Integrin α3β1 in hair bulge stem cells modulates CCN2 expression and promotes skin tumorigenesisAlthough hair bulge stem cells are not the cancer cells-of-origin, they contribute to two-stage DMBA/TPA skin carcinogenesis in an α3β1-dependent manner.
Regulation of axonal morphogenesis by the mitochondrial protein Efhd1Ablation of the mitochondrial protein Efhd1 in mice interferes with normal development of sensory axons and results in mitochondrial dysfunction associated with activation of cellular stress pathways.
MAPK pathway mutations in head and neck cancer affect immune microenvironments and ErbB3 signalingMAPK mutations favor HNSCC survival, revealing the broad clinical utility of MAPK pathway mutations in prognosis and potentially in precision immunotherapy.
Pancreatic cancer triggers diabetes through TGF-β–mediated selective depletion of islet β-cellsPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma formation culminates in hyperactivation of transforming growth factor β signaling, which in turn induces selective depletion of β-cell mass and thereby leading to new-onset diabetes.
Importance of γ-secretase in the regulation of liver X receptor and cellular lipid metabolismInhibition of the Alzheimer associated γ-secretase impairs the regulation of cellular lipid droplet homeostasis.
IL-36 signaling in keratinocytes controls early IL-23 production in psoriasis-like dermatitisIL-36 signaling in keratinocytes is crucial for Aldara-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis by controlling IL-23/IL-17A/IL-22 production and neutrophil recruitment at the third day of treatment.
Caspase-1 cleaves Bid to release mitochondrial SMAC and drive secondary necrosis in the absence of GSDMDCaspase-1 activation in GSDMD-deficient cells induces a rapid form of caspase-3–dependent secondary necrosis that is licenced by caspase-1–induced Bid cleavage and the release of mitochondrial SMAC.
Paneth cell α-defensin misfolding correlates with dysbiosis and ileitis in Crohn’s disease model miceThis study provides novel insight into Crohn’s disease where α-defensin misfolding resulting from excessive ER stress in Paneth cells induces dysbiosis and disease progression.
Immunoglobulin expression in the endoplasmic reticulum shapes the metabolic fitness of B lymphocytesImmunoglobulins shape mitochondrial function by driving ER expansion, this form of metabolic control is independent of the role the immunoglobulins play as part of the antigen receptor on the cell surface.
