Bone marrow (BM) adipose tissue (BMAT), a unique adipose depot, plays an important role in diseases such as osteoporosis and bone metastasis. Precise control of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation is critical for BMAT formation and regeneration. Here, we show that death associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) negatively regulates BM adipogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Prx1creDapk1loxp/loxp mice showed more adipocytes in the femur than Dapk1loxp/loxp mice. Further mechanistic analyses revealed that DAPK1 inhibits p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling in the nucleus by binding the p38 isoform MAPK14, decreasing p38 nuclear activity, which subsequently inhibits BM adipogenesis. The inhibitory effect of DAPK1 against MAPK14 was independent of its kinase activity. In addition, the decreased DAPK1 was observed in the BM-MSCs of ageing mice. Our results reveal a previously undescribed function for DAPK1 in the regulation of adipogenesis and may also reveal the underlying mechanism of BMAT formation in ageing.

NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1) is a major isoform of Nox in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). VSMC activation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling induce abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In this study, we aim to determine the role of Nox1 in the progression of AAA and explore the underling mechanism.

Hyperosmotic shock induces cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation in Xenopus oocytes. Different signaling pathways engaged by osmostress converge on the mitochondria to trigger cell death. The mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) JNK1-1 and JNK1-2 are early activated by hyperosmotic shock and sustained activation of both isoforms accelerates the apoptotic program.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used advanced microscopy techniques to analyze how different Aβ isoforms affect the mechanical properties (Young's modulus) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in SH-SY5Y cells.
- * Findings indicate that unmodified Aβ increases cell stiffness the most after 4 hours, whereas pS8-Aβ has the strongest effect on stiffness and ROS levels after 24 hours, suggesting that Aβ modifications influence cellular signaling pathways

Exploring the protective mechanism of metformin against septic cardiomyopathy based on the mitogen-activated protein kinase P38 (P38 MAPK)/c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. This paper is an experimental animal study design, which was completed from January to December 2023 at the Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. Forty-eight 8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups: group A (control group), group B (model group), group C (model+trimetazidine hydrochloride), and group D (model+metformin group), with 12 mice in each group, by using a randomized numeric table method.

The muscleblind family of mRNA splicing regulators is conserved across species and regulates the development of muscles and the nervous system. However, how Muscleblind proteins regulate neuronal fate specification and neurite morphogenesis at the single-neuron level is not well understood. In this study, we found that the C.
