However, clinical response towards Lenvatinib was limited, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying mechanism of its resistance. Herein, we employed integrated bioinformatic analysis to identify calpain-2 (CAPN2) as a novel key regulator for Lenvatinib resistance in HCC, and its expression greatly increased in both Lenvatinib-resistant HCC cell lines and clinical samples. Further in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that knocking down CAPN2 greatly sensitized HCC cells to Lenvatinib treatment, while overexpression of CAPN2 achieved opposite effects in a Lenvatinib-sensitive HCC cell line. Interestingly, we observed a close relationship between CAPN2 expression and cancer stem cell (CSC) traits in HCC cells, evidenced by impaired sphere-forming and CSC-related marker expressions after CAPN2 knockdown, and verse vice. Mechanistically, we strikingly discovered that CAPN2 exerted its function by both enzyme-dependent and enzyme-independent manner simultaneously: activating β-Catenin signaling through its enzyme activity, and preventing GLI1/GLI2 degradation through direct binding to YWHAE in an enzyme-independent manner, which disrupting the association between YWHAE and GLI1/GLI2 to inhibit YWHAE-induced degradation of GLIs. Notably, further co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed that YWHAE could promote the protein stability of CAPN2 via recruiting a deubiquitinase COPS5 to prevent ubiquitination-induced degradation of CAPN2. In summary, our data demonstrated that CAPN2 promoted Lenvatinib resistance via both catalytic activity-dependent and -independent approaches. Reducing CAPN2 protein rather than inhibiting its activity might be a promising strategy to improve Lenvatinib treatment efficiency in HCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":74218,"journal":{"name":"Molecular biomedicine","volume":"5 1","pages":"74"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11688263/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142911276","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}

EGCG exhibits a wide spectrum of biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticancer, and neuroprotective properties, as well as benefits for cardiovascular and oral health. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent findings on the therapeutic potential of EGCG in various human diseases. Neuroprotective effects of EGCG include safeguarding neurons from damage and enhancing cognitive function, primarily through its antioxidant capacity to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during physiological stress. Additionally, EGCG modulates key signaling pathways such as JAK/STAT, Delta-Notch, and TNF, all of which play critical roles in neuronal survival, growth, and function. Furthermore, EGCG is involved in regulating apoptosis and cell cycle progression, making it a promising candidate for the treatment of metabolic diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Despite its promising therapeutic potential, further clinical trials are essential to validate the efficacy and safety of EGCG and to optimize its delivery to target tissues. While many reviews have addressed the anticancer properties of EGCG, this review focuses on the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which EGCG used in specific human diseases, particularly cancer, neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals, revealing the potential of EGCG in managing neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and metabolic diseases and highlighting its broader therapeutic values.</p>","PeriodicalId":74218,"journal":{"name":"Molecular biomedicine","volume":"5 1","pages":"73"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11671467/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142900774","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}

We analyzed MALAT1 levels in two gene expression profiling datasets comprising patients with obstructive azoospermia (OA) who have normal spermatogenesis and 13 patients with iNOA. The dysregulation of MALAT1 along with the expression levels of its negatively correlated genes were confirmed in a larger cohort of 24 OA patients and 38 iNOA patients. We examined the effects of MALAT1 overexpression in primary human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and Sertoli cells. Additionally, we assessed DNA methylation, as well as levels of H3K27me3 and H3K27Ac level near the etv5 promoter region using ChIP-qPCR. We observed that MALAT1 was overexpressed in testes of iNOA patients with its levels negatively correlating with six spermatogenesis related genes and positively correlated with three others. Overexpression of MALAT1 in SSCs repressed proliferation and induced apoptosis while also suppressing ETS variant transcription factor 5 (ETV5) expression by promoting H3K27 tri-methylation of the ETV5 promoter. Overexpression of MALAT1 in Sertoli cells did not induce apoptosis but impaired their cell supporting function.
