This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which succinate exacerbates EC pyroptosis through mitochondrial damage. Serum samples are collected from patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and healthy controls (HCs), and the levels of succinate, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-18 are quantified. To establish a succinate accumulation model, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) are treated with diethyl butyl malonate (DEBM), followed by analysis of inflammatory cytokines. The expression of pyroptosis-related proteins is assessed via western blot analysis. Morphological changes in pyroptotic vesicles and membrane pores are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mitochondrial membrane potential and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels are evaluated via a JC-1 kit and MitoSOX, respectively. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is performed to identify potential target genes and regulatory pathways. To investigate the functional role of ATP5F1D, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are used to knockdown <i>ATP5F1D</i>, while lentiviral vectors are used to overexpress ATP5F1D in HUVECs. The results reveal significantly elevated levels of succinate, IL-6, and IL-18 in both CHD patients and DEBM-treated HUVECs. Succinate accumulation induced by DEBM triggers pyroptosis and mitochondrial damage in HUVECs, as evidenced by the upregulation of pyroptosis-related proteins and the impairment of mitochondrial structure and function. RNA sequencing analysis identifies ATP5F1D as a key downstream target of succinate accumulation. Downregulation of ATP5F1D promotes pyroptosis and mitochondrial injury in HUVECs, whereas restoration of ATP5F1D expression effectively mitigates these detrimental effects.

Therefore, identification of the molecular mechanism by which it invades and metastasizes to guide treatment and predict patient prognosis is needed. Cofilin1 plays an important role in regulating gene expression and the invasiveness of tumors. In this study, we show that Cofilin1 is highly expressed in BCa and lymph nodes with metastasis, which is positively related to the grade of BCa, and is significantly related to clinicopathological parameters and cancer-specific survival. Phenotypic analysis reveals that <i>Cofilin1</i> knockout inhibits the proliferation and migration of BCa cells, whereas Cofilin1 overexpression promotes the opposite phenotype. Cofilin1 binds to cortactin, thereby reducing the expression of F-actin and promoting the formation of invadopodia in BCa cells. Further experiments reveal that TCF7L2 can bind to the promoter of <i>Cofilin1</i> and transactivate it, promoting a malignant phenotype. TCF7L2 may also reverse the inhibitory effect of miR-206 on the binding of Cofilin1 and cortactin and promote the metastasis of BCa by inhibiting the transcription maturation of miR-206.
