Article Abstract

Phytohormones enable plants to regulate their development, growth and physiology according to the environmental requirements. Knowledge about the underlying signaling mechanisms, combined with the ability to pharmacologically or genetically manipulate phytohormone responses is steadily being incorporated into modern plant biology research and agriculture. This knowledge also enabled the development of genetically encoded phytohormone indicators that allow the tracking of spatiotemporal phytohormone dynamics and signaling processes in vivo. This review aims to provide an overview about core phytohormone signaling mechanisms, and about genetic tools for the manipulation and in vivo tracking of phytohormone actions.

Background/aims: Ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of the ubiquitin-like modifier (UBL) family, is significantly overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor progression. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of UBD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UBD knockdown on the progression of RA.

Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common chronic degenerative diseases, with chondrocyte apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation as the major pathological changes. The mechanical stimulation can attenuate chondrocyte apoptosis and promote ECM synthesis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the role of primary cilia (PC) in mediating the effects of mechanical stimulation on OA progression.

Background: High-dose insulin and euglycemic therapy are widely used to treat calcium channel blocker toxicity. However, the effect of insulin on vasodilation evoked by the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine remains unknown. This study examined the effect of insulin on amlodipine-induced vasodilation in isolated rat aortas with specific emphasis on mechanisms associated with nitric oxide (NO).

The Mediterranean Basin, a hotspot for tomato production, is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, where rising temperatures and increasing soil and water salinization represent major threats to agricultural sustainability. Thus, to understand the molecular mechanisms behind plant responses to this stress combination, an RNA-Seq analysis was conducted on roots and shoots of tomato plants exposed to salt (100 mM NaCl) and/or heat (42°C, 4 h each day) stress for 21 days. The analysis identified over 8000 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under combined stress conditions, with 1716 DEGs in roots and 2665 in shoots being exclusively modulated in response to this specific stress condition.

RAB25/GCN1 Signaling Promotes ER Stress to Mediate Alcohol-associated Liver Disease Progression.

Department of Endoscopy, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Guangzhou, China.

Background/aims: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in hepatocytes plays a causative role in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The incomplete inhibition of ER stress by targeting canonical ER stress sensor proteins suggests the existence of noncanonical ER stress pathways in ALD pathology. This study aimed to delineate the role of RAB25 in ALD and its regulatory mechanism in noncanonical ER stress pathways.
