Inhibition of AHCY impedes proliferation and differentiation of mouse and human adipocyte progenitor cells. Adipocyte 2024; 13:2290218.

Abstract
S-adenosyl-homocysteine-hydrolase (AHCY) plays an important role in the methionine cycle regulating cellular methylation levels. AHCY has been reported to influence proliferation and differentiation processes in different cell types, e.g. in cancer cells and mouse embryonic stem cells. In the development of adipose tissue, both the proliferation and differentiation of adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) are important processes, which in the context of obesity are often dysregulated. To assess whether AHCY might also be involved in cell proliferation and differentiation of APCs, we investigated the effect of reduced AHCY activity on human and mouse APCs in vitro. We show that the inhibition of AHCY using adenosine dialdehyde (AdOx) and the knockdown of AHCY using gene-specific siRNAs reduced APC proliferation and number. Inhibition of AHCY further reduced APC differentiation into mature adipocytes and the expression of adipogenic differentiation markers. Global DNA methylation profiling in human APCs revealed that inhibition of AHCY is associated with alterations in CpG methylation levels of genes involved in fat cell differentiation and pathways related to cellular growth. Our findings suggest that AHCY is necessary for the maintenance of APC proliferation and differentiation and inhibition of AHCY alters DNA methylation processes leading to a dysregulation of the expression of genes involved in the regulation of these processes.

Abstract
The major limitation of conventional chemotherapy drugs is their lack of specificity for cancer cells. As a selective apoptosis-inducing agent, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has emerged as an attractive alternative. However, most of the cancer cells are found to be either intrinsically resistant to the TRAIL protein or may develop resistance after multiple treatments, and TRAIL resistance can induce epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) at a later stage, promoting cancer invasion and migration. Interestingly, E-cadherin loss has been linked to TRAIL resistance and initiation of EMT, making E-cadherin re-expression a potential target to overcome these obstacles. Recent research suggests that re-expressing E-cadherin may reduce TRAIL resistance by enhancing TRAIL-induced apoptosis and preventing EMT by modulating EMT signalling factors. This reversal of EMT, can also aid in improving TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Therefore, this review provides remarkable insights into the mechanisms underlying E-cadherin re-expression, clinical implications, and potentiation, as well as the research gaps of E-cadherin re-expression in the current cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), the smallest signaling molecule known, can be excessively produced by overexpressed inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and eventually leads to multiple inflammatory related diseases. Thus, reducing the overexpression of NO represents as very potential anti-inflammatory strategy. In current study, a series of compounds were designed and synthesized based on the hybridization of 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and cinnamamide fragments in order to develop novel NO production inhibitors. Among them, compound S2h displayed a vigorous inhibitory activity on NO production with an IC50 value of 3.21 ± 0.67 µM, which was much lower than that of the positive control Nω-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA, IC50 = 28.36 ± 3.13 µM). Due to its obeying Lipinski's and Veber's rules that guarantee compounds with good oral bioavailability, S2h effectively suppressed the paw swelling in carrageenan-induced mice. Additionally, compound S2h formed clear interactions with iNOS protein according to the docking analysis. Therefore, compounds S2h is a promising lead compound for further development of potent iNOS inhibitors or anti-inflammatory agents.

Abstract
Mammalian STE20-like (MST) kinases 1-4 play key roles in regulating the Hippo and autophagy pathways, and their dysregulation has been implicated in cancer development. In contrast to the well-studied MST1/2, the roles of MST3/4 are less clear, in part due to the lack of potent and selective inhibitors. Here, we re-evaluated literature compounds, and used structure-guided design to optimize the p21-activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor G-5555 (8) to selectively target MST3/4. These efforts resulted in the development of MR24 (24) and MR30 (27) with good kinome-wide selectivity and high cellular potency. The distinct cellular functions of closely related MST kinases can now be elucidated with subfamily-selective chemical tool compounds using a combination of the MST1/2 inhibitor PF-06447475 (2) and the two MST3/4 inhibitors developed. We found that MST3/4-selective inhibition caused a cell-cycle arrest in the G1 phase, whereas MST1/2 inhibition resulted in accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase.

