Article Abstract

Nuclear factor, erythroid derived 2,-like 1 (NFE2L1), a member of the CNC-bZIP transcription factor family, is a key regulator of cellular homeostasis by influencing oxidative stress, proteasome activity, and other factors. NFE2L1 plays a dual role in tumor development and progression; the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes are partially understood and are closely associated with oxidative stress, proteasome activity, and metabolic pathways. Furthermore, NFE2L1 also plays a role in cancer therapy by primarily regulating antioxidant effects and proteasome activity. Therefore, this review synthesizes current evidence of the mechanisms and therapeutic role of NFE2L1 in cancers, and highlights critical unresolved questions to guide future research.

Tralopyril (TP), a representative bromopyrrolonitrile, functions as a broad-spectrum insecticide, raising growing concerns about its potential impact on aquatic organisms and human intestinal health. However, the key targets and toxicity mechanisms underlying TP-induced enteritis remain unclear. In this study, we utilized network toxicology combined with molecular docking to comprehensively explore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying TP-induced enteritis.

Ring finger protein 180 (RNF180) is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that promotes polyubiquitination and degradation. We analyzed the roles and molecular mechanisms of RNF180 during the tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) through bioinformatics analysis, in vivo and vitro experiments. RNF180 overexpression was observed in CRC, and positively associated with T, N and TNM staging or differentiation.

It has become evident from decades of clinical trials that multimodal therapeutic approaches with focus on cell intrinsic and microenvironmental cues are needed to improve understanding and treat the rare, inoperable, and ultimately fatal diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), now categorized as a diffuse midline glioma. In this study we report the development and characterization of an in vitro system utilizing 3D Tumor Tissue Analogs (TTA), designed to replicate the intricate DIPG microenvironment. The innate ability of fluorescently labeled human brain endothelial cells, microglia, and patient-derived DIPG cell lines to self-assemble has been exploited to generate multicellular 3D TTAs that mimic tissue-like microstructures, enabling an in- depth exploration of the spatio-temporal dynamics between neoplastic and stromal cells.

Seed germination is a critical step in the life cycle of plants. The far-red/red light photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB) plays a dominant role in promoting seed germination, mainly by modulating the metabolism of gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA), although the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. In this study, we identified BREVIPEDICELLUS (BP)/KNAT1, a KNOX transcription factor that acted downstream of phyB and activated light-initiated seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Aerobic glycolysis is critical for tumor development and metastasis. Regulating the activity of vital metabolic enzymes in the tumor glycolysis process, such as hexokinase 2 (HK-2), is expected for tumor treatment. However, conventional small molecule inhibitors only block the activity of proteases with consistently high doses via occupation-driven pattern, leading to off-target effects which limit their clinical application.
