriptional activation. Somatostatin and cortistatin partially decreased β amyloid toxicity in primary cortical neurons in culture. Thus we suggest that neurons respond to β amyloid insults by releasing somatostatin and cortistatin, which will act as a protective agent against β amyloid toxicity. Our results suggest a relevant function for both neuropeptides against β amyloid toxicity, providing new insights into Alzheimer's disease.
