Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) expression is normally strictly controlled; however, its intracellular levels increase considerably following nerve damage. GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH1) plays a crucial role in regulating BH4 concentration, with an upregulation observed in the dorsal root ganglion in cases of neuropathic pain. In this study, we aimed to develop and evaluate the clinical potential of an RNA interference-based adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting GCH1 across various species to decrease BH4 levels and, consequently, alleviate neuropathic pain symptoms.

species are known for their mycoparasitic activity against phytopathogenic fungi that cause significant economic losses in agriculture. During mycoparasitism, spp. recognize molecules produced by the host fungus and release secondary metabolites and hydrolytic enzymes to kill and degrade the host's cell wall.

Recent evidence shows that small RNAs are transferred from a species to another through cross-species transmission and exhibit biological activities in the receptor. In this study, we focused on tomato-derived sRNAs play a role of defense against . Bioinformatics method was firstly employed to identify tomato-encoded sRNAs as the cross-species antifungal factors targeting genes.

In higher plants, small RNA (sRNA)-mediated RNA interfering (RNAi) is involved in a broad range of biological processes. Growing evidence supports the model that sRNAs are mobile signaling agents that move intercellularly, systemically and cross-species. Recently, considerable progress has been made in terms of characterization of the mobile sRNAs population and their function.

Various species of small RNAs (sRNAs), notably microRNAs and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), have been characterized as the major effectors of RNA interference in plants. Growing evidence supports a model in which sRNAs move, intercellularly, systemically, and between cross-species. These non-coding sRNAs can traffic cell-to-cell through plasmodesmata (PD), in a symplasmic manner, as well as from source to sink tissues, the phloem, to trigger gene silencing in their target cells.
