The Role of Mitochondrial NADPH-Dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase in Cancer Cells by Katarína Smolková, Petr Ježek

“…Arg172 mutants of human IDH2—frequently found with similar mutants of cytosolic IDH1 in grade 2 and 3 gliomas, secondary glioblastomas, and acute myeloid leukemia—catalyze reductive carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate and reduction to D-2-hydroxyglutarate, which strengthens the neoplastic phenotype by competitive inhibition of histone demethylation and 5-methylcytosine hydroxylation, leading to genome-wide histone and DNA methylation alternations. …”

Ligament-Derived Stem Cells: Identification, Characterisation, and Therapeutic Application by Katie Joanna Lee, Peter David Clegg, Eithne Josephine Comerford, Elizabeth Gail Canty-Laird

“…The stem cell niche has been shown to be vital for stem cell survival and function in a number of different physiological systems; therefore, the LDSC niche may have an impact on LDSC phenotype. The role of the LDSC niche on LDSC viability and function will be discussed as well as the therapeutic potential of LDSC niche modulation.…”

The Role of Immunoglobulin Superfamily Cell Adhesion Molecules in Cancer Metastasis by Chee Wai Wong, Danielle E. Dye, Deirdre R. Coombe

“…Adhesion molecules belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (Ig-SF) commonly play a central role in cell-cell adhesion, and a number of these molecules have been associated with cancer progression and a metastatic phenotype. Surprisingly, the contribution of Ig-SF members to metastasis has not received the attention afforded other cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) such as the integrins. …”

ABIN1 Inhibits Inflammation through Necroptosis-Dependent Pathway in Ulcerative Colitis by Jing Bao, Bin Ye, Yuhan Ren

“…Blocking RIPK1 by Nec-1s in vivo and in vitro dramatically alleviated the colitis and cell death which shares the same phenotype with ABIN1 overexpression. Conclusion. Hence, the dysregulation of ABIN1 may relate to the uncontrolled necroptosis and inflammation in UC, and negatively regulate the occurrence and process of ulcerative colitis. …”
