In a recent issue in , Sung Min Son unveil a novel layer in the regulation of the mTORC1/autophagy axis by EP300 which can undergo nucleocytoplasmic shuttling in response to alterations in nutrient availability. The study highlights that, in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, overabundant cytoplasmic EP300 results in mTORC1 hyperactivation and impaired autophagy, potentially contributing to premature and accelerated aging.

Background: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a member of the cytoplasmic inducible transcription factors and plays an important role in mediating signals from cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. We and others have found that STAT3 directly regulates pro-fibrotic signaling in the kidney. The STAT3 protein-protein interaction plays an important role in activating its transcriptional activity.

Sepsis represents an organ dysfunction resulting from the host's maladjusted response to infection, and can give rise to acute kidney injury (AKI), which significantly increase the morbidity and mortality of septic patients. This study strived for identifying a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with sepsis-induced AKI (SI-AKI). Rat tubular epithelial NRK-52E cells were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure for induction of SI-AKI.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of circRNA18_46222157_46248185 (named circRNA18) on goat melanogenesis, which differs significantly in goat skins isolated from white and brown coat-colored skins.
Methods: Expression patterns of circRNA18 in goat skin and melanocytes were determined by qRT-PCR and In situ hybridization. The circRNA18 interference vector was designed and synthesized to transfect melanocytes and detect the effect of circRNA18 interference on melanin production.

Background: The Hippo pathway effector YAP (Yes-associated protein) plays an essential role in cardiomyocyte proliferation and heart regeneration. In response to physiological changes, YAP moves in and out of the nucleus. The pathophysiological mechanisms regulating YAP subcellular localization after myocardial infarction remain poorly defined.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis, persistently infects over 90% of the human adult population and is associated with several human cancers. To establish life-long infection, EBV tampers with the induction of type I interferon (IFN I)-dependent antiviral immunity in the host. How various EBV genes help orchestrate this crucial strategy is incompletely defined.
