Targeting hexokinase 2 to induce breast cancer cell senescence

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is a key enzyme linked to high tumour cell proliferation. Its inhibitors such as 3‐bromopyruvic acid (3‐BP) induce cancer cell death, highlighting HK2 modulation as potential anti‐cancer treatment. However, standard chemotherapies often cause the emergence of senescent cancer cells, which goes along with cell ...

IAP Antagonists Selectively Eliminate Therapy‐Induced Senescent Cancer Cells via TNFα‐Independent Apoptosis

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Upon chemotherapy, a subset of cancer cells enters a senescent state, referred to as TIS. When IAP antagonists are administered, TIS cells are selectively eliminated through TNFα‐independent apoptosis. TNFα secreted by TIS cancer cells may also act in a paracrine manner to enhance extrinsic apoptosis in neighboring non‐senescent cancer cells.

Ageing‐Dependent Thyroid Hormone Receptor α Reduction Activates IP3R1‐Meditated Ca2+ Transfer in MAM and Exacerbates Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Mice

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During skeletal muscle ageing, down‐regulation of TRα expression activates IP3R1 transcriptional expression, promotes MAM calcium transport, triggers mitochondrial calcium overload and apoptosis, leading to skeletal muscle atrophy. Restoring TRα expression can improve IP3R1‐mediated mitochondrial calcium overload and apoptosis in ageing skeletal muscle

Structural analysis of the NifL‐NifA complex reveals the molecular basis of anti‐activation of nitrogen fixation gene expression in Azotobacter vinelandii

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Using cryo‐EM combined with biochemical and genetic approaches, we mapped the interaction surface between NifL and NifA to gain insights into the regulation of nitrogen fixation genes in A. vinelandii. Our findings suggest that NifL, a homolog of histidine kinases lacking phosphorylation activity, evolved to act as a steric block of NifA activity ...

Moderate increase of MET in hepatocytes protects against cholestatic liver injury by promoting an effective antioxidant response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Moderate overexpression of wild‐type Met in hepatocytes (Alb‐R26Met mouse model) boosts a strong antioxidant response dependent on the glutathione system while impairing TGF‐β signaling in the liver. This leads to improved liver regeneration and protects against DDC‐induced injury, a model for cholestatic disease sharing features with primary ...

Cellular Morphometric Analysis (CellMorph)—a comprehensive imaging‐based tool for quantifying cellular phenotype heterogeneity and dynamics across biological processes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
CellMorph is a groundbreaking tool that allows researchers to analyze multiple features from single cells, including cell size and shape, cytosolic staining and subcellular texture, nuclear staining, and morphometry. By evaluating images from both bright‐field and fluorescence microscopy, it also tracks changes in living cells during key processes such
