We investigated the enzyme activity of peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) in brain, testis, lung, liver, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) of Pin1+/+ and Pin1-/- mice. The aim of this study is to determine if other PPIases can substitute for the loss of Pin1 activity in Pin1-/- mice and what influence Pin1 depletion has on the activities of other PPIases members. The results show that high PPIase activities of Pin1 are found in organs that have the tendency to develop Pin1 knockout phenotypes and, therefore, provide for the first time an enzymological basis for these observations. Furthermore we determined the specific activity (k(cat)/K(M)) of endogenous Pin1 and found that it is strongly reduced as compared with the recombinant protein in all investigated organs. These results suggest that posttranslational modifications may influence the PPIase activity in vivo. The activities originating from cyclophilin and FKBP are not influenced by the Pin1 knockout, but a basal enzymatic activity towards phosphorylated substrates could be found in Pin1-/- lysates. Real time PCR experiments of all PPIases in different mouse organs and MEF of Pin1+/+ and Pin1-/- mice support the finding and reveal the specific expression profiles of PPIases in mice.

Ketone bodies generated in hepatocytes in the adult liver are used for nonhepatic tissues as an energy source. However, ketolysis is reactivated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells with largely unelucidated mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1 (OXCT1), a rate-limiting enzyme in ketolysis, interacts with SUCLA2 upon IGF1 stimulation in HCC cells.

Background: Cervical cancer is a prevalent form of cancer in women, and the inhibition of ferroptosis has been shown to promote the progression of cervical cancer tumours. This study aimed to investigate the role of PIN1 in regulating ferroptosis in cervical cancer, focusing on its ability to modulate the cGAS-STING pathway and the potential involvement of USP34 as an upstream regulator of PIN1.
Methods: PIN1-overexpressing and PIN1-knockdown cell lines were constructed.

Neutrophils are essential for host defense against infections, but they also play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes the lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp) and a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism of PTPN22 rs2476601 (R620W) has been associated with several human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the role of Lyp in TNFα-induced priming of neutrophil ROS production and in the development of arthritis using new selective Lyp inhibitors.

Article Synopsis
- * In studies with miR-324-null mice, researchers found that these mice had increased bone density and thickness, reduced lipid content in bone marrow, and higher bone formation rates, indicating a strong connection between miR-324 and bone maintenance.
- * It was revealed that miR-324-5p targets key regulators in bone cells, such as Pin1 and Runx2, which influence the balance between bone formation and resorption, highlighting the potential for miR-324-related therapies in treating bone diseases.
