The paracaspase MALT1 cleaves HOIL1 reducing linear ubiquitination by LUBAC to dampen lymphocyte NF-κB signalling.

Antigen receptor signalling activates the canonical NF-κB pathway via the CARD11/BCL10/MALT1 (CBM) signalosome involving key, yet ill-defined roles for linear ubiquitination. The paracaspase MALT1 cleaves and removes negative checkpoint proteins, amplifying lymphocyte responses in NF-κB activation and in B-cell lymphoma subtypes. To identify new human MALT1 substrates, we compare B cells from the only known living MALT1(mut/mut) patient with healthy MALT1(+/mut) family members using 10-plex Tandem Mass Tag TAILS N-terminal peptide proteomics. We identify HOIL1 of the linear ubiquitin chain ass

ARHI (DIRAS3)-mediated autophagy-associated cell death enhances chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell lines and xenografts.

Autophagy can sustain or kill tumor cells depending upon the context. The mechanism of autophagy-associated cell death has not been well elucidated and autophagy has enhanced or inhibited sensitivity of cancer cells to cytotoxic chemotherapy in different models. ARHI (DIRAS3), an imprinted tumor suppressor gene, is downregulated in 60% of ovarian cancers. In cell culture, re-expression of ARHI induces autophagy and ovarian cancer cell death within 72 h. In xenografts, re-expression of ARHI arrests cell growth and induces autophagy, but does not kill engrafted cancer cells. When ARHI levels are

Mammalian Bet3 functions as a cytosolic factor participating in transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus.

The TRAPP complex identified in yeast regulates vesicular transport in the early secretory pathway. Although some components of the TRAPP complex are structurally conserved in mammalian cells, the function of the mammalian components has not been examined. We describe our biochemical and functional analysis of mammalian Bet3, the most conserved component of the TRAPP complex. Bet3 mRNA is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues. Antibodies raised against recombinant Bet3 specifically recognize a protein of 22 kDa. In contrast to yeast Bet3p, the majority of Bet3 is present in the cytosol. To inv

Chronic periodontitis genome-wide association studies: gene-centric and gene set enrichment analyses.

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of chronic periodontitis (CP) offer rich data sources for the investigation of candidate genes, functional elements, and pathways. We used GWAS data of CP (n = 4,504) and periodontal pathogen colonization (n = 1,020) from a cohort of adult Americans of European descent participating in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study and employed a MAGENTA approach (i.e., meta-analysis gene set enrichment of variant associations) to obtain gene-centric and gene set association results corrected for gene size, number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms,

Exportin 1 as a Therapeutic Target to Overcome Drug Resistance in Lung Cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with therapeutic resistance continuing to limit long-term responses. Among emerging resistance mechanisms, dysregulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport has gained attention for its ability to inactivate tumor suppressor pathways. Exportin 1 (XPO1), the primary nuclear export protein, is frequently overexpressed in NSCLC and promotes the cytoplasmic mislocalization of proteins involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis, and DNA repair. This includes key regulators such as p53, FOXO, and RB, whose inactivati

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN).

The mitochondrial dysfunction has a critical role in several disorders including chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN). This is due to a related dysregulation of pathways involving calcium signalling, reactive oxygen species and apoptosis. Vincristine is able to affect calcium movement through the Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) neuronal mitochondrial membrane, altering its homeostasis and leading to abnormal neuronal excitability. Paclitaxel induces the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in axons followed by mitochondrial membrane potential loss, increased react

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Vehicles in Cancer.

Even though cancer treatment has improved over the recent decades, still more specific and effective treatment concepts are mandatory. Surgical removal is not always possible, metastases are challenging and chemo- and radiotherapy can not only have severe side-effects but also resistances may occur. To cope with these challenges more efficient therapies with fewer side-effects are required. One promising approach is the use of drug delivery vehicles. Here, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are discussed as biodegradable drug carrier to improve efficacy and reduce side-effects. MSN excellen

Diffusion MRI for Assessment of Bone Quality; A Review of Findings in Healthy Aging and Osteoporosis.

