Background: Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type I c (PIP5K1c) catalyses the synthesis of phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) by phosphorylating phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate, which plays multiple roles in regulating focal adhesion formation, invasion, and cell migration signal transduction cascades. Here, a new physiological mechanism of PIP5K1c in adipocytes and systemic metabolism is reported.
Methods: Adipose-specific conditional knockout mice were generated to delete the PIP5K1c gene in adipocytes. In addition, in vitro research investigated the effect of PIP5K1c deletion on adipogenesis.
Results: Deletion of PIP5K1c in adipocytes significantly alleviated high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, hyperlipidaemia, hepatic steatosis, and insulin resistance. PIP5K1c deficiency in adipocytes also decreased adipocyte volume in HFD-induced obese mice, whereas no significant differences were observed in body weight and adipose tissue weight under normal chow diet conditions. PIP5K1c knockout in adipocytes significantly enhanced energy expenditure, which protected mice from HFD-induced weight gain. In addition, adipogenesis was markedly impaired in mouse stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from PIP5K1c-deleted mice.
Conclusion: Under HFD conditions, PIP5K1c regulates adipogenesis and adipose tissue homeostasis. Together, these data indicate that PIP5K1c could be a novel potential target for regulating fat accumulation, which could provide novel insight into the treatment of obesity.

Objective: Osteosarcoma (OS) represents a prevalent primary bone neoplasm predominantly affecting the pediatric and adolescent populations, presenting a considerable challenge to human health. The objective of this investigation is to develop a prognostic model centered on anoikis-related genes (ARGs), with the aim of accurately forecasting the survival outcomes of individuals diagnosed with OS and offering insights into modulating the immune microenvironment.
Methods: The study's training cohort comprised 86 OS patients sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, while the validation cohort consisted of 53 OS patients extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.
A dual inhibitor of PIP5K1C and PIKfyve prevents SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on global public health and the economy. Although vaccines and antivirals have provided effective protection and treatment, the development of new small molecule-based antiviral candidates is imperative to improve clinical outcomes against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we identified UNI418, a dual PIKfyve and PIP5K1C inhibitor, as a new chemical agent that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells.

The goal of cancer research is to identify characteristics of cancer cells that allow them to be selectively eliminated without harming the host. One such characteristic is autophagy dependence. Cancer cells survive, proliferate, and metastasize under conditions where normal cells do not.

Article Synopsis
- - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors, with rare genetic variants potentially contributing to its development.
- - Researchers identified rare genetic variants linked to RA using whole-exome sequencing in French families, focusing on a significant pathway related to cell adhesion.
- - The study utilized a multifactor dimensionality reduction approach to discover gene interactions affecting RA risk, highlighting 11 genes with both risk-increasing and risk-decreasing interactions confirmed in additional samples.

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) is generated by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases (PIP5Ks) from phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P). Structurally diverse and selective inhibitors against PIP5Ks are required to further elucidate the therapeutic potential for PIP5K inhibition, although the effects of PIP5K inhibition on various diseases and their symptoms, such as cancer and chronic pain, have been reported. Our medicinal chemistry efforts led to novel and potent PIP5K1C inhibitors.
