Junctional adhesion molecule-like protein (JAML), a type-I transmembrane glycoprotein, activates downstream signaling pathways. However, the precise role of macrophage-derived JAML in inflammation and atherosclerosis remains unclear. This study aimed to generate mice with macrophage-specific deletion or overexpression of JAML, with the focus of assessing its impact on macrophage function and elucidating its regulatory mechanism in atherosclerosis. High-throughput data screening was employed to investigate JAML expression in atherosclerosis, and macrophage-specific JAML-knockout and transgenic mice models were utilized to examine the effects of JAML on atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the role of JAML was assessed using Oil Red O staining, RNA-sequencing analysis, and co-immunoprecipitation techniques. Increased JAML expression was observed in macrophages from both mice and patients with atherosclerosis. Macrophage-specific JAML deletion attenuated atherosclerosis and inflammation, whereas macrophage-specific JAML overexpression exacerbated these conditions. Mechanistically, JAML deletion inhibited inflammation by decreasing nuclear translocation of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and PKM2/p65 complex formation, which consequently suppressed the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that macrophage-expressed JAML facilitates the progression of atherosclerosis by activating the NF-κB pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome through nuclear migration and phosphorylation of PKM2. Notably, our study revealed a novel mechanism for the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in atherosclerosis. Therefore, targeting JAML may be an effective treatment strategy for atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by chronic inflammation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9731,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death and Differentiation","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143723214","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}

We therefore aimed at exploring BMP mechanisms of action in medulloblastoma. Patient-derived tumors from different subgroups were analyzed in mouse xenografts, complemented by independent tumor immunohistochemical analysis. Cell-based assays analyzed signaling mechanisms.

Active BMP signaling, detected as nuclear and phosphorylated SMAD1/5, characterized several medulloblastoma subgroups, with enrichment in Group 4, SHH and Group 3 tumors. Spatial transcriptomics in tumor areas, complemented by transcriptomic analysis of multiple cell models, identified BMP-dependent transcriptional induction of the <i>LIM-homeobox gene 2</i> (<i>LHX2</i>). BMP signaling via SMADs induced <i>LHX2</i> expression and LHX2 transcriptionally induced BMP type I receptor (ACVR1) expression by association with the proximal promoter region of the <i>ACVR1</i> gene.

Here, we demonstrated that SIRT7 is predominantly expressed in immune tissues, especially in adaptive immune cells, including T cells. Through proteomics, lysine succinylome, and acetylome analysis of spleen from wild-type (WT) and <i>Sirt7</i>^{<i>−/−</i>} mice, we identified significant succinylation of proteins involved in the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism pathway in <i>Sirt7</i>^{<i>−/−</i>} mice.

However, the intricate mechanisms governing these processes remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify ATOH8, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, as a key player in ferroptosis regulation. ATOH8 is significantly upregulated in tumor cells following treatment with a ferroptosis inducer. Overexpression of ATOH8 increases the susceptibility of tumor cells to ferroptosis, while deletion of ATOH8 promotes ferroptosis evasion. Mechanistically, ATOH8 confers the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis by suppressing the transcription of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD). Additionally, another bHLH family member, TCF3, is found to functions as a co-factor with ATOH8 by forming a TCF3-ATOH8 transcriptional repressive complex that suppresses SCD transcription. Furthermore, searching for upstream element reveals that EZH2 epigenetically suppresses ATOH8 expression by promoting DNA methylation in the ATOH8 promoter region and increasing the level of H3K27 me3. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 in a combined with a ferroptosis inducer markedly impedes tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.

In this study, we uncovered a novel primate-specific isoform, RBM38c, with 32 extra amino acids from exon 2, which imparts a distinct capacity to promote autophagy upon DNA damage. TP53 increases RBM38c expression upon DNA damage, while TRIM21 facilitates its K63-linked ubiquitination at lysine (K) 35. Activated RBM38c enhances its interaction with BECN1, promoting the formation of the ATG14-containing PtdIns3K-C1 complex and thus autophagy initiation. A K35R mutation or TRIM21 deficiency impairs RBM38c ubiquitination, preventing autophagy activation upon DNA damage. Moreover, RBM38c-driven autophagy protects cells from DNA damage-induced apoptosis and promotes survival, with this beneficial effect susceptible to suppression by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine. Consequently, depleting RBM38c enhances the efficacy of DNA-damaging drugs by impairing autophagy and increasing DNA damage.
