Several different signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation are initiated by binding of ligands to cell-surface and membrane-bound enzyme-linked receptors, such as receptor tyrosine kinases and serine-threonine kinases. They prompt phosphorylation of tyrosine and serine-threonine residues and initiate downstream signaling pathways and priming of intracellular molecules that convey the signal in the cytoplasm and nucleus, with transcriptional activation of specific genes enriching cell growth and survival-related cascades. These cell processes are rhythmically driven by molecular clockworks endowed in every cell type and when deregulated play a crucial role in cancer onset and progression. Growth factors and their matching receptor-dependent signaling are frequently overexpressed and/or dysregulated in many cancer types. In this review we focus on the interplay between biological clocks and Growth Factor Receptor-dependent signaling in the context of carcinogenesis.

Neuronal dendrites must relay synaptic inputs over long distances, but the mechanisms by which activity-evoked intracellular signals propagate over macroscopic distances remain unclear. Here, we discovered a system of periodically arranged endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) junctions tiling the plasma membrane of dendrites at ∼1 μm intervals, interlinked by a meshwork of ER tubules patterned in a ladder-like array. Populated with Junctophilin-linked plasma membrane voltage-gated Ca channels and ER Ca-release channels (ryanodine receptors), ER-PM junctions are hubs for ER-PM crosstalk, fine-tuning of Ca homeostasis, and local activation of the Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors, but its underlying pathogenic mechanisms are largely obscure. Interleukin-22 (IL-22), one cytokine in the tumor immune microenvironment, was reported to be associated with carcinoma progression. Here, we aimed to investigate the regulation of IL-22 in endometrial carcinoma.

Hyaluronan provokes inflammation but suppresses phagocytotic function in macrophages.

J Mol Cell Cardiol

Center for Cardiometabolic Science, Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute, Department of Medicine, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, United States of America. Electronic address:

Background: The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides structural and functional support for the myocardium, but myocardial infarction (MI) changes the composition of the ECM. One of the chief components of the ECM, hyaluronan (HA), accumulates after MI; however, specific biological actions of HA-particularly at the level of infiltrating immune cells and implications of such interactions on ventricular remodeling-have not been explored.

Goal: Because acute accumulation of HA coincides with macrophage infiltration after MI, we assessed the impact of HA on macrophage function.

Evidence and Mechanism of Bile Acid-Mediated Gut-Brain Axis in Anxiety and Depression.

Am J Pathol

November 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, St. John's University, Queens, New York. Electronic address:

Bidirectional communication between the brain and gastrointestinal tract, called the gut-brain axis, is linked with our emotions. Intestinal lipids, hormones, and molecules, such as bile acids (BAs), have been known to impact our mood, motivation, and emotions via the gut-brain axis. BAs are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and serve as a regulator of lipid metabolism and hormonal secretion in the intestine.
