Abstract Pathogens or danger signals trigger the immune response. Moderate response activation removes pathogens and avoids excessive inflammation tissue damage. Histone demethylases (KDMs) regulate gene expression play essential roles in numerous physiological processes by removing methyl groups from lysine residues on target proteins. Abnormal of KDMs is closely associated with pathogenesis various inflammatory diseases such as liver fibrosis, lung injury, autoimmune diseases. Despite becoming exciting targets for diagnosing treating these diseases, role enzymes regulation still unclear. Here, we review underlying mechanisms through which immune-related pathways responses.

Abstract Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a prevalent toxin causing severe liver damage through hepatocellular oxidative stress. However, the underlying mechanisms and effective therapeutic approaches remain unknown. Here, unique role of xenobiotic metabolism factor pregnane X receptor (PXR) in mediating DON‐induced stress investigated. Treatment with PXR agonist 3‐indole‐propionic acid (IPA) alleviates injury both vitro vivo. Mechanistically, it discovered for first time that IPA directly transactivates m 6 A demethylase FTO expression, leading to site‐specific demethylation decreased abundance YTHDC1‐bound Malat1 lncRNA at single‐nucleotide resolution. The diminished modification reduces its stability augments antioxidant pathways governed by NRF2, consequently mitigating injury. Furthermore, knockout mice exhibit injury, emphasizing Collectively, findings establish PXR‐mediated A‐dependent expression determines hepatocyte via FTO, providing valuable insights into potential offers strategies treatment.

Abstract Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. This study elucidated biological function lysine acetyltransferase 5 (KAT5) cardiomyocyte pyroptosis during MIRI. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation and left anterior descending coronary artery ligation were used to establish MIRI models. Here we show, KAT5 STIP1 homology U-box-containing protein 1 (STUB1) downregulated, while large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2) was upregulated KAT5/STUB1 overexpression or LATS2 silencing repressed pyroptosis. Mechanistically, promoted STUB1 transcription via acetylation modulation, subsequently caused ubiquitination degradation LATS2, which activated YAP/β-catenin pathway.
