NEDD4L–PRMT5 Axis in Colorectal Cancer Metastasis
2026-08-28
The reference study identifies NEDD4L as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that suppresses colorectal cancer liver metastasis by targeting PRMT5 for degradation. Its in vivo screening strategy connects a defined ubiquitin-regulatory event to reduced AKT1 arginine methylation, AKT/mTOR signaling, tumor-cell proliferation, and metastatic colonization.

Pentoxifylline Downregulates ICAM-1 in Monocytes
2026-08-27
The reference study established that Pentoxifylline suppresses ICAM-1 expression in human monocytes after oral exposure and during direct cell treatment, with reductions detectable at both protein and mRNA levels. Its TNF-α add-back and neutralization experiments linked this effect to secondary suppression of TNF-α signaling, providing a mechanistic basis for studying this phosphodiesterase inhibitor as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent.
