S100A4-dependent glycolysis promotes lymphatic vessel sprouting in tumor

Anqi Li et al.

Summary: The expression of S100A4 in lymphatic endothelial cells promotes lymphatic vessel sprouting in growing tumors by regulating glycolysis. S100A4 plays a crucial role in the position and motility of tip cells, and its expression is upregulated under hypoxic conditions. These findings suggest that S100A4 is a novel regulator of tumor-induced lymphangiogenesis.

Hypothalamic inflammation in metabolic disorders and aging

Anup Bhusal et al.

Summary: The hypothalamus is a critical brain region for energy homeostasis regulation, with recent studies highlighting the role of glial cells in addition to neurons. However, inflammatory activation of these cells under metabolic stress conditions contributes to various metabolic diseases, worsening the disease state.

AMPK in the brain: its roles in glucose and neural metabolism

Ranjithmenon Muraleedharan et al.

Summary: AMPK is an integrative metabolic sensor that maintains cellular energy balance and plays a crucial role in coordinating intertissue metabolic signaling. Studies suggest a link between AMPK dysregulation and neurodegenerative diseases, although the exact mechanisms involved remain unclear. AMPK activation may have dual effects on neurons, potentially being neuroprotective or pro-apoptotic depending on specific conditions.

Hypothalamic AMPK as a possible target for energy balance-related diseases

Miguel Lopez

Summary: Hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a crucial role in regulating energy balance and metabolism at the whole-body level. Targeting AMPK within the hypothalamus using small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) is a potential strategy for modulating both food intake and energy expenditure, offering treatment options for energy balance-related diseases.

SVCT2-mediated ascorbic acid uptake buffers stress responses via DNA hydroxymethylation reprogramming of S100 calcium-binding protein A4 gene

Qian-Qian Han et al.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic stress disrupts the expression of ascorbic acid transporter, leading to a deficiency in endogenous ascorbic acid and depressive-like behaviors. Supplementation of vitamin C can produce rapid-acting antidepressant effects through DNA demethylation.

LKB1 up-regulation inhibits hypothalamic inflammation and attenuates diet-induced obesity in mice

Zhaoxia Wu et al.

Summary: Diet-induced obesity is associated with chronic inflammation in the hypothalamus. Overexpression of LKB1 in hypothalamus can attenuate inflammation, reduce food intake and weight gain, improve lipid metabolism, and decrease hepatic fat accumulation. This suggests LKB1 as a potential target for treating obesity and other inflammatory diseases.

Neuro-mesenchymal units control ILC2 and obesity via a brain-adipose circuit

Filipa Cardoso et al.

Summary: Signals from sympathetic neurons and immune cells regulate adipocytes and contribute to fat tissue biology. A neuro-mesenchymal unit via a brain-adipose circuit controls ILC2s in adipose tissue, affecting metabolism and obesity. This study identifies a complex interaction between neuronal and immune cells in the regulation of host metabolism and obesity.

S100A4 plays a key role in TRPV3 ion channel expression and its electrophysiological function

Sihao Deng et al.

Summary: TRPV3 and S100A4 are co-expressed in cells, and S100A4 can enhance the protein expression level of TRPV3 and promote the transfer of Ca2+ into cells through TRPV3 ion channel. The two proteins can bind with each other and improve the function of TRPV3 in ions' flux.

The Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 Channel and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Kenichi Goto et al.

Summary: Vascular endothelial cells regulate arterial tone through the release of nitric oxide and other diffusible factors, while myoendothelial gap junctions facilitate endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization for vasodilation. Increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration in endothelial cells is essential for the production of factors and generation of hyperpolarization, with TRPV4 ion channel playing a critical role. Dysregulation of endothelial TRPV4 channels is linked to endothelial dysfunction associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors, indicating potential for novel therapeutic strategies in CVD prevention.
