Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly aggressive and life-threatening malignancy that metastasizes in ~50% of patients, posing significant challenges to patient survival and treatment. Fatty acid (FA) metabolism regulates proliferation, immune escape, metastasis, angiogenesis, and drug resistance in CRC. FA metabolism consists of three pathways: de novo synthesis, uptake, and FA oxidation (FAO). FA metabolism-related enzymes promote CRC metastasis by regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Mechanistically, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, wnt/β-catenin pathway, and non-coding RNA signaling pathway are regulated by crosstalk of enzymes related to FA metabolism. Given the important role of FA metabolism in CRC metastasis, targeting FA metabolism-related enzymes and their signaling pathways is a potential strategy to treat CRC metastasis.

Metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a severe form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) characterized by hepatocellular injury, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms driving MASH progression remain unclear. This study investigates the role of long non-coding RNA Linc01271 in MASLD/MASH pathogenesis, ant its involvement in the miR-149-3p/RAB35 axis and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

In legume root nodules, rhizobia invade host cells to form symbiosomes that drive atmospheric nitrogen fixation. Although the metabolic roles of infected cells (ICs) are well established, the contributions of adjacent uninfected cells (UCs) have remained largely unexplored. Here, through forward genetics methods, we identify DEBINO4, a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) uniquely expressed in UCs, as a pivotal regulator of carbon metabolism essential for sustaining symbiosome function and nitrogen assimilation.

The biological phosphorus removal (BPR) process relies on frequent phosphorus exchange between functional microorganisms and their surrounding environment. However, limited mass transfer restricts the overall phosphorus removal efficiency. In this study, low-frequency mechanical vibration (LFMV) was introduced into the anaerobic/oxic reactors.

Background: Hepatic glycosphingolipid biosynthesis is implicated in insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). While UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) serves as the rate-limiting enzyme in glycosphingolipid synthesis, its cell-specific roles in MASLD pathogenesis remain undefined. Our study investigates the mechanistic contribution of LSEC-expressed UGCG to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance and MASLD progression.

Nitrogen (N) availability significantly influences plant metabolism and productivity. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of low N stress and subsequent N supplementation on key enzymes of nitrogen metabolism, nitrogen metabolism-related substances, and chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetic parameters in rice genotypes with different nitrogen utilization efficiencies. We used the Jijing 88 (low-N tolerant) and Xinong 999 (low-N sensitive) as test materials.
