4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute myocardial injury through activation of the KLF4/p62 axis
This study investigated the role of 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate (ATPR), a derivative of ATRA, in myocardial injury caused by sepsis. Male C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS to establish a sepsis model. H9c2 cells were stimulated by LPS to establish an injury model. We observed that ATPR improved myocardial injury in mice, which was presented in terms of an increased glutathione (GSH) level and reduced production of malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as an increased number of mitochondrial cristae and maintenance of the mitochondrial membrane integrity. ATPR improved cardiac function in the LPS-...

Tumor suppressor miR-361-3p inhibits prostate cancer progression through Gli1 and AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
CONCLUSIONS: Downregulation of miR-361-3p along the Gli1 axis promoted tumor malignancy. Collectively, the results of this study imply that miR-361-3p has the potential to be both a biomarker and therapeutic target in PCa.PMID:38048859 | DOI:10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110998 (Source: Cellular Signalling)

M6A reader YTHDF1 promotes malignant progression of laryngeal squamous carcinoma through activating the EMT pathway by EIF4A3
This study delved into the function and mechanism of the m6A reading protein YTHDF1 in LSCC. It was found that YTHDF1 was highly expressed in the TCGA database and LSCC tissues. Cell function experiments confirmed that the downregulation of YTHDF1 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of LSCC cells. Further studies revealed that EIF4A3 was a downstream target gene of YTHDF1, and knockdown of EIF4A3 similarly significantly inhibited the malignant progression of LSCC in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. The molecular mechanism studies suggested that YTHDF1-EIF4A3 may promote the mali...

Mitocurcumin utilizes oxidative stress to upregulate JNK/p38 signaling and overcomes Cytarabine resistance in acute myeloid leukemia
Cell Signal. 2023 Dec 2:111004. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.111004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of blood cancer that is characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal myeloid cells. The goal of AML treatment is to eliminate the leukemic blasts, which is accomplished through intensive chemotherapy. Cytarabine is a key component of the standard induction chemotherapy regimen for AML. However, despite a high remission rate, 70-80% of AML patients relapse and develop resistance to Cytarabine, leading to poor clinical outcomes. Mitocurcumin (MitoC), a derivative of curcumin that enters mi...

DDX24 promotes tumor progression by mediating hexokinase-1 induced glycolysis in gastric cancer
Cell Signal. 2023 Dec 1:110995. doi: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2023.110995. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic reprogramming allows tumor cells to meet high demand of biogenesis and increased energy for rapid proliferation. Gastric cancer (GC) ranks among the most prevalent malignancies globally. Exploring the underlying mechanisms of glycolytic reprogramming in GC could provide new therapeutic target for GC treatment. Here, we showed that DEAD-box helicase 24 (DDX24) played a critical role in hexokinase-1 (HK1) induced glycolysis. DDX24 expression was significantly elevated in GC tissues and was closely associated with worse...