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a growing imaging technique with the potential to provide biomarkers of tissue variation, such as cellular density, tissue anisotropy, and microvascular perfusion. However, the role of dMRI in characterizing different aspects of bone quality, especially in aging and osteoporosis, has not yet been fully established, particularly in clinical applications. The reason lies in the complications accompanied with implementation of dMRI in assessment of human bone structure, in terms of acquisition and quantification. Bone is a composite tissue comprising different elements, ea

XPO1: From basic research to clinical treatment (Review).

Exportin 1 (XPO1) is a key nuclear export receptor that mediates the nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins and growth‑regulatory mRNAs from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In several types of cancer, XPO1 is overexpressed or hyperactivated, leading to aberrant cytoplasmic sequestration of key tumor suppressors such as p53, p21, p73, FOXO and Rb. This mislocalization abrogates their nuclear transcriptional functions, disrupting cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and DNA repair, thereby promoting uncontrolled proliferation, survival and therapy resistance. Targeting XPO1 with selective inhibitors

Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome in kidney disease: molecular mechanisms, pathogenic roles, and emerging small-molecule therapeutics.

Inflammatory responses represent a core pathological process driving the progression of both acute and chronic kidney diseases. As a key effector of the innate immune system, the NLRP3 inflammasome is widely activated in renal resident cellsand infiltrating immune cells, positioning it as a critical nexus linking metabolic dysregulation, cellular stress, and tissue injury. Accumulating preclinical and clinical evidence in recent years demonstrates that aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome directly promotes glomerular damage, tubulointerstitial inflammation, fibrosis, and vascular dysf

Targeting the two-pore channel 2 in cancer progression and metastasis.

The importance of Ca2+ signaling, and particularly Ca2+ channels, in key events of cancer cell function such as proliferation, metastasis, autophagy and angiogenesis, has recently begun to be appreciated. Of particular note are two-pore channels (TPCs), a group of recently identified Ca2+-channels, located within the endolysosomal system. TPC2 has recently emerged as an intracellular ion channel of significant pathophysiological relevance, specifically in cancer, and interest in its role as an anti-cancer drug target has begun to be explored.

The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome: Genotypic and phenotypic classification and targeted therapy.

EMS(8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome, EMS) is an aggressive hematological neoplasm with/without eosinophilia caused by a rearrangement of the FGFR1 gene at 8p11-12. It was found that all cases carry chromosome abnormalities at the molecular level, not only the previously reported chromosome translocation and insertion but also a chromosome inversion. These abnormalities produced 17 FGFR1 fusion genes, of which the most common partner genes are ZNF198 on 13q11-12 and BCR of 22q11.2. The clinical manifestations can develop into AML (acute myeloid leukemia), T-LBL (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma),

How the mechanical microenvironment of stem cell growth affects their differentiation: a review.

Stem cell differentiation is of great interest in medical research; however, specifically and effectively regulating stem cell differentiation is still a challenge. In addition to chemical factors, physical signals are an important component of the stem cell ecotone. The mechanical microenvironment of stem cells has a huge role in stem cell differentiation. Herein, we describe the knowledge accumulated to date on the mechanical environment in which stem cells exist, which consists of various factors, including the extracellular matrix and topology, substrate stiffness, shear stress, hydrostati

Targeting nuclear import and export in hematological malignancies.

The transport of proteins across the nuclear membrane is a highly regulated process, essential for the cell function. This transport is actively mediated by members of the karyopherin family, termed importins, or exportins, depending on the direction of transport. These proteins play an active part in tumorigenesis, through aberrant localization of their cargoes, which include oncogenes, tumor-suppressor genes and mediators of key signal transduction pathways. Overexpression of importins and exportins is reported in many malignancies, with implications in cell growth and viability, differentia
