Open AccessCaspase cleavage of RIPK3 after Asp333 is dispensable for mouse embryogenesis
The proteolytic activity of caspase-8 suppresses lethal RIPK1-, RIPK3- and MLKL-dependent necroptosis during mouse embryogenesis. Caspase-8 is reported to cleave RIPK3 in addition to the RIPK3-interacting kina...

Blockade of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis triggers autophagic degradation of oncoprotein FLT3-ITD in acute myeloid leukemia
The internal tandem duplication of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3-ITD) is one of the most frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Limited and transient clinical benefit of FLT3 kina...

NRF2 has a splicing regulatory function involving the survival of motor neuron (SMN) in non-small cell lung cancer
The nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NFE2L2; NRF2) signaling pathway is frequently deregulated in human cancers. The critical functions of NRF2, other than its transcriptional activation, in cancers remain l...

Open AccessThe sodium channel subunit SCNN1B suppresses colorectal cancer via suppression of active c-Raf and MAPK signaling cascade
The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising worldwide. Here, we identified SCNN1B as an outlier down-regulated in CRC and it functions as a tumor suppressor. SCNN1B mRNA and protein expression were down...
