From the relationship between the molar ratio of nucleosides calculated stoichiometrically from modified nucleoside occurrences in major RNA species and the proportion of rRNA to all of RNA contents in average tissues, the increase of rRNA contents in cancer tissues growing rapidly was found. Thus, we found that selected urinary modified nucleoside levels were very useful as a biological marker of cancer and AIDS, as well as a good indicator of whole-body metabolic conditions of RNAs.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is an endogenous gasotransmitter with cardioprotective and antiviral effects. In this work, new cysteine-selective nucleoside-HS-donor hybrid molecules were prepared by conjugating nucleoside biomolecules with a thiol-activatable dithioacetyl group. 5'-Dithioacetate derivatives were synthesized from the canonical nucleosides (uridine, adenosine, cytidine, guanosine and thymidine), and the putative 5'-thio metabolites were also produced from uridine and adenosine.

Background: In recent years, the emphasis has shifted to understanding the role of N1-methyladenosine (m1A) in tumor progression as little is known about its regulatory effect on mRNA and its role in the metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: We performed methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing of tumor tissues and tumor-adjacent normal tissues from three patients with CRC to determine the m1A profile of mRNA in CRC. The expression of diaphanous-related formin 3 (DIAPH3) and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics of CRC were evaluated using immunohistochemistry and online datasets.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer therapy, but many patients fail to respond or develop resistance, often due to reduced T cell activity. Costimulation via 4-1BB has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the effector function of antigen-primed T cells. Bispecific T cell-engaging (TCE) antibodies are an effective way to provide tumor-specific T cell receptor-mediated signaling to tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

The diverse radiation types in medical treatments and the natural environment elicit complex biological effects on both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. Radiation therapy (RT) induces oncological responses, from molecular to phenotypic alterations, while simultaneously exerting toxic effects on healthy tissue. N-methyladenosine (mA), a prevalent modification on coding and non-coding RNAs, is a key epigenetic mark established by a set of evolutionarily conserved enzymes.

RNA undergoes oxidatively induced damage in living organisms analogous to DNA. RNA is even more vulnerable to damage than DNA due to its greater abundance, single-strandedness, lack of repair and chromatin proteins shield, and instability, among other effects. RNA damage can adversely affect gene expression, leading to protein synthesis alterations, cell death, and other detrimental biological consequences.
