Aim: Histone-modifiable lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1/KDM1A) is an oncoprotein upregulated in cancers, including hepatoma. We previously reported that the hepatoma-preventive geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) inhibits KDM1A at the same IC as that of the clinically used tranylcypromine. Here, we report that these inhibitors induce the cytoplasmic translocation of nuclear KDM1A in a human hepatoma-derived cell line.

Methods & Results: Immunofluorescence studies revealed that KDM1A was cytoplasmically localized in HuH-7 cells 3 h after GGA or tranylcypromine addition. However, GGA did not affect the subcellular localization of another histone lysine-specific demethylase, KDM5A. This suggests that GGA-induced translocation is KDM1A specific.

Conclusion: These data demonstrate, for the first time, that KDM1A inhibitors specifically induce the cytoplasmic translocation of nuclear KDM1A.

Control of Synaptotagmin-1 Trafficking by SV2A-Mechanism and Consequences for Presynaptic Function and Dysfunction.

Synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) is an abundant synaptic vesicle cargo with an as yet unconfirmed role in presynaptic function. It is also heavily implicated in epilepsy, firstly being the target of the leading anti-seizure medication levetiracetam and secondly with loss of function mutations culminating in human disease. A range of potential presynaptic functions have been proposed for SV2A; however its interaction with the calcium sensor for synchronous neurotransmitter release, synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), has received particular attention over the past decade.

WD repeat domain 77 protein (WDR77), a WD-40 domain-containing protein, is a crucial regulator of cellular pathways in cancer progression. While much of the past research on WDR77 has focused on its interaction with PRMT5 in histone methylation, WDR77's regulatory functions extend beyond this pathway, influencing diverse mechanisms such as mRNA translation, chromatin assembly, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. WDR77 is a key regulator of cell cycle progression, regulating the transition from the G1 phase.

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin commonly found in moldy cereals and has a range of toxic effects that have seriously affected animal husbandry. Rutin, a natural flavonoid with antioxidant activities, has been studied for its potential involvement in mitigating ZEA-induced apoptosis in porcine endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and its potential molecular mechanism, particularly concerning the expression of Nrf2. This study investigates the molecular pathways by which rutin alleviates ZEA-induced ESC apoptosis, focusing on the role of Nrf2.

Objectives: The close relationship of proto-oncogenes to myocardial hypertrophy has long been recognized, and cardiac hypertrophy leads to heart failure (HF). However, whether proviral insertion of Moloney virus 3 kinase (Pim3), a proto-oncogene, contributes to cardiac hypertrophy in diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unknown. This study aims to investigate whether Pim3 is involved in DM-induced cardiac hypertrophy and HF and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors, and radiotherapy plays a pivotal role in its therapeutic regimen. However, radiotherapy resistance is the main cause of therapeutic failure in patients. Our previous study revealed that Adiponectin Receptor 1 (AdipoR1) is involved in regulating radiation resistance in liver cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy.
