Protein kinase CK2 is known to have potent biological effects, and its high expression is closely associated with malignant phenotypes of tumors, especially hematological malignancies. Targeting protein kinase CK2 is a promising therapeutic direction in hematological malignancies, as it promotes the survival of tumor cells and regulates the cell cycle and enhances the resistance of tumor cells to tumor therapy. In recent years, a large number of studies have confirmed the therapeutic effect of targeting protein kinase CK2 in combination with other therapies in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Here, we reviewed the key signaling pathways regulated by protein kinase CK2, the role of protein kinase CK2 in various hematological malignant tumors, the research progress and the potential clinical application prospects.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common adaptation to cardiovascular stress and often a prelude to heart failure. We examined how S-palmitoylation of the small GTPase, Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), impacts cardiomyocyte stress signaling. Mutation of the cysteine-178 palmitoylation site impaired activation of Rac1 when overexpressed in cardiomyocytes.

The β-adrenergic receptor (βAR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O delivery. Abundance of the βAR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and β-arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O. Basal βAR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL-E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O responsivity.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly the interactions between endothelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), plays a pivotal role in promoting tumor growth, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and therapy resistance. The HUVEC-fibroblast co-culture model closely mimics stromal-endothelial interactions observed in CRC, enabling mechanistic insights not achievable in monocultures.

Age-related cataract (ARC) represents a major global cause of visual impairment, with ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation recognized as a primary contributor to oxidative damage in the lens. FOXO3, a key regulator of aging, apoptosis, and oxidative stress-induced cell death, was investigated for its role and regulatory mechanisms in UVB-induced oxidative stress using human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). A progressive decrease in FOXO3 protein expression was observed in the lens capsules across various stages of cataract progression, as well as in UVB-exposed animal models and UVB-treated HLECs.

Background The optimal surgical management of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer with calcifications remains controversial, particularly when pathologic complete response (pCR) is suspected. Purpose To identify factors associated with pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer and assess whether calcifications affect the performance of radiologic complete response (rCR) at MRI for predicting pCR. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who received neoadjuvant docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab and underwent surgery between January 2021 and October 2023.
