Prolyl isomerase Pin1 promotes autophagy and cancer cell viability through activating FoxO3 signalling
Cell Signal. 2024 Jan;113:110940. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110940. Epub 2023 Oct 30.ABSTRACTPin1-directed prolyl isomerization is a central common oncogenic mechanism to drive tumorigenic processes. However, the role of Pin1 in cellular autophagy is still poorly understood. Here we report that pharmacological inhibition of Pin1 decreased the formation of autophagosome/autolysosomes upon nutrient starvation. Inhibition of Pin1 reduced, whereas forced expression of Pin1 increased, the level of LC3 and viability of U2OS and PANC-1 cells. Pin1 could augment the accumulation of LC3 upon chloroquine treatment, while chloroqui...

Immunogenicity of cancer cells: An overview
Cell Signal. 2024 Jan;113:110952. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110952. Epub 2023 Oct 29.ABSTRACTThe immune system assumes a pivotal role in the organism's capacity to discern and obliterate malignant cells. The immunogenicity of a cancer cell pertains to its proficiency in inciting an immunological response. The prowess of immunogenicity stands as a pivotal determinant in the triumph of formulating immunotherapeutic methodologies. Immunotherapeutic strategies include immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, and on vaccines. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) epitomizes a form of cellular demis...

Rev-erb α attenuates diabetic myocardial injury through regulation of ferroptosis
Cell Signal. 2023 Dec 10:111006. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.111006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes is a widespread disease that threatens the life and health of human beings, and diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the major complications of diabetic patients. The pathological mechanisms of DCM are complex, including inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress that have been reported previously. Although recent studies suggested that ferroptosis is also involved in the progression of DCM, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Rev-erbα cardiac conditional knockout mice were generated and ty...

LncRNA MAGI2-AS3 inhibites tumor progression by up-regulating STAM via interacting with miR-142-3p in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Cell Signal. 2024 Jan;113:110954. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110954. Epub 2023 Oct 28.ABSTRACTRevealing the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in inducing dysregulated pathological responses to external signals may identify therapeutic targets for inhibiting the progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Non-coding RNAs belong to a class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but possess diverse biological functions, playing essential roles in the occurrence and development of metastatic and proliferative tumors. To investigate the impact of the upstream interaction between miR-142-3p and lncRNA MAGI2-AS3...

The role and mechanism of HIF-1 α-mediated glypican-3 secretion in hypoxia-induced tumor progression in hepatocellular carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Hypoxia promoted secretion of exosomal GPC3 through the activation of HIF-1α. GPC3-deficient exosomes inhibited the proliferation, migration and EMT of HCC cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and suppressed the angiogenic potential of HUVECs. This provided a novel understanding of the role of exosomal GPC3 in HCC progression.PMID:38081444 | DOI:10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.111007 (Source: Cellular Signalling)

Molecular mechanisms of pelvic organ prolapse influenced by FBLN5 via FOSL1/miR-222/MEIS1/COL3A1 axis
This study delves into the role of FBLN5 in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its molecular mechanisms, focusing on the FOSL1/miR-222/MEIS1/COL3A1 axis. Gene relationships linked to POP were confirmed using bioinformatics databases like GEO and StarBase. Primary human uterosacral ligament fibroblasts (hUSLF) were extracted and subjected to mechanical stretching. Cellular cytoskeletal changes were examined via phalloidin staining, intracellular ROS levels with a ROS kit, cell apoptosis through flow cytometry, and cell senescence using β-galactosidase staining. FBLN5's downstream targets were identified, and the interaction b...
