Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known to be involved in redox signalling pathways that may contribute to normal cell function as well as disease progression. The tumour suppressor PTEN and the inositol 5-phosphatase SHIP2 are critical enzymes in the control of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) level. It has been reported that oxidants, including those produced in cells such as macrophages, can activate downstream signalling via the inactivation of PTEN. The present study evaluates the potential impact of SHIP2 on phosphoinositides in cells exposed to sodium peroxide. We used a model of SHIP2 deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) stimulated by H(2)O(2): at 15 min, PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) was markedly increased in SHIP2 -/- cells as compared to +/+ cells. In contrast, no significant increase in PtdIns(3,4)P(2) could be detected at 15 or 120 min incubation of the cells with H(2)O(2) (0.6 mM). PKB activity was also upregulated in SHIP2 -/- cells as compared to +/+ cells in response to H(2)O(2). SHIP2 add back experiments in SHIP2 -/- cells confirm its critical role as a lipid phosphatase in the control of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) level in response to H(2)O(2). We conclude that SHIP2 lipid phosphatase activity plays an important role in the metabolism PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) which is demonstrated in oxygen stressed cells.

Background And Objectives: Maternal western-style diets that are high in glucose and fat have well-known cardiovascular effects on offspring, yet the combined influence of such diets during pregnancy is relatively less comprehended. This study investigates the impact of maternal high glucose and fat diet (HGF) on vascular constriction in offspring and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods And Results: Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were provided with either HGF or control diets.
Biological Age Affecting Attrition and Tooth Loss in a Follow-up Study.

In population-based longitudinal studies, bias caused by nonresponse among eligible participants and attrition during follow-up thwarts conclusions. As this issue is not commonly addressed in dental studies, it is the aim of this study to examine the consequences of attrition with respect to tooth loss and mortality in a 10-y follow-up study. From the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-0), a biological age (BA) score was constructed from 10 systemic biomarkers and related to one's actual chronological age (CA).

Src Homology 2-containing Inositol 5'-Phosphatase-1 (SHIP-1), encoded by INPP5D, has been identified as an Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk-associated gene through recent genetic and epigenetic studies. SHIP-1 confers AD risk by inhibiting the TREM2 cascade and reducing beneficial microglial cellular processes, including phagocytosis. While several small molecules have been reported to modulate SHIP-1 activity, their limited selectivity and efficacy in advanced models restricted their potential as therapeutic agents or probes for biological studies.

Article Synopsis
- The Sam domain of Ship2 interacts with EphA2, contributing to cancer development, making this connection a potential therapeutic target.
- Researchers used FoldX software to design peptides that could disrupt the EphA2-Sam/Ship2-Sam complex, focusing on the Mid Loop interface of Ship2-Sam.
- Promising new peptides were tested to assess their effectiveness in disrupting the interaction, their cytotoxic effects on cancer versus healthy cells, and their role in EphA2 degradation, paving the way for future strategies in targeting similar protein interactions.
Drugs targeting SHIP2 demonstrate potent antiproliferative effects irrespective of SHIP2 inhibition.

The SH2-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase SHIP2 plays a crucial role in negative regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Putative small molecule inhibitors of SHIP2, AS1949490 and K149 have been reported to elicit a range of beneficial effects in treating or preventing obesity as well as killing cancer cells. However, whether these effects are direct results of SHIP2 inhibition has not been carefully assessed, e.
