Article Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease with an unclear pathogenesis. This study aimed to elucidate the function and potential mechanisms of TUG1 in IPF progression. Cell viability and migration were detected by CCK-8 and transwell assays. Autophagy, fibrosis, or EMT-related proteins were measured by Western blotting. Pro-inflammatory cytokine levels were assessed by ELISA kits. The subcellular localization of TUG1 was observed by FISH assay. RIP assay detected the interaction between TUG1 and CDC27. TUG1 and CDC27 was up-regulated in TGF-β1-induced RLE-6TN cells. TUG1 depletion suppressed pulmonary fibrosis via attenuating inflammation, EMT, inducing autophagy and inactivating PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in vitro and in vivo. TUG1 knockdown prevented CDC27 expression. TUG1 silencing ameliorated pulmonary fibrosis by reducing CDC27 expression and inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Introduction: Lactate has emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecule regulating various physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, lactylation, a newly identified posttranslational modification triggered by lactate accumulation, plays significant roles in human health and diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lactate/lactylation in respiratory diseases.

Aging is characterized by a gradual decline in the functionality of all the organs and tissues, leading to various diseases. As the global population ages, the urgency to develop effective anti-aging strategies becomes increasingly critical due to the growing severity of associated health problems. Immunotherapy offers novel and promising approaches to combat aging by utilizing approaches including vaccines, antibodies, and cytokines to target specific aging-related molecules and pathways.

S-glutathionylation (SSG), a redox-sensitive post-translational modification mediated by glutathione, regulates protein structure and function through reversible disulfide bond formation at cysteine residues. Glutaredoxins (GRXs), pivotal antioxidant enzymes, catalyze SSG dynamics to maintain thiol homeostasis. Recent advances in redox proteomics have revealed that SSG dysregulation is intricately linked to neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, pulmonary and malignant diseases.

Mast cells (MCs) rapidly adapt to the microenvironment due to the plethora of cytokine receptors expressed. Understanding microenvironment-primed immune responses is essential to elucidate the phenotypic/functional changes MCs undergo, and thus understand their contribution to diseases and predict the most effective therapeutic strategies. We exposed primary human MCs to cytokines mimicking a T1/pro-inflammatory (IFNγ), T2/allergic (IL-4 + IL-13), alarmin-rich (IL-33) and pro-fibrotic/pro-tolerogenic (TGFβ) microenvironment.
