Ras association domain family member 5 (RASSF5, also named NORE1) is an identified member of the RASSF gene family which could bind selectively to activate Ras and function as an antineoplastic effector in multiple cellular regulations. While highly expressed in majority of normal tissues, RASSF5 is epigenetically inactivated by promoter hypermethylation in numerous cancer cell lines and primary cancers, suggesting it as a potential tumor suppressor. Nevertheless, the physiologic significance of RASSF5 in tumorigenesis remains unclear. We performed a systematic literature review and assessment from PUBMED and MEDLINE databases in this article. RASSF5 is involved in a series of cellular responses including apoptosis, senescence, cell cycle regulation, differentiation and cell proliferation and the inactivation of RASSF5 has been implicated to participate in the oncogenesis, progression and poor prognosis of human cancers. In this review, we mainly elucidate the acknowledged structure, progress in the verified functions and research advances of RASSF5 and the probably relevant signaling pathways. Based on these evidences, potentiality of RASSF5 as a new therapeutic target for human cancers may play a significant role in future oncotherapy.

Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, and inflammation and oxidative stress play significant roles in its pathogenesis. This study investigates the effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on IS using RT-qPCR and western blot with SH-SY5Y cells, focusing on its effects on the small nucleolar RNA host gene 10 (SNHG10)/microRNA (miR)-665/Ras association domain family member 5 (RASSF5) axis and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. In addition, the effects of the SNHG10/miR-665/RASSF5 axis on SH-SY5Y cell activity, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers were analyzed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

NORE1A (RASSF5) is a tumor suppressor that is frequently down-regulated in liver tumors. It is an upstream component of the HIPPO pathway, a key regulator of liver development and metabolism. HIPPO disruption can lead to the development of MASLD/MASH.

RAS GTPases bind effectors to convert upstream cues to changes in cellular function. Effectors of classical H/K/NRAS are defined by RBD/RA domains which recognize the GTP-bound conformation of these GTPases, yet the specificity of RBD/RAs for over 160 RAS superfamily proteins remains poorly explored. We have systematically mapped interactions between BRAF and four RASSF effectors, the largest family of RA-containing proteins, with all RAS, RHO and ARF small GTPases.

Alteration of DNA methylation leads to diverse diseases, and the dynamic changes of DNA methylation (DNAm) on sets of CpG dinucleotides in mammalian genomes are termed "DNAm age" and "epigenetic clocks" that can predict chronological age. However, whether and how dysregulation of DNA methylation promotes cyst progression and epigenetic age acceleration in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) remains elusive. Here, we show that DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is upregulated in cystic kidney epithelial cells and tissues and that knockout of Dnmt1 and targeting DNMT1 with hydralazine, a safe demethylating agent, delays cyst growth in Pkd1 mutant kidneys and extends life span of Pkd1 conditional knockout mice.
