Article Abstract
Purpose: Suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) is a STAT5b-regulated gene and one of its functions is to influence growth and development through negative regulatory effects on GH/IGF-1 pathway. So, we evaluate the potential influence of SOCS2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on clinical and laboratorial characteristics of a large cohort of Brazilian patients with acromegaly.
Methods: Four SOCS2 SNPs (rs3782415, rs3816997, rs3825199 and rs11107116) were selected and genotyped by real-time PCR using specific Taqman probe assays. A total of 186 patients (116 women, age range 26-88 years) were evaluated.
Results: No association of SOCS2 genotypes was observed with none of the following clinical and laboratorial characteristics: age, sex, body mass index, comorbidities, basal GH, oral glucose tolerance test GH nadir, IGF-I, ULNR-IGF-I.
Conclusion: Despite of the key role of SOCS2 in the regulation of GH receptor signaling, we did not find any significant association between SOCS2 polymorphisms and acromegaly.

Objective: Previous research has identified the significant roles of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in Kawasaki disease (KD). This systematic review aims to elucidate the involvement and significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the pathogenesis and progression of KD.
Study Design: A systematic search was conducted across four databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) up to June 19, 2023, without year restrictions.
The investigation of SNP in SOCS2 gene and its effect on milk yield, fat, protein, and somatic cell count in Awassi ewes.

Background: Livestock farmers face financial losses every year because milk yield and components are severely affected by udder diseases. These udder infections attract the immune response from the host and lead to the influx of neutrophils into milk to fight infection and thus the number of somatic cell count (SCC) is increased. The SCC value of milk could be used as an important indicator in detecting clinical mastitis in dairy animals.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to find new genetic variants that are linked to both fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP) by conducting a bivariate genome-wide association study (GWAS).
- The study analyzed data from over 480,000 participants to identify 87 shared genetic loci, including 58 new ones, that are associated with fibrinogen and CRP levels.
- The findings indicate significant overlap between the genetic factors affecting fibrinogen and CRP, suggesting they may share a common genetic architecture.
The Interplay Between Helicobacter pylori and Suppressors of Cytokine Signaling (SOCS) Molecules in the Development of Gastric Cancer and Induction of Immune Response.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonizes the stomach and leads to the secretion of a vast range of cytokines by infiltrated leukocytes directing immune/inflammatory response against the bacterium. To regulate immune/inflammatory responses, suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins bind to multiple signaling components located downstream of cytokine receptors, such as Janus kinase (JAK), signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT).
