The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that exhibits pleiotropic roles in PCa, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a potent ligand for AhR. While targeting ferroptosis is an innovative PCa therapeutic strategy, the impact of AhR on this process remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the influence of AhR on lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Results showed that TCDD activated AhR, as evidenced by increased CYP1A1 expression, leading to reduced cell viability. TCDD caused mitochondria shrinkage, decreased the GSH/GSSG ratio, and elevated the MDA levels and lipid peroxidation. Interestingly, AhR knockdown reversed these effects, similar to the action of ferroptosis inhibitors. Mechanistically, TCDD suppressed nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) expression, in part due to AhR activation. This suppression subsequently led to a reduction in the expression of the NR4A1 downstream target stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1). NR4A1 overexpression counteracted the effects of TCDD. In vivo, TCDD activated AhR, downregulated NR4A1 and SCD1 expression, induced mitochondria shrinkage, and increased the MDA and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) levels. In summary, TCDD promotes ferroptosis in androgen-dependent PCa via inhibiting the NR4A1/SCD1 axis, in part dependent on AhR activation.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142680700","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}

A model of subcutaneous tumor formation in nude mice was established to detect the effect of TMCO1 on tumor formation. The results showed that overexpression of TMCO1 significantly promoted HCC cell metastasis, promoted cell proliferation and ATP production, inhibited cell apoptosis, mPTP opening and ROS production, mediated the increase of MMP level and cytoskeletal remodeling. However, knocking down TMCO1 can have the opposite effect. More importantly, knocking down TOMM20 can block the regulation effect of TMCO1, and TOMM20 overexpression can alleviate the inhibitory effect of knocking down TMCO1 on the development of liver cancer cells.

However, their potential for bio-engineering is greatly restricted by the short lifespan. We postulated that the enucleation process damages the integrity of the plasma membrane and thus activates a cell death program(s). The results showed that a tiny hole was generated transiently on the plasma membrane when the nucleus was spun off, while force-gated ion channels were activated in response to the pulling by the nucleus. Influx of extracellular calcium stimulated the opening of calcium channels and the release of calcium from endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Long lasting calcium transient increased protein phosphorylation and activated caspase 9 and calpain proteinase activities. Subsequently, mitochondria membrane permeability and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) levels were significantly elevated, which eventually led to eryptosis-like cell death. When extracellular calcium was maintained at optimal concentration, the lifespan of enucleated cells was extended; however, huge amounts of vacuoles appeared in the cytoplasm, possibly derived from enlarged autophagosomes. Inhibition of vacuolation by inhibitors of autophagy or in co-culture with primary muscle cells did not rescue cells dying from the paraptosis-like pathway.

Phase separation is a spontaneous or driven process that can form membrane-less organelles called condensates. By creating different liquid phases at active transcription sites, the formation of transcription condensates can reduce the water content of the condensate and lower the dielectric constant in biological systems, which in turn alters the structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids in the condensate. In RNA Pol II transcription, phase separation formation shortens the time at which TFs bind to target DNA sites and promotes transcriptional bursting. RNA Pol II transcription is engaged in developing several diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, by regulating different TFs and mediating the occurrence of phase separation. This review aims to summarize the advances in the molecular mechanisms of RNA Pol II transcriptional regulation, in particular the effect of TFs and phase separation. The role of RNA Pol II transcriptional regulation in cardiovascular disease will be elucidated, providing potential therapeutic targets for the management and treatment of cardiovascular disease.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142614125","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}

One of the chromatin regulatory factors responsible for transcriptional regulation during development is the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) complex, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor conserved throughout eukaryotes. The catalytic subunit of this complex, BRG1, is shared in all three SWI/SNF complexes subfamilies and is essential for developing most cell lineages. Interestingly, many human developmental diseases have correlative or causative mutations in different SWI/SNF subunits. Many polybromo-associated BAF (pBAF) complex-specific subunit genetic alterations result in developmental failures in tissue-specific ways. This observation suggests that the pBAF complex plays a vital role in development and differentiation, and studying the pBAF complex may provide an opportunity to better understand gene regulation during development.

This study aims to determine whether Gβγ subunits regulate the TGF-α-induced migration of HCC HuH7 cells using gallein, a Gβγ subunits inhibitor. The Janus family of tyrosine kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway was also involved in the regulation of the migration. Gallein significantly reduced the TGF-α-induced cell migration. In contrast, fluorescein, a gallein-related compound that has no effect on Gβγ subunits, failed to affect the cell migration. Gallein suppressed the TGF-α-stimulated phosphorylation of JNK without affecting the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor, AKT, p38 MAPK, target protein of Rho-kinase and STAT3. Conversely, fluorescein did not attenuate the phosphorylation of JNK.

While clinical studies show hydrocortisone (HC) improves outcomes in CA patients during CPR, its specific role in modulating the NF-κB pathway is unclear. In this study, we established an in vitro model by inducing hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in H9C2 cardiomyocytes using Na2S2O4, followed by HC treatment. The results showed that HC treatment of H/R-injured cardiomyocytes promoted proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and suppressed the NF-κB pathway, thereby reducing interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels. Moreover, inhibition of the NF-κB pathway enhanced the proliferative capacity of H/R cardiomyocytes, decreased apoptosis rates, and reduced IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α expression levels, with these effects being further amplified by HC treatment. These findings were further supported by in vivo experiments. In conclusion, our study suggests that HC may promote H/R cardiomyocyte proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, and alleviate inflammatory responses by suppressing the NF-κB pathway, providing new evidence to support its potential clinical application in CA management.","PeriodicalId":8775,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Cell Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142614084","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}
