    Mannose 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...

    Rab31 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...

    HK1 from hepatic stellate cell–derived extracellular vesicles promotes progression of hepatocellular carcinoma

    Extracellular vesicles play crucial roles in intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment. Here we demonstrate that in hepatic fibrosis, TGF-β stimulates the palmitoylation of hexokinase 1 (HK1) i...

    The 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 (...

    Argonaute 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...
