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...

Acetylation-dependent regulation of PD-L1 nuclear translocation dictates the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy
Immunotherapies that target programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 as well as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) have shown impressive clinical outcomes for multiple tumou...

E3 ubiquitin ligases in cancer and implications for therapies
E3 ligases are a class of enzymes that can transfer ubiquitin to substrates for their degradation, which are of importance in cellular homeostasis. Since many oncogenic or tumor-suppressive proteins are report...

ERK inhibition sensitizes cancer cells to oleanolic acid-induced apoptosis through ERK/Nrf2/ROS pathway
Oleanolic acid (OA) is a natural triterpenoid that is widely distributed in edible and medicinal plants. OA exerts anti-tumor activity on a wide range of cancer cells primarily through inducing apoptosis. Dysr...

MAPK/ERK signaling pathway-induced hyper-O-GlcNAcylation enhances cancer malignancy
Dysregulated MAPK/ERK signaling is implicated in one-third of human tumors and represents an attractive target for the development of anticancer drugs. Similarly, elevated protein O-GlcNAcylation and O-GlcNAc...

p38 MAPK-dependent Nrf2 induction enhances the resistance of glioma cells against TMZ
Temozolomide (TMZ) is an effective agent for clinical glioma treatment, but the innate and acquired resistance of glioma always limits its application. Although some advances have been achieved to elucidate th...

Oncolytic adenovirus co-expressing miRNA-34a and IL-24 induces superior antitumor activity in experimental tumor model
It has been demonstrated that numerous microRNAs (miRNAs) have potent tumor-suppressing effects on a variety of cancers, implicating a possible application of miRNA in tumor therapy. Oncolytic adenovirus is a ...
