Article Abstract
YAP/TAZ have been identified as master regulators in malignant phenotypes of glioblastoma (GBM); however, YAP/TAZ transcriptional disruptor in GBM treatment remains ineffective. Whether post-transcriptional dysregulation of YAP/TAZ improves GBM outcome is currently unknown. Here, we report that insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1 or IMP1) is upregulated in mesenchymal GBM compared with proneural GBM and correlates with worse patient outcome. Overexpression of IMP1 in proneural glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) promotes while IMP1 knockdown in mesenchymal GSCs attenuates tumorigenesis and mesenchymal signatures. IMP1 binds to and stabilizes m6A-YAP mRNA, leading to activation of YAP/TAZ signaling, depending on its m6A recognition and binding domain. On the other hand, TAZ functions as enhancer for IMP1 expression. Collectively, our data reveal a feedforward loop between IMP1 and YAP/TAZ maintaining GBM/GSC tumorigenesis and malignant progression and a promising molecular target in GBM.

Enzalutamide-Resistant STEAP4 MyoCAF Secrete Phosphatidylcholine to Foster Progression by Activating Stemness in Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer.

Despite the expanding clinical application of second-generation anti-androgens like enzalutamide (ENZ) in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC), therapeutic resistance culminating in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) persists as an unresolved clinical crisis. Through comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic profiling of ENZ-naïve and ENZ-treated tumors, an expansion of ENZ-resistant myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblast (designated STEAP4 myoCAF) is identified that correlates with adverse clinical outcomes. Strikingly, STEAP4 myoCAF demonstrated intrinsic ENZ resistance through a mechanistically novel pathway involving transcription factor binding to IGHM enhancer 3 (TFE3)-mediated autophagy activation.

Metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by complex interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a pivotal role in metastatic progression, yet their molecular diversity and upstream regulators remain poorly defined. Glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB), overexpressed in subsets of tumors including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), is implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stemness.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the most lethal malignancies with limited early diagnostic and therapeutic options. Although receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) is an evolutionarily conserved scaffold protein, its functional role and mechanistic involvement in PDA pathogenesis remain elusive.
Methods: Using multimodal approaches including: (1) genetically engineered mouse models of pancreatitis and carcinogenesis, (2) patient-derived PDA tissues with matched normal specimens, (3) primary acinar cell 3D cultures, and (4) orthogonal gain/loss-of-function assays in PDA cell lines, we systematically investigated RACK1's spatiotemporal expression patterns and functional impacts.
Histone H3K27 acetylation mediated by KAT8 maintains antiviral trained immunity in shrimp induced by inactivated white spot syndrome virus.

Shrimp aquaculture is critically important for global food security, but viral diseases like white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) cause devastating economic losses, highlighting the urgent need for effective disease control strategies. While trained immunity has been observed in invertebrates like shrimp after exposure to pathogens, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here we reveal that lysine acetyltransferase KAT8-mediated histone H3K27ac is critical for antiviral defense in shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus.

Acute human alpha-herpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) infection culminates in a latent infection of neurons in trigeminal ganglia (TG) and the central nervous system. Following infection of mucosal epithelial cells, certain neurons survive infection and life-long latency is established. Periodically, stressful stimuli trigger reactivation from latency, which result in virus shedding, transmission to other people, and, occasionally, recurrent disease.
