Introduction: Autophagy is an important mechanism of cell homeostasis maintenance. As essential serine/threonine-protein kinases, casein kinase I family members affect tumorigenesis by regulating a variety of cellular progression. However, the mechanism by which they regulate autophagy remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: We silenced CK1δ/ε in cancer cells and observed cell morphology, the expression of autophagy-related genes, and its impact on cancer cell growth and viability. By inhibiting CK1δ/ε-induced upregulation of autophagy genes, we profiled the regulatory mechanism of CK1δ/ε on autophagy and cancer cell growth. The impact of CK1δ/ε inhibition on tumor cell growth was also assessed in vivo.
Results: Here, we found that CK1δ/ε played an important role in ULK1-mediated autophagy regulation in both lung cancer and melanoma cells. Mechanically, silencing CK1δ/ε increased ULK1 expression with enhanced autophagic flux and suppressed cancer cell proliferation, while ULK1 knockdown blocked the activation of autophagy caused by CK1δ/ε inhibition. By silencing CK1δ/ε in syngeneic mouse model bearing LLC1 murine lung cancer cells in vivo, we observed tumor growth suppression mediated by CK1δ/ε inhibition.
Conclusion: Our results provide evidence for the role of CK1δ/ε in the regulation of tumorigenesis via the ULK1-mediated autophagy, and also suggest the impact of CK1δ/ε inhibition on tumor growth and its significance as a potential therapeutic target.

Background: Celiac disease (CeD) has shown an association with autoimmune disorders including vitiligo and alopecia areata (AA). Ritlecitinib, a JAK3 and TEC kinase family inhibitor, has been approved for treatment of patients with AA and is in late-stage development for vitiligo. Ritlecitinib inhibits cytotoxic T cells, NK cells, and B cells which play a role in the pathogenesis of CeD.

Chronic stress typically leads to deficits in fear extinction. However, when a delay occurs from the end of chronic stress and the start of fear conditioning (a "recovery"), rats show improved context-cue discrimination, compared to recently stressed rats or nonstressed rats. The infralimbic cortex (IL) is important for fear extinction and undergoes neuronal remodeling after chronic stress ends, which could drive improved context-cue discrimination.

Fewer than 50% of metastatic deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC) patients respond to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Identifying and expanding this patient population remains a pressing clinical need. Here, we report that an interferon-high immunophenotype locally enriched in cytotoxic lymphocytes and antigen-presenting macrophages is required for response.

Janus kinases (JAKs) are a family of intracellular tyrosine kinases that play a crucial role in signal transduction pathways. JAK2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of leukemia, making it a promising target for research aimed at reducing the risk of this disease. This study examined the potential of mimosamycin as a JAK2 inhibitor using both in vitro and in silico approaches.
