- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality; however, its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic options. Protein neddylation, a key post-translational modification, has been implicated in chronic inflammatory diseases, but its role in COPD remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of protein neddylation in the pathogenesis of COPD and to explore its potential as a novel therapeutic target. - Source: PubMed

Zhong LiGu Hua - Memory CD8 T cells (TMEM) and exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX) are essential for host defense against infection and cancer, yet their therapeutic potential is often limited by insufficient persistence and sustained functional capacity. Strategies to enhance the longevity of both populations remain scarce. Here, we demonstrate that ablation of UBE2F, a neddylation E2 enzyme, induces a resilience program in CD8 T cells that operates across both TMEM and TEX compartments, resulting in improved viral and tumor control. This resilience state is characterized by enhanced self-renewal and survival without perturbing the conventional CD8 T cell differentiation trajectories. Mechanistically, UBE2F deficiency inhibited neddylation of CUL5, leading to accumulation of JUNB and upregulation of IL-2Rβ. The increased IL-2Rβ expression hypersensitizes CD8 T cells to physiological IL-15, thereby conferring the resilience features. Together, these findings identify the UBE2F-CUL5-JUNB-IL-2Rβ axis as a conserved posttranslational mechanism regulating CD8 T cell longevity across memory and exhausted states, providing a novel strategy for enhancing antiviral and antitumor immunity. - Source: PubMed

Ma XiaonanGuo HenanJia YutingYin NaPeng Min - Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms for which no effective targeted therapies currently exist. To uncover potential therapeutic targets, we performed an unbiased CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screen in immortalized mouse chromaffin cells (imCCs) with and without loss. Our screen identified genes that differentially affect cell proliferation in -deficient versus normal imCCs. Subunits of the transcriptional mediator complex emerged as potential tumor suppressors, as their loss selectively promoted growth of -deficient cells. The neddylation pathway, required for ubiquitin-mediated selective protein degradation, plays a critical role in -deficient imCC growth and survival: loss of the neddylation regulator Ube2m led to increased proliferation, while loss of Ube2f suppressed growth of -deficient imCCs. Neddylation inhibitors MLN4924 (Pevonedistat) and HA-9104 reduced UBE2F activity and selectively inhibited growth of -deficient imCCs. This unexpected result highlights the neddylation pathway as a promising druggable vulnerability to be studied in SDH-deficient PPGL. - Source: PubMed

Al Khazal Fatimah JEmch Michael JCorreia CristinaFavier JudithHawse John RMaher L James - Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome with dysregulated immune responses and multiple organ dysfunction. However, precise diagnostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic targets for this syndrome are still lacking. Protein ubiquitination modulates inflammatory regulation and immune cell function, but the specific immune cell subsets that drive ubiquitination-associated immune dysregulation in human sepsis have not been clearly identified. - Source: PubMed
