Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Insulin Resistance: An Update on Biochemical and Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Impact on Various Diseases

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

JmjC catalysed histone H2a N-methyl arginine demethylation and C4-arginine hydroxylation reveals importance of sequence-reactivity relationships

Communications Biology
2-Oxoglutarate (2OG) dependent N ε -methyl lysine demethylases (JmjC-KDMs) regulate eukaryotic transcription. We report studies showing that isolated forms of all human KDM4 and KDM5 JmjC enzymes catalyse demethylation of N-methylated Arg-3 of histone ...

Fasting-induced FGF21 signaling activates hepatic autophagy and lipid degradation via JMJD3 histone demethylase

Nature Communications, 2020
Fasting induces hepatic autophagy to preserve energy homeostasis. Here the authors report that fasting induced fibroblast growth factor 21 signalling induces autophagy by activating lysine-specific demethylase 6B, leading to histone demethylation ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Fat Mass and Obesity‐Associated Protein Contributes to Tumorigenesis and Drug Resistance of Diffuse Large B‐Cell Lymphoma by Suppressing N6‐Methyladenosine Methylation of Myc

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ibrutinib resistance remains a major obstacle in the treatment of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) has been implicated in drug resistance through its regulation of N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modifications; however, whether FTO mediates ibrutinib resistance in DLBCL remains unclear.

Epigenetic Regulation of Adipogenic Differentiation by Histone Lysine Demethylation

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Obesity is a rising public health problem that contributes to the development of several metabolic diseases and cancer. Adipocyte precursors outside of adipose depots that expand due to overweight and obesity may have a negative impact on human health.

Oncogenic KRAS Rewires Stress Granule Dynamics: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic, membrane‐less structures that form in response to various cellular stresses, including metabolic, oxidative, and therapeutic challenges. They function as adaptive hubs and reorganize protein synthesis and signaling networks to help cells survive under stress. In cancer, these condensates are often hijacked to
