Urotensin II Receptor Deletion Mitigates Kidney Injury and Renal Lipid Remodeling in Mice Fed a Long‐Term High‐Fat Diet

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

Inhibition of neutral sphingomyelinase-2 restrains enterovirus 71 infection by autophagy

Microbial Pathogenesis
Enterovirus 71 (EV-71) is a major pathogenic factor that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease in young children and infants. Given the limited treatments for EV-71 infection, discovering new host factors and understanding the mechanisms involved will aid in combating this viral infection.

A Curcumin‐Derived HSP70 Inhibitor Disrupts Lysosomal Function to Suppress Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer Progression

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 9, September 2026.
Novel curcumin‐derived M4 binds HSP70's ATPase domain, disrupting HSP70‐mediated lysosomes‐autophagy pathway to inhibit TNBC growth and metastasis, and synergizes with paclitaxel for potent combination therapy. ABSTRACT Structural modification of curcumin yielded a novel series of 1,4‐pentadien‐3‐one oxime ether derivatives, among which compound M4 ...

Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 is required for cytokine-induced skeletal muscle calpain activation.

Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol, 2015
Calpain contributes to infection-induced diaphragm dysfunction but the upstream mechanism(s) responsible for calpain activation are poorly understood. It is known, however, that cytokines activate neutral sphingomyelinase (nSMase) and nSMase has downstream effects with the potential to increase calpain activity. We tested the hypothesis that infection-

Ligand‑Based Virtual Screening Discovery of Thienopyrimidinone Derivatives as Allosteric nSMase2 Modulators and Antivirals Against West Nile Virus

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 16, 27 August 2026.
Ligand‐based virtual screening of over five million compounds identifies a thienopyrimidinone hit as a novel allosteric nSMase2 modulator. Structure‐guided optimisation improves inhibitory potency and delivers derivatives with antiviral activity against West Nile virus, expanding the chemical space of nSMase2 inhibitors and supporting host‐directed ...

Regulation of neutral sphingomyelinase-2 by GSH: a new insight to the role of oxidative stress in aging-associated inflammation

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Oxidative stress and inflammation are fundamental for the onset of aging and appear to be causatively linked. Previously, we reported that hepatocytes from aged rats, compared with young rats, are hyperresponsive to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) stimulation and

NF1 Leucine Rich Domain‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Remodel the Glioblastoma Immune Microenvironment via an ADAM17‐Associated Inflammatory Program

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
NF1‐LRD‐derived EVs suppress glioma cells' invasion and reprogram TAMs through the ADAM17‐TNFα‐ICAM‐1 signaling axis. These EVs reduce migration recruitment, enhance pro‐inflammatory polarization, and modulate key pathways, collectively reshaping the GBM TME. (Created with Biorender.com) ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized

The regulation of T cell metabolism by neutral sphingomyelinase 2

, 2020
T cells play an essential role in the immune system. Engaging the T cell receptor (TCR) initiates a cascade of signaling events that activates the T cells. Neutral sphingomyelinase (NSM) is a member of a superfamily of enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide.
