Metastasis-suppressor KiSS-1 (KiSS-1; or Kisspeptin-1) is one of several endogenous ligands for the orphan G-protein coupled receptor GPR54. KiSS-1 functions as a suppressor of metastasis in various types of cancers, by inhibiting migration and proliferation in affected cells. This effect may be produced by the activation of multiple signaling pathways: Ligand-bound GPR54 activates IP3 and PKC signaling via a PLC pathway; and ERK 1 and ERK 2 by a cPLA2, which may lead to increased calcium signaling and gene transcription, respectively. More recently, however, KiSS-1/GPR54 signaling has been implicated in puberty and development. KiSS-1/GPR54 may regulate signaling of GnRH neurons during puberty and may influence the release of FH and LSH hormones. KISS-1 is highly expressed in the CNS, testis, pancreas, intestine, ovary, and placenta.

Chronic inflammation is a key player in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) progression. Necroptosis, an inflammatory cell death pathway, is elevated in MAFLD patients and mouse models, yet its role is unclear due to the diverse mouse models and
The process of aging is the result of progressive loss of homeostasis and functional body impairment, including the central nervous system, where the hypothalamus plays a key role in regulating aging mechanisms. The consequences of aging include a chronic proinflammatory
A variety of data suggest that estrogen action on kisspeptin (Kiss1)-containing arcuate nucleus neurons (which coexpress Kiss1, neurokinin B (the product of Tac2) and dynorphin (KNDy) neurons restrains reproductive onset and function, but roles for estrogen action in these Kiss1
Only a small proportion of patients with cancer show lasting responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-based monotherapies. The RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 is an emerging determinant of resistance to ICB therapy and prevents ICB responsiveness by repressing immunogenic double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs)
Polycystic ovary syndrome often starts in puberty, and its pathogenesis is not clear. This study aimed to explore the pathogenesis of pubertal polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and assess the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture on pubertal PCOS. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) was used
