TL;DR

METTL1 aggravated myocardial injury by inhibiting PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy through the upregulation of USF2 in a m7G-dependent manner in SCM models, thereby identifying METTL1 as a potential therapeutic target for SCM.

PGAM5-mediated VDAC1 oligomerization Facilitates Ponatinib-Induced Cardiotoxicity via Disrupting the Mitophagy-Mitochondrial unfolded protein response Synergistic Defense Crosstalk.

These findings identify the PGAM5/VDAC1 axis as a key mechanism linking ponatinib stress to coordinated failure of MQC in the heart and targeting PGAM5-dependent VDAC1 oligomerization may represent a potential strategy for limiting ponatinib-associated cardiotoxicity.

METTL4 knockout alleviates sepsis-induced liver injury via inhibiting NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and ferroptosis.

The liver represents a primary target organ frequently compromised during the progression of sepsis. Ferroptosis is a distinct mode of regulated cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which has been identified as being involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced hepatic dysfunction. However, the reg...

SREBF2 promotes mitophagy and protects against ferroptosis via Cav-1-regulated PINK1/Parkin signaling in ischemic heart failure

Results demonstrate that SREBF2 mitigates MI-induced HF by activating the Cav-1/PINK1/Parkin axis to promote mitophagy and inhibit ferroptosis, and identify SREBF2 as a promising therapeutic target in heart failure.

USP14-mediated deubiquitination of KRT19 promotes pyroptosis in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury.

BACKGROUND Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains a major clinical challenge characterized by inflammation and progressive cardiomyocyte loss. Although pyroptosis is known to drive this pathogenesis, the upstream molecular switches that trigger the pyroptotic cascade remain poorly understood. Here, we in...

NRBF2 Regulates Mitophagy via Interaction With AMBRA1 to Influence Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury

Background: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical clinical challenge with substantial mortality. While mitophagy plays a pivotal role in ALI pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying the involvement of nuclear receptor binding factor 2 (NRBF2), a key regulator of autophagy, in this process remain unexplore...
