Lysosomal lipid switch sensitises to nutrient deprivation and mTOR targeting in pancreatic cancer

Maria Chiara De Santis et al.

Summary: This study reveals that loss of PI3K-C2 gamma in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) leads to hyperactivation of mTORC1 pathway and rewiring of glutamine metabolism, increasing tumor aggressiveness. Furthermore, PI3K-C2 gamma knockout tumors fail to adapt to metabolic stress induced by glutamine depletion, resulting in cell death. These findings suggest that targeting mTORC1 and glutamine metabolism may be a potential strategy for personalized treatment in PDAC with PI3K-C2 gamma loss.

Targeting pleckstrin-2/Akt signaling reduces proliferation in myeloproliferative neoplasm models

Xu Han et al.

Summary: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are characterized by the activated JAK2/STAT pathway. Pleckstrin-2 (Plek2) is a downstream target of the JAK2/STAT5 pathway and is overexpressed in patients with MPNs. Plek2-specific small molecule inhibitors show potent inhibitory effects on cell proliferation.

Biogenesis and Regulatory Roles of Circular RNAs

Li Yang et al.

Summary: Covalently closed, single-stranded circular RNAs can be produced from viral RNA genomes as well as from the processing of cellular RNAs. Recent studies have revealed that many protein-coding genes can undergo backsplicing, leading to widespread expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in eukaryotic cells. circRNAs play various roles in gene regulation, acting as noncoding RNAs or encoding functional peptides. They are involved in physiological processes including early development, immune responses, neurogenesis, and tumorigenesis.

Innate immune mediator, Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP), is expressed and pro-tumorigenic in pancreatic cancer

Yang Zhang et al.

Summary: IL1RAP is an important regulator in the development of pancreatic cancer and its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. Silencing IL1RAP and inhibiting its downstream IRAK4 can reduce the growth and invasive ability of pancreatic cancer cells.

The Quaking RNA-binding proteins as regulators of cell differentiation

Daniel P. Neumann et al.

Summary: The RNA-binding protein Quaking (QKI) plays an important role in cellular differentiation, with different isoforms affecting neuronal, vascular, muscle, and monocyte cell differentiation as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer progression. QKI isoforms control cell differentiation through regulating alternative splicing, mRNA stability and translation, and also have activities in gene transcription. These diverse functions of the QKI isoforms contribute to their broad influences on RNA metabolism and cellular differentiation.

Genetic Deficiency of MicroRNA-15a/16-1 Confers Resistance to Neuropathological Damage and Cognitive Dysfunction in Experimental Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia

Chao Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that knockout mice of miR-15a/16-1 exhibited fewer cognitive and sensorimotor deficits after VCID. The deficiency of miR-15a/16-1 also reduced myelin degeneration, axonal injury, and neuronal loss in VCID mice. The miR-15a/16-1-IL/10RA/AKT3 axis played a critical role in regulating vascular brain damage and cognitive decline after VCID. Targeting miR-15a/16-1 could be a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of VCID.

Circular RNAs modulate Hippo-YAP signaling: functional mechanisms in cancer

Javeria Qadir et al.

Summary: This review examines the interplay between the Hippo signaling pathway and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in various forms of cancer. It discusses how circRNAs can function as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes in cancer by interacting with miRNAs or proteins. The review also highlights the limitations and constraints in studying circRNA mechanisms, and raises questions about the role of circRNAs associated with the Hippo-YAP pathway in cancer. Finally, it explores the potential of circRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as molecular targets for cancer therapy.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest epithelial malignancies, with increasing research over several decades leading to a better understanding of its carcinogenesis and significant progress in genomics and transcriptomics. The inclusion of PDAC data in international pan-cancer analyses has provided further insights, and the study of PDAC evolution and heterogeneity has led to the proposal of an evolutionary model based on genomics studies of human PDAC.
