Abstract Background Incomplete radiofrequency ablation (iRFA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often leads to local recurrence and distant metastasis of the residual tumor. This is closely linked development a tumor immunosuppressive environment (TIME). In this study, underlying mechanisms potential therapeutic targets involved formation TIME tumors following iRFA were explored. Then, TAK-981-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel was constructed, its effects on investigated. Results study reveals that upregulation small ubiquitin-like modifier 2 ( Sumo2 ) activated SUMOylation intricately tied immunosuppression post-iRFA. Both knockdown inhibiting with TAK-981 activate IFN-1 signaling HCC cells, thereby promoting dendritic cell maturation. Herein, we propose an injectable PDLLA-PEG-PDLLA (PLEL) which incorporates self-assembled BSA nanoparticles for complementary localized treatment after iRFA. The sustained release from curbs expansion notably stimulates cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated antitumor immune response while maintaining biosafety. Furthermore, resulted widespread elevation PD-L1 levels. Combining blockade therapy synergistically eradicates suppresses tumors. Conclusions These findings underscore TAK-981-based strategy as effective enhance RFA HCC. Graphic

Abstract RNA‐modifying proteins, classified as “writers,” “erasers,” and “readers,” dynamically modulate RNA by adding, removing, or interpreting chemical groups, thereby influencing stability, functionality, interactions. To date, over 170 distinct modifications more than 100 enzymes have been identified, with ongoing research expanding these numbers. Although significant progress has made in understanding modification, the regulatory mechanisms that govern proteins themselves remain insufficiently explored. Post‐translational (PTMs) such phosphorylation, ubiquitination, acetylation are crucial modulating function behavior of proteins. However, full extent PTM influence on their role disease development remains to be fully elucidated. This review addresses gaps offering a comprehensive analysis roles PTMs play regulating Mechanistic insights provided into how alter biological processes, contribute cellular function, drive progression. In addition, current landscape is examined, highlighting therapeutic potential targeting for precision medicine.

Among other stressors, hypoxia driving force for breast (BC) progression general hallmark solid tumors. Thus, intratumoral an important determinant invasion, metastasis, treatment failure, prognosis, patient mortality. Acquisition epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype also consequence tumor hypoxia. The cellular response mainly regulated signaling pathway, governed hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), HIF1α. HIFs are family transcription (TFs), which induce expression target genes involved in cell survival proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, angiogenesis, resisting apoptosis, metastasis. HIF1α cooperates with large number TFs. In this review, we focused on crosstalk cooperation between TFs BC. We identified cluster TFs, proposed as HIF1α-TF interactome, orchestrates hypoxia, due their post-translational modifications (PTMs), including phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, ubiquitination/deubiquitination, SUMOylation, hydroxylation, acetylation, S-nitrosylation, palmitoylation.

Epigenetics encompasses heritable and stable changes in gene expression caused by external chromosomal modifications, without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Epigenetic established during early development maintained through successive cell divisions, play a critical role regulating expression. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are key aspect of epigenetics essential for modulating protein functionality, as well regulatory cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, metabolic pathways, tumorigenic events. Among these, small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMOylation) system is reversible PTM mechanism that alters target interaction surfaces covalent binding to lysine residues, thereby influencing structure function. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) highly aggressive malignancy characterized clonal expansion primitive hematopoietic stem cells lineage bone marrow. Despite recent advancements therapeutic strategies an improved understanding leukemogenic patient outcomes remain poor, particularly elderly populations.

Furthermore, myeloid‐specific knockout inhibited formation AngII‐ CaCl 2 ‐induced mouse models. deficiency repressed lesion macrophage infiltration response. Mechanistic studies identified Cystathionine Gamma–Lyase (CTH), critical enzyme hydrogen sulfide production, as target mediated exacerbating effects on ferroptosis programs macrophages. SUMO‐3 modification at Lysine 361 promoted CTH stability, whereas de‐SUMOylation facilitated its proteasome‐dependent degradation. Most importantly, it inhibitor counteracted protective effect Additionally, supplementation with ATB346, novel H S‐donating naproxen derivative, prevented mice. These suggest SENP3‐mediated deSUMOylation regulates development. The SENP3/CTH axis therefore an important therapeutic for aneurysmal diseases.
