Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is an endogenously generated gaseous signaling molecule, which recently has been implicated in autophagy regulation in both plants and mammals through persulfidation of specific targets. Persulfidation has been suggested as the molecular mechanism through which sulfide regulates autophagy in plant cells. ATG18a is a core autophagy component that is required for bulk autophagy and also for reticulophagy during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. In this research, we revealed the role of sulfide in plant ER stress responses as a negative regulator of autophagy. We demonstrate that sulfide regulates ATG18a phospholipid-binding activity by reversible persulfidation at Cys103, and that this modification activates ATG18a binding capacity to specific phospholipids in a reversible manner. Our findings strongly suggest that persulfidation of ATG18a at C103 regulates autophagy under ER stress, and that the impairment of persulfidation affects both the number and size of autophagosomes.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by the production of autoantibodies, resulting in inflammation and organ damage. Although extensive research has been conducted on SLE pathogenesis, a comprehensive understanding of its molecular landscape in different cell types has not been achieved. This study uncovers the molecular mechanisms of the disease by thoroughly examining gene regulatory networks within neutrophils, dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells.

Background: The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are high, and treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is the preferred first-line treatment for patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations. However, EGFR-TKI resistance leads to treatment failure. Yifei-Sanjie pill (YFSJ) is a novel type of Chinese patent medicine for lung cancer.

Background: Macranthoside B (MB) is a saponin compound extracted from hon-eysuckle that has been reported to exhibit significant medicinal values, particularly anti-tumor activities. This study aimed to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of MB in treating adenocarci-noma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Three AEG cell lines and normal gastric epithelial cells were used to assess the an-ticancer activity of MB in vitro.

Background: Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent cancer worldwide, necessitating effective treatment options. However, current treatments do not provide satisfactory results. Quinacrine, a synthetic drug belonging to the 9-aminoacridine family, has demonstrated promising antitumor effects.

Background: Oily skin not only threatens people with aesthetic and hygienic discomfort but also confronts them with annoying skin problems. To explore new skin care ingredients from herbal or plant extracts and understand their underlying mechanism for sebum control would assist in the discovery of desirable sebosuppressive agents, though it is still a deserving and challenging task.
Aim: To explore the effect of Camellia saponin (CS) on modulating the lipogenesis of human sebocytes.
