Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins and IL-1β: a tangled relationship.

Immunity

Inflammation Program, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.

Published: February 2012

Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are important regulators of both cell death and inflammation. In this issue of Immunity, Vince et al. (2012) report that inhibition of IAPs results in the processing and secretion of IL-1β through RIP3-mediated caspase-1- and caspase-8-dependent pathways.

Cell membrane targeting sonodynamic therapy could induce the accumulation of lipid peroxidation (LPO), drive ferroptosis, and further enhances immunogenic cell death (ICD) effects. However, ferroptosis is restrained by the ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) at the plasma membrane, which can catalyze the regeneration of ubiquinone (CoQ10) by using NAD(P)H to suppress the LPO accumulation. This work describes the construction of US-active nanoparticles (TiF NPs), which combinate cell-membrane targeting sonosensitizer TBT-CQi with FSP1 inhibitor (iFSP1), facilitating cell-membrane targeting sonodynamic-triggered ferroptosis.

FTO Alleviates Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Regulating Apoptosis and Autophagy.

Gastroenterol Res Pract

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The Central Hospital of Wuhan, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.

Despite N-methyladenosine (mA) being closely involved in various pathophysiological processes, its potential role in liver injury is largely unknown. We designed the current research to study the potential role of fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), an mA demethylase, on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Wild-type mice injected with an adeno-associated virus carrying fat mass and obesity-associated protein (AAV-FTO) or adeno-associated virus carrying green fluorescent protein (GFP) (AAV-GFP) were subjected to a hepatic IRI model in vivo.

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.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.
