Lesional focal epilepsy (LFE) is a common and severe seizure disorder caused by epileptogenic lesions, including malformations of cortical development (MCD) and low-grade epilepsy-associated tumors (LEAT). Understanding the genetic etiology of these lesions can inform medical and surgical treatment. We conducted a somatic variant enrichment mega-analysis in brain tissue from 1386 individuals who underwent epilepsy surgery, including 599 previously unpublished individuals with ultra-deep ( > 1600x) targeted panel sequencing.

The dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1 A (DYRK1A) presents a promising therapeutic target for neurological diseases. However, current inhibitors lack selectivity, which can lead to unexpected side effects and increase the difficulty of studying DYRK1A. Therefore, identifying selective inhibitors targeting DYRK1A is essential for reducing side effects and facilitating neurological disease research.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a new small molecule, ABI-171, targeting specific kinases related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to combat its progression and high mortality rates.
  • In a mouse model, ABI-171 showed significant improvements in lung health, reducing fibrosis and inflammation, as well as weight loss in treated mice, whether given before or after disease onset.
  • The treatment led to lower mortality rates and better overall lung function compared to current treatments like pirfenidone and EGCG, indicating ABI-171's potential as a promising therapy for IPF.

Dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1 A (DYRK1A) is crucial in neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, and neuronal functions. Its dysregulation is linked to neurodegenerative disorders like Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease. Although the development of DYRK1A inhibitors has significantly advanced in recent years, the selectivity of these drugs remains a critical challenge, potentially impeding further progress.

Small-molecule-induced protein degradation has emerged as a promising pharmacological modality for inactivating disease-relevant protein kinases. DYRK1A and DYRK1B are closely related protein kinases that are involved in pathological processes such as neurodegeneration, cancer development, and adaptive immune homeostasis. Herein, we report the development of the first DYRK1 proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) that combine a new ATP-competitive DYRK1 inhibitor with ligands for the E3 ubiquitin ligase component cereblon (CRBN) to induce ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of DYRK1A and DYRK1B.
