Here, we investigated the role of DEAD-box helicase 3, X-linked (DDX3X) in immune-mediated liver injury. Liver injury was induced in C57BL/6J mice via concanavalin A (Con A). DDX3X hepatocyte-specific knockout (DDX3X<sup>ΔHep</sup>) mice and control (DDX3X<sup>fl/fl</sup>) mice were utilized to investigate the role of DDX3X in liver injury. Primary hepatocytes were treated with tunicamycin (TM) to induce ER stress in vitro. The expression of DDX3X in patients with various liver diseases was evaluated. Hepatic DDX3X expression increased, and DDX3X translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus during Con A-induced liver injury. DDX3X deficiency ameliorated mouse liver injury and reduced ER stress in liver tissue. The inhibition of ER stress with 4-PBA significantly attenuated liver injury while decreasing DDX3X levels in liver tissue. However, the upregulation of hepatic DDX3X expression reversed Con A-induced liver injury and negated the protective effect of 4-PBA. Mechanistically, the nuclear translocation of DDX3X promoted ER stress-induced apoptosis through the transcriptional induction of CHOP. Moreover, DDX3X was elevated and translocated into the nucleus in patients with HBV-LF and AIH. Additionally, serum DDX3X levels markedly increased in patients with HBV-LF, and a consistent decrease in DDX3X was associated with a good prognosis. The cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation of DDX3X promotes ER stress-induced apoptosis, which is an obligatory step that drives hepatic necrosis and tissue damage.

Cancers typically originate from CSCs, making them a significant target for tumor treatment. Among the related cascades of the CSCs, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is regarded as one of the most important signaling pathways because of its association with significant upstream signaling: phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway and mitogen‑activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, which influence various activities of stem cells, including CSCs. Recent studies have shown that the mTOR pathway not only affects generation of CSCs but also the maintenance of their pluripotency. Furthermore, the maintenance of pluripotency or differentiation into specific types of cancer cells depends on the regulation of the mTOR signal in CSCs. Consequently, the clinical potential and importance of mTOR in effective cancer therapy are increasing.

In this study, we discovered that lipid peroxidation (LPO) promotes the formation of lipid rafts in the membrane, which mediated by Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long Chain Family Member 4 (ACSL4) impairs the sensitivity of melanoma cells to platinum-based drugs.

Our results reveal that ACSL4-dependent LPO is a key regulator of lipid rafts formation and antitumor immunity, and that disrupting lipid rafts has the potential to enhance platinum-based drug-induced immunogenic ferroptosis and pyroptosis in melanoma.

The objective of this project was to investigate the influence of circSEC24B on autophagy and its underlying mechanisms in CRC. To validate the presence and circular structure of circSEC24B in CRC cells and tissues, PCR and Sanger sequencing techniques were employed. Drug resistance and invasive phenotype of CRC cells were evaluated using CCK8, transwell, and Edu assays.

Interactions between circSEC24B, OTUB1, and SRPX2 were analyzed through immunofluorescence, RNA-pulldown, and RIP assays.

This chromosomal translocation is often found in patients under the age of 50 and causes a more progressive disease. The Bcl-3 gene encodes a protein belonging to the IκB family of proteins, which tightly regulates NFκB signaling by acting as an activator or repressor of transcription. Previously, we developed a second-generation Bcl-3 inhibitor that could directly interfere with Bcl-3 signaling pathway, resulting in reduced melanoma cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of a Bcl-3 inhibitor on B-cell lymphoma and leukemia cells. It was found that treatment of cells with this inhibitor caused a decrease in cell proliferation and cell survival. Furthermore, Bcl-3 inhibition in B-cell malignant cells resulted in the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and functionality, as well as the increased expression of cleaved caspase 3, indicating that cell death occurs through the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. This observation is further supported by reduced expression of cIAP1 protein 1 (cIAP1) upon treatment of cancer cells. Given the current lack of clinical advancements targeting Bcl-3 in oncology, this opens a novel avenue for the development and investigation of highly specific therapeutic interventions against B-cell malignancies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9734,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death & Disease","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11427694/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142342469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quality of such collections determines the value of the data and information generated from their analyses including expression and modifications of nucleic acids and proteins. These biomolecules are dysregulated upon ischemia and decompose once the living cells start to decay into inanimate matter. Therefore, ischemia time before final tissue preservation is the most important determinant of the quality of a tissue collection. Here we show the impact of ischemia time on tumor and matching adjacent normal tissue samples for mRNAs in 1664, proteins in 1818, and phosphosites in 1800 cases (tumor and matching normal samples) of four solid tumor types (CRC, HCC, LUAD, and LUSC NSCLC subtypes). In CRC, ischemia times exceeding 15 min impacted 12.5% (mRNA), 25% (protein), and 50% (phosphosites) of differentially expressed molecules in tumor versus normal tissues. This hypoxia- and decay-induced dysregulation increased with longer ischemia times and was observed across tumor types. Interestingly, the proteomics analysis revealed that specimen ischemia time above 15 min is mostly associated with a dysregulation of proteins in the immune-response pathway and less so with metabolic processes. We conclude that ischemia time is a crucial quality parameter for tissue collections used for target discovery and validation in cancer research.</p>","PeriodicalId":9734,"journal":{"name":"Cell Death & Disease","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11427669/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142342393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
