Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

An Apoptotic Caspase Network Safeguards Cell Death Induction in Pyroptotic Macrophages
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Pyroptosis has emerged as a key mechanism by which inflammasomes promote host defense against microbial pathogens and sterile inflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated cell lysis is a hallmark of pyroptosis, but our understanding of cell death ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Nuclear prothymosin α inhibits epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cancer by increasing Smad7 acetylation and competing with Smad2 for binding to SNAI1, TWIST1, and ZEB1 promoters. In early‐stage cancer, ProT suppresses TGF‐β‐induced EMT, while its loss in the nucleus in late‐stage cancer leads to enhanced EMT and poor prognosis.

Glutathione peroxidase 8 negatively regulates caspase‐4/11 to protect against colitis
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019 Human caspase‐4 and its mouse homolog caspase‐11 are receptors for cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide. Activation of the caspase‐4/11‐dependent NLRP3 inflammasome is required for innate defense and endotoxic shock, but how caspase‐4/11 is modulated remains ...

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular
