Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL) encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase and signaling adaptor that regulates receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases. Recurrent CBL mutations occur in myeloid neoplasms, including 10% to 20% of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) cases, and selectively disrupt the protein's E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. CBL mutations have been associated with poor prognosis, but the oncogenic mechanisms and therapeutic implications of CBL mutations remain incompletely understood. We combined functional assays and global mass spectrometry to define the phosphoproteome, CBL interactome, and mechanism of signaling activation in a panel of cell lines expressing an allelic series of CBL mutations. Our analyses revealed that increased LYN activation and interaction with mutant CBL are key drivers of enhanced CBL phosphorylation, phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1) recruitment, and downstream phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling in CBL-mutant cells. Signaling adaptor domains of CBL, including the tyrosine kinase-binding domain, proline-rich region, and C-terminal phosphotyrosine sites, were all required for the oncogenic function of CBL mutants. Genetic ablation or dasatinib-mediated inhibition of LYN reduced CBL phosphorylation, CBL-PIK3R1 interaction, and PI3K/AKT signaling. Furthermore, we demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antiproliferative efficacy of dasatinib in CBL-mutant cell lines and primary CMML. Overall, these mechanistic insights into the molecular function of CBL mutations provide rationale to explore the therapeutic potential of LYN inhibition in CBL-mutant myeloid malignancies.The biodiversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied in the Montalcino area (Italy). Two wineries were involved in the study, which compared the genotypic and oenological characteristics of the S. cerevisiae strains isolated in spontaneous fermentations. After isolation yeasts were identified by 26S rRNA gene sequence analysis, and S. cerevisiae strains were characterized through interdelta sequence analysis (ISA). Oenological tests were performed in synthetic grape must by varying the magnitude of the main wine-imiting factors. The evolution of alcoholic fermentation was monitored by measuring sugar consumption and flow cytometry. The results revealed the prevalence of S. cerevisiae from the third day of fermentation and the presence of a wide range of S. cerevisiae strains having ISA profiles characteristic of each winery. From an oenological point of view, the features of such strains, in terms of resistance to wine-limiting factors, seemed to be linked to the main oenological variables applied in the production process of each winery. Extreme fermentation temperatures and copper residues are the variables that mostly depress the yeast population, in terms of fermentation rate and cell viability. Flow cytometry revealed the different impact of limiting factors on the viability of yeast by the quantification of the ratio between live/dead yeast cells of each strain, suggesting different mechanisms of inhibition, for instance stuck of cell growth or cell killing, in response to the different stress factors.Acute pulmonary embolism generally resolves within 6 months. However, if the thrombus is infected, venous thrombi transform into fibrotic vascular obstructions leading to chronic deep vein thrombosis and/or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but precise mechanisms remain unclear. Neutrophils are crucial in sequestering pathogens; therefore, we investigated the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in chronic thrombosis. Because chronic pulmonary thrombotic obstructions are biologically identical to chronic deep venous thrombi, the murine inferior vena cava ligation model was used to study the transformation of acute to chronic thrombus. Mice with staphylococcal infection presented with larger thrombi containing more neutrophils and NETs but less resolution. Targeting NETs with DNase1 diminished fibrosis and promoted thrombus resolution. For translational studies in humans, we focused on patients with CTEPH, a severe type of deep venous and pulmonary artery fibrotic obstruction after thrombosis.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/AZD2281(Olaparib).html  Neutrophils, markers of neutrophil activation, and NET formation were increased in CTEPH patients. NETs promoted the differentiation of monocytes to activated fibroblasts with the same cellular phenotype as fibroblasts from CTEPH vascular occlusions. RNA sequencing of fibroblasts isolated from thrombo-endarterectomy specimens and pulmonary artery biopsies revealed transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) as the central regulator, a phenotype which was replicated in mice with fibroblast-specific TGF-β overactivity. Our findings uncover a role of neutrophil-mediated inflammation to enhance TGF-β signaling, which leads to fibrotic thrombus remodeling. Targeting thrombus NETs with DNases may serve as a new therapeutic concept to treat thrombosis and prevent its sequelae.Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, contributes to high morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Regular exercise is necessary to avoid the initiation and progression of sarcopenia, in which the underlying molecular mechanism is still not clear. Our data revealed that outcomes induced by sarcopenia including muscle mass and strength loss, the cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius fibre decrease, chronic inflammation and dysfunctional mitochondria increase were reversed by regulation exercise. Knockout or silencing of Sestrin2 (Sesn2) resulted in imbalanced mitochondrial fusion and fission, mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy damage in vivo and in vitro, which was attenuated by aerobic exercise or overexpression Sesn2. Moreover, we found that the effects of Sesn2 on mitochondrial function are dependent on AMP-activated protein kinase α2 (AMPKα2). This study indicates that aerobic exercise alleviates the negative effects resulting from sarcopenia via the Sesn2/AMPKα2 pathway and provides new insights into the molecular mechanism by which the Sesn2/AMPKα2 signalling axis mediates the beneficial impact of exercise on sarcopenia.
