Article Abstract

Objectives: Despite recent research highlighting the critical function of RIO kinase 3 (RIOK3) in a variety of malignancies, a comprehensive evaluation of RIOK3 in human tumors is absent. Our study helps to clarify the molecular mechanism of RIOK3 in carcinogenesis from multiple perspectives.

Methods: Our research looked into the potential oncogenic role of RIOK3 in 33 cancers using TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas), GTEx (Genotype-Tissue Expression Project), GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) datasets, and several bioinformatics tools.

Results: RIOK3 expression in tumors is disordered compared to normal tissue, and it is highly linked with the level of MMR (Mismatch repair) gene mutations and DNA methyltransferase expression. According to univariate survival analysis, it could be used as an independent prognostic factor. Further investigation demonstrated that RIOK3 expression was correlated with cancer-associated fibroblast, neutrophil, and endothelial infiltration levels in kidney cancer and was positively correlated with the expression of immune checkpoint markers in different cancers. The functional pathways of RIOK3 also included cell-cell adhesion, protein phosphorylation, and innate immune-related functions.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that RIOK3 could be used as an immunological and prognostic biomarker in various malignant tumors.

Neuroblastoma (NB), a pediatric solid malignancy, is distinguished by hetergenous clinical characteristics, including tumor aggressiveness or spontaneous regression. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic approaches underlying these processes are still mainly unknown. Herein, RAR-related orphan receptor B (RORB) as a transcription factor repressing nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling involved in lysosomal biogenesis of NB.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. RSV infection can result in mortality rates as high as 20%, attributable not only to viral replication but also to an excessive host immune response. Current therapeutic options are limited, partly due to gaps in understanding the host immune response, especially the role of macrophages and their signaling pathways.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies with few effective therapies available. We previously determined the essential role of Zic family member 5 (ZIC5) in the survival of PDAC cells. In this study, we showed that targeting ZIC5 can effectively shrink PDAC tumors treated with gemcitabine in vivo and investigated the molecular mechanisms involved.

RNF10 and RIOK3 facilitate 40S ribosomal subunit degradation upon 60S biogenesis disruption or amino acid starvation.

The initiation-specific ribosome-associated quality control pathway (iRQC) is activated when translation initiation complexes fail to transition to elongation-competent 80S ribosomes. Upon iRQC activation, RNF10 ubiquitylates the 40S proteins uS3 and uS5, which leads to 40S decay. How iRQC is activated in the absence of pharmacological translation inhibitors and what mechanisms govern iRQC capacity and activity remain unanswered questions.

Enterovirus infections are implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as viral myocarditis, meningitis, and pancreatitis. These infections activate innate and inflammatory immune responses upon viral entry into host cells. However, the precise mechanisms through which enteroviruses induce inflammation to facilitate viral replication remain unclear.
