Unlabelled: In vitro and in vivo assessments suggest that proteasome inhibitors may be useful for modulating wound healing.
Methods: Proteasome Inhibitor I was used to assess the potential utility of proteasome inhibitors in improving wound healing in a standard rat model. Bilateral, 6 cm incisions were made 1 cm lateral to the spine of adult male Sprague Dawley rats. Animals were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: no treatment (n = 15), low concentration (1% w/v, n = 15), or high concentration (5% w/v, n = 15). Treatments were applied to the left side incision at 0 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours. Right-side incisionsreceived a vehicle, dimethyl sulfoxide, alone and independent of the assigned group, serving as both external and internal controls. Rats were sacrificed at days 7, 14, and 28 (n = 5 per group) and wounds subjected to mechanical testing and histology.
Results: No significant intergroup difference existed at 7 and 14 days. On day 28, a dosedependent increase in tensile strength with increasing Proteasome Inhibitor I was observed.
Conclusion: Results suggest dimethyl sulfoxide was not the ideal vehicle and additional improvement may be realized by optimizing the delivery method.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a promising target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, several cancer types and viral infections. Unique among HDACs, the HDAC6 isoform possesses a zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) crucial for managing misfolded protein aggregates and facilitating viral infection. HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.

Copper is an essential trace element in biological systems, playing a key role in various physiological functions, including redox reactions and energy metabolism. However, an imbalance in copper homeostasis can induce oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, ultimately leading to significant cytotoxicity and cell death. According to recent research, copper can bind to lipoylation sites on proteins involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, causing aggregation of lipoylated proteins, the loss of Fe-S cluster proteins, proteotoxic stress, and ultimately, cell death.

Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional compounds that have been extensively studied for their role in targeted protein degradation (TPD). The capacity to degrade validated or undruggable targets provides PROTACs with significant potency in cancer therapy. However, the clinical application of PROTACs is limited by their poor potency and unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties.

Proteasome-dependent protein degradation and the digestion of peptides by aminopeptidases are essential for myogenesis. Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) are uniquely involved in, both, the proteasomal degradation of proteins and in the regulation of translation (via involvement in post-translational modification). Suppressing MetAP1 and MetAP2 expression inhibits the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts.
