The circ_0074371/miR-4738-3p/AMPK Signaling Axis Induces M1 Macrophage Polarization and Restricts Intracellular Survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Junai Zhang, Chen-Ye Lian, Yuan-Bin Lu, Shu-Ying Yao, Huan Xu, Yao Xu, Gan-Bing Liu, Guo-Si Chen, Yue-Feng Cen, Yuanting Li, XU Zhuo-lin, Yi-Dan Huang, Guo-Ying Chen, Jia-Jun Wang, Jia-Hua Shi, , Xu Junfa

This study identifies circ_0074371 as a tuberculosis-associated circRNA that regulates AMPK activity and influences macrophage polarization via the miR-4738-3p/AMPK signaling axis, reducing Mtb intracellular survival.

Circadian temperature compensation is intrinsically linked with metabolism and redox signaling

Yao Xu, Tetsuya Mori, Himanshu Mehra, Alessandro Ustione, Kenya Tanaka, Yuta Kitaguchi, Koichiro Uriu, Shuji Nakanishi, David W. Piston, David J. Vinyard, Carl Hirschie Johnson

This study identifies a link between circadian temperature compensation and metabolic redox signaling, showing that metabolic sensing modulates the core circadian mechanism to maintain period stability across temperatures.
