Published: January 1992

The gene encoding DNA ligase I has been mapped on human chromosome 19 by analysis of rodent-human somatic cell hybrids informative for this chromosome and by two-color fluorescence in situ hybridization. The DNA ligase I gene (LIG1) is localized to 19q13.2-13.3 and is distal to ERCC1, the most telomeric of three DNA repair genes on this chromosome.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive cancer with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. The critical role of epigenetic alterations such as changes in DNA methylation, histones modifications, and chromatin remodeling, in pancreatic tumors progression is becoming increasingly recognized. Moreover, in PDAC these aberrant epigenetic mechanisms can also limit therapy efficacy.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and pulmonary carcinoid tumors are traditionally seen as unrelated, with SCLC linked to smoking and characterized by biallelic loss of RB1 and TP53 and rapid progression. Rekhtman and colleagues upend these assumptions by discovering an "atypical" SCLC that arises in nonsmokers with intact RB1 and TP53 loci, chromothripsis-induced oncogene amplifications on extrachromosomal DNA, and frequent synchronous carcinoid tumors.

The disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism contribute to severe diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and fatty liver. Here, we identified DNA damage-binding protein 2 (DDB2), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, as a pivotal regulator of lipid metabolism disorders in type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A mouse model of T2DM and primary mouse hepatocytes with steatosis were induced.

Cancer cells undergo metabolic rewiring to support rapid proliferation and survival in challenging environments. Glutamine is a preferred resource for cancer metabolism, as it provides both carbon and nitrogen for cellular biogenesis. Recent studies suggest the potential anticancer activity of amino acid analogs.

The histone lactylation of AIM2 influences the suppression of ferroptosis by ACSL4 through STAT5B and promotes the progression of lung cancer.

Lung cancer progression is characterized by intricate epigenetic changes that impact critical metabolic processes and cell death pathways. In this study, we investigate the role of histone lactylation at the AIM2 locus and its downstream effects on ferroptosis regulation and lung cancer progression. We utilized a combination of biochemical assays, including chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and western blotting to assess histone lactylation levels and gene expression.
