IRG1–Itaconic Acid Control of TBK1 and IFN-I
2026-08-12
Chai et al. identify an IRG1–itaconic acid metabolic feedback pathway that restrains excessive TBK1-dependent type I interferon signaling through covalent modification of TBK1 at Cys605. The study also introduces ITA-5 and ITA-9 as itaconic acid-based inhibitors with potential relevance to diseases driven by IFN-I hyperinflammation.

EDI3 in HER2-Therapy-Resistant Breast Cancer
2026-08-11
Keller et al. identify the glycerophosphodiesterase EDI3/GPCPD1 as a metabolic vulnerability in estrogen receptor-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer models with resistance to HER2-targeted therapy. By combining patient-tissue analyses, signaling experiments, genetic depletion, dipyridamole-based inhibition, and xenograft studies, the work provides a rationale for further testing EDI3-directed strategies.

QPRT Drives Breast Cancer Invasion via Myosin Light Chain
2026-08-11
The reference study identifies quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT) as a functional promoter of breast cancer migration and invasion, linking NAD+ metabolism to myosin light chain phosphorylation. Genetic perturbation and inhibitor-based pathway analysis implicate purinergic, Rho–ROCK, PLC, and MLCK signaling, while also highlighting the limits of interpreting pharmacological inhibition as definitive pathway proof.

Intravesical p21 mRNA-LNP Therapy in Bladder Cancer
2026-08-10
The reference study develops a nonviral lipid nanoparticle platform for intravesical delivery of chemically modified p21 mRNA, addressing both tumor-suppressor loss and the delivery barriers associated with systemic mRNA therapy. In bladder cancer models, localized p21 restoration inhibited tumor growth, altered cell-cycle and DNA-damage signaling, and limited systemic exposure, while also highlighting important translational questions about formulation, dosing, and model-to-human transfer.

Rapamycin, Lipophagy, and Lipotoxicity in Salmon Cells
2026-08-09
Phadwal and colleagues show that rapamycin-induced autophagy promotes lipid-droplet turnover and reduces lipotoxic features in Atlantic salmon SHK-1 cells. By combining lipidomics, proteomics, and cellular evidence, the study identifies altered unsaturated triacylglycerol storage and possible autophagic targeting of lipid-regulatory proteins, providing a useful framework for fish lipid-metabolism research.
