Phosphatase and Tensin Homologue (PTEN) is one of the most frequently lost tumor suppressors in cancer and the predominant negative regulator of the PI3K/AKT signaling axis. A growing body of evidence has highlighted the loss of PTEN with immuno-modulatory functions including the upregulation of the programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1), an altered tumor derived secretome that drives an immunosuppressive tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), and resistance to certain immunotherapies. Given their roles in immunosuppression and tumor growth, we examined whether the loss of PTEN would impact the biogenesis, cargo, and function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the context of the anti-tumor associated cytokine interferon-γ (IFN-γ).

Renal fibrosis is a crucial factor in the progression of chronic kidney diseases. Previous studies have suggested that apigenin (API) has potential in ameliorating renal fibrosis, but its therapeutic mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which API treats renal fibrosis using network pharmacology and experimental validation.

Background: A long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) called antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus (), has emerged as substantial regulators of cell survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, its speciffc and potential mechanism is uncertain in AML. In this research, we investigated the role of in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the underlying mechanism in AML cells.

Article Synopsis
  • The Ebola virus (EBOV) poses a serious global health threat, highlighted during the 2013-2016 outbreak in West Africa, and there is a pressing demand for more effective antiviral drugs and understanding of how EBOV interacts with host cells.
  • Using a specialized cell culture model, researchers conducted a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen, identifying two key host factors, PIK3C3 and SLC39A9, that play critical roles in facilitating EBOV entry into cells.
  • The study reveals that PIK3C3 is essential for the internalization of EBOV, while SLC39A9 acts both as an attachment factor and an adaptor protein, indicating potential targets for new antiviral therapies against
