Background: Methylation is one of the common forms of RNA modification, which mainly include N6-methyladenosine (m6A), C5-methylcytidine (m5C), and N1-methyladenosine (m1A). Numerous studies have shown that RNA methylation is associated with tumor development. We aim to construct prognostic models of gastric cancer based on RNA methylation regulators.
Methods: The transcriptome and clinical data of gastric cancer and normal samples were obtained from the National Cancer Institute Genome Data Commons (NCI-GDC). Use Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to construct risk models for different types of RNA methylation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the predictive efficiency of risk characteristics. Cluster heat maps are used to assess the correlation with clinical information. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to analyze prognostic effects of risk scores. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analyzes the functional enrichment of RNA methylation genes. And make a separate analysis of the data of Asians.
Results: The expression of most of the 30 RNA methylation regulators were significantly different in cancer and paracancerous tissues (P<0.05). Three methylated genes (, , and ) were screened from m6A by LASSO Cox regression analysis. Five methylated genes (, , , , and ) were selected from the population, and were used to construct two risk ratio models. Survival analysis showed that the survival rate of patients in the low-risk group was significantly higher than that in the high-risk group (P<0.05). All ROC curves indicated that the predictive efficiency of risk characteristics was good [area under the ROC curve (AUC): 0.6-1].Cluster analysis reveals differences in clinical data between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression results show that the risk score has independent prognostic value. GSEA showed that pathways such as cell cycle were significantly enriched in the low-risk group, while pathways such as calcium signaling pathway were significantly enriched in the high-risk group. In addition, three methylation models that can predict the prognosis of Asian gastric cancer patients were obtained.
Conclusions: The methylation prognosis model constructed in this study can effectively predict the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

The methylation- demethylation dynamics of RNA plays major roles in different biological functions, including stress responses, in plants. mA methylation in RNA is orchestrated by a coordinated function of methyl transferases (writers) and demethylases (Erasers). Genome-wide analysis of genes involved in methylation and demethylation was performed in pigeon pea.

Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is a common malignancy with high heterogeneity and a lack of highly precise treatment options. We downloaded the multiomics data of STAD patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-STAD cohort, which included mRNA, microRNA, long non-coding RNA, somatic mutation, and DNA methylation data, from the sxdyc website. We synthesized the multiomics data of patients with STAD using 10 clustering methods, construct a consensus machine learning-driven signature (CMLS)-related prognostic models by combining 10 machine learning methods, and evaluated the prognosis models using the C-index.

The capacity of mature adipocytes to de-differentiate into fibroblast-like cells has been demonstrated in vitro and a few, rather specific in vivo conditions. A detailed comparison between de-differentiated fat (DFAT) cells and adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs) from different adipose depots is yet to be conducted. Moreover, whether de-differentiation of mature adipocytes from classical subcutaneous and visceral depots occurs under physiological conditions remains unknown.

Heat stress negatively affects pig production by disrupting the immune homeostasis of Sertoli cells (SCs), which compromises sperm quality, culminating in male infertility. Herein, we aimed to study the mechanism by which the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by heat stress through N6-methyladenosine (mA) modification regulation in SCs. Initially, it was found that heat stress (44°C, 30 min) markedly activated ERK1/2 signaling, which subsequently promoted NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inflammatory cytokine release from SCs.

The personal identification of monozygotic (MZ) twins is of great importance in forensic medicine. Due to the extreme similarity in genetic between MZ twins, it is challenging to differentiate them using autosomal STR genotyping. Forensic experts are striving to explore available genetic markers that can differentiate between MZ twins.
