NUDT15 encodes nucleotide triphosphate diphosphatase that is responsible for metabolizing purine analog drugs, and its genetic mutation results in severe side effects from thiopurine therapy. However, the functions of Nudt15 in leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) remain unknown. Here we reveal the Nudt15-regulating self-renewal of both mouse LSCs and HSCs. Our data show that Nudt15 negatively regulates murine leukemogenesis and its deficiency prolongs the survival of murine AML recipients by impairing LSC self-renewal, while Nudt15 ablation markedly enhances mouse HSC regenerative potential and self-renewal. Mechanistically, Nudt15 modulates inflammatory signaling in mouse LSCs and HSCs, leading to divergent self-renewal outcomes. Nudt15 depletion inhibits mouse LSC self-renewal by downregulating Ifi30, resulting in elevating intracellular ROS level. Gata2, a key regulator, is required for Nudt15-mediating inflammatory signaling in mouse HSCs. Collectively, our results present new crucial roles of Nudt15 in maintaining the functions of mouse LSC and HSC through inflammatory signaling and have a new insight into clinical implications.

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and high recurrence rates. Chronic inflammation is a critical driver of OC progression, contributing to immune evasion, tumor growth, and metastasis. Inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-8, as well as key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), are upregulated in OC, promoting a tumor-promoting environment.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal forms of cancer, and despite low incidence rates, it remains the sixth leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Immunotherapy, which aims to enhance the immune system's ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, has emerged as a promising approach in the battle against PDAC. PARP7, a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, is a negative regulator of the type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway and has been reported to reduce anti-tumour immunity.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in which macrophages produce cytokines that enhance inflammation and contribute to the destruction of cartilage and bone. Additive Sishen decoction (ASSD) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of RA; however, its active ingredients and the mechanism of its therapeutic effects remain unclear.
Methods: To predict the ingredients and key targets of ASSD, we constructed "drug-ingredient-target-disease" and protein-protein interaction networks.

a member of the family, is known for its diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory properties. The mechanisms through which polysaccharide (LTP) induces autophagy, however, remain largely unexplored. This study aims to elucidate the role of LTP in autophagy induction and its efficacy in mitigating inflammation within macrophages.

Unlabelled: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, progressive, immune-mediated, gastrointestinal inflammatory disease with increasing occurrences in children. Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), a migration-promoting protein, acts as a tumor-promoting factor in malignant tumors. However, functions and mechanisms of CTHRC1 in children with IBD remain unclear.
