RAC1 nitration at Y32 IS involved in the endothelial barrier disruption associated with lipopolysaccharide-mediated acute lung injury

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2021
Acute lung injury (ALI), a devastating illness induced by systemic inflammation e.g., sepsis or local lung inflammation e.g., COVID-19 mediated severe pneumonia, has an unacceptably high mortality and has no effective therapy.

Calhm6 Governs Macrophage Polarization Through Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 Axis and Ectosomal Delivery in Inflammatory Responses

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Calhm6 drives M2 macrophage polarization via the Chp1‐Camk4‐Creb1 axis, suppressing inflammation through calcium‐dependent ectosomal delivery. Calhm6 deficiency enhances M1 responses, boosting bactericidal activity but exacerbating tissue damage. LPS/IFNγ upregulate Calhm6 via Irf1, while IL‐4/Stat6 inhibits it, balancing immune outcomes.

A missense variant at the RAC1-PAK1 binding site of RAC1 inactivates downstream signaling in VACTERL association

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
RAC1 at 7p22.1 encodes a RAC family small GTPase that regulates actin cytoskeleton organization and intracellular signaling pathways. Pathogenic RAC1 variants result in developmental delay and multiple anomalies.

Mechanical Cues Regulate Cargo Sorting and Export at the Golgi

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A pathway is identified linking extracellular matrix stiffness to secretion via Src–FAK–AMPK–GBF1 signaling. Golgi‐localized GBF1 acts as a mechanotransducer whose phosphorylation controls post‐Golgi cargo sorting toward secretion or lysosomal degradation.

A New Twist to Ibuprofen: Alternative Action in Alternative Splicing

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal, 2019
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is a widely used medication. One indication of NSAID use is long-term chemoprevention to decrease the risk of developing various types of cancer, in particular colorectal cancer.

Rac1 S71 Mediates the Interaction between Rac1 and 14-3-3 Proteins

open access: yesCells, 2019
Both 14-3-3 proteins (14-3-3s) and Rho proteins regulate cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration, which suggests a possible interaction between the signaling pathways regulated by these two groups of proteins.

Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Implants for Sustained Release of Oxaliplatin and Resiquimod to Prevent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Post‐Radiofrequency Ablation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Preparation of a biopolymer‐based immune implant (BI) for the sustained release of R848 and oxaliplatin (OXA), enabling immune activation and preventing recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global challenge due to limited therapies and high ...

Platelet Rho GTPase regulation in physiology and disease

open access: yesPlatelets, 2019
Rho GTPases are master orchestrators of cytoskeletal dynamics and serve critical roles in platelet physiology to promote hemostasis or pathology in thrombotic, inflammatory and other disease states.

Myocardium-Specific Deletion of Rac1 Causes Ventricular Noncompaction and Outflow Tract Defects

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
Background: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a cardiomyopathy that can lead to arrhythmias, embolic events and heart failure. Despite our current knowledge of cardiac development, the mechanisms underlying noncompaction of the ventricular ...

Mechanotransduction in Shaping Immunity: Pathways, Crosstalk, and Pathophysiological Relevance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review comprehensively summarizes the role of mechanotransduction in shaping immunity. It details how immune cells respond to biomechanical cues via mechanotransduction cascades and emphasizes the mechanical crosstalks within the immune microenvironment. The emerging significance of mechanoimmunology in both health and diseases is also highlighted.
