Inhibition of Ubiquitin Ligase F-box and WD Repeat Domain-containing 7α (Fbw7α) Causes Hepatosteatosis through Krüppel-like Factor 5 (KLF5)/Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) Pathway but Not SREBP-1c Protein in Mice [PDF]
F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7α (Fbw7α) is the substrate recognition component of a ubiquitin ligase that controls the degradation of factors involved in cellular growth, including c-Myc, cyclin E, and c-Jun.

The loss of Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 26 (USP26) in osteoblasts results in decreased bone formation, as well as multi‐organ fibrosis associated with insulin resistance (IR). Mechanistically, the absence of USP26 reduces glycolysis and lactate accumulation, leading to decreased histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18LA) in the promoter region of KH ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Examination of Fluconazole-Induced Alopecia in an Animal Model and Human Cohort. [PDF]
Fluconazole-induced alopecia is a significant problem for patients receiving long-term therapy. We evaluated the hair cycle changes of fluconazole in a rat model and investigated potential molecular mechanisms.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 promotes acute cellular and systemic inflammation. [PDF]
Inflammatory critical illness is a syndrome that is characterized by acute inflammation and organ injury, and it is triggered by infections and noninfectious tissue injury, both of which activate innate immune receptors and pathways.

Nap1l4a is required in erythropoiesis and hypoxia responses via physical interaction with Klf1 and Scl to recruit the histone variant H2A.Z. This facilitates its associated cis‐regulatory element (CRE) remodeling and the consequent chromatin assembly, and activates the transcription of erythroid lineage‐specific genes.

Kruppel-like factor 4-dependent Staufen1-mediated mRNA decay regulates cortical neurogenesis
While being known as a transcription factor, Kruppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) may have other molecular functions. This study shows that Klf4 in neural progenitor cells regulate neurogenesis and self-renewal by interacting with RNA-binding protein Staufen1 ...

MC‐LR stabilizes DNMT1/3a by blocking their ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, leading to Gpx4 promoter hypermethylation and E2F4/NCoR‐associated transcriptional repression, which drives renal tubular ferroptosis in mice. Pharmacological inhibition of DNA methylation (SGI‐1027) or ferroptosis (Fer‐1) disrupts this DNMT‐GPX4 axis, thereby alleviating MC‐LR‐

Krüppel-like factor 4 acts as an oncogene in colon cancer stem cell-enriched spheroid cells. [PDF]
Cancer stem cells (CSCs), a rare population in any type of cancers, including colon cancer, are tumorigenic. It has been thought that CSCs are responsible for cancer recurrence, metastasis, and drug resistance.