Abstract
Cytosine methylation of genomic DNA contributes to the regulation of gene expression and is involved in normal development including hematopoiesis in mammals. It is catalyzed by the family of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) that include DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B. Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) represent a diverse group of aggressive mature T-cell malignancies accounting for approximately 10-15% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases in the US. PTCLs exhibit a broad spectrum of clinical, histological, and immunophenotypic features with poor prognosis and inadequately understood molecular pathobiology. To better understand the molecular landscape and identify candidate genes involved in disease maintenance, we used high-resolution Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS) and RNA-seq to profile DNA methylation and gene expression of PTCLs and normal T-cells. We found that the methylation patterns in PTCLs are deregulated and heterogeneous but share 767 hypo- and 567 hypermethylated differentially methylated regions (DMRs) along with 231 genes up- and 91 genes downregulated in all samples suggesting a potential association with tumor development. We further identified 39 hypomethylated promoters associated with increased gene expression in the majority of PTCLs. This putative oncogenic signature included the TRIP13 (thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13) gene whose both genetic and pharmacologic inactivation, inhibited cellular growth of PTCL cell lines by inducing G2-M arrest accompanied by apoptosis suggesting that such an approach might be beneficial in human lymphoma treatment. Altogether we show that human PTCLs are characterized by a large number of recurrent methylation alterations, and demonstrated that TRIP13 is critical for PTCL maintenance in vitro .

Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1 or KDM1A ) has emerged as a critical mediator of tumor progression in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Among mCRPC subtypes, neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an exceptionally aggressive variant driven by lineage plasticity, an adaptive resistance mechanism to androgen receptor axis-targeted therapies. Our study shows that LSD1 expression is elevated in NEPC and associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Using genetic approaches, we validated the on-target effects of LSD1 inhibition across various models. We investigated the therapeutic potential of bomedemstat, an orally bioavailable, irreversible LSD1 inhibitor with low nanomolar potency. Our findings demonstrate potent antitumor activity against CRPC models, including tumor regressions in NEPC patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, our study uncovers that LSD1 inhibition suppresses the neuronal transcriptional program by downregulating ASCL1 through disrupting LSD1:INSM1 interactions and de-repressing YAP1 silencing. Our data support the clinical development of LSD1 inhibitors for treating CRPC - especially the aggressive NE phenotype. Statement of Significance Neuroendocrine prostate cancer presents a clinical challenge due to the lack of effective treatments. Our research demonstrates that bomedemstat, a potent and selective LSD1 inhibitor, effectively combats neuroendocrine prostate cancer by downregulating the ASCL1- dependent NE transcriptional program and re-expressing YAP1.

Abstract
MST1, MST2, MST3, MST4, and YSK1 are conserved members of the mammalian sterile 20-like serine/threonine (MST) family that regulate cellular functions such as proliferation and migration. The MST3 isozyme plays a role in regulating cell growth and apoptosis, and its dysregulation has been linked to high-grade tumors. To date, there are no isoform-selective inhibitors that could be used for validating the role of MST3 in tumorigenesis. We designed a series of 3-aminopyrazole-based macrocycles based on the structure of a promiscuous inhibitor. By varying the moieties targeting the solvent-exposed region and optimizing the linker, macrocycle JA310 (21c) was synthesized. JA310 exhibited high cellular potency for MST3 (EC50 = 106 nM) and excellent kinome-wide selectivity. The crystal structure of the MST3-JA310 complex provided intriguing insights into the binding mode, which is associated with large-scale structural rearrangements. In summary, JA310 demonstrates the utility of macrocyclization for the design of highly selective inhibitors and presents the first chemical probe for MST3.

