Article Abstract
Background: We investigated the unknown mechanisms of osimertinib-resistant EGFR-mutant lung cancer.
Methods: An osimertinib-resistant cell line (PC-9/OsmR2) was established through continuous exposure to osimertinib using an EGFR exon 19 deletion (19Del) lung adenocarcinoma cell line (PC-9). EGFR 19Del (M1), L858R/T790M/C797S (M6), and L858R/C797S (M8) expression vectors were introduced into Ba/F3 cells. A second osimertinib-resistant line (M1/OsmR) was established through continuous exposure to osimertinib using M1 cells.
Results: SLC1A3 had the highest mRNA expression level in PC-9/OsmR2 compared to PC-9 cells by microarray analysis and SLC1A3 was increased by flow cytometry. In PC-9/OsmR2 cells, osimertinib sensitivity was significantly increased in combination with siSLC1A3. Because SLC1A3 functions in glutamic acid transport, osimertinib with a glutaminase inhibitor (CB-839) or an SLC1A3 inhibitor (TFB-TBOA) increased the sensitivity. Also, CB-839 plus TFB-TBOA without osimertinib resulted in greater susceptibility than did CB-839 or TFB-TBOA plus osimertinib. Comprehensive metabolome analysis showed that the M1/OsmR cells had significantly more glutamine and glutamic acid than M1 cells. CB-839 plus osimertinib exerted a synergistic effect on M6 cells and an additive effect on M8 cells.
Conclusion: Targeting glutaminase and glutamic acid may overcome the osimertinib-resistant EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic, systemic skeletal disorder characterized by progressive bone loss and microarchitectural deterioration, which increases fracture susceptibility and presents a challenging set of global healthcare problems. Current pharmacological interventions are limited by adverse effects, high costs, and insufficient long-term efficacy. Here, we identify snow crab shell-derived polypeptides (SCSP) as a potent osteoprotective agent.

Neuronal development and function are orchestrated by a plethora of regulatory mechanisms that control the abundance, localization, interactions, and function of proteins. A key role in this regard is assumed by post-translational protein modifications (PTMs). While some PTM types, such as phosphorylation or ubiquitination, have been explored comprehensively, PTMs involving ubiquitin-like modifiers (Ubls) have remained comparably enigmatic (Ubls).

Major depressive disorder affects millions worldwide, yet current treatments require prolonged administration. In contrast, ketamine produces rapid antidepressant effects by blocking spontaneous N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling, which lifts the suppression of protein synthesis and triggers homeostatic synaptic plasticity. Here, we identify a parallel signaling pathway involving metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) that promotes rapid antidepressant-like effects.

Sodium-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and resource abundance. However, their cathode materials suffer from poor conductivity and limited cycling stability. Here, we report a Prussian blue (PB)-based cathode hybridized with carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via a glutamic acid-assisted in situ coordination route.
