A-to-I RNA co-editing predicts clinical outcomes and is associated with immune cells infiltration in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Aberrant RNA editing has emerged as a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the impact of RNA co-editing within HCC remains underexplored. We used a multi-step algorithm to construct an RNA co-editing network in HCC, and found that HCC-related RNA editings are predominantly centralized within the network. Furthermore, five pairs of risk RNA co-editing events were significantly correlated with the overall survival in HCC.

Solubilization of luteolin in PVP40 solid dispersion improves inflammation-induced insulin resistance in mice.

Our previous studies have confirmed that luteolin (LU) has a good therapeutic effect on obesity and its complications. However, due to its poor water solubility, the bioavailability is low with limited clinical application. Therefore, the water-soluble solid dispersions (SD) of luteolin were prepared with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (K10, K40 & K90) by solvent evaporation.

Global RNA editing identification and characterization during human pluripotent-to-cardiomyocyte differentiation.

RNA editing is widely involved in stem cell differentiation and development; however, RNA editing events during human cardiomyocyte differentiation have not yet been characterized and elucidated. Here, we identified genome-wide RNA editing sites and systemically characterized their genomic distribution during four stages of human cardiomyocyte differentiation. It was found that the expression level of ADAR1 affected the global number of adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) editing sites but not the editing degree.
