A positive feedback loop involving nuclear factor IB and calpain 1 suppresses glioblastoma cell migration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
transcript variants. Here, we uncovered an NFIB-calpain 1-positive feedback loop mediated through CAST and calcineurin. In NFI-hyperphosphorylated GBM cells, NFIB expression decreased the CAST-to-calpain 1 ratio in the cytoplasm. This reduced ratio increased autolysis and activity of cytoplasmic calpain 1. Conversely, in NFI-hypophosphorylated cells, NFIB expression induced differential subcellular compartmentalization of CAST and calpain 1, with CAST localizing primarily to the cytoplasm and calpain 1 to the nucleus. Overall, this altered compartmentalization increased nuclear calpain 1 activity. We also show that nuclear calpain 1, by cleaving and activating calcineurin, induces NFIB dephosphorylation. Of note, knockdown of calpain 1, NFIB, or both increased GBM cell migration and up-regulated the pro-migratory factors fatty acid-binding protein 7 (FABP7) and Ras homolog family member A (RHOA). In summary, our findings reveal bidirectional cross-talk between NFIB and calpain 1 in GBM cells. A physiological consequence of this positive feedback loop appears to be decreased GBM cell migration.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
