The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of ZC3H13 on the growth of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). ⋯ ZC3H13 mediates IQGAP1 mRNA degradation by promoting m6A modification of IQGAP1 mRNA, this provides a prospective therapeutic target for PTC.

Data are limited regarding the long-term durability of sustained virologic response (SVR) in solid organ transplant recipients who achieve SVR12 with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV). We reported the virologic outcomes in 42 recipients who received DAAs for acute or chronic HCV infection after heart, liver, and kidney transplantation. After achieving SVR12, all recipients received HCV RNA surveys at SVR24, and biannually until the last visit. ⋯ Thirty-eight (90.5%) received sofosbuvir (SOF)-based DAAs. No recipients had late relapse or reinfection after a median (range) of post-SVR12 follow-up 4.0 (1.0-6.0) years. We demonstrate that the durability of SVR in solid organ transplant recipients is excellent once SVR12 is achieved with DAAs.
