Evidence That the Protein Phosphatase Activity of PTEN Contributes to Embryonic Development and Tumor Suppression

open access: yesCancer Science, EarlyView.
Mice expressing only mutant PTEN Y138L, a protein which shows normal suppression of cellular AKT yet lacks protein phosphatase activity, die in utero, and heterozygous mice display a range of tumors. This indicates both the lipid and protein phosphatase activities of PTEN work together for normal tumor suppression and embryonic development.

SCD2 Alleviates Diabetes‐Associated Cognitive Dysfunction by Improving Microglial Lipid Metabolism

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel mechanism of microglial metabolic dysfunction in diabetic cognitive impairment. Defective SCD2 disrupts monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) metabolism, triggering mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction and leading to abnormal lipid droplet accumulation (marked by PLIN2).

Opposing roles of DGAT‐mediated lipid droplet biogenesis in the regulation of ferroptosis sensitivity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ferroptosis is driven by unrestricted peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acyl (PUFA) chains in membrane phospholipids. In triple‐negative breast cancer cells, lipid droplets (LDs) sequester dietary PUFAs, limiting their incorporation into membrane phospholipids, preventing mitochondrial damage, and reducing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis.

Arsenite methyltransferase 3 is required for mitochondrial function and hepatic lipid metabolism

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
AS3MT is a protein that helps the body process arsenic, a naturally occurring toxin found in water and soil. We discovered it also helps cells make and use energy properly. Without AS3MT, cells' mitochondria do not work well, leading to fatty liver and reduced activity. Increasing AS3MT in liver cells restores energy and protects against arsenic damage,

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

From hepatic to hematopoietic: LRH‐1's expanding cellular repertoire to the immune system

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The nuclear receptor LRH‐1 is a well‐characterized regulator of endodermal tissue. Yet, increasing evidence indicates that LRH‐1, although expressed at low levels, is also a critical regulator of the hematopoietic system. LRH‐1 regulates the immune system by contributing to immune cell‐specific functions.

Pemafibrate Improves Cholestatic Markers Regardless of the Presence of Primary Biliary Cholangitis

open access: yesHepatology Research, EarlyView.
Pemafibrate improves liver function markers related to bile flow in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), but whether this effect is disease‐specific remains unclear. In this study, pemafibrate reduced these markers in patients with and without PBC, suggesting broader effects on bile flow beyond PBC.
