CDK4/MERCs/PINK1 Axis Drives PFOA/HFPO‐TA‐Induced Cardiac Senescence via Mitophagy Defect and cGAS‐STING Activation: In Vitro Amelioration by Cycloastragenol

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The present study demonstrated that PFOA and HFPO‐TA exposure suppressed CDK4, disrupted MERCs and impaired PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy, thereby accelerating cardiac senescence, whereas CAG effectively reversed these pathological changes in vitro. Our findings identify CDK4 as a critical regulator bridging mitophagy defects and cardiac senescence ...

Targeting β2‐Adrenergic Receptor Stability With Lycorine Reveals a Host‐Directed Pathway for Antiviral Defense Against Poxviruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic stress drives autophagy‐mediated β2‐AR degradation, impairing antiviral immunity and promoting poxvirus lethality. Lycorine directly stabilizes β2‐AR to restore host defense, suppress excessive inflammation and improve survival. ABSTRACT Psychological stress is a pervasive yet poorly understood modulator of infectious disease outcomes. Here, we

Corynoxine Inhibits Tumor Growth via Targeting NQO1 and Modulating the PTPA–NQO1/PP2A Switch to Activate PP2A

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corynoxine exerts potent broad‐spectrum anticancer activity by directly targeting NQO1. This interaction dissociates the oncogenic NQO1‐PTPA complex, releasing PTPA to robustly activate the tumor suppressor PP2A. Consequently, downstream Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways are suppressed, downregulating c‐Myc and driving tumor regression ...
