Rictor Ameliorates Acute Antibody‐Mediated Rejection Following Kidney Transplantation by Suppressing Macrophage M1 Polarization Through p65‐NLRP3 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study elucidates the critical role of Rictor in macrophage activation in acute antibody‐mediated rejection (ABMR). Rictor increases K48‐linked ubiquitination of p65 by upregulating E3 ubiquitin ligase SOCS1, inhibiting transcriptional levels of NLRP3 and inflammasome activation.

NIR Driven Pd/Cerium Oxide Nano‐Heterojunction for Enhanced Salvaging Sepsis Induced Acute Liver Injury via Reprogramming Redox Homeostasis in Synergy with Inducing Autophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In vivo SALI therapy is achieved by scavenging intracellular ROS levels, downregulating inflammatory factors expression levels, inducing macrophage M2 directional polarization, and activating Keap1/Nrf‐2/HO‐1 pathway to reprogram redox homeostasis, induce cellular autophagy, reduce systemic inflammation, and promote liver tissue repair. Abstract Sepsis

Inhibition of UBE2C Promotes Parkin‐Mediated K63‐Linked Ubiquitination of TOP2A to Induce Senescence and Increase Sensitivity of Doxorubicin in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the study, UBE2C was found to be significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and transcriptionally regulated by FOXM1. Inhibition of UBE2C suppressed proliferation, induced senescence, and sensitized breast cancer cells to doxorubicin. Mechanistically, UBE2C inhibition promoted Parkin‐mediated K63‐linked ubiquitination of TOP2A.

PP2Acα Deficiency in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Accelerates Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection by Regulating KLF4 Phosphorylation and Ubiquitination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)‐specific deficiency of PP2Acα exacerbates aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) by promoting phenotypic switching through AKT1‐mediated phosphorylation and stabilization of Kruppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4). Reduced PP2Acα enhances KLF4 ubiquitination resistance, suppressing VSMC contractile genes and accelerating aortic ...

Novel Antimicrobial Protein Fibroblast Growth Factor 8 Accelerates Skin Wound Healing via Directly Inhibiting Bacteria and Activating Glycolysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wound infections induce gcFGF8a expression, which subsequently executes direct antimicrobial activity to suppress local infection while simultaneously activating the FGFR4‐mediated ERK/AKT‐mTOR signaling cascade, thereby upregulating HIF1α and enhancing glycolysis. These coordinated actions synergistically promote tissue repair by eliminating pathogens

Effects of hindlimb unloading on the mevalonate and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling pathways in a fast‐twitch muscle in rats

Physiological Reports
AbstractFast‐twitch muscles are less susceptible to disuse atrophy, activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, and increase protein synthesis under prolonged muscle disuse conditions. However, the mechanism underlying prolonged muscle disuse‐induced mTORC1 signaling activation remains unclear.

QSOX2‐Mediated Disulfide Bond Modification Enhances Tumor Stemness and Chemoresistance by Activating TSC2/mTOR/c‐Myc Feedback Loop in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High QSOX2 enhances stemness, drug resistance, and metastasis of ESCC cells. QSOX2‐mediated disulfide bond modification activates mTOR/c‐Myc signaling. CAFs‐secreted IGF‐1 drives mTOR/c‐Myc/QSOX2 positive feedback loop. Combining Ebselen, rapamycin, and cisplatin induces tumor dormancy in mice.

Gut Metabolite Indole‐3‐Propionic Acid Regulates Macrophage Autophagy Through PPT1 Inhibiting Aging‐Related Myocardial Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IPA is an intestinal tryptophan metabolite whose effects decline with decreased heart function. Supplementing IPA can alleviate the aging‐related myocardial fibrosis through PPT1. PPT1 is a key protein localized to lysosomes, and IPA can restore macrophage autophagy function by regulating PPT1 expresssions, thereby reducing aging‐related myocardial ...
