Klotho‐Derived Peptide 1 Protects against Acute Kidney Injury by Directly Targeting Mitochondrial ATAD3A

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that KP1, a Klotho‐derived peptide, protects the kidney against acute kidney injury, a clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality. KP1 enters tubular epithelial cells via endocytosis, directly interacts with the mitochondrial ATAD3A/HIGD2A complex, thereby preventing cytochrome c release, and caspases activation, and ...

Review of the Molecular and Developmental Basis of Myhre Syndrome, Bench Research

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myhre syndrome (MS) is a connective‐tissue disorder within the acromelic dysplasia spectrum. It is characterized by congenital craniofacial, skeletal, cutaneous anomalies, respiratory, cardiovascular along with intellectual disability, deafness, and progressive fibrosis.

Genome‐wide network analysis identifies the lncRNA‐92467/miR‐205‐5p/PTPRM/CAMs axis in a rat model of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The pathogenesis of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) remains unclear. In this study, we explored its key regulatory mechanisms using animal models, RNA sequencing, and cellular assays. We found that lncRNA‐92467 functions as a ceRNA, binding miR‐205‐5p, and thereby upregulating PTPRM, inhibiting abnormal proliferation and migration of endothelial ...

PCK2 promotes invasion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in triple-negative breast cancer by promoting TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling through inhibiting TRIM67-mediated SMAD3 ubiquitination

Cancer Biology & Therapy
PCK2, which encodes mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-M), is upregulated in various cancers. We demonstrated high expression of PEPCK-M in approximately half of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) previously.

Long Noncoding RNA H19 Mediates STAT3‐Dependent Activation of Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts in Systemic Sclerosis Skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Dermal systemic sclerosis (SSc) fibroblasts and their exosomes can activate keratinocytes in SSc, with long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 highlighted as the most up‐regulated RNA in their cargo compared with healthy controls (HCs). The role of H19 in SSc pathogenesis has never been investigated.

The phosphorylation of Smad3 by CaMKIIγ leads to the hepatocyte pyroptosis under perfluorooctane sulfonate exposure

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant and accumulated in the liver of mammals. PFOS exposure is closely associated with the development of pyroptosis. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism is unclear. We found here that PFOS

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...
