Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric cancer (GC) (EBVaGC) is a distinct molecular subtype of GC with favorable prognosis. However, the exact effects and potential mechanisms EBV infection on immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) efficacy in remain to be clarified. Additionally, EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) situ hybridization (ISH), traditional method detect EBV, could cause false-positive/false-negative results not allow for characterizing other biomarkers recommended by standard treatment...

The microenvironment of lymph node metastasized tumors (LNMT) determines tumor progression and response to therapy, but a systematic study LNMT is lacking. Here, we generate single-cell maps primary (PTs) paired LNMTs in 8 breast cancer patients. We demonstrate that the activation, cytotoxicity, proliferation T cells are suppressed compared with PT. CD4+CXCL13+ more likely differentiate into an exhausted state. Interestingly, LAMP3+ dendritic display lower cell priming activating ability...

Given the benefits and effectiveness of consumer online brand engagement, influencer advertising marketing have become increasingly popular on social media. Consumer including consuming, contributing, creating brand-related content, is closely related to a brand's reputation image. This study determines how two aspects endorsement—namely, influencer–follower parasocial interaction (PSI) influencer–brand congruence (congruence)—affect three levels activities (COBRAs) Sina Weibo. We also...

Activation of TGF-β/Smad signaling plays a central role in the pathogenesis tubulointerstitial fibrosis, but mechanisms underlying initial interaction TGF-β receptor with Smads, leading to their activation, remain unclear. Here, we found that Kindlin-2, an integrin-binding protein, physically mediated type I (TβRI) Smad3 human kidney tubular epithelial cells. Kindlin-2 bound TβRI through its FERM domain and N terminus. Overexpression increased TGF-β-induced activation. Knockdown...

The Hippo signaling pathway plays a key role in development and cancer progression. However, molecules that intrinsically inhibit this are less well known. Here, we report the focal adhesion molecule Kindlin-2 inhibits by interacting with degrading MOB1 promoting interaction between E3 ligase praja2. thus phosphorylation of LATS1 YAP promotes translocation into nucleus, where it activates downstream target gene transcription. depletion Hippo/YAP alleviates renal fibrosis knockout mice...

Abstract Background Calcium is a ubiquitous intracellular messenger that regulates the expression of various genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and motility. The involvement calcium diverse metabolic pathways has been suggested. However, effect peroxisomes, which are fatty acid oxidation scavenges result reactive oxygen species (ROS), remains elusive. In addition, impaired peroxisomal ROS inhibit mammalian target rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) promote autophagy. Under...

Abstract The breakdown of Golgi proteins disrupts lipid trafficking, leading to accumulation in the small intestine. However, causal mechanism effects protein degradation on structure related trafficking intestine remains unknown. Here we find that occurs under hypoxic conditions high-fat-diet-fed mice. Hypoxia-induced promotes structural changes apparatus, termed ‘Golgi condensation’. In addition, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) activation enhances condensation through ubiquitination...

Integrin activation is an indispensable step for various integrin-mediated biological functions. Kindlin-2 known to coactivate integrins with Talin; however, molecules that restrict integrin are elusive. Here, we demonstrate the E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 controls amount of protein in cells and hinders activation. interacts promotes ubiquitination degradation. selectively mediates degradation but not Talin, leading inhibition αIIbβ3 Chinese hamster ovary β1 fibroblasts.

Abstract Background Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process crucial for homeostasis. During autophagy, a double-membrane autophagosome fuses with lysosome through SNARE machinery STX17 to form autolysosome of damaged organelle. Whereas defective autophagy enhances cholesterol accumulation in the and impaired autophagic flux that results Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease. However, exact interconnection between NPC1 remain obscure due existence controversial reports. Results This...

FHL1 has been recognized for a long time as tumor suppressor protein that associates with both the actin cytoskeleton and transcriptional machinery. We present in this study paradigm phosphorylated functions an oncogenic by promoting cell proliferation. The cytosolic tyrosine kinase Src interacts phosphorylates at Y149 Y272, which switches from to growth accelerator.
