Epidermal Progenitors Suppress GRHL3-Mediated Differentiation through Intronic Polyadenylation Promoted by CPSF-HNRNPA3 Collaboration

Scientists showed that hundreds of intronic polyadenylation sites were differentially used during keratinocyte differentiation, which was accompanied by downregulation of the Cleavage and Polyadenylation Specificity Factor (CPSF) complex.

Histone Demethylase KDM4C Controls Tumorigenesis of Glioblastoma by Epigenetically Regulating p53 and C-Myc

Researchers showed that KDM4C knockdown significantly repressed proliferation and tumorigenesis of glioblastoma cells in vitro and in vivo that were rescued by overexpressing wild-type KDM4C but not a catalytic dead mutant.

Overcoming Hypoxia-Induced Resistance of Pancreatic and Lung Tumor Cells by Disrupting the PERK-NRF2-HIF-Axis

Scientists generated human cancer cell lines of pancreatic and lung origin carrying an inducible shRNA against NRF2 and PERK. They report that PERK-related phosphorylation of NRF2 was only critical in Keap1 wildtype cells to escape its degradation, but showed no direct effect on nuclear import or transcriptional activity of NRF2.

Spliceosome-Targeted Therapies Trigger an Antiviral Immune Response in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Scientists discovered that mis-spliced RNA itself is a molecular trigger for tumor killing through viral mimicry. In MYC-driven TNBC, spliceosome-targeted therapies caused widespread cytoplasmic accumulation of mis-spliced mRNAs, many of which form double-stranded structures.
