Sea cucumber plasmalogen enhance lipophagy to alleviate abnormal lipid accumulation induced by high-fat diet
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids. 2024 Apr 10;1869(5):159495. doi: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2024.159495. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSea cucumber phospholipids, including the plasmalogen (PlsEtn) and plasmanylcholine (PakCho), have been shown to play a regulatory role in lipid metabolism disorders, but their mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore, high-fat diet (HFD) and palmitic acid were used to establish lipid accumulation models in mice and HepG2 cells, respectively. Results showed that PlsEtn can reduce lipid deposition both in vivo and in vitro. HFD stimulation abnormally activated lipophagy through the ph...

Zinc finger protein 36 like 2-histone deacetylase 1 axis is involved in the bone responses to mechanical stress
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 9:167162. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe molecular mechanism underlying the promotion of fracture healing by mechanical stimuli remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of zinc finger protein 36 like 2 (ZFP36L2)-histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) axis on the osteogenic responses to moderate mechanical stimulation. Appropriate stimulation of fluid shear stress (FSS) was performed on MC3T3-E1 cells transduced with ZFP36L2 and HDAC1 recombinant adenoviruses, aiming to validate the influence of mechanical stress on the express...

Metabolic adaptations in cancer stem cells: A key to therapy resistance
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167164. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167164. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subset of tumor cells that can initiate and sustain tumor growth and cause recurrence and metastasis. CSCs are particularly resistant to conventional therapies compared to their counterparts, owing greatly to their intrinsic metabolic plasticity. Metabolic plasticity allows CSCs to switch between different energy production and usage pathways based on environmental and extrinsic factors, including conditions imposed by conventional cancer therapies. To cope with nutrient dep...

The transcription factor bmi1 increases hypoxic signaling in oral cavity epithelia
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167161. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167161. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe tongue epithelium is maintained by a proliferative basal layer. This layer contains long-lived stem cells (SCs), which produce progeny cells that move up to the surface as they differentiate. B-lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 (Bmi1), a protein in mammalian Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) and a biomarker of oral squamous cell carcinoma, is expressed in almost all basal epithelial SCs of the tongue, and single, Bmi1-labelled SCs give rise to cells in all epithelial layers.

Transcriptomic analysis identifies dysregulated pathways and therapeutic targets in PMM2-CDG
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis. 2024 Apr 8:167163. doi: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2024.167163. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPMM2-CDG (MIM # 212065), the most common congenital disorder of glycosylation, is caused by the deficiency of phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2). It is a multisystemic disease of variable severity that particularly affects the nervous system; however, its molecular pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Currently, there is no effective treatment. We performed an RNA-seq based transcriptomic study using patient-derived fibroblasts to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the clinical symptomatology and ...

Iron ‑sulfur clusters in viral proteins: Exploring their elusive nature, roles and new avenues for targeting infections
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2024 Apr 8:119723. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2024.119723. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViruses have evolved complex mechanisms to exploit host factors for replication and assembly. In response, host cells have developed strategies to block viruses, engaging in a continuous co-evolutionary battle. This dynamic interaction often revolves around the competition for essential resources necessary for both host cell and virus replication. Notably, iron, required for the biosynthesis of several cofactors, including iron‑sulfur (FeS) clusters, represents a critical element in the ongoing competiti...