Abstract
As highly conserved among diverse species, Hippo signaling pathway regulates various biological processes, including development, cell proliferation, stem cell function, tissue regeneration, homeostasis, and organ size. Studies in the last two decades have provided a good framework for how these fundamental functions of Hippo signaling are tightly regulated by a network with numerous intracellular and extracellular factors. The Hippo signaling pathway, when dysregulated, may lead to a wide variety of diseases, especially cancer. There is growing evidence demonstrating that dysregulated Hippo signaling is closely associated with tumorigenesis, cancer cell invasion, and migration, as well as drug resistance. Therefore, the Hippo pathway is considered an appealing therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. Promising novel agents targeting the Hippo signaling pathway for cancers have recently emerged. These novel agents have shown antitumor activity in multiple cancer models and demonstrated therapeutic potential for cancer treatment. However, the detailed molecular basis of the Hippo signaling-driven tumor biology remains undefined. Our review summarizes current advances in understanding the mechanisms by which Hippo signaling drives tumorigenesis and confers drug resistance. We also propose strategies for future preclinical and clinical development to target this pathway.

Preksha Dhyana meditation has been observed to seemingly affect the cognitive performance, transcriptome, and methylome of healthy and novice participant practitioners. In this study, we performed correlation analyses to investigate the presence of any relationships in the changes in cognitive performance and DNA methylation in a group of college students practicing Preksha Dhyāna (N = 34). Nine factors of cognitive performance were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks postintervention timepoints in the participants. Statistically significant improvements were observed in six of the nine assessments, which were predominantly relating to memory and affect. Using Illumina 850 K microarray technology, 470 differentially methylated sites (DMS) were identified between the two timepoints (baseline and 8 weeks), using a threshold of p-value < 0.05 and methylation levels beyond -3% to 3% at every site. Correlation analysis between the changes in performance on each of the nine assessments and every DMS unveiled statistically significant positive and negative relationships at several of these sites. The identified DMS were in proximity of essential genes involved in signaling and other important metabolic processes. Interestingly, we identified a set of sites that can be considered as biomarkers for Preksha meditation improvements at the genome level.

Abstract
Mammalian sterile 20-like (Ste20-like) protein kinase 3 (MST3) or serine/threonine-protein kinase 24 (STK24) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that belongs to the mammalian STE20-like protein kinase family. MST3 is a pleiotropic protein that plays a critical role in regulating a variety of events, including apoptosis, immune response, metabolism, hypertension, tumor progression, and development of the central nervous system. The MST3-mediated regulation is intricately related to protein activity, post-translational modification, and subcellular location. Here, we review the recent progress on the regulatory mechanisms against MST3 and its-mediated control of disease progression.

Abstract
We have previously reported that TAZ functions as a tumor suppressor in multiple myeloma. MST1 is a serine-threonine kinase upstream of the Hippo-signaling pathway that functions as a tumor suppressor in many non-haematological malignancies. However, its role in hematological malignancies, including MM is still poorly understood. In this paper, we provide evidence that MST1 expression is higher in MM, and negatively correlates with TAZ expression in both cell lines and patient samples. High MST1 expression was associated with poor clinical outcomes. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of MST1 leads to increased TAZ expression and cell death. Importantly, MST1 inhibitors sensitizes myeloma cells to frontline antimyeloma agent-lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Taken together, our data reveals a key role for MST1 in MM pathogenesis and provide evidence to explore the therapeutic potential of using MST inhibitors to upregulate TAZ expression in MM to promote response to anticancer agents.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and metabolic disorders are major components of noncommunicable diseases, causing an enormous health and economic burden worldwide. There are common risk factors and developmental mechanisms among them, indicating the far-reaching significance in exploring the corresponding therapeutic targets. MST1/2 kinases are well-established proapoptotic effectors that also bidirectionally regulate autophagic activity. Recent studies have demonstrated that MST1/2 influence the outcome of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases by regulating immune inflammation. In addition, drug development against them is in full swing. In this review, we mainly describe the roles and mechanisms of MST1/2 in apoptosis and autophagy in cardiovascular and metabolic events as well as emphasis on the existing evidence for their involvement in immune inflammation. Moreover, we summarize the latest progress of pharmacotherapy targeting MST1/2 and propose a new mode of drug combination therapy, which may be beneficial to seek more effective strategies to prevent and treat CVDs and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
The Hippo signaling pathway inhibits the activity of the oncogenic YAP (Yes-associated protein)/TAZ (transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif)-TEAD (TEA/ATTS domain) transcriptional complex. In cancers, inactivating mutations in upstream Hippo components and/or enhanced activity of YAP/TAZ and TEAD have been observed. The activity of this transcriptional complex can be effectively inhibited by targeting the TEAD family of transcription factors. The development of TEAD inhibitors has been driven by the discovery that TEAD has druggable hydrophobic pockets, and is currently at the clinical development stage. Three small molecule TEAD inhibitors are currently being tested in Phase I clinical trials. In this review, we highlight the role of TEADs in cancer, discuss various avenues through which TEAD activity can be inhibited, and outline the opportunities for the administration of TEAD inhibitors.

