Small GTPase RHEB is a well-known mTORC1 activator, whereas neddylation modifies cullins and non-cullin substrates to regulate their activity, subcellular localization and stability. Whether and how RHEB is subjected to neddylation modification remains unknown. Here, we report that RHEB is a substrate of NEDD8-conjugating E2 enzyme UBE2F.

Background/aim: Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a mesenchymal tumor affecting multiple organs in dogs. Previous studies identified activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB, AKT) pathway in canine STS cell lines and clinical samples, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated PTEN loss, PIK3CA mutation, and EGFR over-expression as potential drivers of PI3K/AKT pathway activation in STS.

Background: Understanding the molecular mechanisms in immunosuppressive regulation is crucial for improving immunotherapeutic strategies. Macrophages, the major immune cells in tumor microenvironment (TME), play a dual role in tumor progression. CD180, primarily expressed in macrophages, remains unclear and requires further investigation.

Based on the signaling pathway of phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), pathway-related phosphatase and tensin homolog(PTEN), B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein(BAX), the mechanism of Rose roxburghii polysaccharides in inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis of prostate cancer DU145 cells was explored, as well as the antioxidant activity of R. roxburghii polysaccharides. Prostate cancer DU145 cells were treated with different concentrations of R.
