Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death. GDF15 affects various properties of cancer cells, but the role of GDF15 in ferroptosis has not been reported. In the present study, we found that GDF15 knockdown led to decreased expression of SLC7A11, which is a key component of system X and a regulator of ferroptosis, indicating that GDF15 might play important roles in ferroptosis. CCK8 assay showed that GDF15 knockdown promoted erastin-induced ferroptosis in MGC803 cells. qRT-PCR and western blotting results demonstrated that GDF15 inhibition attenuated the increased SLC7A11 expression induced by erastin. Further study revealed that GDF15 knockdown promoted the decreased level of extracellular glutamate and intracellular GSH as well as the increased level of lipid ROS in the presence of erastin in MGC803 cells. Overall, the study shows that GDF15 knockdown promotes erastin-induced ferroptosis in MGC803 cells by attenuating the expression of SLC7A11 and the function of system X.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent liver disorder that has emerged as a significant public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which Y-box binding protein-1 (YB1) knockdown influences lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in palmitic acid (PA)-induced NAFLD LO2 cells. The expression of YB1 was analyzed using the GSE89632 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the predominant stromal cell-type in the solid tumor microenvironment, originating from various cell types and playing a crucial role in promoting tumor progression and metastasis The generation of CAFs is influenced by complex factors secreted by tumor cells, with particular emphasis on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). However, it remains largely unknown whether growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), as a member of the TGF-β superfamily, exerts similar effects to TGF-β in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we investigated the impact of GDF15 derived from tumor cells on CAF transformation and elucidated the underlying mechanisms.

Glioma, a type of brain tumor, is influenced by mechanical forces in its microenvironment that affect cancer progression. However, our understanding of the contribution of compression and its associated mechanisms remains limited. The objective of the present study was to create an environment in which human brain glioma H4 cells experience pressure and thereby investigate the compressive mechanosensors and signaling pathways.

Uveitis is a vision-threatening disease primarily driven by a dysregulated immune response, with retinal microglia playing a pivotal role in its progression. Although the transcription factor EGR2 is known to be closely associated with uveitis, including Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and Behcet's disease, and is essential for maintaining the dynamic homeostasis of autoimmunity, its exact role in uveitis remains unclear. In this study, diminished EGR2 expression was observed in both retinal microglia from experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) mice and inflammation-induced human microglia cell line (HMC3).

Background: Pyroptosis, inflammation-related programed cell death mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome, is involved in the pathogenesis of cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury. Our study aims to explore the biological role of growth differentiation factor (GDF)15 in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced neuronal pyroptosis.
Methods: HT22 neurons were subjected to OGD/R to simulate cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury.
