Thus, there is considerable interest in the early identification of individuals who may be more susceptible to developing SUDs and in improving personalized treatment decisions for those who have SUDs. SUDs are known to be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Polygenic scores (PGSs) provide a single measure of genetic liability that could be used as a biomarker in predicting disease development, progression, and treatment response. Although PGSs are rapidly being integrated into clinical practice, there is little information to guide clinicians in their responsible use and interpretation. In this Review, we discuss the potential benefits and pitfalls of the use of PGSs in the clinical care of SUDs, highlighting current research. We also provide suggestions for important considerations prior to implementing the clinical use of PGSs and recommend future directions for research.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms underlying these crucial pathological changes remain unclear. Mutations in parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (PARK2), the gene encoding parkin that is phosphorylated by PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) to participate in mitophagy, cause early onset PD. However, current parkin-KO mouse and pig models do not exhibit neurodegeneration. In the current study, we utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to establish parkin-deficient monkey models at different ages. We found that parkin deficiency leads to substantia nigra neurodegeneration in adult monkey brains and that parkin phosphorylation decreases with aging, primarily due to increased insolubility of parkin. Phosphorylated parkin is important for neuroprotection and the reduction of pS129-α-syn. Consistently, overexpression of WT parkin, but not a mutant form that cannot be phosphorylated by PINK1, reduced the accumulation of pS129-α-syn.

Here, we found an increase of Nr4a family of orphan nuclear receptors expression in intrahepatic T cells from mice with diet-induced NASH. Loss of Nr4a1 and Nr4a2 in T cell (dKO) ameliorated liver cell death and fibrosis, thereby mitigating liver dysfunction in NASH mice. dKO resulted in reduction of infiltrated macrophages and Th1/Th17 cells, whereas massive accumulation of T regulatory (Treg) cells in the liver of NASH mice. Combined single-cell RNA transcriptomic and TCR sequencing analysis revealed that intrahepatic dKO Tregs exhibited enhanced TIGIT and IL10 expression and were clonally expanded during NASH progression. Mechanistically, we found that dKO Tregs expressed high levels of Batf which promotes Treg cell proliferation and function upon TCR stimulation. Collectively, our findings not only provide an insight into the impact of intrahepatic Treg cells on NASH pathogenesis, but also suggest a therapeutic potential of targeting of Nr4a family to treat the disease.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142443761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we show that protein arginine methylation plays an essential role in central immune tolerance by maximizing the self-antigen repertoire in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). Protein arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5) was required for pre-mRNA splicing of certain key genes in tolerance induction, including Aire as well as various genes encoding TRAs. Mice lacking Prmt5 specifically in thymic epithelial cells exhibited an altered thymic T cell selection, leading to the breakdown of immune tolerance accompanied by both autoimmune responses and enhanced antitumor immunity. Thus, arginine methylation and transcript splicing are essential for establishing immune tolerance and may serve as a therapeutic target in autoimmune diseases as well as cancer immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has shown that TSC/mTORC1 and FOXO1 are distinct downstream effectors of AKT signaling in liver regeneration and metabolism. However, the mechanisms by which these pathways mediate mTORC2/AKT activation in HCC are not yet fully understood. Amplification and activation of c-MYC is a key molecular event in HCC. In this study, we explored the roles of TSC/mTORC1 and FOXO1 as downstream effectors of mTORC2/AKT1 in c-MYC-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Using various genetic approaches in mice, we found that manipulating the FOXO pathway had minimal impact on c-MYC-induced HCC. In contrast, loss of mTORC2 inhibited c-MYC-induced HCC, an effect that was completely reversed by ablating TSC2, which activated mTORC1. Additionally, we discovered that p70/RPS6 and 4EBP1/eIF4E act downstream of mTORC1, regulating distinct molecular pathways. Notably, the 4EBP1/eIF4E cascade is crucial for cell proliferation and glycolysis in c-MYC-induced HCC. We also identified centromere protein M (CENPM) as a downstream target of the TSC2/mTORC1 pathway in c-MYC-driven hepatocarcinogenesis, and its ablation entirely inhibited c-MYC-dependent HCC formation. Our findings demonstrate that the TSC/mTORC1/CENPM pathway, rather than the FOXO cascade, is the primary signaling pathway regulating c-MYC-driven hepatocarcinogenesis.

Errors in this process are among the mechanisms of primary hereditary microcephaly (MCPH), a group of disorders characterized by reduced brain size and intellectual disability. Biallelic CIT missense variants that disrupt kinase function (CITKI/KI) and frameshift loss-of-function variants (CITFS/FS) are the genetic basis for MCPH17; however, the function of CIT catalytic activity in brain development and NPC cytokinesis is unknown. Therefore, we created the CitKI/KI mouse model and found that it does not phenocopy human microcephaly, unlike biallelic CitFS/FS animals. Nevertheless, both Cit models exhibited binucleation, DNA damage, and apoptosis. To investigate human-specific mechanisms of CIT microcephaly, we generated CITKI/KI and CITFS/FS human forebrain organoids. We found that CITKI/KI and CITFS/FS organoids lose cytoarchitectural complexity, transitioning from pseudostratified to simple neuroepithelium. This change was associated with defects that disrupt polarity of NPC cytokinesis, in addition to elevating apoptosis. Together, our results indicate that both CIT catalytic and scaffolding functions in NPC cytokinesis are critical for human corticogenesis. Species differences in corticogenesis and the dynamic 3D features of NPC mitosis underscore the utility of human forebrain organoid models for understanding human microcephaly.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142321028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
