The activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) is critically involved in inflammatory and oncogenic events. Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2), also known as COT and MAP3 kinase 8 (MAP3K8), is a serine-threonine kinase with an important physiological role in tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1, CD40, Toll-like receptor and G protein-coupled receptor-mediated ERK MAPK signaling. Whilst the full characterization of the biochemical events that lead to the activation of Tpl2 still represent a major challenge, genetic and molecular evidence has highlighted interesting interactions with the NF-κB network. Here, we provide an overview of the multifaceted functions of Tpl2 and the molecular mechanisms that govern its regulation.

Article Synopsis
- * The research identified TRIM4 as the E3 ligase responsible for TPL2's degradation and showed that certain TPL2 mutants are less stable due to reduced TRIM4 binding.
- * Mutant KRAS enhances TPL2's stability and activity by degrading TRIM21 and TRIM4, leading to activation of the Wnt signaling pathway, highlighting the potential for TPL2 inhibitors in treating KRAS-mutant cancers.
MAP3K8 is a potential therapeutic target in airway epithelial inflammation.

Background: We have previously discovered clusters of sequentially negative and positive modulators of acute inflammation during cytokine stimulation in epithelial cells and identified potential targets for therapy within these clusters. MAP3K8 is a druggable kinase that we found to be a hub of a principal interaction network. We describe here the results of MAP3K8 knockdown in the A549 lung cancer cell line, the BEAS-2B epithelial cell line and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells following IL-1β stimulation.

Soyasaponins, recognized for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, have not yet been fully explored for their role in combating enterotoxigenic (ETEC) infections. Recent findings identified them in small-molecule metabolites of , suggesting their broader biological relevance. This research screened 88 strains of , identifying the strain BH M20221856 as significantly inhibitory against ETEC growth .

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Leonurus japonicus Houtt (L. japonicus, Chinese motherwort), known as Yi Mu Cao which means "good for women", has long been widely used in China and other Asian countries to alleviate gynecological disorders, often characterized by estrogen dysregulation. It has been used for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder in women but the underlying mechanism remains unknown.

Background: Hyperhomocysteine (HHcy) plays an important role in promoting inflammation and cell death of tubular epithelial cells. However, the role of HHcy and Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) in sepsis associated acute kidney injury (S-AKI) remain unclear.
Purpose: A significant aspect of this study aimed to elucidate the effect of AS-Ⅳ treatment on HHcy-exacerbated S-AKI and reveal its potential mechanism.
