High expression of 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1), which adds AMP residues in 2',5' linkage to a variety of substrates, is observed in many cancers as a part of the interferon-related DNA damage resistance signature (IRDS). Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) is rapidly synthesized from NAD at sites of DNA damage to facilitate repair, but excessive PAR synthesis due to extensive DNA damage results in cell death by energy depletion and/or activation of PAR-dependent programmed cell death pathways. We find that OAS1 adds AMP residues in 2',5' linkage to PAR, inhibiting its synthesis in vitro and reducing its accumulation in cells. Increased OAS1 expression substantially improves cell viability following DNA-damaging treatments that stimulate PAR synthesis during DNA repair. We conclude that high expression of OAS1 in cancer cells promotes their ability to survive DNA damage by attenuating PAR synthesis and thus preventing cell death.

Insulin resistance is a condition characterized by the attenuated biological response in the presence of normal or elevated insulin level and therefore is characterized by the impaired sensitivity to insulin and impaired glucose disposal and utilization. Insulin resistance in brain/Brain insulin resistance (BIR) is accompanied by the various manifestations including alteration in glucose sensing by hypothalamic neurons, impaired sympathetic outflow in response to hypoglycemia, increased ROS production, impaired mitochondrial oxygen consumption in the brain, cognitive deficits and neuronal cell damage. It has been reported that the disrupted insulin signaling is accompanied by the reduced expression of insulin receptor (IR)/insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1)/PI3K/AKT and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)/IRS2/PI3K pathways.

The transsulfuration (TSS) pathway is an alternative source of cysteine for glutathione synthesis. Little of the TSS pathway in antioxidant capacity in sickle cell disease (SCD) is known. Here, we evaluate the effects of TSS pathway activation through cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) to attenuate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ferroptosis stresses in SCD.

A 55-year-old man with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) was diagnosed with left renal angiomyolipoma (AML), a group of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors called PEComas. He had received the mTOR inhibitor everolimus, which resulted in a complete response. However, a left renal mass relapsed in two years, followed by the occurrence of a hepatic mass five months later.

Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (RIPK1) is widely expressed and integral to inflammatory and cell death responses. Autosomal recessive RIPK1-deficiency, due to biallelic loss of function mutations in RIPK1, is a rare inborn error of immunity (IEI) resulting in uncontrolled necroptosis, apoptosis and inflammation. Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been suggested as a potential curative therapy, the extent to which disease may be driven by extra-hematopoietic effects of RIPK1-deficiency, which are non-amenable to HSCT, is not clear.

Cellular senescence contributes to a variety of pathologies associated with aging and is implicated as a cellular state in which cancer cells can survive treatment. Reported senolytic drug treatments act through varying molecular mechanisms, but heterogeneous efficacy across the diverse contexts of cellular senescence indicates a need for predictive biomarkers of senolytic activity. Using multi-parametric analyses of commonly reported molecular features of the senescent phenotype, we assayed a variety of models, including malignant and nonmalignant cells, using several triggers of senescence induction and found little univariate predictive power of these traditional senescence markers to identify senolytic drug sensitivity.
