Psoriasis is mainly characterized by abnormal hyperplasia of keratinocytes and immune cells infiltrating into the dermis and epidermis. Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like (NEDD4L) is a highly conserved HECT type E3 ligase that plays an important role in regulating physiological and pathological processes. Here, we identify NEDD4L as a negative regulator of psoriasis. Nedd4l significantly inhibits imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin hyperplasia, and this effect is attributed to the inhibitory effect of NEDD4L on IL-6/GP130 signaling in keratinocytes. Mechanistically, NEDD4L directly interacts with GP130 and mediates its Lys-27-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Moreover, the expression of NEDD4L is downregulated in the epidermis from IMQ-treated mice and psoriasis patients and negatively correlates with the protein levels of GP130 and p-STAT3 in clinical samples. Collectively, we uncover an inhibitory role of NEDD4L in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and suggest a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of psoriasis.

Background: Tubular injury triggered by hyperglycemia is an important pathological characteristic in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Accumulated advanced glycation end products and their precursor methylglyoxal (MGO), contribute to the development of DN. Carnosine has been shown to prevent the development of DN but the underlying mechanism still needs to be studied in depth.

Various factors play key roles in maintaining intestine homeostasis. Disruption of the balance may lead to intestinal inflammatory diseases (IBDs) and even colorectal cancer (CRC). Loss or gain of function of many key proteins can result in dysregulated intestinal homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
- - Approximately 70% of breast cancer cases are luminal-type (ER+), which can be treated with tamoxifen, but 30% of these patients develop resistance, mainly due to the activation of the PI3K pathway.
- - Research found that N6 adenine-specific DNA methyltransferase 1 (N6AMT1) is highly expressed in luminal breast cancer but decreased in tamoxifen-resistant cells, with FOXA1 promoting N6AMT1 transcription.
- - Increasing N6AMT1 expression restores tamoxifen sensitivity in resistant cells, and combining tamoxifen with a p110α inhibitor enhances treatment effectiveness, suggesting that N6AMT1 could serve as a biomarker

Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated 4-like (NEDD4L) is an HECT (homologous to E6AP C terminus)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. As previously documented, bioinformatics analysis revealed is downregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, the target substrate regulated by NEDD4L in ccRCC remains unknown.
