elav, a gene necessary for neuronal differentiation and maintenance in Drosophila, encodes the prototype of a family of conserved proteins involved in post-transcriptional regulation. We identified found in neurons (fne), a gene encoding a new ELAV paralogue. We showed that FNE binds RNA in vitro. fne transcripts are present throughout development and contain long untranslated regions. Transcripts and proteins are restricted to neurons of the CNS and PNS during embryogenesis. These features are reminiscent of elav. However, fne expression is delayed compared to elav's, and FNE protein appears cytoplasmic, while ELAV is nuclear. GAL4-directed overexpression of fne in neurons leads to a reduction of stable transcripts produced from both the fne and elav endogenous loci, suggesting that fne autoregulates and also regulates elav.

Background: Post-mortem neuropathological examinations following the first active immunotherapy strategy (AN-1792, Elan Pharmaceuticals, 2000) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have evidenced amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque clearance and increased microglial phagocytic activity in immunised individuals. This study characterises the epigenetic profiles of individuals who underwent Aβ immunotherapy with the aim of discovering novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
Method: DNA and RNA was isolated from post-mortem prefrontal cortex tissue of immunised cases (n = 14) who received varying doses (ug) and number of doses during the trial period.

Metabolic reprogramming fuels cancer cell metastasis and remodels the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). We report here that circPETH, a circular RNA (circRNA) transported via extracellular vesicles (EVs) from tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, facilitates glycolysis and metastasis in recipient HCC cells. Mechanistically, circPETH-147aa, encoded by circPETH in an m6A-driven manner, promotes PKM2-catalyzed ALDOA-S36 phosphorylation via the MEG pocket.

The cytosolic nucleic acid sensors RIG-I and cGAS induce type-I interferon (IFN)-mediated immune responses to RNA and DNA viruses, respectively. So far no connection between the two cytosolic pathways upstream of IKK-like kinase activation has been investigated. Here, we identify heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M (hnRNPM) as a positive regulator of IRF3 phosphorylation and type-I IFN induction downstream of both cGAS and RIG-I.

HuD plays a critical role in neurite outgrowth, neuronal plasticity, and survival. However, HuD autoantibodies from patients with paraneoplastic gut dysmotility can trigger the apoptotic cascade in human neuroblastoma cell line and myenteric neurons. The mechanism by which HuD regulates the apoptotic pathway is unclear.

Objectives: To investigate the role of the long non-coding RNA VCAN antisense RNA 1 (VCAN-AS1) in gastric cancer (GC) progression and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms, focusing on its interaction with ELAV-like RNA-binding protein 1 (ELAVL1, known as HuR) and its effect on F11 receptor (F11R) expression.
Methods: VCAN-AS1 expression levels in GC tissues and cell lines were measured using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In vitro and in vivo experiments, including cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay.
