Differentiation of adipose progenitor cells into mature adipocytes entails a dramatic reorganization of the cellular architecture to accommodate lipid storage into cytoplasmic lipid droplets. Lipid droplets occupy most of the adipocyte volume, compressing the nucleus beneath the plasma membrane. How this cellular remodeling affects sub-nuclear structure, including size and number of nucleoli, remains unclear. We describe the morphological remodeling of the nucleus and the nucleolus during in vitro adipogenic differentiation of primary human adipose stem cells. We find that cell cycle arrest elicits a remodeling of nucleolar structure which correlates with a decrease in protein synthesis. Strikingly, triggering cytoskeletal rearrangements mimics the nucleolar remodeling observed during adipogenesis. Our results point to nucleolar remodeling as an active, mechano-regulated mechanism during adipogenic differentiation and demonstrate a key role of the actin cytoskeleton in defining nuclear and nucleolar architecture in differentiating human adipose stem cells.

Intranuclear protein quality control (PQC) is critical for protein homeostasis (or proteostasis) in non-dividing cells including brain nerve cells, but its molecular mechanism remains unresolved. In nutrient-starved conditions, elimination of nucleolar proteins is critical for cell viability in budding yeast, providing a model system to study the mechanisms involved in intranuclear PQC. The nuclear-specific endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) CHMP7/Chm7 is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, but its known role is limited.

Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is required for maintenance of nuclear functions and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal model for studying ESCRT-dependent diseases. Nucleolar proteins are degraded by macronucleophagy and micronucleophagy after nutrient depletion and inactivation of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) kinase.

Non-coding RNAs have gathered significant attention for their unique roles in biological regulation. Across a broad spectrum of developmental processes and diseases, particularly in human malignancies, ncRNAs play pivotal roles in regulatory mechanisms. MicroRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs stand out among the diverse forms of ncRNAs that have been implicated in cancer.

Article Synopsis
- CX-5461 is a selective RNA polymerase I inhibitor that suppresses the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells by triggering a DNA damage response (DDR) involving ATM/ATR and p53 activation.
- The study focused on primary aortic smooth muscle cells to investigate the mechanisms of CX-5461-induced DDR, finding that it activates homologous recombination but does not cause significant DNA double strand breaks.
- The primary cause of the DDR in these cells appears to be DNA replication stress, which may be linked to increased conflict between DNA replication and transcription rather than specific DNA structures.

Unlabelled: Recent evidence has revealed that the reorganization of nuclear domains is largely mediated by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). During viral infection, numerous nuclear domains undergo significant changes through LLPS for and against the replication of the virus. However, the regulatory mechanism of LLPS in response to viral infection and its detailed functions in viral replication remain unclear.
