  • The study investigates the link between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE), focusing on the role of oxidative stress and protein acetylation in their development.
  • Researchers analyzed placental tissues from healthy individuals and patients with GDM and PE, identifying 22 regulated proteins and 192 acetylated proteins that are significant to these conditions.
  • The findings highlight the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress and ferroptosis pathways, offering potential insights into biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GDM and PE.

Article Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with maternal and infant health. Although the pathogenesis of PE and GDM remains controversial, oxidative stress is involved in the underlying pathology of GDM and PE. Protein lysine acetylation (Kac) plays an important regulatory role in biological processes. There is little data regarding the association of the maternal acetylome with GDM and PE. This study aimed to assess the potential value of the proteome and acetylome for GDM and PE. In our study, we included placental tissues from healthy individuals (n = 6), GDM patients (n = 6), and PE patients (n = 6) to perform 4D-label free quantification proteomics analysis and PRM analysis. We identified 22 significantly regulated proteins and 192 significantly regulated acetylated proteins between the GDM and PE groups. Furthermore, 192 significantly regulated acetylated proteins were mainly enriched in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and ferroptosis pathways. Seventeen acetylated sites in these two pathways were verified by PRM analysis. Our comprehensive analysis revealed key features of GDM/PE-significantly regulated acetylated proteins in the placentas from GDM and PE. The results of signaling pathway analysis focused on ERS and ferroptosis. These findings may help explore the underlying pathology, new biomarkers, and therapeutic targets of GDM and PE.

SREBP1 is a transcription factor that influences lipogenesis by regulating key genes associated with lipid biosynthesis, while AMPK, modulates lipid metabolism by regulating acetyl-CoA carboxylase. The exact role of these metabolic regulators in oleaginous microbes remains unclear. This study identified and manipulated the genes encoding SREBP1 (sre1) and α1 subunit of AMPK (ampk-α1) in Mucor circinelloides WJ11.

Background: Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.

Methods: Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment.

Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder marked by pelvic pain and infertility, has its pathogenesis and pathophysiology significantly influenced by epigenetics, as these factors have been well characterized. However, the role of RNA-mediated epigenetic regulation in endometriosis remains to be elucidated. In our study, we found that N4-acetylcytidine (acC) RNA modification and N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) were significantly upregulated in endometrial lesions compared to eutopic endometrium.

The down-regulation of p21 after long-term CDK4/6 inhibition represents a key mechanism causing resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors in some tumor cells, while the HDAC inhibitor could upregulate the level of p21. Herein, a series of novel CDK4/6 and HDAC dual-targeting inhibitors based on the moiety of palbociclib were designed and synthesized. Among them, compound N14 potently inhibited CDK4/6 and HDAC1/6 at nanomolar levels and induced cell apoptosis and G/G phase arrest through HDAC-p21-CDK signaling pathway in HuH-7 cell line.

E2F1 is a critical transcription factor that regulates cell cycle progression, is expressed at high levels in most cancer cells, and activates the biogenesis of proteins related to the cell cycle. Over recent years, researchers have demonstrated that E2F1 could also facilitate cellular apoptosis under conditions of cellular stress, thus creating a double-edged sword associated with both the regulation of cellular survival and death. However, the mechanisms responsible for these actions remain poorly understood.
