This review systematically examines the central role of CECM homeostasis in KOA pathogenesis and summarizes recent advances in this field. We synthesized contemporary basic and clinical research to analyse the mechanisms underlying CECM homeostatic imbalance. These include biomechanical stress, inflammatory responses, programmed cell death (e.g., apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis), impaired autophagy, and cellular senescence. We also evaluated intrinsic risk factors and the application of related biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Our analysis identifies multifaceted pathways driving CECM imbalance and highlights promising multi-modal therapeutic strategies. These include novel pharmacological agents (e.g., high-purity chondroitin sulphate, natural active monomers), physical and regenerative therapies (e.g., stem cells, platelet-rich plasma), precision interventions (e.g., gene editing, RNA interference), and tissue engineering approaches (e.g., smart biomaterials, biomimetic scaffolds). The evidence demonstrates that these strategies can effectively modulate CECM metabolism, promote cartilage repair, and slow disease progression. Targeting CECM homeostasis is a core strategy for developing disease-modifying therapies for KOA. Future efforts should focus on interdisciplinary integration, individualized precision medicine, and multi-site synergistic interventions.

This study investigated whether SIRT3-dependent mitophagy mediates the protective effects of RIPC against acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by IRI and further examined the integrity of mitophagic flux and involvement of the classic Parkin-mediated mitophagic pathway. We used a murine bilateral renal ischaemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) model, including RIPC pretreatment, 3-methyladenine (3-MA) intervention and SIRT3 knockout intervention, and a HK-2 cell hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model, including SIRT3 siRNA knockdown, SIRT3 overexpression and chloroquine (CQ) intervention. Renal function, histopathological changes, apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential and mitophagy were assessed using biochemical analysis, histological and TUNEL staining, JC-1 staining, transmission electron microscopy, mitochondrial protein analysis and immunofluorescence colocalization of Parkin and LC3B. RIPC improved renal function, alleviated tubular injury and apoptosis, and enhanced mitophagy in mice, which was attenuated by SIRT3 knockout or 3-MA. In HK-2 cells, RIPC plasma protected against H/R injury and activated mitophagic flux, as verified by CQ treatment, while SIRT3 knockdown abolished these effects and SIRT3 overexpression maintained protective mitophagy levels. RIPC pretreatment restored the IRI-induced reduction in Parkin and LC3B colocalization in renal tubular epithelial mitochondria, and this effect was attenuated by 3-MA. RIPC alone had no detectable cytotoxicity or effect on basal mitophagy. In conclusion, RIPC mitigates renal IRI by activating SIRT3-dependent mitophagy, with involvement of the Parkin-mediated mitophagic pathway.

We hypothesized that mutated calreticulin could also corrupt the function of MHC-I, as previous reports revealed decreased surface expression, peptide-loading defects and retention of MHC-I in the Golgi apparatus. We employed reporter cell models that utilized the T cell response towards target murine and human primary cells and cell lines carrying calreticulin mutations as a functional readout.

The deubiquitinase OTU domain-containing protein 7B (OTUD7B) has been implicated in inflammatory and oncogenic signalling, but its role in PAAD and its TME remains unclear. This study integrated single-cell RNA-seq datasets from the GEO and bulk RNA-seq data from the TCGA to delineate the cellular ecosystem of PAAD, and employed cell–cell communication analysis, high-dimensional weighted gene coexpression network analysis (hdWGCNA), and nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) to identify OTUD7B-associated modules and epithelial subpopulations, while assessing the survival and clinicopathologic correlations of OTUD7B in the TCGA-PAAD cohort. Quantitative proteomics of OTUD7B-knockout PAAD cells was performed and combined with GO/KEGG and GSEA to explore downstream pathways, and immune infiltration was inferred by deconvolution algorithms and validated by multiplex immunofluorescence staining of OTUD7B, CD4, and FOXP3. Single-cell RNA-seq revealed the expansion of epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and macrophages with dense ligand–receptor networks, alongside the depletion of effector T and NK cells, indicating a shift toward an immunosuppressive TME. hdWGCNA identified epithelial–ECM modules in which OTUD7B served as a hub gene, and NMF revealed an OTUD7B-high epithelial subset enriched in glycosylation-related metabolic programs and positioned at an early stage of the malignant trajectory. OTUD7B was significantly upregulated in PAAD and was associated with higher grade, lymph node metastasis, and advanced stage, and predicted poorer overall survival. Proteomic profiling of OTUD7B-deficient cells revealed broad remodelling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, ROS metabolism, and redox homeostasis. OTUD7B expression was positively correlated with M2 macrophage infiltration, immunomodulatory gene expression, and CD4<sup>+</sup>FOXP3<sup>+</sup> regulatory T-cell accumulation, and tissue staining further confirmed the positive association between OTUD7B expression and Treg-rich regions. Collectively, OTUD7B acts as a key integrative node that links epithelial remodelling, mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming, and TME immunosuppression in PAAD, serving as an adverse prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target to remodel tumour metabolism and enhance antitumor immunity.</p>","PeriodicalId":101321,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MEDICINE","volume":"30 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13655224/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149166477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immune cells play a key role in recognizing and eliminating cancer cells through detection of tumour-derived membrane and secreted proteins processed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These ER-matured proteins on target cells act as critical communication signals, coordinating immune responses against tumour cells. However, during tumorigenesis, accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER of the cancer cells triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), a transcriptional program that alleviates proteotoxic stress by reshaping the cancer cell proteome and secretome, thereby promoting survival. Activation of UPR disrupts intercellular communication and ultimately impairs immune-mediated tumour clearance.

The underlying mechanisms are only incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of hyperlipidemic conditions on tumorigenic behaviour of CRC cells and the effect of obesity on lipid metabolism in CRC tissues. Oleic acid complexed to albumin was added to the cell culture medium of human colon cancer cell lines HT29, Caco-2, HCT116, LoVo, SW480 and SW48. This led to a time- and dose-dependent uptake of oleate and triglyceride accumulation and increased expression of perilipin-2 (PLIN2), a structural component of lipid droplets and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 A (CPT1A), the key enzyme of beta-oxidation. Furthermore, proliferation, migratory activity and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) were dose-dependently increased in CRC cells. In tumorous tissues of obese CRC patients, PLIN2 expression tended to be higher than in tissues of CRC patients with normal weight and immunohistological analysis showed a stronger PLIN2 immunosignal and Ki67-staining a higher proliferative index in CRC tissues of obese patients. Furthermore, we observed a significant correlation between PLIN2 and CPT1A expression in human CRC tissues and CRC patients with high PLIN2 or CPT1A expression showed a poorer overall and disease-free survival. In conclusion, our data indicate that fatty acid uptake promotes tumorigenicity of CRC cells. The exogenous uptake of fatty acids could be particularly important in obesity associated hyperlipidemia and herewith may be a critical factor by which obesity promotes CRC progression. Here, these findings support further evaluation of the structural protein PLIN2 as tumour marker as well as therapeutic target in CRC patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":101321,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR MEDICINE","volume":"30 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13634124/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149110139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
