Transducin β-like protein 1 X-linked (TBL1X) is an essential scaffold protein involved in multiple signaling pathways, such as the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, where it protects β-catenin from ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Recent studies, however, suggest that TBL1X might modulate Wnt-regulated genes independently of β-catenin in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Here, we developed selective TBL1X degraders against DLBCL using the Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) strategy as a proof-of-concept. Eight PROTACs showed strong cytotoxic activity. Interestingly, N-linked PROTACs exhibited minimal TBL1X degradation, while most O-linked PROTACs significantly reduced TBL1X levels, suggesting the crucial role of the linker attachment site in successful TBL1X degradation. Our mechanistic study revealed that TBL1X degradation induced by relied on the formation of the ternary complex and was dependent on the proteasome. The TBL1X degraders developed in this study could be a valuable chemical tool for investigating TBL1X-related pathways.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an advancing neurodegenerative disorder distinguished by the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the human brain. Nevertheless, the lack of peripheral biomarkers that can detect the development of AD remains a significant limitation.
Objective: The main aim of this work was to discover the molecular markers associated with AD.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how abnormal splicing of genes contributes to the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and identifies PPM1G as a key biomarker related to HCC metastasis.
- RNA sequencing revealed specific splice variants, particularly the TBL1X-S variant, regulated by PPM1G, which promotes metastasis in HCC.
- The research suggests that the interaction between PPM1G and TBL1X-S enhances processes like epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), providing new insights into liver cancer metastasis mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers performed microarray analysis to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between etoposide-treated and untreated colorectal cancer cells, revealing several key genes that interact with each other.
- * The study found that after etoposide treatment, processes like the cell cycle and metabolism were downregulated, while necroptosis and oncogene pathways were upregulated; two specific genes, LMNB1 and JUN, were identified as potential targets for understanding cancer metastasis.

Background: Mutations in TBL1X, part of the NCOR1/SMRT corepressor complex, were identified in patients with hereditary X-linked central congenital hypothyroidism and associated hearing loss. The role of TBL1X in thyroid hormone (TH) action, however, is incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of TBL1X on T3-regulated gene expression in two human liver cell models.
