Near-Death Cells Cause Chemotherapy-Induced Metastasis via ATF4-Mediated NF-κB Signaling Activation

Chenchen Zhu, Pei Liu, Chuan-Yuan Li, Yuli Zhang, Jiang Yin, Linlin Hou, Guopei Zheng, Xinjian Liu

Summary: Chemotherapy exacerbates tumor metastasis, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study reveals that a small fraction of cells, near-death cells (NDCs), can reverse the death process, enhance survival, and acquire enhanced tumorigenic and metastatic capabilities without losing chemosensitivity. Mechanistically, this process involves activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)-dependent nonclassical NF-kappa B signaling activation. Targeting ATF4 may improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.

TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis / nuclear factor κB axis feedback loop promotes spinal cord injury by inducing astrocyte activation

Dexiang Ban, Peng Yu, Zhenyang Xiang, Yang Liu

Summary: The TWEAK/NF-kappa B pathway plays an important role in the non-canonical signaling pathways. Inhibiting this pathway can restrain the excessive growth of astrocytes and promote the growth of neurons. These findings have important implications for the treatment of spinal cord injury.

Deubiquitylating Enzyme OTUB1 Facilitates Neuronal Survival After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Via Inhibiting NF-κB-triggered Apoptotic Cascades

Jiabing Shen, Xiaoli Xue, Huimin Yuan, Yan Song, Jinglei Wang, Ronghui Cui, Kaifu Ke

Summary: The upregulation of OTUB1 attenuates NF-kappa B signaling and neuronal death in intracerebral hemorrhage. OTUB1 directly associates with NF-kappa B precursors and inhibits their polyubiquitylation. High expression of OTUB1 inhibits hemin-induced NF-kappa B activation and improves apoptotic signaling and neuronal death.

Dual role of ERK2/NF-κB signaling in TRAIL sensitivity

Myoung Woo Lee, Dae Seong Kim, Ji Eun Eom, Ji Won Lee, Ki Woong Sung, Hong Hoe Koo, Young Bin Hong, Keon Hee Yoo

Summary: This study evaluated the role of ERK2 and NF-kappa B in TRAIL cytotoxicity during cisplatin treatment. The findings suggest that induced ERK2 activity enhances TRAIL susceptibility via DR5 expression, while basal ERK2 activity suppresses TRAIL-R expression. The ERK2/NF-kappa B signaling pathway has a dual role in TRAIL susceptibility by differentially regulating TRAIL-R expression in the same cellular system.

Fibrillar α-synuclein induces neurotoxic astrocyte activation via RIP kinase signaling and NF-κB

Tsui-Wen Chou, Nydia P. Chang, Medha Krishnagiri, Aisha P. Patel, Marissa Lindman, Juan P. Angel, Po-Lun Kung, Colm Atkins, Brian P. Daniels

Summary: This study reveals that preformed fibrils of alpha-synuclein induce pathogenic activation of human midbrain astrocytes, involving inflammatory responses, downregulation of phagocytic function, and conferral of neurotoxic activity. These effects are dependent on necroptotic kinases RIPK1 and RIPK3, but do not involve MLKL or necroptosis. The activation of astrocytes occurs through RIPK-dependent activation of NF-kappa B signaling, highlighting new roles for RIP kinase signaling in regulating glial cell biology and neuroinflammation, with implications for Parkinsonian neurodegeneration.

Involvement of Nuclear Factor-κB in Inflammation and Neuronal Plasticity Associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Sudhiranjan Gupta, Rakeshwar S. Guleria

Summary: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe psychiatric condition associated with neurological circuit impairment, dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, and inflammatory response. NF-kappa B signaling pathway plays a crucial role in inflammation, memory restoration, and stress-related behaviors, potentially serving as a therapeutic target for PTSD.

Interpersonal and PersonalityDisorders: Commentary onWright et al. (2022)

Thomas A. Widiger, Joshua D. Miller, Donald R. Lynam, Douglas B. Samuel

Summary: The article proposes replacing personality disorders with a new classification of interpersonal disorders. It suggests that the trait model effectively addresses the limitations of categorical syndromes in personality disorders and incorporates the dynamics emphasized in the interpersonal model. Weaknesses of the interpersonal model that have prevented its official adoption are identified.

NF-κB and Extrinsic Cell Death Pathways - Entwined Do-or-Die Decisions for T cells

Sam Blanchett, Ines Boal-Carvalho, Scott Layzell, Benedict Seddon

Summary: NF-k beta signaling is essential for multiple stages of T cell development and function, integrating signals from various receptors. Recent studies have revealed that survival functions previously linked to NF-k beta are actually mediated by upstream kinases, leading to a refined understanding of how NF-k beta and cell death signaling are interconnected in regulating cell fate. The cooperation between NF-k beta activation and control of cell death signaling by common upstream triggers plays a crucial role in regulating different aspects of T cell development and function.

Summary: This study analyzed lipid mediators in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with cognitive impairment and found a shift from pro-resolving to pro-inflammatory lipid mediators in the progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD). These findings suggest that these lipid mediators may serve as biomarkers for diagnosis and should be confirmed by replication studies.
