discovered that Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infections regulate lipid metabolism via miRNAs pathways: the interaction of Sjp40 with CD36 on hepatocytes inhibits miR-802, enhancing the expression of Prkab1 or Prkaa1 and increasing phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) levels, leading to reduced hepatic lipid synthesis (27). Here, PRKAB1 is linked to infection.
