ELAV-like RNA-binding protein 1 (ELAVL1) is a key RNA-binding protein involved in tumor progression and metastasis. This study identifies a previously unrecognized interaction between ELAVL1 and TL1A mRNA, elucidating its role in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression through the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Overexpression of ELAVL1 significantly enhances the proliferation and migration of GC cells, whereas silencing ELAVL1 leads to a marked reduction in these processes. Additionally, stable knockout of ELAVL1 significantly inhibits the growth of xenograft tumors derived from GC cells in nude mice. Mechanistically, ELAVL1 directly binds to TL1A mRNA through its RNA recognition motifs (RRM1 and RRM3). The binding sites on TL1A mRNA have been confirmed in two regions: one located between nucleotides 1605 and 1868, and the other between 4324 and 4587. ELAVL1 stabilizes TL1A mRNA expression and promotes GC progression by activating the downstream PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Our findings highlight a novel regulatory axis involving ELAVL1, TL1A mRNA, and PI3K/Akt, providing new insights into RNA-mediated oncogenic signaling and establishing ELAVL1 as a potential therapeutic target for GC. This discovery lays the groundwork for developing targeted therapies against ELAVL1.

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease characterized by non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas. One of its immunological hallmarks is the differentiation of CD4 + naïve T cells into Th1/Th17 cells, accompanied by the release of numerous pro-inflammatory cytokines. The TL1A/DR3 signaling pathway plays a crucial role in activating effector lymphocytes, thereby triggering pro-inflammatory responses.

Alveolar epithelial barrier is a potential therapeutic target for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, an effective intervention against alveolar epithelial barrier has not been developed. Here, based on single-cell RNA and mRNA sequencing results, death receptor 3 (DR3) and its only known ligand tumor necrosis factor ligand-associated molecule 1A (TL1A) were significantly reduced in epithelium from an ARDS mice and cell models.

For patients with cirrhosis, early diagnosis is the key to delaying the development of liver fibrosis and improving prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of TL1A, which is a susceptibility gene for hepatic fibrosis, and DR3 in the development of cirrhosis and fibrosis. We analyzed the expression of TL1A, DR3, and other inflammatory cytokines associated with liver fibrosis in serum and PBMCs in 200 patients.
