    CYB5R3 in Type II Alveolar Epithelial Cells Protects against Lung Fibrosis by Suppressing TGF-β1 Signaling

    Scientists showed that expression of membrane-bound cytochrome B5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3), an enzyme critical for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis and soluble guanylate cyclase heme iron redox state, was diminished in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Type II alveolar epithelial cell.

    AKT Phosphorylates FAM13A and Promotes Its Degradation via CUL4A/DDB1/DCAF1 E3 Complex

    Researchers reported that FAM13A was phosphorylated at the Serine 312 residue by AKT kinase after cigarette smoke extract treatment and thereby recognized by the CULLIN4A/DCAF1 E3 ligase complex, rendering the ubiquitination-mediated degradation of FAM13A.

    Abstract

    Release of Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase into Alveolar Fluid Protects against Acute Lung Injury and Inflammation in Staphylococcus aureus Pneumonia

    Scientists hypothesized that arginine to glycine at position 213 substituted extracellular superoxide dismutase variant protected against lung injury and inflammation via blockade of neutrophil-recruitment in an infectious model of methicillin-resistant S. aureus pneumonia.
