This results in reduced levels of p53, leading to the loss of its tumor-suppressive functions. The study focused on investigating the role of Ubiquitin-specific protease 38 (USP38) in cancer and its interaction with the MDM2-p53 axis. We revealed that USP38 positively correlates with MDM2 and negatively correlates with p53 expression. Mechanistically, USP38 directly binds to MDM2, functioning as a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) to stabilize MDM2 and suppress p53 expression. Knockout of USP38 hindered cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and enhanced apoptosis. Moreover, USP38 deficiency increased sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs and promoted ferroptosis in gastric and breast cancer cell lines. Importantly, these effects were found to be dependent on p53, as the downregulation of p53 reversed the phenotypic changes induced by USP38 knockout. These findings shed light on the oncogenic role of USP38 by modulating the MDM2-p53 axis, providing valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of USP38 in cancer and potential therapeutic strategies for gastric and breast cancer.","PeriodicalId":9731,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death and Differentiation","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the functional regulation of YAP activity by lncRNA-encoded peptides remains elusive. In this study, we report the identification of a small protein (93 aa) encoded by the lncRNA LINC01315. This small protein, termed YAPer-ORF, preferentially interacted with GNAQ/11 mutants to augment YAP activity. Mechanistically, YAPer-ORF was located in the nucleus and competed with YAP to bind the nuclear kinase PRP4K to hinder YAP phosphorylation. This decreased phosphorylation of YAP by YAPer-ORF promoted YAP retention in the nucleus and facilitated the expression of downstream target genes such as CCND1. In both cancerous and noncancerous models, YAPer-ORF prominently drove cell proliferation in a CCND1-dependent manner. Notably, cardiac-specific genetic knock-in of the human YAPer-ORF in mice significantly increased heart size through increased cardiomyocyte proliferation, underscoring the role of YAPer-ORF in cell proliferation. Moreover, treatment with an anti-YAPer-ORF neutralizing antibody effectively suppressed uveal melanoma growth, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting YAPer-ORF. These findings collectively establish YAPer-ORF as a critical regulator of YAP activity, further highlighting the disruption of YAPer-ORF activity as a potential therapeutic strategy against YAP-driven human cancers and developmental diseases.","PeriodicalId":9731,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death and Differentiation","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the well-described defects in DNA repair, mitochondrial dysfunction due to defects in mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) is also associated with FA, although its contribution to FA phenotypes is unknown. This study focused on the FANCC gene, which, alongside other FA genes, is integral to DNA repair and mitochondrial quality control. In the present study, we created a FANCC mutant mouse model, based on a human mutation (FANCC c.67delG) that is defective in DNA repair but proficient in mitophagy. We found that the FANCC c.67delG mutant mouse model recapitulates some phenotypes observed in FA patients, such as cellular hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents and hematopoietic defects. In contrast, FA phenotypes such as microphthalmia, hypogonadism, and infertility, present in FANCC-deficient mice, were absent in the FANCC c.67delG mice, suggesting that the N-terminal 55 amino acids of FANCC are dispensable for these developmental processes. Furthermore, the FANCC c.67delG mutation preserved mitophagy, and unlike the FANCC null mutation, did not lead to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria in cells or tissues. This study highlights the multifaceted nature of the FANCC protein, with distinct domains responsible for DNA repair and mitophagy. Our results suggest that developmental defects in FA may not solely stem from DNA repair deficiencies but could also involve other functions, such as mitochondrial quality control.","PeriodicalId":9731,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death and Differentiation","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role and signaling pathway of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in IR-induced tissue damage and cell death are not well understood. This study revealed that STING is crucial for promoting apoptosis in response to DNA damage caused by acute IR both in vitro and in vivo. STING binds to poly (ADP‒ribose) (PAR) produced by activated poly (ADP‒ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) upon IR. Compared with that in WT cells, apoptosis was suppressed in Stinggt-/gt- cells. Excessive PAR production by PARP1 due to DNA damage enhances STING phosphorylation, and inhibiting PARP1 reduces cell apoptosis after IR. In vivo, IR-induced crypt cell death was significantly lower in Stinggt-/gt- mice or with low-dose PARP1 inhibitor, PJ34, resulting in substantial resistance to abdominal irradiation. STING deficiency or inhibition of PARP1 function can reduce the expression of the proapoptotic gene PUMA, decrease the localization of Bax on the mitochondrial membrane, and thus reduce cell apoptosis. Our findings highlight crucial roles for STING and PAR in the IR-mediated induction of apoptosis, which may have therapeutic implications for controlling radiation-induced apoptosis or acute radiation symptoms.<figure>STING responds to acute ionizing radiation-mediated DNA damage by directly binding to poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) produced by activated poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1), and mainly induces cell apoptosis through Puma-Bax interaction.

Here, we found that approximately 9.18% (9/98) of our study ESCC tissues had KDM6A mutations of which 7 cases resulted in a complete loss of expression and consequent loss of demethylase function.
