Proteasome pathway regulates TGF-beta signaling; degradation of activated Smad2/3 and receptors turns TGF-beta signal off, while degradation of negative modulators such as Ski and SnoN maintains the signal. We have found that anisomycin is able to downregulate Ski and SnoN via proteasome as TGF-beta does, but through a mechanism independent of Smad activation. The mechanism used by anisomycin to downregulate Ski and SnoN is also independent of MAPK activation and protein synthesis inhibition. TGF-beta signal was the only pathway described causing Ski and SnoN degradation, thus this new effect of anisomycin on endogenous Ski and SnoN proteins suggests alternative processes to downregulate these negative modulators of TGF-beta signaling.

Effective therapy for liver fibrosis is lacking. Here, we examined whether LP340, the lead candidate of a new-generation of hydrazide-based HDAC1,2,3 inhibitors (HDACi), decreases liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis was induced by CCl treatment and bile duct ligation (BDL) in mice.

The ski-related novel gene (SnoN), encoded by the SKIL gene, has been shown to negatively regulated transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) signaling pathway. However, the roles of SnoN in hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation and hepatic fibrosis (HF) are still unclear. To evaluate the role of SnoN in HF, we combined bulk RNA sequencing analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis to analyse patients with HF.

By establishing a rat diabetes model in rats with intervening treatment by Jiangtang Tongmai Prescription (JTTMP), this study explored the restorative pairing effect of JTTMP on diabetic lung injury. The model of type II diabetes model was used to establish the rat diabetes model, using a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ) induction. Different doses of JTTMP and metformin were administered as a therapeutic to intervene, and blood was collected to assess the blood glucose level of each group of rats.

RNF111/Arkadia is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that activates the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway by degrading transcriptional repressors SKIL/SnoN and SKI. Truncations of the RING C-terminal domain of RNF111 that abolish its E3 function and subsequently activate TGF-β signaling are observed in some cancers. In the present study, we sought to perform a comprehensive analysis of RNF111 endogenous substrates upon TGF-β signaling activation using an integrative proteomic approach.

Ski-related novel protein N (SnoN) negatively regulates the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway and is present at a low level during diabetic nephropathy (DN), but its underlying regulatory mechanism is currently unknown. The present study aimed to assess the effects of insulin-controlled blood glucose on renal SnoN expression and fibrosis in rats with diabetes mellitus (DM). Streptozotocin-induced DM rats were treated with insulin glargine (INS group) following successful model establishment.
