The oncoprotein BCL-3 is a nuclear transcription factor that activates NF-kappaB target genes through formation of heterocomplexes with p50 or p52. BCL-3 is phosphorylated in vivo, but specific BCL-3 kinases have not been identified so far. In this report, we show that BCL-3 is a substrate for the protein kinase GSK3 and that GSK3-mediated BCL-3 phosphorylation, which is inhibited by Akt activation, targets its degradation through the proteasome pathway. This phosphorylation modulates its association with HDAC1, -3, and -6 and attenuates its oncogenicity by selectively controlling the expression of a subset of newly identified target genes such as SLPI and Cxcl1. Our results therefore suggest that constitutive BCL-3 phosphorylation by GSK3 regulates BCL-3 turnover and transcriptional activity.

Loss of Bcl-3 delays bone fracture healing through activating NF-κB signaling in mesenchymal stem cells.

J Orthop Translat

July 2022

Musculoskeletal Organoid Research Center, Institute of Translational Medicine, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China.

Background: Bone fracture healing is a postnatal regenerative process in which fibrocartilaginous callus formation and bony callus formation are important. Bony callus formation requires osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs.

Materials And Methods: The formation of callus was assessed by μCT, Safranin-O, H&E and Masson trichrome staining.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Japanese encephalitis virus: Neuroinflammation and neuronal cell damage.

Virulence

December 2021

Department of Preventive Veterinary Medicine, College of Animal Science and Technology, Jiangxi Agricultural University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, P. R. China.

Thousands of human deaths occur annually due to Japanese encephalitis (JE), caused by Japanese encephalitis virus. During the virus infection of the central nervous system, reactive gliosis, uncontrolled inflammatory response, and neuronal cell death are considered as the characteristic features of JE. To date, no specific treatment has been approved to overcome JE, indicating a need for the development of novel therapies.

The alkylating agent, temozolomide (TMZ), is the most commonly used chemotherapeutic for the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM). The anti-glioma effect of TMZ involves a complex response that includes G2-M cell cycle arrest and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) activation. While CDK1 phosphorylation is a well-described consequence of TMZ treatment, we find that TMZ also robustly induces CDK1 expression.

Background: Regulated protein synthesis is essential for megakaryocyte (MK) and platelet functions, including platelet production and activation. PDK1 (phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1) regulates platelet functional responses and has been associated with circulating platelet counts. Whether PDK1 also directly regulates protein synthetic responses in MKs and platelets, and platelet production by MKs, remains unknown.
