Skin plays central roles in systemic physiology, and it undergoes significant functional changes during aging. Members of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator (PGC-1) family (PGC-1s) are key regulators of the biology of numerous tissues, yet we know very little about their impact on skin functions. Global gene expression profiling and gene silencing in keratinocytes uncovered that PGC-1s control the expression of metabolic genes as well as that of terminal differentiation programs. Glutamine emerged as a key substrate promoting mitochondrial respiration, keratinocyte proliferation, and the expression of PGC-1s and terminal differentiation programs. Importantly, gene silencing of PGC-1s reduced the thickness of a reconstructed living human epidermal equivalent. Exposure of keratinocytes to a salicylic acid derivative potentiated the expression of PGC-1s and terminal differentiation genes and increased mitochondrial respiration. Overall, our results show that the PGC-1s are essential effectors of epidermal physiology, revealing an axis that could be targeted in skin conditions and aging.

Nailfold Capillaroscopy (NFC) is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic tool used to detect microvascular changes in nailfold. Chronic pathological changes associated with a wide range of systemic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and rheumatological conditions like systemic sclerosis, can manifest as observable microvascular changes in the terminal capillaries of nailfolds. The current gold standard relies on experts performing manual evaluations, which is an exhaustive time-intensive, and subjective process.

Proteasome-dependent protein degradation and the digestion of peptides by aminopeptidases are essential for myogenesis. Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) are uniquely involved in, both, the proteasomal degradation of proteins and in the regulation of translation (via involvement in post-translational modification). Suppressing MetAP1 and MetAP2 expression inhibits the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays a critical role in detoxifying various chemical compounds and is essential for host adaptation and pesticide resistance in insects. To understand the genetic structure of the GST family and the expression patterns among three haplotypes of Aphis gossypii, we conducted studies using genome annotation files and RNA-seq data. We identified 11 GSTs in A.

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) allows daughter cells of a polarized mother to acquire different developmental fates. In , the Wnt/β-catenin Asymmetry (WβA) pathway regulates many embryonic and larval ACDs; here, a Wnt gradient induces an asymmetric distribution of Wnt signaling components within the dividing mother cell. One terminal nuclear effector of the WβA pathway is the transcriptional activator SYS-1/β-catenin.
