RNF146 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that specifically recognizes and polyubiquitinates poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR)-conjugated substrates for proteasomal degradation. RNF146 has been shown to be neuroprotective against PAR polymerase-1 (PARP1)-induced cell death during stroke. Here we report that RNF146 expression and RNF146 inducers can prevent cell death elicited by Parkinson's disease (PD)-associated and PARP1-activating stimuli. In SH-SY5Y cells, RNF146 expression conferred resistance to toxic stimuli that lead to PARP1 activation. High-throughput screen using a luciferase construct harboring the RNF146 promoter identified liquiritigenin as an RNF146 inducer. We found that RNF146 expression by liquiritigenin was mediated by estrogen receptor activation and contributed to cytoprotective effect of liquiritigenin. Finally, RNF146 expression by liquiritigenin in mouse brains provided dopaminergic neuroprotection in a 6-hydroxydopamine PD mouse model. Given the presence of PARP1 activity and RNF146 deficits in PD, it could be a potential therapeutic strategy to restore RNF146 expression by natural compounds or estrogen receptor activation.

Macrophage inflammation plays a central role during the development and progression of sepsis, while the regulation of macrophages by parthanatos has been recently identified as a novel strategy for anti-inflammatory therapies. This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential and mechanism of pimpinellin against LPS-induced sepsis. PARP1 and PAR activation were detected by western blot or immunohistochemistry.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication after anesthesia and surgery, especially in the elderly. RNF146 has neuroprotective effects in cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, and chronic neurological diseases. However, whether RNF146 expression is related to the occurrence and development of POD remains unclear.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. Long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase 4 (ACSL4) is a critical isozyme for ferroptosis that participates in the progression of IS. RING finger protein 146 (RNF146) is an E3 ligase predicted to interact with ACSL4 and regulated by activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3).

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on understanding how RNF146 and miR-3133 affect the Hippo and p53 signaling pathways, which are crucial in the development and treatment challenges of gastrointestinal cancer (GIC).
- - Through various laboratory techniques, researchers found that RNF146 promotes cancer growth, while miR-3133, which is often less expressed in cancer tissues, can enhance chemotherapy sensitivity by targeting multiple proteins that activate these pathways.
- - The findings suggest that increasing miR-3133 levels could be a promising approach to inhibit GIC progression by leveraging its regulatory effects on the Hippo and p53 pathways, making it a potential therapeutic target.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with impaired social behavior and communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. In addition to genetic factors, environmental factors such as prenatal drug exposure contribute to the development of ASD. However, how those prenatal factors induce behavioral deficits in the adult stage is not clear.
