Abstract Reprogrammed cellular metabolism is essential for maintaining cancer stem cells (CSCs) state. Here, we report that mitochondrial D-lactate catabolism a necessary initiating oncogenic event during tumorigenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We discover cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) phosphorylates nuclear Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP) at S127 and S397 sites enhances its transcription function, which promotes dehydrogenase (LDHD) expression. Moreover, LDHD enriched...

Tissues undergo a process of degeneration as the body ages. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to major potential in delaying aging tissues and organs. However, mechanism underlying anti-aging effects MSC is not clear which limits clinical applications. In this study, we used adipose-derived mesenchymal (ADSCs) perform treatments on senescent progeroid animal models. Following intervention with ADSCs, replicative senescence was delayed metabolic homeostasis transformed from...

Abstract Background Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) are with the potential to differentiate in multiple directions. miR-204-5p is expressed at low levels during osteogenic differentiation of hADSCs, and its specific regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Here, we aimed explore function possible molecular hADSCs. Methods The expression patterns miR-204-5p, Runx2 , alkaline phosphatase ( ALP ), osteocalcin OCN forkhead box C1 FOXC1 ) growth factor 7 GDF7 hADSCs osteogenesis were...

Biliary epithelial cells (BECs) are a potential source to repair the damaged liver when hepatocyte proliferation is compromised. Promotion of BEC-to-hepatocyte transdifferentiation could be beneficial clinical therapeutics patients with end-stage diseases. However, mechanisms underlying initiation BEC remain largely unknown. Here, we show that upon extreme injury, vegfaa and vegfr2/kdrl notably induced in hepatic stellate BECs, respectively. Pharmacological genetic inactivation vascular...

Progerin, a product of LMNA mutation, leads to multiple nuclear abnormalities in patients with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), devastating premature aging disorder. Progerin also accumulates during physiological aging. Here, we demonstrate that impaired insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R)/Akt signaling pathway results severe retardation and Zmpste24-/- mice, mouse model progeria. Mechanistically, progerin mislocalizes outside the nucleus, interacts IGF-1R,...

Accumulating evidence has shown that the traits of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) are controlled by microenvironment niches (MENs), but composition and remodeling mechanisms MENs TICs poorly defined. Here, we report voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ1 subunit-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specifically secret lysyl oxidase (LOX), which leads to cross-linking collagen, forming a stiff extracellular matrix (ECM) is sufficient drive formation with mechanical trait subsequently required...
