Serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC) is a gynecological malignancy with high mortality rates. Currently, there is a lack of reliable biomarkers for accurate SOC patient prognosis. Here, we analyzed SOC RNA-Seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to identify prognostic biomarkers. Through the pearson correlation analysis, univariate Cox regression analysis, and LASSO-penalized Cox regression analysis, we identified nine lncRNAs significantly associated with four types of RNA modification writers (mA, mA, APA, and A-I) and with the prognosis of SOC patients (0.05). Six writer-related lncRNAs were ultimately selected following multivariate Cox analysis. We established a risk prediction model based on these six lncRNAs and evaluated its prognostic value in multiple groups (training set, testing set, and entire set). Our risk prediction model could effectively predict the prognosis of SOC patients with different clinical characteristics and their responses to immunotherapy. Lastly, we validated the predictive reliability and sensitivity of the lncRNA-based model a nomogram. This study explored the association between RNA modification writer-related lncRNAs and SOC prognosis, providing a potential complement for the clinical management of SOC patients.

The diverse radiation types in medical treatments and the natural environment elicit complex biological effects on both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. Radiation therapy (RT) induces oncological responses, from molecular to phenotypic alterations, while simultaneously exerting toxic effects on healthy tissue. N-methyladenosine (mA), a prevalent modification on coding and non-coding RNAs, is a key epigenetic mark established by a set of evolutionarily conserved enzymes.

Cryo-EM structure of human TUT1:U6 snRNA complex.

U6 snRNA (small nuclear ribonucleic acid) is a ribozyme that catalyzes pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing and undergoes epitranscriptomic modifications. After transcription, the 3'-end of U6 snRNA is oligo-uridylylated by the multi-domain terminal uridylyltransferase (TUTase), TUT1. The 3'- oligo-uridylylated tail of U6 snRNA is crucial for U4/U6 di-snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein) formation and pre-mRNA splicing.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the relationship between m6A demethylase ALKBH5 and long noncoding RNA TUG1 (TUG1), as well as their effects on proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in gastric cancer (GC) cells.

Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized to analyze the relative expression levels of ALKBH5, TUG1, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). Survival analyses of TUG1, ALKBH5, and VEGFA were performed using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and Kaplan-Meier databases.

Background: Sterofundin (SF) is one of the most widely used electrolyte solutions in almost all areas of medicine, with particular importance in intensive care. It provides powerful correction of acid-base imbalances, ion fluctuations, and impaired energy metabolism, which are the three most important characteristics after myocardial infarction (MI). However, whether and how SF protects the heart from post-MI damage are largely unknown.

CRISPR-Cas12a is widely used for genome editing and biomarker detection since it can create targeted double-stranded DNA breaks and promote non-specific DNA cleavage after identifying specific DNA. To mitigate the off-target DNA cleavage of Cas12a, we previously developed a Cas12a variant (FnoCas12a ) by introducing double proline substitutions (K969P/D970P) in a conserved helix called the bridge helix (BH). In this work, we used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) to understand the molecular mechanisms of BH- mediated activation of Cas12a.
