CARM1 Regulates AMPK Signaling in Skeletal Muscle

The authors observed altered interactions between coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its network, including forkhead box protein O1, during muscle disuse.

RHOF Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis by Altering the Metabolic Status of Cancer Cells via RAB3D

Researchers showed that compared to expression in adjacent non‐cancerous tissues, RHOF was frequently upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma tumor samples and elevated under conditions of glucose deprivation.

Regulatory Roles of PINK1-Parkin and AMPK in Ubiquitin-Dependent Skeletal Muscle Mitophagy

Scientists consolidate current literature, including their recent work, while evaluating how ubiquitin-dependent mitophagy is regulated both in muscle and non-muscle cells through the steps of mitochondrial fission, ubiquitylation and autophagosomal engulfment.

Chemical Reversal of Abnormalities in Cells Carrying Mitochondrial DNA Mutations

Researchers discovered a small-molecule compound, which they named tryptolinamide, that activated mitochondrial respiration in cybrids generated from patient-derived mitochondria and fibroblasts from patient-derived iPSCs.

Acetylsalicylic Acid and Salicylic Acid Present Anticancer Properties Against Melanoma by Promoting Nitric Oxide-Dependent Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Apoptosis

Scientists showed that acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid present anticancer effects against a murine model of implanted melanoma. These effects were also validated in 3D- and 2D-cultured melanoma B16F10 cells, where the drugs promoted pro-apoptotic effects.

The Novel Interplay between CD44 Standard Isoform and the Caspase-1/IL1B Pathway to Induce Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Scientists observed that cluster differentiation 44 standard isoform (CD44s) was responsible for caspase-1/IL1B activation both in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and five HCC cell lines. In normoxia conditions, CD44s knockdown repressed the activation of caspase-1/IL1B via stimulating AMPK-mediated autophagy.

Branched-Chain Amino Acid Aminotransferase 2 Regulates Ferroptotic Cell Death in Cancer Cells

By using a high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screen in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells to search for metabolic proteins inhibiting ferroptosis, researchers identified a branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase 2 as a novel suppressor of ferroptosis.
