RNA-Targeting CRISPR/CasRx system relieves disease symptoms in Huntington's disease models.

Mol Neurodegener

January 2025

Guangdong Key Laboratory of Non-Human Primate Research, Key Laboratory of CNS Regeneration (Ministry of Education), School of Medicine, GHM Institute of CNS Regeneration, Jinan University, Guangzhou, 510632, China.

Background: HD is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of CAG repeats in the HTT. Silencing the expression of mutated proteins is a therapeutic direction to rescue HD patients, and recent advances in gene editing technology such as CRISPR/CasRx have opened up new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Methods: The CRISPR/CasRx system was employed to target human HTT exon 1, resulting in an efficient knockdown of HTT mRNA.

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington disease, pose serious threats to human health, leading to substantial economic burdens on society and families. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms driving these diseases remain incompletely understood, impeding effective diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, growing evidence has highlighted the crucial role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative diseases.

Background And Objectives: Brain energy deficiency occurs at the early stage of Huntington disease (HD). Triheptanoin, a drug that targets the Krebs cycle, can restore a normal brain energetic profile in patients with HD. In this study, we aimed at assessing its efficacy on clinical and neuroimaging structural measures in HD.

Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a target in prostate cancer therapy and can be treated with non-steroidal anti-androgens (NSAA) including enzalutamide, and apalutamide for patients with advanced disease. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCPRC) develop resistance becomes refractory to therapy limiting patient overall survival. Darolutamide is a novel next-generation androgen receptor-signaling inhibitor that is FDA approved for non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).

QOMIC: quantum optimization for motif identification.

Bioinform Adv

December 2024

Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611, United States.

Motivation: Network motif identification (MI) problem aims to find topological patterns in biological networks. Identifying disjoint motifs is a computationally challenging problem using classical computers. Quantum computers enable solving high complexity problems which do not scale using classical computers.
