Article Abstract
Polyubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) regulates the error-free template-switching mechanism for the bypass of DNA lesions during DNA replication. PCNA polyubiquitination is critical for the maintenance of genomic integrity; however, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP) regulates PCNA polyubiquitination in response to DNA damage. TonEBP was recruited to DNA damage sites with bulky adducts and sequentially recruited E3 ubiquitin ligase SHPRH, followed by deubiquitinase USP1, to DNA damage sites, in correlation with the dynamics of PCNA polyubiquitination. Similarly, TonEBP was found to be required for replication fork protection in response to DNA damage. The Rel-homology domain of TonEBP, which encircles DNA, was essential for the interaction with SHPRH and USP1, PCNA polyubiquitination, and cell survival after DNA damage. The present findings suggest that TonEBP is an upstream regulator of PCNA polyubiquitination and of the DNA damage bypass pathway.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterized by a high propensity for metastasis, poor prognosis, and limited treatment options. Research has demonstrated a substantial correlation between the expression of protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) and enhanced proliferation, metastasis, and poor outcomes in TNBC. However, the specific role of PRMT1 in lung metastasis and chemoresistance remains unclear.

Cell senescence is a state of stable proliferation arrest characterized by morphological changes and high senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity. Inducing senescence in cancer cells is beneficial for cancer therapy due to proliferation arrest, however, the mechanisms underlying this process remain insufficiently understood. Therefore, the present study investigated the mechanisms of radiation-induced cellular senescence in A549 human lung cancer cells, focusing on the DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation.

Radiation exposure initiates a cascade of reactions, including the release of reactive oxygen species, DNA double-strand breaks, and cellular apoptosis, leading to cell death, tissue damage, and potentially the development of cancer. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop highly effective and low-toxicity radioprotective agents. Traditional chemically synthesized protective agents face significant limitations in clinical applicability due to their pronounced off-target toxicity, narrow therapeutic window, and high production costs.

Waterborne viruses have caused outbreaks of related diseases and threaten human health, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), as clean and efficient technologies, have received widespread attention for their excellent performance in inactivating viruses. However, heterogeneity in susceptibility of structurally distinct viruses to various reactive oxygen species (ROS) is unclear. This study first measured the heterogeneity in inactivation kinetics and biological mechanisms of four typical viral surrogates (MS2, phi6, phix174, and T4) to various ROS by visible light catalysis.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both autoimmune diseases influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, but rarely coexist. This case describes a 13-year-old girl with early onset of T1DM who was diagnosed with SLE 12 years later, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in distinguishing kidney involvement and management without exacerbating hyperglycemia. The patient presented with edema of the eyelids and lower limbs.
