Open AccessCD56 polysialylation promotes the tumorigenesis and progression via the Hedgehog and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
CD56 has been observed in malignant tumours exhibiting neuronal or neuroendocrine differentiation, such as breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer, and neuroblastoma. Abnormal glycosylation modifications are tho...

Open Accessm6A methylation regulates hypoxia-induced pancreatic cancer glycolytic metabolism through ALKBH5-HDAC4-HIF1α positive feedback loop
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the most hypoxic cancer type among solid tumors. The dynamic changes of RNA N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) contribute to tumor cells adaption to hypoxic microenvironmental. However, the re...

Creatine kinase B suppresses ferroptosis by phosphorylating GPX4 through a moonlighting function
Activation of receptor protein kinases is prevalent in various cancers with unknown impact on ferroptosis. Here we demonstrated that AKT activated by insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor signalling phosphoryl...

Open AccessDownregulation of the Rho GTPase pathway abrogates resistance to ionizing radiation in wild-type p53 glioblastoma by suppressing DNA repair mechanisms
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common aggressive brain tumor, is characterized by rapid cellular infiltration and is routinely treated with ionizing radiation (IR), but therapeutic resistance inevitably recurs. ...

Nucleus-exported CLOCK acetylates PRPS to promote de novo nucleotide synthesis and liver tumour growth
Impairment of the circadian clock is linked to cancer development. However, whether the circadian clock is modulated by oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases remains unclear. Here we demonstrated that receptor t...

Open AccessSirtuin 4 activates autophagy and inhibits tumorigenesis by upregulating the p53 signaling pathway
The role of autophagy in cancer is context-dependent. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the regulator and underlying mechanism of autophagy. We found that a sirtuin (SIRT) family member, SIRT4, was...

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 1 functions as a protein phosphatase to dephosphorylate histone H3 and suppresses PPARα-regulated gene transcription and tumour growth
Tumour cells exhibit greater metabolic plasticity than normal cells and possess selective advantages for survival and proliferation with unclearly defined mechanisms. Here we demonstrate that glucose deprivati...
