Open AccessKetogenic diet-produced β-hydroxybutyric acid accumulates brain GABA and increases GABA/glutamate ratio to inhibit epilepsy
Ketogenic diet (KD) alleviates refractory epilepsy and reduces seizures in children. However, the metabolic/cell biologic mechanisms by which the KD exerts its antiepileptic efficacy remain elusive. Herein, we...

Open AccessShort-chain fatty acids in diseases
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main metabolites produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fibre in the gastrointestinal tract. The absorption of SCFAs is mediated by substrate transporters, such a...

Open AccessSPOP inhibits BRAF-dependent tumorigenesis through promoting non-degradative ubiquitination of BRAF
The gene encoding the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate-binding adapter Speckle-type BTB/POZ protein (SPOP) is frequently mutated in prostate cancer (PCa) and endometrial cancer (EC); however, the molecular mechanism...

SPOP mutations promote p62/SQSTM1-dependent autophagy and Nrf2 activation in prostate cancer
p62/SQSTM1 is a selective autophagy receptor that drives ubiquitinated cargos towards autophagic degradation. This receptor is also a stress-induced scaffold protein that helps cells to cope with oxidative str...

DCAF12 promotes apoptosis and inhibits NF-κB activation by acting as an endogenous antagonist of IAPs
Members of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) family are essential for cell survival and appear to neutralize the cell death machinery by binding pro-apoptotic caspases. dcaf12 was recently identified as an...

Open AccessRare and misincorporated DNA N6-methyladenine is a hallmark of cytotoxic stresses for selectively stimulating the stemness and proliferation of glioblastoma cells
The entity of DNA N6-methyladenine (6mA) in mammals remains elusive and subsequently its roles in diseases are poorly understood. Here we exploited a bacterial DNA contamination-free and ultrasensitive UHPLC-MS/M...
