Poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase-1 (PARP-1) catalyzes the polymerization of ADP-ribose units from NAD+ modules on target proteins, resulting in the attachment of linear or branched polymers. PARP-1 and its product poly(ADP-ribose)--PAR have recently received considerable attention because of their involvement in a wide range of cellular processes including chromatin modification, metabolism of nucleic acids, transcription regulation, and cell death. This review summarizes recent work on modular structure of six functional domains (A-F) of PARP-1 molecule in the context of three classic domains, i.e., DNA binding (DBD), automodification (AD) and catalytic (CD) released by proteolytic enzymes. A special attention is paid to subcellular localization and molecular mechanisms of PARP-1 posttranslational modifications, such as: poly(ADP-ribosylation), phosphorylation, acetylation and sumolyation. In addition, main functions of PARP-1 are discussed, focusing on the activity of this enzyme in DNA damage detection and repair, genome stability, and cell death.

N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is an important RNA modification involved in epigenetic regulation that is commonly observed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Their influence on the synthesis and processing of messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA allows m7G modifications to affect diverse cellular, physiological, and pathological processes. m7G modifications are pivotal in human diseases, particularly cancer progression.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly common type of malignancy and affects millions of men in the world since it is easy to recur or emerge therapy resistance. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel treatments for PCa patients. In the current study, we found that tegaserod maleate (TM), an FDA-approved agent, inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration as well as invasion, caused the arrest of the cell cycle, and promoted apoptosis of PCa cells in vitro.

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of mortality globally, often resulting in irreversible damage to cardiomyocytes. Ferroptosis, a recently identified form of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a significant contributor to post-MI cardiac injury. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response has been implicated in exacerbating ferroptosis.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death characterized by excessive lipid hydroperoxides accumulation, emerges as a promising target in cancer therapy. Among the solute carrier (SLC) superfamily, the cystine/glutamate transporter system antiporter components SLC3A2 and SLC7A11 are known to regulate ferroptosis by facilitating cystine import for ferroptosis inhibition. However, the contribution of additional SLC superfamily members to ferroptosis remains poorly understood.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators during gastric cancer (GC) development and may be viable treatment targets. In the present study, we showed that the expression of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01016 (LINC01016) is significantly higher in GC tissues with lymph node metastasis (LNM) than those without LNM. LINC01016 overexpression predicts a poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
