AI Article Synopsis

  • Malignant tumor cells undergo changes in their shape and gene expression, especially involving cytoskeleton proteins that aid in invasion and spreading to other parts of the body.
  • Microtubules, an essential part of the cytoskeleton, depend on posttranslational modifications like acetylation, particularly at lysine 40 on α-tubulin, which is linked to cancer metastasis.
  • Noncoding RNAs, including long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), play a significant role in regulating the expression of acetylated tubulin, influencing the development and spread of various cancers.

Article Abstract

Malignant tumor cells go through morphological and gene expression alterations, including rearrangement of cytoskeleton proteins that promote invasion and metastasis. Microtubules form a major cytoskeleton component that plays a significant role in regulating multiple cellular activities and function depending on the presence of posttranslational modification (PTM). Acetylation is a type of PTM that generally occurs in the lysine 40 region of α-tubulin and is known to be critically associated with cancer metastasis. Current evidence demonstrates that noncoding RNAs, such as long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (or miRNA), which are correlated with gene regulation modulate the expression of acetylated tubulin in the development and metastasis of cancer. This review provides an overview about the role of lncRNA and miRNA in regulation of tubulin acetylation in various types of cancer.

Melanosome transport is regulated by major proteins, including Rab27a, Melanophilin (Mlph), and Myosin Va (Myo-Va), that form a tripartite complex. Mutation of these proteins causes melanosome aggregation around the nucleus. Among these proteins, Mlph is a linker between Rab27a and Myo-Va.

Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) is dysregulated in many types of cancer and exhibits oncogenic activity by promoting tumorigenesis and metastasis of cancer cells. However, its defined role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been fully elucidated. To reveal the biological function of ERRα and determine the underlying regulatory mechanism in RCC, the quantitative proteomics analysis and mechanism investigation were conducted.

Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), a pivotal regulatory metabolite, is a product of numerous catabolic reactions and a substrate for various anabolic responses. Its role extends to crucial physiological processes, such as glucose homeostasis and free fatty acid utilization. Moreover, acetyl-CoA plays a significant part in reshaping the metabolic microenvironment and influencing the progression of several diseases and conditions, including cancer, insulin resistance, diabetes, heart failure, fear, and neuropathic pain.

Despite major efforts toward its eradication, cholera remains a major health threat and economic burden in many low- and middle-income countries. Between outbreaks, the bacterium responsible for the disease, , survives in aquatic environmental reservoirs, where it commonly forms biofilms, for example, on zooplankton. -acetyl glucosamine-binding protein A (GbpA) is an adhesin that binds to the chitinaceous surface of zooplankton and breaks its dense crystalline packing thanks to its lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) activity, which provides with nutrients.

This study is the first to explore the effects of the novel yellow pigment monascinol (Msol) from red mold rice (RMR) on reducing body fat and to compare its effects with those of monascin (MS) and ankaflavin (AK). In a high-fat diet-induced rat model, different doses of RMR fermented rice (RL, RM, RH) and purified Msol, MS, and AK were administered over an 8-week period. The results showed that all treatment groups significantly reduced body weight and fat mass.
