Bif ‑1 inhibits activation of inflammasome through autophagy regulatory mechanism
Mol Med Rep. 2024 Apr;29(4):67. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13191. Epub 2024 Mar 8.ABSTRACTInflammasome activation is a crucial mechanism in inflammatory responses. Bax‑interacting factor 1 (Bif‑1) is required for the normal formation of autophagosomes, but its ability to exert an inflammatory regulatory effect remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of Bif‑1 in inflammation, possibly mediated through autophagy regulation. Using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‑induced inflammatory model in J774A.1 cells, the effect of Bif‑1 on inflammasome activation and the underly...

RICH1 is a novel key suppressor of isoproterenol ‑ or angiotensin II‑induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy
Mol Med Rep. 2024 May;29(5):69. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13193. Epub 2024 Mar 8.ABSTRACTCardiac hypertrophy is one of the key processes in the development of heart failure. Notably, small GTPases and GTPase‑activating proteins (GAPs) serve essential roles in cardiac hypertrophy. RhoGAP interacting with CIP4 homologs protein 1 (RICH1) is a RhoGAP that can regulate Cdc42/Rac1 and F‑actin dynamics. RICH1 is involved in cell proliferation and adhesion; however, to the best of our knowledge, its role in cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. In the present study, the role of RICH1 in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was assessed. Cell ...

SFRP2 suppresses trophoblast cell migration by inhibiting the Wnt/ β‑catenin pathway
Mol Med Rep. 2024 Apr;29(4):66. doi: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13190. Epub 2024 Mar 1.ABSTRACTThe present study investigates the role of Secreted Frizzled‑Related Protein 2 (SFRP2) in trophoblast cells, a key factor in preeclampsia (PE) progression. Elevated levels of Secreted Frizzled‑Related Protein 1/3/4/5 (SFRP1/3/4/5) are associated with PE, but the role of SFRP2 is unclear. We analyzed SFRP2 expression in PE placental tissue using the GSE10588 dataset and overexpressed SFRP2 in JEG‑3 cells via lentiviral transfection. The viability, migration, apoptosis, and proliferation of SFRP2‑overexpressing JEG‑3 cells were ass...
