Limited but significant sequence similarity has been observed between an uncharacterized human protein, SIN1, and the S. pombe SIN1, Dictyostelium RIP3 and S. cerevisiae AVO1 proteins. The human Sin1 gene has been automatically predicted (MAPKAP1; GenBank accession number ); however, this sequence appears to be incomplete. In this study, we have cloned and characterized the full-length human Sin1 mRNA and identified a highly conserved domain that defines the family of SIN1 orthologues, members of which are widely distributed in the fungal and metazoan kingdoms. We demonstrate that Sin1 transcripts can use alternative polyadenylation signals and describe a number of Sin1 splice variants that potentially encode functionally different isoforms.

Previously, we have shown that endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) dimer levels directly correlate with the interaction of eNOS with hsp90 (heat shock protein 90). Further, the disruption of eNOS dimerization correlates with its redistribution to the mitochondria. However, the causal link between these events has yet to be investigated and was the focus of this study.

Ovarian cancer, the second most leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality worldwide, is challenged by chemotherapy resistance, presenting a significant hurdle. Pyroptosis, an inflammation-linked programmed cell death mediated by gasdermins, has been shown to impact chemoresistance when dysregulated. However, the mechanisms connecting pyroptosis to chemotherapy resistance in ovarian cancer are unclear.

Sirtuins are a class of enzymes that deacylate protein lysine residues using NAD as a cosubstrate. Sirtuin deacylase activity has been historically regarded as protective; loss of sirtuin deacylase activity potentially increases susceptibility to aging-related disease development. However, which factors may inhibit sirtuins during aging or disease is largely unknown.

Peripheral neurotoxicity is a dose-limiting adverse reaction of primary frontline chemotherapeutic agents, including vincristine. Neuropathy can be so disabling that patients drop out of potentially curative therapy, negatively impacting cancer prognosis. The hallmark of vincristine neurotoxicity is axonopathy, yet its underpinning mechanisms remain uncertain.

Dendrite pathology and synaptic loss result in neural circuit dysfunction, a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases. There is a lack of strategies that target dendritic and synaptic regeneration to promote neurorecovery. We show that daily human recombinant insulin eye drops stimulate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dendrite and synapse regeneration during ocular hypertension, a risk factor to develop glaucoma.
