Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with a high incidence in squamous epithelium. The E3 ubiquitin ligase DTL is a component of the CRL4A complex and is widely involved in tumor progression. We aimed to analyze the role of DTL in HNSCC and to explore its mechanism of action. Through clinical analysis, we found that DTL is upregulated in HNSCC tissues and is associated with the tumor microenvironment and poor survival in patients. Through gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays, we showed that DTL promotes cell proliferation and migration in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Mass spectrometry analysis and immunoprecipitation assays showed that DTL interacts with ARGLU1 to promote K11-linked ubiquitination-mediated degradation of ARGLU1, thereby promoting the activation of the CSL-dependent Notch signaling pathway. Furthermore, siARGLU1 blocks the inhibitory effects of DTL knockdown on HNSCC cells. In this study, we showed that DTL promotes HNSCC progression through K11-linked ubiquitination of ARGLU1 to activate the CSL-dependent Notch pathway. These findings identify a promising therapeutic target for HNSCC.

Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death caused by redox imbalance mediated by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which is intimately linked to human disease. Circular RNA, characterized by covalently closed loop structure, has attracted much attention due to its involvement in various biological functions. However, little is known about the role of circRNA in ferroptosis.

The early and highly accurate prediction of COVID-19 based on medical images can speed up the diagnostic process and thereby mitigate disease spread; therefore, developing AI-based models is an inevitable endeavor. The presented work, to our knowledge, is the first to expand the model space and identify a better performing model among 10,000 constructed deep transfer learning (DTL) models as follows. First, we downloaded and processed 4481 CT and X-ray images pertaining to COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, obtained from the Kaggle repository.

Article Synopsis
- DTL, a protein involved in the CRL4A complex, is crucial for maintaining genome stability and has been linked to various cancers, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) needs more exploration.
- Research involving a clinical cohort and RNA-sequencing indicates that DTL is associated with patient outcomes in HCC and could be a useful prognostic marker.
- DTL enhances HCC cell growth, metastasis, and drug resistance, and is activated by HIF-1α in low-oxygen conditions, suggesting it might be a potential target for treatment and diagnosis in HCC.

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common chronic disease that is a threat to human health. Accumulating evidence showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with various diseases and can function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). However, the roles and functions of the lncRNA‒miRNA-mRNA network in CKD are still unclear.
