The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) involves a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, immune processes, and environmental factors, leading to the selective destruction of pancreatic beta-cells by the immune system. Emerging evidence suggests that intrinsic beta-cell factors, including oxidative stress and post-translational modifications (PTM) of beta-cell antigens, may also contribute to their immunogenicity, shedding new light on the multifaceted pathogenesis of T1D. Over the past 30 years, neoepitopes generated by PTMs have been hypothesized to play a role in T1D pathogenesis, but their involvement has only been systematically investigated in recent years. In this review, we explored the interplay between oxidative PTMs, neoepitopes, and T1D, highlighting oxidative stress as a pivotal factor in immune system dysfunction, beta-cell vulnerability, and disease onset.

Among various post-translational modifications (PTMs), predicting C-linked and S-linked glycosites is an essential task, yet experimental techniques such as Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), Enzymatic Deglycosylation, and Mass Spectrometry (MS) are expensive. Therefore, computational techniques are required to predict these glycosites. Here, different language model embeddings and sequential features were explored.

For the effective growth of malignant tumors, including glioblastoma, the necessary factors involve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, hypoxia, and the availability of nutrients, particularly glucose. The ER degradation enhancing alpha-mannosidase like protein 1 (EDEM1) is involved in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) targeting misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan-independent manner. EDEM1 was also identified as a new modulator of insulin synthesis and secretion.

Recent progress in noncoding RNA research has highlighted transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) as key regulators of gene expression, linking them to numerous cellular functions. tsRNAs, which are produced by ribonucleases such as angiogenin and Dicer, are classified based on their size and cleavage positions. They play diverse regulatory roles at the transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational levels.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent complication associated with diabetes in which podocyte dysfunction significantly contributes to the development and progression of the condition. Ring finger protein 183 (RNF183) is an ER-localized, transmembrane ring finger protein with classical E3 ligase activity. However, whether RNF183 is involved in glomerular podocyte dysfunction, which is the mechanism of action of DKD, is still poorly understood.
