    Abstract Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a serine-threonine kinase that phosphorylates and regulates a plethora of transcriptional regulators and chromatin modifiers. The heterogeneity of its interactome allows HIPK2 to modulate several cellular processes and signaling pathways, ultimately regulating cell fate and proliferation. Because of its p53-dependent pro-apoptotic activity and its downregulation in many tumor types, HIPK2 is traditionally considered a bone fide tumor suppressor gene. However, recent findings revealed that the role of HIPK2 in the pathogenesis of cancer is much more complex, ranging from tumor suppressive to oncogenic, strongly depending on the cellular context. Here, we review the very recent data emerged in the last years about the involvement of HIPK2 in cancer biology and therapy, highlighting the various alterations of this kinase (downregulation, upregulation, mutations and/or delocalization) in dependence on the cancer types. In addition, we discuss the recent advancement in the understanding the tumor suppressive and oncogenic functions of HIPK2, its role in establishing the response to cancer therapies, and its regulation by cancer-associated microRNAs. All these data strengthen the idea that HIPK2 is a key player in many types of cancer; therefore, it could represent an important prognostic marker, a factor to predict therapy response, and even a therapeutic target itself.

    Abstract An attempt to link phytomanagement, art and social involvement is presented. The “Remediation” Project started up from the search of sustainable solutions for the management of a riparian area in the city of Rome. With the participation of citizens, researchers carried out a preliminary survey on the presence of metals within the target ecosystem and a demonstrative experiment on phytoremediation. Several social and cultural events have been organized in connection with the scientific part of the project: a public debate, an art exposition, a performance and two workshops at the experimental field. The Project demonstrated that through art it is possible to raise curiosity on scientific issues; the participated survey on metal pollution highlighted the strict interconnection among environmental matrices (soil/water/bioma) and thus the risk of contamination transfer; the demonstrative experiment, even if very basic in order to be easily approached by citizens, showed the great potential of Nature Based Solutions.

    Abstract The Homeodomain-Interacting Protein Kinases (HIPKs) HIPK1, HIPK2 and HIPK3 are Ser/Thr kinases which interact with homeobox proteins and other transcription factors, acting as transcriptional coactivators or corepressors. HIPKs contribute to regulate several biological processes, such as signal transduction, apoptosis, embryonic development, DNA-damage response, and cellular proliferation, in response to various extracellular stimuli. Recently it has emerged that, in addition to their role in cancer, fibrosis and diabetes, HIPKs may also be involved in other human diseases, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Rett syndrome, cerebellar diseases, and retinal vascular dysfunction.
    Methods: Here, we update our previous paper concerning the regulation of HIPK proteins expression by microRNAs (miRNAs), pointing out the most recent findings about new cellular mechanisms and diseases which are affected by the interplay between HIPKs and miRNAs.
    Conclusion: Recently, it has emerged that HIPKs and their related miRNAs are involved in diabetic nephropathy, gastric cancer chemoresistance, cervical cancer progression, and recombinant protein expression in cultured cells. Interestingly, circular RNAs (circRNAs) deriving from HIPK2 and HIPK3 loci also modulate cellular proliferation and viability by sponging several miRNAs, thus emerging as new putative therapeutic targets for diabetes-associated retinal vascular dysfunction, astrogliosis and cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: The homeodomain-interacting protein kinase (HIPK) family consists of four evolutionarily conserved and highly related nuclear serine/threonine kinases of recent discovery. They interact with homeobox proteins and other transcription factors, as well as transcriptional coactivators or corepressors depending on the cellular context. HIPK proteins are sensors for various extracellular stimuli, which control key cellular functions such as signal transduction to downstream effectors that regulate apoptosis, embryonic development, DNA-damage response, and cellular proliferation. Thus, HIPKs are involved in proliferative diseases such as cancer and fibrosis. mRNA levels and protein stability tightly regulate expression levels of HIPKs.
    Methods: Here, we review recent works investigating the regulation of HIPKs expression by microRNAs (miRNAs) that are involved in the control of cell proliferation, sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
    Conclusion: It appears that HIPK family members, and their related miRNAs, may be considered as novel therapeutic targets for treating cancer, renal fibrosis and type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and often fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of Motor Neurons (MNs) in spinal cord, motor cortex and brainstem. Despite significant efforts in the field, the exact pathogenetic mechanisms underlying both familial and sporadic forms of ALS have not been fully elucidated, and the therapeutic possibilities are still very limited. Here we investigate the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration induced by chronic exposure to the environmental cyanotoxin L-BMAA, which causes a form of ALS/Parkinson's disease (PD) in several populations consuming food and/or water containing high amounts of this compound.
    Methods: In this effort, mice were chronically exposed to L-BMAA and analyzed at different time points to evaluate cellular and molecular alterations and behavioral deficits, performing MTT assay, immunoblot, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry analysis, and behavioral tests.
    Results: We found that cyanotoxin L-BMAA determines apoptotic cell death and a marked astrogliosis in spinal cord and motor cortex, and induces neurotoxicity by favoring TDP-43 cytoplasmic accumulation.
    Conclusions: Overall, our results characterize a new versatile neurotoxic animal model of ALS that may be useful for the identification of new druggable targets to develop innovative therapeutic strategies for this disease.
