AI Article Synopsis

  • miR-483 is found within the IGF2 gene and has previously shown cancer-promoting properties, either by working with IGF2 or by targeting the BBC3/PUMA gene.
  • The study indicates that miR-483 expression can be triggered by the oncoprotein β-catenin, which interacts with a specific transcription factor.
  • Moreover, miR-483-3p can target β-catenin, creating a feedback loop that is disrupted in cells with mutations in β-catenin, highlighting the intricate regulation involving the IGF2/miR-483 pathway.

Article Abstract

hsa-mir-483 is located within intron 2 of the IGF2 gene. We have previously shown oncogenic features of miR-483-3p through cooperation with IGF2 or by independently targeting the proapoptotic gene BBC3/PUMA. Here we demonstrate that expression of miR-483 can be induced independently of IGF2 by the oncoprotein β-catenin through an interaction with the basic helix-loop-helix protein upstream stimulatory transcription factor 1. We also show that β-catenin itself is a target of miR-483-3p, triggering a negative regulatory loop that becomes ineffective in cells harboring an activating mutation of β-catenin. These results provide insights into the complex regulation of the IGF2/miR-483 locus, revealing players in the β-catenin pathway.

Background: The Golgi apparatus is widely considered a secretory center and a hub for different signaling pathways. Abnormalities in Golgi dynamics can perturb the tumor microenvironment and influence cell migration. Therefore, unraveling the regulatory network of the Golgi and searching for pharmacological targets would facilitate the development of novel anticancer therapies.

Plant responses to the water environment are mediated by ethylene (submergence response) and abscisic acid (ABA, drought response). Ethylene is perceived by a family of histidine kinase receptors (ETR-HKs), which regulate the activity of the downstream B3 Raf-like (RAF) kinase CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) in an ethylene-dependent manner. We previously demonstrated in the moss Physcomitrium patens that SNF1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2), an essential kinase in osmostress responses in land plants, is activated by the B3-RAF kinase ARK, which is also regulated by ETR-HKs in an ABA- and osmostress-dependent manner.

Transformative change is needed across the food system to improve health and environmental outcomes. As food, nutrition, environmental and health data are generated beyond human scale, there is an opportunity for technological tools to support multifactorial, integrated, scalable approaches to address the complexities of dietary behaviour change. Responsible technology could act as a mechanistic conduit between research, policy, industry and society, enabling timely, informed decision making and action by all stakeholders across the food system.

Background: The thromboxane A2 receptor (TPαR) plays an important role in the amplification of platelet responses during thrombosis. Receptor activity is regulated by internalization and receptor desensitization. The mechanism by which constitutive surface expression of the TPαR is regulated is unknown.

A feedback loop between Paxillin and Yorkie sustains Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regeneration.

Balanced self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells are crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis, but the underlying mechanisms of this process remain poorly understood. Here, from an RNA interference (RNAi) screen in adult Drosophila intestinal stem cells (ISCs), we identify a factor, Pax, which is orthologous to mammalian PXN, coordinates the proliferation and differentiation of ISCs during both normal homeostasis and injury-induced midgut regeneration in Drosophila. Loss of Pax promotes ISC proliferation while suppressing its differentiation into absorptive enterocytes (ECs).
