This study aims to investigate the function and molecular mechanisms of Tribbles homolog 3 (TRB3) on the MPP/MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, MPP-induced PD cellular model and MPTP-caused PD mice model were established. Following the transfection with TRB3-shRNA, cell viability, cell apoptosis, ROS level, and the ratio of p-p38/ p38, p-JNK/JNK, p-AKT/AKT were examined. At the same time, behavior assessment of wild type female C57BL/6 mice and whole-body TRB3 knockout mice PD models caused by MPTP were performed by Rotarod test and Open-field test. The results showed that TRB3 was markedly upregulated in MPP-induced cellular model through ATF4/CHOP pathway. Knockdown of TRB3 significantly decreased the MPP-induced reduction of cell viability, augment of cell apoptosis and accumulation of ROS, inhibited the phosphorylation of p38 and JNK, and promoted the phosphorylation of AKT, in vitro. Further, knockout of TRB3 improved the behavior impairment of PD mice induced by MPTP, in vivo. In conclusion, knockdown of TRB3 has a neuroprotective effect on MPTP/MPP-induced PD cellular and mice models, through regulating MAPK and AKT signaling pathways.

The liver regenerates after injury; however, prolonged injury can lead to chronic inflammation, fatty liver disease, fibrosis, and cancer. The mechanism involving the complex pathogenesis of the progression of liver injury to chronic liver disease remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of gene expression associated with the progression of liver disease.

Cataracts are characterized as a disease affecting lens opacity. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can cause lens epithelial cell (LEC) dysfunction, affecting normal lens transparency and function, but the role of Tribbles 3 (TRB3), an inducible gene of ER stress, in cataracts is poorly understood. This study explored how TRB3 promotes cataract progression through ER stress.

Objective: Hepatic insulin resistance, which leads to increased hepatic gluconeogenesis, is a major contributor to fasting hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanism of impaired insulin-dependent suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis remains elusive. Delta/Notch-like epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related receptor (DNER), firstly described as a neuron-specific Notch ligand, has been recently identified as a susceptibility gene for T2DM through genome-wide association studies.

Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) is the main pathogen causing hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children and occasionally associated with neurological diseases such as aseptic meningitis, brainstem encephalitis (BE) and acute flaccid paralysis. We report here that cellular pseudokinase tribbles 3 (TRIB3) facilitates the infection of EV-A71 via dual mechanisms. In one hand, TRIB3 maintains the metabolic stability of scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2), the receptor of EV-A71, to enhance the infectious entry and spreading of the virus.

Introduction: Our study investigated the possible mechanisms of the role of the transcription factor Sox9 in the development and progression of kidney injury through regulation of the miR-96-5p/Trib3/IL-6 axis.
Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes in kidney injury and normal tissues. An in vivo animal model of kidney injury and an in vitro cellular model of kidney injury were constructed using LPS induction in 8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice and human normal renal tubular epithelial cells HK-2 for studying the possible roles of Sox9, miR-96-5p, Trib3, and IL-6 in kidney injury.
