TRIM28, also known as KAP1, is a transcriptional regulator recently shown to promote CRPC cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth. Nonetheless, knowledge gaps persist regarding the mechanisms underlying TRIM28 upregulation in CRPC as well as the genomic targets regulated by TRIM28. Here, we report that TRIM28 is a E2F1 target in CRPC. Using an integrated genomic approach, we have demonstrated that TRIM28 forms a positive feedback loop to promote the transcriptional activation and genomic function of E2F1 independent of retinoblastoma (Rb) status. Furthermore, we identified RSK1 as a kinase that directly phosphorylates TRIM28 at S473, and, as such, RSK1 drives the TRIM28/E2F1 feedback loop. Accordingly, pS473-TRIM28 promotes CRPC progression, which is mitigated by RSK inhibition. In summary, our study reveals a critical role of the RSK1-TRIM28-E2F1 axis in CRPC progression, which may be exploited as a vulnerability in treating Rb-deficient CRPC.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295966","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}

We analyzed the nation-wide Epic Cosmos dataset and found significantly higher rates of seizures in children of mothers with GH than in children of normotensive mothers. Complementary studies of nested Iowa and Stanford cohorts and a large Taiwanese cohort also revealed significantly increased seizure risk after covariate adjustments. We modeled this association in an angiotensin (ANG) II mouse model of GH. Maternal ANG II significantly increased seizure grade and deaths elicited by pilocarpine among male but not female offspring. Electrical stimulation increased seizure grade and death across sexes in offspring from ANG II-treated dams. Proinflammatory and microglial gene expression in the brain were upregulated only in male offspring from ANG II-treated dams. Chronic phenylephrine, a GH model lacking the maternal proinflammatory aspects of ANG II, induced similar offspring seizure phenotypes. PLX5622-induced depletion of microglia or antiinflammatory pentoxifylline abolished this sensitized seizure response and lowered mortality in the ANG II model. These results suggest that GH programs offspring risk for seizures in a sex-dependent manner in humans and mice. Neuroinflammatory mechanisms may contribute to the elevated sensitivity and mortality from seizures elicited by GH exposure in utero.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295962","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}

However, these historically important approaches are now facing growing scrutiny for ethical reasons, concerns about translational limitations to human biology, and the rising availability of animal-free research methods. This shift raises a critical question: How relevant and effective are animal models for driving future advancements in today's research landscape? This Review aims to explore this question within the field of biomedical research on the complement system, critically evaluating the contribution of animal models to the recent advancements and clinical successes of complement-targeted therapies. Specifically, we assess areas where animal studies have been indispensable for elucidating disease mechanisms and conducting preclinical evaluations, alongside instances where findings from animal models failed to translate successfully to human trials. Furthermore, we discuss similarities and differences in the complement system between animals and humans and explore innovations in animal research designed to improve translatability to human biology. By assessing the contributions of animal studies to complement therapeutics, this Review aims to provide insights into animal models' strengths, limitations, and evolving role in complement research.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144295964","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}

Significantly associated variants were assessed for transferability in an independent Seattle cohort, further validated in vitro, and assessed for clinical phenotype associations. We identified 77 loci suggestively associated with Mtb-induced cytokine expression in monocytes in Uganda. SNPs associated with Mtb-induced TNF were enriched within alpha-linolenic acid metabolism pathway genes which was validated in vitro using PLA2 inhibitors. Four loci maintained significant associations in Seattle. We validated cytokine effect with siRNA knockdown for two of these loci which mapped to the genes SLIT3 and SLC1A1. Furthermore, exogenous treatment of macrophages with SLIT3 enhanced Mtb intracellular replication. Finally, SLC1A1 and SLIT3 variants were associated with susceptibility to tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and subsequent survival in a Vietnamese cohort, respectively. In sum, we identified multiple variants and pathways associated with Mtb-induced cytokine transcriptional responses that validated in vitro and were associated with clinical TB susceptibility.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144114264","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}

An association of mitral valve prolapse with Marfan syndrome resulting from pathogenic FBN1 variants supports the use of hypomorphic fibrillin-1 mgR mice to investigate mechanisms and therapy for mitral valve disease. mgR mice developed severe myxomatous mitral valve degeneration with mitral regurgitation by 12 weeks of age. Persistent activation of TGF-β and mTOR signaling along with macrophage recruitment preceded histological changes at 4 weeks of age. Short-term mTOR inhibition with rapamycin from 4 to 5 weeks of age prevented TGF-β overactivity and leukocytic infiltrates, while long-term inhibition of mTOR or TGF-β signaling from 4 to 12 weeks of age rescued mitral valve leaflet degeneration. Transcriptomic analysis identified integrins as key receptors in signaling interactions and serologic neutralization of integrin signaling or a chimeric integrin receptor altering signaling prevented mTOR activation. We confirmed increased mTOR signaling and a conserved transcriptome signature in human specimens of sporadic mitral valve prolapse. Thus, mTOR activation from abnormal integrin-dependent cell-matrix interactions drives TGF-β overactivity and myxomatous mitral valve degeneration, and mTOR inhibition may prevent disease progression of mitral valve prolapse.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103546","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}

Cellular machineries involved in these events remain poorly defined. Gene encoding TRanslocon-Associated Protein alpha (TRAPα) shows linkage to glycemic control in humans, although their pathophysiological role remains unknown. Here we found that β-cell specific TRAPα knockout (TRAPα-βKO) mice fed with chow diet or high fat diet (HFD) exhibit decreased circulating insulin, with age- and diet-related glucose intolerance. Multiple independent approaches revealed that TRAPα-βKO not only causes inefficient PPI translocation, but also leads to PI misfolding and ER stress, selectively limiting PI ER export and β-cell compensatory potential. Importantly, decreased TRAPα expression was evident in islets of wild-type mice fed with high fat diet and in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Furthermore, TRAPα expression was positively correlated with insulin content in human islet β cells, and decreased TRAPα was associated with PI maturation defects in T2D islets. Together, these data demonstrate that TRAPα deficiency in pancreatic β-cells impairs PPI translocation, PI folding, insulin production, and glucose homeostasis, contributing to its genetic linkage to T2D.","PeriodicalId":520097,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Clinical Investigation","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103545","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}
