EBV is particularly lymphotropic regarding its latency, meaning that it preferentially targets lymphocytes as its immunological niche. During the establishment of the complex virus–host relationships, the virus influences the human host cell transcriptome inducing changes in RNA quantity and quality aided by a multitude of virally encoded molecules such as microRNAs, lncRNAs, peptides, and proteins. Quantitative changes in human gene expression of infected host cells are due to epigenetic mechanisms, such as altered promoter methylation patterns and altered microRNA- or lncRNA-based post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms. The quality of the human transcriptome is altered including changes in chemical RNA modifications and alterations in alternative splicing (AS) patterns. These molecular mechanisms contribute to the immune evasion of EBV, enhanced host cell proliferation and desensitization to apoptosis induction. These mechanisms are highly relevant to the process of malignant transformation of infected host cells, highlighting the tumorigenic potential of EBV. This review article addresses the role of AS in malignant transformation of EBV-infected host cells. For this purpose, publicly available transcriptome datasets from EBV-positive human Burkitt lymphomas (BL) were analyzed in an EBV-copy number dependent manner.

Similarly, c-Myc is well-established as a key regulator of cell proliferation, differentiation, and metabolic homeostasis. While studies have demonstrated ZNF143's involvement in the proliferation of both normal hepatocytes and hepatoma cells, the precise mechanisms underlying ZNF143-mediated regulation of hepatocyte proliferation, as well as its potential functional interplay with c-Myc in this process, remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the dynamic expression patterns of ZNF143 and c-Myc during distinct phases of liver regeneration using a 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PHx) mouse model. To elucidate the regulatory roles of these factors in hepatocyte proliferation, we employed the mouse normal hepatocyte line AML12 and the human hepatoma cell line Huh7 as experimental models. Through MTT, CCK-8, EdU, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and Western blot, we examined the individual and combined effects of ZNF143 and c-Myc on hepatocyte proliferation. Our findings reveal that ZNF143 inhibits proliferation and cell cycle progression in AML12 cells but promotes these processes in Huh7 cells. Notably, co-overexpression (OE) of ZNF143 and c-Myc in AML12 cells inhibited proliferation and cell cycle progression, suggesting that ZNF143 exerts a dominant regulatory effect over c-Myc in normal hepatocytes.

In this study, we investigated the effects of a capybara oil-based nanoemulsion (NE-CO) on renal dysfunction in a mouse model of obesity.

NE-CO treatment significantly reduced body mass and systolic blood pressure, while improving renal function, as evidenced by decreased proteinuria and normalization of urinary creatinine levels. Histological and ultrastructural analyzes revealed marked improvements in renal cortical organization. These effects were accompanied by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory markers, enhanced antioxidant defenses, and attenuation of fibrotic remodeling.

This review examines PDE4DIP/Myomegalin as a coiled-coil-rich scaffold linking compartmentalized cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) signaling, Golgi-centrosome organization, microtubule architecture, and disease-associated pathway remodeling. At the centrosome, long PDE4D-binding myomegalin forms retain PDE4D3 and restrict local PKA activity, thereby influencing Hedgehog signaling. At the Golgi, AKAP9/AKAP450 provides a major scaffold, while selected myomegalin forms support Golgi-derived microtubule organization and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi trafficking. In KRAS-mutant colorectal cancer models, PDE4DIP promotes tumor growth and MEK inhibitor resistance through Golgi-associated NF1/RAS pathway remodeling. In non-small cell lung cancer, PDE4DIP cooperates with AKAP9 to maintain Golgi localization and stability of PKA regulatory subunit II alpha; PDE4DIP loss activates PKA/cAMP response element-binding protein signaling and suppresses tumor growth. Cardiovascular studies link myomegalin isoform 4 to sarcomeric PKA signaling, co-occurring PDE4DIP and DES variants to conduction phenotypes, and PDE4DIP dysregulation to left ventricular noncompaction-associated cellular changes, although the evidence remains context dependent. Neurological and retinal disease associations remain largely exploratory. Recent work links a PDE4DIP-AKAP9 interaction to cytoskeletal integrity and RAS-ERK/AKT signaling in podocyte injury.
