PPM1G‒MET axis sustains AKT signaling to drive Twist‐associated EMT and drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma

VIEW, EarlyView.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is frequently resistant to targeted therapies. We identify protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+‐dependent 1G (PPM1G) as a key phosphatase that stabilizes mesenchymal‐epithelial transition factor (MET) by inhibiting its ubiquitination, thereby sustaining protein kinase B (AKT) signaling and promoting Twist‐mediated epithelial ...

Update on Non‐Biological and RNA‐Based Therapeutics in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: Precision Medicine Through Small Molecules: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the last decades, critical advancements in research technology and knowledge on disease mechanisms steered therapeutic approaches for chronic inflammatory diseases towards unprecedented target specificity. For allergic and chronic lung diseases, biologic drugs pioneered this goal, acquiring on the way—through the clinical use of monoclonal ...

BRD9 inhibition as potential treatment option for testicular germ cell tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the predominant tumor in younger males. Usually, 5‐year survival rates are quite high, but 15–20% of patients with metastatic non‐seminomas are resistant to standard cisplatin‐based therapy.

UBE2C‐Mediated CD147‐CTLA‐4 Axis Promotes T Cell Exhaustion and Immunosuppressive Microenvironment in Bladder Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
UBE2C upregulates cellular CD147 and enhances its release into the tumor microenvironment both as soluble CD147 (sCD147) and packaged within tumor‐derived exosomes. These CD147‐bearing signals induce T‐cell exhaustion, marked by elevated CTLA‐4 expression and reduced secretion of effector cytokines (IFN‐γ, TNF‐α, TGF‐β), ultimately diminishing CD8+ T ...

Targeting the NR3C1‐ACSL4 Axis Triggers Ferroptosis to Overcome Radioresistance in Prostate Cancer

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
The glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1 drives prostate cancer radioresistance by upregulating ACSL4. High ACSL4 levels create a lipid metabolic vulnerability. The clinical agent DHA synergizes with ACSL4 to induce lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, effectively overcoming radioresistance.

The E‐cadherin‐Wnt‐mir‐994 Axis Repurposes a Cadherin Switch for Niche Robustness and Germline Stem Cell Maintenance

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.

RAB4A acts as a negative feedback regulator of extracellular vesicle secretion during TGF‐β signaling

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
TGF‐β signaling regulates extracellular vesicle (EV) release in cancer cells by modulating the expression and activity of genes associated with EV biogenesis. The TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of RAB4A expression facilitates fast endosomal recycling, a process that limits the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane and EV secretion. Hence,

Smad2 Preserves Corneal Stromal Homeostasis by Restraining Profibrotic Smad3/YAP/TEAD2 Transcriptional Program

Cells
Corneal transparency depends on quiescence of stromal cells derived from neural crest cells and a well-controlled extracellular matrix. Disruption of this homeostasis causes fibrotic scarring, a leading cause of blindness.

Understanding and addressing resistance to IMiDs immunomodulatory compounds in multiple myeloma

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
IMiDs are pivotal in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Mechanisms of resistance comprise cell intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, involving tumour microenvironment, immune cell dysfunction, CRBN‐dependent and independent genetic drivers and epigenetic changes.

Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activates various proteostasis control processes, including the unfolded protein response, ribosome‐associated quality control, and ER‐associated degradation. Ubiquitin and ubiquitin‐like modifications dynamically regulate these processes to determine cell fate, promoting adaptation or inducing cell death.
