ZC3H12A, which encodes the RNase monocyte chemotactic protein-induced protein 1 (MCPIP1), is up-regulated in psoriatic skin and reduced to normal levels after clinical treatments with anti-IL-17A/IL-17R neutralizing antibodies. In IL-17A-stimulated keratinocytes, MCPIP1 is rapidly increased at the transcript and protein levels. Also, IL-17A was found to be the main inducer of ZC3H12A expression in keratinocytes treated with supernatants derived from a Streptococcus pyogenes-activated psoriatic ex vivo model based on the co-culture of psoriatic cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA(+)) T cells and lesional epidermal cells. Moreover, MCPIP1 was aberrantly distributed in the suprabasal layers of psoriatic epidermis. In psoriatic samples, IL-17A-stimulated epidermal cell suspensions showed an increased MCPIP1 expression, especially in the mid-differentiated cellular compartment. The knockdown of ZC3H12A showed that this RNase participates in the regulation of the mRNAs present in suprabasal differentiated keratinocytes. Furthermore, JAK/STAT3 inhibition prevented the IL-17A-dependent induction of MCPIP1. In the mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasis, Zc3h12a expression was abrogated in Il17ra(-/-) mice. These results support the notion that IL-17A-mediated induction of MCPIP1 is involved in the regulation of local altered gene expression in suprabasal epidermal layers in psoriasis.

Background: Chemotherapy is often ineffective as a first-line treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and a more precise and effective therapeutic option is urgently needed.
Methods: High-throughput screening of a histone demethylase inhibitor library was performed to identify potential drugs for treating HNSCC. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and single-cell sequencing were used to evaluate the potential diagnostic value and expression distribution of candidate drug targets.

The polymerase associated factor 1 (PAF1) complex (PAF1c) promotes RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) transcription at the elongation step; however, how PAF1c transcription activity is selectively regulated during cell fate transitions remains poorly understood. Here, we reveal that the alternative reading frame (ARF) tumor suppressor operates at two levels to restrain PAF1c-dependent oncogenic transcriptional programs upon p53 loss in mouse cells. First, ARF assembles into homo-oligomers to bind the PAF1 subunit to promote PAF1c disassembly, consequently dampening PAF1c interaction with RNA Pol II and PAF1c-dependent transcription.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, lacks targeted therapies, posing a substantial challenge for treatment. Therefore, investigating its pathogenesis is a crucial research focus. FOXA1 and miR-634 are involved in tumorigenesis.

Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is referred to as an immunologically "cold" tumor that responds poorly to immunotherapy. A fundamental theory that explains the low immunogenicity of PAAD is the dramatically low tumor mutation burden (TMB) of PAAD tumors, which fails to induce sufficient immune response. Alternative splicing of pre-mRNA, which could alter the proteomic diversity of many cancers, has been reported to be involved in neoantigen production.
