Posttranslational modification with small ubiquitin-like modifier (Sumo) regulates numerous cellular and developmental processes. Sumoylation is dynamic with deconjugation by Sumo-specific proteases (Senps) regulating steady-state levels. Different Senps are found in distinct subcellular domains, which may limit their deconjugation activity to colocalizing Sumo-modified proteins. In vitro, Senps can discriminate between the different Sumo paralogs: Sumo1 versus the highly related Sumo2 and Sumo3 (Sumo2/3), which can form poly-Sumo chains. However, a full understanding of Senp specificity in vivo is still lacking. Here, using biochemical and genetic approaches, we establish that Senp1 has an essential, nonredundant function to desumoylate Sumo1-modified proteins during mouse embryonic development. Senp1 specificity for Sumo1 conjugates represents an intrinsic function and not simply a product of colocalization. In contrast, Senp1 has only a limited role in Sumo2/3 desumoylation, although it may regulate Sumo1-mediated termination of poly-Sumo2/3 chains.

During tumor expansion, breast cancer (BC) cells often experience reactive oxygen species accumulation and mitochondrial damage because of glucose shortage. However, the mechanism by which BC cells deal with the glucose-shortage-induced oxidative stress remains unclear. Here, we showed that MANF (mesencephalic astrocyte derived neurotrophic factor)-mediated mitophagy facilitates BC cell survival under glucose-starvation conditions.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of specific small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteases 1 (SENP1)-mediated deSUMOylation on the malignant behavior of glioma stem cells (GSCs) under hypoxia conditions and evaluate the clinical value of prevention in glioma patients. Under hypoxic conditions, upregulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) expression in GSCs activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways, which provide rich nutritional support for glioblastoma (GBM). SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation stabilizes the expression of HIF1α and β-catenin, leading to the occurrence of GSCs-initiated tumorigenesis.

In a previous study, we discovered that the level of lnc-TSPAN12 was significantly elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and correlated with a low survival rate. However, the function and mechanism of lnc-TSPAN12 in modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in HCC remains poorly understood. This study demonstrates that lnc-TSPAN12 positively influences migration, invasion, and EMT of HCC cells in vitro and promotes hepatic metastasis in vivo.

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is the leading cause of heart failure and has an extremely complicated pathogenesis. TEA domain transcription factor 1 (TEAD1) is recognized as an important transcription factor that plays a key regulatory role in cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to explore the role of TEAD1 in cardiac hypertrophy and to clarify the regulatory role of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-mediated modifications.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential element in cellular metabolism that regulates fundamental biological processes. Growing evidence suggests that a decline in NAD is a common pathological factor in various diseases and aging. However, its role in airway epithelial barrier function in response to asthma remains underexplored.
