Aim: Intestinal epithelial barrier is essential for maintaining normal intestinal homeostasis; its breakdown leads to chronic inflammatory pathologies, such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Far upstream element binding protein 1 (FBP1) has been reported to play an important role in cell apoptosis and proliferation. We aimed to investigate the expression and the role of FBP1 in dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced experimental colitis.
Methods: Mice experimental colitis model was established by administration of DSS, and the expression and localization of FBP1 was examined using Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Colon epithelial cell line HT-29 was used to determine the role of FBP1. In vitro study, the expression of FBP1 was determined in HT-29 cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). HT-29 cells were transfected with FBP1 siRNA and then measured for viability.
Results: Significant decreasing of FBP1 expression was found in mice colitis. In addition, FBP1 was cleaved and translocated from nucleus to cytoplasm during apoptosis. Downregulated expression of FBP1 induced cell cycle arrest.
Conclusions: We demonstrate that apoptosis-mediated cleavage of FBP1 and its decreased expression in epithelial cells induces cell cycle arrest, which may play an important role in colonic epithelial disruption.

Impaired renal gluconeogenesis is recently identified as a hallmark of chronic kidney disease. However, the therapeutic approach to promote renal gluconeogenesis in CKD is still lacking. We aimed to study whether Salvianolic acid C (SAC), a nature compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Danshen, inhibits renal fibrosis through promotion of gluconeogenesis.

Fructose-1,6-diphosphate (FBP), a key glycolytic metabolite, is recognized for its cytoprotective effects during stress. However, the role of FBP in viral infections is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that virus-infected cells exhibit elevated FBP levels.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is generally a slow-growing disease with a favorable 10-year survival rate. However, about 10% of PTC cases show significant aggressiveness, with tendencies for local invasion or distant metastasis, the mechanisms of which remain unclear. This study aims to identify predictive indicators and explore new potential targets for clinical treatment, highlighting the need for novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBP) is a regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis that also influences in a non-catalytic manner - via protein-protein interactions - cell cycle-dependent events, mitochondria biogenesis and polarization, synaptic plasticity and even cancer progression. FBP reduces glycolytic capacity of cells via blocking HIF-1α transcriptional activity and modulating NF-κB action, and influences oxidative metabolism by binding to c-MYC. Because FBP limits the energy-producing potential of cells and because a reduction of FBP amounts is observed in cancer cells, FBP is considered to be an anti-oncogenic protein.

Fructose 1,6-diphosphatase 1 (FBP1) is an enzyme involved in gluconeogenesis and glycolysis inhibition. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells, and antigens presented to T cells activate the immune response. FBP1 inhibits the development of several tumors, and high FBP1 expression inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells.
