This study aims to elucidate the role of METTL14 in macrophage differentiation and its involvement in the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) through the modulation of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in M2-like macrophages. The expression levels of METTL14 in M1-like and M2-like macrophages were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR). Macrophage differentiation in THP-1 cells was induced via treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), followed by lentiviral-mediated overexpression or knockdown of METTL14. Changes in the expression of CD86, iNOS, Arg-1, and CD206 were evaluated. The effects of METTL14 knockdown and overexpression on macrophage differentiation, M2 macrophage proliferation, and apoptosis was assessed. AML cells were co-cultured with M2 macrophages subjected to either METTL14 knockdown or overexpression, and subsequent changes in AML cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and m6A methylation levels were investigated. The expression of METTL14 mRNA was elevated in M1-like macrophages. Knockdown of METTL14 resulted in a significantly reduction in the expression of M1 markers, such as CD86 and iNOS, while concurrently increasing the expression of M2 markers, including Arg-1 and CD206. Additionally, the depletion of METTL14 facilitated the proliferation of M2-like macrophages, inhibited apoptosis, and decreased phagocytic capacity. Conversely, overexpression of METTL14 yielded opposite outcomes. Co-culture experiments demonstrated that M2-like macrophages with METTL14 knockdown significantly promoted the proliferation of AML cell, suppressed apoptosis, and enhanced migration and invasion. Concurrently, cellular m6A levels were elevated. Treatment with anti-PD-L1 partially reversed the effects of METTL14 knockdown. These findings suggest that METTL14 may enhance the proliferation of AML cells while inhibiting apoptosis by influencing macrophage differentiation and modulating macrophage function, with these effects being associated with YTHDF1 and PD-L1.</p>","PeriodicalId":49194,"journal":{"name":"Human Cell","volume":"38 6","pages":"168"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145201809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ischemic stroke is more than hemorrhagic stroke and accounts for 60-70% of all strokes. The present study explored the mechanisms of Eucommia ulmoides extract (EUE) in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse models and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) SH-SY5Y cell models were constructed to mimic ischemic stroke, and mice and cells were treated with gradient concentrations of EUE. The neurological function and brain tissue damage in mice were assessed using multiple parameters. Then the iron contents in cerebral tissue samples and neuronal cells were examined, and the expression levels of reactive oxygen species-related indicators and iron metabolism-related proteins were detected. EUE alleviated the ferroptosis process within cerebral tissue samples of MCAO mice and OGD-triggered neuronal cells, thereby mitigating neurological function and brain tissue damage by activating PI3K/Akt pathway. The target drug genes of EUE were searched by network pharmacology and molecular docking and found that the ferroptosis-related gene DDIT4 is the potential EUE-targeted gene in the therapy of ischemic stroke. DDIT4 expression was upregulated within cerebral brain samples of MCAO mice and OGD-triggered neuronal cells, and EUE could inhibit DDIT4 expression. The protective effect of EUE on neuronal cells could be partially reversed by overexpression of DDIT4. Moreover, EUE alleviated ferroptosis and improved neurological function in MCAO mice by suppressing DDIT4 expression and modulating the PI3K/Akt pathway. In conclusion, EUE exerts its neuroprotective effect against cerebral stroke by inhibiting DDIT4 expression and ferroptosis by regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway, and DDIT4 has been predicted to be an underlying therapeutic target for the treatment of ischemic stroke.</p>","PeriodicalId":49194,"journal":{"name":"Human Cell","volume":"38 6","pages":"166"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145193585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several critical functions are attributed to the liver which include metabolism, synthesis of serum proteins, excretion, detoxification, and various physiological processes essential for maintaining body homeostasis. Its unique regenerative capacity helps the liver to restore itself fully after injury. This process involves all hepatocytes with or without the involvement of stem cells. The function of the liver is known to be regulated by circadian rhythm, which includes feeding-fasting cycles and the maintenance of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that regulates as a master clock. The normal functioning of the liver is critical to the overall maintenance of homeostasis as it serves as a peripheral clock, suggesting a potential link between the SCN and liver. Aberrations in these circadian rhythms have been linked to various chronic hepatic diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which can lead to Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This mini review explores the significance of circadian rhythm in liver function, with a focus on the role of melatonin and nuclear receptors such as Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor-alpha (RORα), which is a known melatonin receptor critical to sustaining these rhythms that can influence biological functions, including immune system functioning, cell growth, and differentiation. Further, RORα is identified as one of the key regulators of inflammation and acts as a potential tumor suppressor, particularly in the context of HCC.
