Ribonucleic acid export 1 (Rae1) is an important nucleoporin that participates in mRNA export during the interphase of higher eukaryotes and regulates the mitotic cell cycle. In this study, small RNA interference technology was used to knockdown Rae1, and immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, and chromosome spreading were used to study the role of Rae1 in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation. We found that Rae1 is a crucial regulator of meiotic maturation of mouse oocytes. After the resumption of meiosis (GVBD), Rae1 was concentrated on the kinetochore structure. The knockdown of Rae1 by a specific siRNA inhibited GVBD progression at 2 h, finally leading to a decreased 14 h polar body extrusion (PBE) rate. However, a comparable 14 h PBE rate was found in the control, and the Rae1 knockdown groups that had already undergone GVBD. Furthermore, we found elevated PBE after 9.5 h in the Rae1 knockdown oocytes. Further analysis revealed that Rae1 depletion significantly decreased the protein level of securin. In addition, we detected weakened kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments, misaligned chromosomes, and an increased incidence of aneuploidy in the Rae1 knockdown oocytes. Collectively, we propose that Rae1 modulates securin protein levels, which contribute to chromosome alignment, K-MT attachments, and aneuploidy in meiosis.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is closely related to abnormal RNA splicing in its pathogenesis. CDC2-like kinase-2 (CLK2) regulates RNA splicing by phosphorylating serine/arginine-rich splicing factors (SRSFs), but the role of CLK2 in MM remains undefined. This study was to explore the role and mechanism of CLK2 in MM.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore the role of RAE1 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer (GC) cells.
Materials And Methods: RAE1 expression in GC cells was determined by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB). Cell models featuring RAE1 gene silencing and overexpression were constructed by lentiviral transfection; The proliferation, migration, and invasion ability of cells were detected by cell counting, colony formation assay, would healing assay, and transwell invasion and migration test.

Article Synopsis
- Esophageal cancer (EC) is a major health issue globally, with nitrosamines being a key risk factor; understanding their mechanisms could aid in prevention and detection.
- Ribonucleic acid export 1 (RAE1) was found to be overexpressed in the early stages of nitrosamine-induced carcinogenesis and plays a crucial role in cell proliferation and cycle regulation.
- The study shows that RAE1 influences lipid metabolism by stabilizing PPARα mRNA, linking it to the progression of esophageal cancer and providing new insights into its carcinogenic mechanisms.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) arises from the malignant mucosal epithelium of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. Natural killer (NK) cells are fundamental immune cells shaping the anti-HNSCC response. Elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms of NK cell activity is crucial for understanding anti-HNSCC immunity.
