New polymethylene derivatives of nucleic bases containing a beta-dioxo function at the omega-position were synthesized by alkylation of uracil, thymine, and cytosine with 1-(7-chloroheptanoyl)cyclohexan-2-one, and their physicochemical properties were studied. The English version of the paper: Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2004, vol. 30, no. 5; see also http: // www.maik.ru.

Telomeres are hypersensitive to the formation of the common oxidative lesion 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG), which impacts telomere stability and function. OGG1 and MUTYH glycosylases initiate base excision repair (BER) to remove 8oxoG or prevent mutation. Here, we show OGG1 loss or inhibition, or MUTYH loss, partially rescues telomeric 8oxoG-induced premature senescence and associated proinflammatory responses, while loss of both glycosylases causes a near complete rescue in human fibroblasts.

This paper is focused on the origins of the contemporary genetic code. A novel explanation is proposed for how the mapping of nucleotides in DNA to amino acids in proteins arose that derives from repeat nucleotide sequences able to form alternative nucleic acid structures (ANS), such as the unusual left-handed Z-DNA, triplex, G-quadruplex and I-motif conformations. The scheme identifies sequence-specific contacts that map ANS repeats to dipeptide polymers (DPS).

As a widely epigenetic modification, mA (N-methyladenosine, mA) can regulate the degradation, translation, and other biological functions of circRNAs through dynamic reversible processes. It plays an important role in regulating the life activities of biological organisms, particularly in cell differentiation, apoptosis, embryonic development, stress response, and innate immunity. In this study, bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR identification, FISH subcellular localization, and ceRNA network construction were performed on mA modified circRNAs regulating the apoptosis of secondary hair follicle cells of Inner Mongolia Albas white cashmere goats based on the skin mA sequencing data of secondary hair follicles in anagen and catagen.

Liquid biopsy is gaining importance in oncology in the age of precision medicine. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), among other tumor-derived indicators, are isolated and analysed from bodily fluids. EVs are secreted by both healthy and cancerous cells and are lipid bilayer-enclosed particles that are diverse in size and molecular makeup.

Current treatments for hepatitis B virus (HBV), such as interferons and nucleic acid analogs, have limitations due to side effects like depression and the development of drug-resistant mutants, highlighting the need for new therapeutic approaches. In this study, we identified microRNA-3145 (miR-3145) as a host-derived miRNA with antiviral activity that is upregulated in primary hepatocytes during HBV infection. The expression of its precursor, pri-miR-3145, increased in response to the the virus infection, and miR-3145 downregulated the hepatitis B virus S (HBS) antigen and hepatitis B virus X (HBX), thereby inhibiting viral replication.
