Article Abstract
Background: The importance of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in tumorigenesis and progression have been highlighted. This study aimed to investigate the modification of insulin receptor substrate 1 () by m6A and its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Methods: Bioinformatics was employed to predict differential genes related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in OSCC. Seventeen pairs of OSCC and paracancerous tissue samples were collected. The impact of IRS1 on OSCC cell growth and EMT was evaluated. The fluctuations in enrichment and the involvement of p53/Line-1 were investigated.
Results: IRS1 was highly expressed in OSCC. IRS1 silencing decreased OSCC cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. IRS1 silencing hindered EMT by regulating related markers. IRS1 silencing upregulated p53 and downregulated Line-1 ORF1p. The p53 inhibition reversed the effects of IRS1 silencing and induced EMT in OSCC cells. Furthermore, the m6A modification of was increased in OSCC cells. IRS1 were positively regulated by the m6A regulators methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and YTH domain-containing protein 1 (YTHDC1). IRS1 bound to YTHDC1, and YTHDC1 knockdown inhibited the IRS1 nuclear export. The obesity-associated protein (FTO) negatively regulated IRS1, and FTO overexpression reversed the IRS1-induced OSCC tumor growth.
Conclusions: m6A methylation-mediated regulated EMT in OSCC through p53/Line-1. These findings provide potential therapeutic strategies for managing OSCC.

Background & Aims: Hepatic fibrosis is a progressive response to chronic liver injury. A key event in the development of hepatic fibrosis is the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs); emerging research indicates that microRNAs play crucial roles in regulating HSCs activation. However, the specific roles of miR-126-3p (miR-126) and miR-195-5p (miR-195) in liver fibrosis remain inadequately understood.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with impaired glucose metabolism. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) plays a critical role in cellular metabolic regulation; however, its involvement in PCOS pathogenesis remains unclear. Bioinformatics analysis revealed significantly increased TXNIP expression in both PCOS patients and mouse ovarian granulosa cells (GCs).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate that AKT1-Mediated NOTCH1 phosphorylation promotes gastric cancer (GC) progression via targeted regulation of IRS-1 transcription.
Methods: The study utilized databases such as PhosphositePlus, TRANSFAC, CHEA, GPS 5.0, and TCGA, along with experimental techniques including Western Blot, co-IP, in vitro kinase assay, construction of lentiviral overexpression and silencing vectors, immunoprecipitation, modified proteomics, immunofluorescence, ChIP-PCR, EdU assay, Transwell assay, and scratch assay to investigate the effects of AKT1-induced Notch1 phosphorylation on cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro, as well as growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in vivo.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of protein kinase D2 (PKD2) in regulating insulin signaling and metabolic homeostasis in the liver, as its functions are not yet fully understood.
- Using various experimental methods, including PKD2 overexpression and specific gene depletion in mouse models, researchers assessed how PKD2 affects insulin responses and glucose metabolism.
- Findings reveal that PKD2 inhibits insulin signaling by modifying the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), and suggest that PKD2 could be targeted therapeutically to combat hepatic insulin resistance.
