RNA editing of two mitochondrial or organs genes, atp6 and cox2, in different tissues were analyzed using homonucleic but alloplasmic, and homoplasmic but heteronucleic maize (zea mays L.) as experimental materials. A total of 18 and 26 editing sites for atp6 conservative region transcript were identified by direct and clone sequencing, respectively. By direct sequencing 23 and 22 editing sites for cox2 transcript were identified in 48-2 and Huangzaosi nuclear backgrounds, respectively. From the direct sequencing results, the occurrence rates of different transcripts generally increase in sterile lines. It is concluded that RNA editing of atp6 and cox2 might have a certain relationship with maize CMS.

CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) have been heavily considered for gene therapy due to their high on-target efficiency, rapid activity and lack of insertional mutagenesis relative to other CRISPR-Cas9 delivery formats. Genetic diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy currently lack effective treatment strategies and are prime targets for CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. However, current in-vivo delivery strategies for Cas9 pose risks of unwanted immunogenic responses.

Prime editing (PE) is a CRISPR-based tool for genome engineering that can be applied to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based disease models. PE technology safely introduces point mutations, small insertions, and deletions (indels) into the genome. It uses a Cas9-nickase (nCas9) fused to a reverse transcriptase (RT) as an editor and a PE guide RNA (pegRNA), which introduces the desired edit with great precision without creating double-strand breaks (DSBs).

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, characterized by its poor prognosis. Glycolipid metabolism is strongly associated with GBM development and malignant behavior. However, the precise functions of snoRNAs and ADARs in glycolipid metabolism within GBM cells remain elusive.

Hepatocyte polyploidy and maturity are critical to acquiring specialized liver functions. Multiple intracellular and extracellular factors influence ploidy, but how they cooperate temporally to steer liver polyploidization and maturation or how post-transcriptional mechanisms integrate into these paradigms is unknown. Here, we identified an important regulatory hierarchy in which postnatal activation of epithelial splicing regulatory protein 2 (ESRP2) stimulates processing of liver-specific microRNA () to facilitate polyploidization, maturation, and functional competence of hepatocytes.

Purpose: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is a highly malignant gynecological tumor characterized by a high rate of chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is well-known to be closely related to the progression of various malignancies, and recent studies have indicated that this pathway may play a critical role in the progression and worsening of OCCC.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the combined effects of WX390, a dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR, and cisplatin on OCCC through both in vitro and in vivo experiments to further elucidate their therapeutic effects.
