Article Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate critical cellular processes and their dysregulation contributes to multiple diseases. Although only a few lncRNAs have defined mechanisms, many of these characterized lncRNAs interact with transcription factors to regulate gene expression, suggesting a common mechanism of action. Identifying RNA-bound transcription factors is especially challenging due to inefficient RNA immunoprecipitation and low abundance of many transcription factors. Here we describe a highly sensitive, user-friendly, and inexpensive technique called RATA (RNA-associated transcription factor array), which utilizes a MS2-aptamer pulldown strategy coupled with transcription factor activation arrays for identification of transcription factors associated with a nuclear RNA of interest. RATA requires only ~5 million cells and standard molecular biology reagents for multiplexed identification of up to 96 transcription factors in 2-3 d. Thus, RATA offers significant advantages over other technologies for analysis of RNA-transcription factor interactions.

Background: Nicastrin, a subunit of the γ-secretase complex, is encoded by the NCSTN gene and regulates notch signaling, it is involved in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), Alzheimer disease (AD), and liver cancer. However, the animal models for studying HS are relatively scarce.
Methods: CRISPR/Cas-mediated genetic engineering was used to generate targeted knockout offspring mice (C57BL/6J).

Mechanical ventilation (MV) remains a cornerstone of critical care; however, its prolonged application can exacerbate lung injury, leading to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Although previous studies have implicated ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of VILI, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the roles of ferritinophagy in ferroptosis subsequent to VILI.

Objective: The Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) regulates neural stem cell behaviour during development of the cerebral cortex, yet how the loss of PRC2 developmentally influences cell identity in the mature brain is poorly defined. Using a mouse model in which the PRC2 gene Embryonic ectoderm development (Eed) was conditionally deleted from the developing mouse dorsal telencephalon, we performed single nuclei RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on the cortical plate of an adult heterozygote Eed knockout mouse and an adult homozygote Eed knockout mouse compared to a littermate control. This work was part of a larger effort to understand consequences of mutations to PRC2 within the mature brain.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related disease that is correlated with a high number of senescent chondrocytes in joint tissues. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D (HNRNPD) is an RNA-binding protein whose expression imbalance is associated with cell senescence, but the role of HNRNPD in the occurrence and development of OA has not been reported. In this study, HNRNPD was found to be associated with the chondrocyte senescence process.

Cisplatin (CDDP) resistance has been established to significantly impact Bladder Cancer (BCa) therapy. On the other hand, the crucial regulatory involvement of SIRT7 and EZH2 in bladder cancer development is well known. Herein, the collaborative regulatory roles and underlying mechanisms of SIRT7 and EZH2 in CDDP resistance in bladder cancer were explored.
