The Deubiquitinating enzyme, Cylindromatosis (CYLD), has been established as a crucial regulator of B-cells. The present study was addressed to identify the nature of CYLD-dependent RNomics in patients of pediatric age group with B-ALL. The study revealed the presence of a novel mutant CYLD of 55 kDa in these patients. The mutant CYLD displayed its ability to restrict the cells in G2 phase of cell cycle, down-regulate PLK-1 and block the nuclear translocation of BCL3. Based upon these results, we propose that this mutant CYLD has the capacity to act as a differential marker characteristic of B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypoxic cancer cells often resist treatments and can lead to cancer recurrence, with PTP1B deficiency promoting breast cancer cell death under low oxygen conditions via RNF213 activation.
  • PTP1B and ABL1/2 interact to regulate RNF213 phosphorylation, promoting its role in degrading CYLD/SPATA2, which in turn activates NF-κB and the NLRP3 inflammasome, culminating in pyroptotic cell death.
  • The findings reveal a novel PTP1B-RNF213-CYLD-SPATA2 pathway that plays a critical role in inflammatory cell death in hypoxic tumors, with broader implications for diseases like Moyamoya, inflammation, and autoimmune disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS) is an autosomal dominant condition linked to a gene mutation, leading to the formation of multiple benign skin tumors known as trichoepitheliomas.
  • A case study reveals a young female with a previously unknown mutation (c.2501dupC) causing this syndrome, which was confirmed through genetic testing involving her family.
  • Despite surgical removal of some tumors using a CO laser, new lesions continued to emerge, suggesting that current treatments are inadequate and highlighting the need for future targeted therapies not currently available.

TNF is a potent cytokine known for its involvement in physiology and pathology. In Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), persistent TNF signals cause aberrant activation of synovial fibroblasts (SFs), the resident cells crucially involved in the inflammatory and destructive responses of the affected synovial membrane. However, the molecular switches that control the pathogenic activation of SFs remain poorly defined.

Tumor suppressor cylindromatosis protein (CYLD) regulates NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways by cleaving K63-linked poly-ubiquitin chain from its substrate molecules and thus preventing the progression of tumorigenesis and metastasis of the cancer cells. Mutations in CYLD can cause aberrant structure and abnormal functionality leading to tumor formation. In this study, we utilized several computational tools such as PANTHER, PROVEAN, PredictSNP, PolyPhen-2, PhD-SNP, PON-P2, and SIFT to find out deleterious nsSNPs.

Genetic and clinical landscape of Chinese frontotemporal dementia: dominance of TBK1 and OPTN mutations.

Alzheimers Res Ther

Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, 45 Changchun Street, Beijing, 100053, China.

Background: Our study aims to evaluate the genetic and phenotypic spectrum of Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) gene variant carriers in Chinese populations, investigate mutation frequencies, and assess the functional properties of TBK1 and OPTN variants.

Methods: Clinically diagnosed FTD patients underwent genetic analysis through exome sequencing, repeat-primed polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing. TBK1 and OPTN variants were biologically characterized in vitro using immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and immunoblotting analysis.
