Cancers with activating mutations of KRAS show a high prevalence but remain intractable, requiring innovative strategies to overcome the poor targetability of KRAS. Here, we report that KRAS expression is post-translationally up-regulated through deubiquitination when the scaffolding function of NDRG3 (N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 3) promotes specific interaction between KRAS and a deubiquitinating enzyme, USP9X. In KRAS-mutant cancer cells KRAS protein expression, downstream signaling, and cell growth are highly dependent on NDRG3.

Microbial dysbiosis may manifest as inflammation both orally and in the gastrointestinal tract. Altered oral and gut microbiota composition and decreased diversity have been shown in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and periodontal disease (PD). Recent studies have verified transmission of oral opportunistic microbes to the gut.

Aim: The present study examined the protective potential of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) modified to overexpress alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), in a mouse model of the liver fibrosis.
Background: For the treatment of end-stage liver diseases, cell therapy has emerged as a promising noninvasive alternative to liver transplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being evaluated due to their dual capabilities of promoting liver regeneration and modulating the pathogenic inflammation of the immune system.

α1-Antitrypsin (AAT), an acute-phase reactant not unsimilar to C-reactive protein (CRP), is a serine protease inhibitor that harbors tissue-protective and immunomodulatory attributes. Its concentrations appropriately increase during conditions of extensive tissue injury, and it induces immune tolerance, in part, by inhibiting the enzymatic activity of the inflammatory serine protease, proteinase 3 (PR3). Typically administered to patients with genetic AAT deficiency, AAT treatment was recently shown to improve outcomes in patients with steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
