Carabrone, a sesquiterpene lactone from the traditional Chinese herb Carpesium abrotanoides L., shows various pharmacological properties, whereas its effect on the improvement of MASH and the underlying mechanisms have not yet been reported. In this work, we revealed for the first time the beneficial effect of carabrone on MASH, including reducing liver lipid accumulation, inflammatory cell infiltration, and fibrosis in multiple diet-induced mice. Carabrone also alleviated lipid accumulation and inflammation in palmitic acid/oleic acid–stimulated hepatocytes. Mechanically, we identified signal transducers and transcriptional activator 3 (STAT3) as a key target of carabrone for treating MASH through quantitative chemical proteomic analysis, as well as the verification by the overexpression of STAT3 in vivo and in vitro. Further studies demonstrated that carabrone blocks MASH progression by inhibiting the activation of STAT3. More importantly, a new carabrone derivative CA-21 with stronger anti-MASH activity and affinity for STAT3 was discovered through rational structural modification. Taken together, our findings suggest that carabrone and CA-21 could be developed as promising drug candidates for MASH treatment.","PeriodicalId":94133,"journal":{"name":"MedComm","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mco2.70145","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581588","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}

However, inhibiting these enzymes could potentially promote metastatic progression in various other cancers. Herein, we found that depletion of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (encoded by ACACA), the enzyme responsible for the first and rate-limiting step of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, facilitated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and migration of PCa cells. This finding was validated in vitro through cell migration assays and in vivo using a metastatic model established by tail vein injection of ACACA-depleted cells into BALB/c nude mice. Additionally, depletion of ACACA activated the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathway. Inhibition of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway reduced EMT and migration in ACACA-depleted cells. Our study is the first to indicate targeting ACACA induces an “unexpected” escape program through activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in PCa, ultimately leading to EMT and metastasis. Therefore, we strongly recommend that the potential adverse effects of targeting ACACA or its derived therapeutic agents must be given extreme attention, especially in MAPK-related cancers.","PeriodicalId":94133,"journal":{"name":"MedComm","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mco2.70126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581582","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}

Specifically, we aim to investigate the involvement and molecular mechanisms of YAP in various inflammatory diseases and cancers. We particularly focus on how YAP activation, whether through Hippo-dependent or independent pathways, triggers the release of inflammation and inflammatory mediators in respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive inflammatory conditions. In cancer, YAP not only promotes tumor cell proliferation and differentiation but also modulates the tumor immune microenvironment, thereby fostering tumor metastasis and progression. Additionally, we provide an overview of current YAP-targeted therapies. By emphasizing YAP's role in inflammatory diseases and cancer, this study aims to enhance our understanding of the protein's pivotal involvement in disease processes, elucidate the intricate pathological mechanisms of related diseases, and contribute to future drug development strategies targeting YAP.","PeriodicalId":94133,"journal":{"name":"MedComm","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mco2.70128","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581584","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}

It is investigated whether heat shock protein family A member 1A (HSPA1A), a cytoprotective chaperone induced under stress, has been implicated in the development of BPH. RNA-sequencing and single-cell sequencing analyses revealed significant upregulation of HSPA1A in BPH compared to controls. In vitro experiments elucidated that HSPA1A was localized in prostatic epithelium and stroma, with upregulated expression in BPH tissues. Moreover, HSPA1A silencing augmented apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, inhibiting proliferation via ERK/JNK activation, while overexpression reversed these effects in prostatic BPH-1 and WPMY-1 cells. Additionally, ERK1/2 suppression with U0126 rescued the effects of HSPA1A silencing. In vivo, testosterone-induced BPH (T-BPH) rat models treated with the HSPA1A antagonist KNK437 exhibited prostatic atrophy and molecular changes consistent with reduced HSPA1A activity. Finally, we conducted a tissue microarray (TMA) analysis of 139 BPH specimens from Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, which revealed a positive correlation between HSPA1A expression and clinical parameters, including prostate volume (PV), tPSA, fPSA, and IPSS.

We reviewed the neural circuits related to sleep disorders, along with alterations in connectivity and brain region functions, based on advancements in electrophysiology and optogenetic/chemogenetic techniques. We subsequently outline the cellular and molecular modifications linked to sleep disorders in preclinical studies, primarily involving changes in neuronal metabolism, electrophysiological activity, synaptic plasticity, and glial cells. Correspondingly, on the basis of the crosstalk between the brain and peripheral organs, we elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the involvement of celiac disease and hepatic disease in the pathogenesis of sleep disorders.

Here, we provided evidence that Fusobacterium nucleatum upregulated integrin α5 (ITGA5) in CRC in both human patients and murine models. Knocking down ITGA5 in CRC cells weakened the ability of F. nucleatum to stimulate their malignant characteristics. Fusobacterium nucleatum increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration, which in turn promoted interaction between E-cadherin and Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), resulting in KLF4 phosphorylation and translocation in the nucleus, where it induced ITGA5 transcription and activated the downstream signaling. Knocking down E-cadherin or chelating Ca2+ with BAPTA-AM antagonized the impact of F. nucleatum on KLF4, whereas knocking down KLF4 or chelating Ca2+ antagonized the bacteria's oncogenic role. Knocking down KLF4 or ITGA5 attenuated F. nucleatum–induced growth of patient-derived organoids, subcutaneous xenografts, and orthotopic tumors, as well as liver metastasis in nude mice. Integrin α5 antibody antagonized the oncogenic role of F. nucleatum in vitro and in vivo.

In primary tumors, 18F-FAPI-04 was associated with higher levels of poorly differentiated PDAC, compared to those with moderately differentiated tumors. Notably, the SUVmax of 18F-FAPI-04 in primary tumors demonstrated a significant correlation with pathological differentiation and served as an independent prognostic factor for peritoneal metastasis, rather than lymph node or liver metastasis.