Abstract
Background: Patients with Varicose veins (VV) show no obvious symptoms in the early stages, and it is a common and frequent clinical condition. DNA methylation plays a key role in VV by regulating gene expression. However, the molecular mechanism underlying methylation regulation in VV remains unclear. Methods: The mRNA and methylation data of VV and normal samples were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Methylation-Regulated Genes (MRGs) between VV and normal samples were crossed with VV-associated genes (VVGs) obtained by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to obtain VV-associated MRGs (VV-MRGs). Their ability to predict disease was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Biomarkers were then screened using a random forest model (RF), support vector machine model (SVM), and generalized linear model (GLM). Next, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore the functions of biomarkers. Furthermore, we also predicted their drug targets, and constructed a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) network and a drug target network. Finally, we verified their mRNA expression using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: Total three VV-MRGs, namely Wnt1-inducible signaling pathway protein 2 (WISP2), Cysteine-rich intestinal protein 1 (CRIP1), and Odd-skipped related 1 (OSR1) were identified by VVGs and MRGs overlapping. The area under the curves (AUCs) of the ROC curves for these three VV-MRGs were greater than 0.8. RF was confirmed as the optimal diagnostic model, and WISP2, CRIP1, and OSR1 were regarded as biomarkers. GSEA showed that WISP2, CRIP1, and OSR1 were associated with oxidative phosphorylation, extracellular matrix (ECM), and respiratory system functions. Furthermore, we found that lncRNA MIR17HG can regulate OSR1 by binding to hsa-miR-21-5p and that PAX2 might treat VV by targeting OSR1. Finally, qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA expression of the three genes was consistent with the results of the datasets. Conclusion: This study identified WISP2, CRIP1, and OSR1 as biomarkers of VV through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis, and preliminary explored the DNA methylation-related molecular mechanism in VV, which might be important for VV diagnosis and exploration of potential molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
As an evolutionarily conserved signalling network, the Hippo pathway plays a crucial role in the regulation of numerous biological processes. Thus, substantial efforts have been made to understand the upstream signals that influence the activity of the Hippo pathway, as well as its physiological functions, such as cell proliferation and differentiation, organ growth, embryogenesis, and tissue regeneration/wound healing. However, dysregulation of the Hippo pathway can cause a variety of diseases, including cancer, eye diseases, cardiac diseases, pulmonary diseases, renal diseases, hepatic diseases, and immune dysfunction. Therefore, therapeutic strategies that target dysregulated Hippo components might be promising approaches for the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases. Here, we review the key components and upstream signals of the Hippo pathway, as well as the critical physiological functions controlled by the Hippo pathway. Additionally, diseases associated with alterations in the Hippo pathway and potential therapies targeting Hippo components will be discussed.
