Open AccessMannose antagonizes GSDME-mediated pyroptosis through AMPK activated by metabolite GlcNAc-6P
Pyroptosis is a type of regulated cell death executed by gasdermin family members. However, how gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis is negatively regulated remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that mannose, a hexos...

Open AccessRab31 promotes metastasis and cisplatin resistance in stomach adenocarcinoma through Twist1-mediated EMT
Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death globally. Metastasis and drug resistance are two major causes of failures in current chemotherapy. Here, we found that the exp...

Open AccessThe metabolite α-KG induces GSDMC-dependent pyroptosis through death receptor 6-activated caspase-8
Pyroptosis is a form of regulated cell death mediated by gasdermin family members, among which the function of GSDMC has not been clearly described. Herein, we demonstrate that the metabolite α-ketoglutarate (...

Open AccessArgonaute 2 is a key regulator of maternal mRNA degradation in mouse early embryos
In mammalian early embryos, the transition from maternal to embryonic control of gene expression requires timely degradation of a subset of maternal mRNAs (MRD). Recently, zygotic genome activation (ZGA)-depen...

Impeding the interaction between Nur77 and p38 reduces LPS-induced inflammation
The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 blocks inflammation through inhibition of p65 DNA binding and is suppressed by p38α-mediated phosphorylation. A small-molecule compound, PDNPA, disrupts p38α-Nur77 interaction...

Orphan nuclear receptor TR3 acts in autophagic cell death via mitochondrial signaling pathway
TR3 is an orphan nuclear receptor with roles in apoptosis. A TR3-binding compound induces mitochondrial translocation of TR3 and autophagy via the Nix–Toms–ANT1/VDAC1 pathway, providing a mechanism for cell de...

The orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 regulates LKB1 localization and activates AMPK
A small molecule that disrupts interaction between Nur77 and LKB1 leads to LKB1 exit from the nucleus to activate cytoplasmic AMPK and, ultimately, reduces blood glucose and insulin in diabetic mice. ...
