Unlabelled: Numerous studies have demonstrated the important roles of epigenetic modifications in tumorigenesis, progression and prognosis. However, in hepatocellular carcinoma, the potential link between N-methylguanosine (mG) modification and molecular heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment (TME) remains unclear.
Method: We performed a comprehensive evaluation of mG modification patterns in 816 hepatocellular carcinoma samples based on 24 mG regulatory factors, identified different mG modification patterns, and made a systematic correlation of these modification patterns with the infiltration characteristics of immunocytes. Then, we built and validated a scoring tool called mG score.
Results: In this study, we revealed the presence of three distinct mG modification patterns in liver cancer, with remarkable differences in the immunocyte infiltration characteristics of these three subtypes. The mG scoring system of this study could assess mG modification patterns in individual hepatocellular carcinoma patients, could predict TME infiltration characteristics, genetic variants and patient prognosis. We also found that the mG scoring system may be useful in guiding patients' clinical use of medications.
Conclusions: This study revealed that mG methylation modifications exerted a significant role in formation of TME in hepatocellular carcinoma. Assessing the mG modification patterns of single patients would help enhance our perception of TME infiltration characteristics and give significant insights into immunotherapy efficacy.

Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its active compounds in combating cancer, leading to an increasing utilization of TCM as adjunctive therapy in clinical oncology. However, the optimal dosage of TCM remains unclear, and excessive use may result in cardiotoxicity, which poses a significant health concern for patients undergoing systemic treatment. Therefore, elucidating the underlying mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by TCM can provide valuable insights for clinical management.

The study aimed to assess the oxidative modification behavior of bovine myofibrillar proteins (MPs) cysteines (Cys) by hydroxyl radical (·OH) through the construction of an in vitr Fenton reaction system. The ·OH generated by the Fenton reaction induced large-scale oxidative modification of Cys, and redox proteomics identified a total of 1192 differential oxidation sites (Dos), 59 Dos were located in the MPs structure. The Cys of actin (17 Dos), myosin/myomesin (16 Dos), tenascin (12 Dos) and sarcomere (10 Dos) in the MPs structure showed active oxidative modification behavior towards ·OH, especially with the "-C-X-X-X-X-W-" structure amino acid sequence showed high sensitivity.

Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was the earliest discovered m6A RNA demethylase. Previous studies have indicated that m6A modifications significantly influence the development, progression, and prognosis of various cancers. This study aimed to explore the role of FTO overexpression in colorectal cancer development, as well as its biological functions.

Background: The aim of this randomized control trial is to test the impact of providing additional training and support to volunteers who are paired with youth of color in the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) community-based mentoring program. The aim of the intervention activities is to enhance the capacity of mentors to have more culturally responsive and informed interactions with their mentees of color, thereby strengthening the youth's ethnic/racial identity and abilities to both cope with experiences of racism and contribute to causes that advance social justice.

Mitochondria, the cellular powerhouses, are pivotal to neuronal function and health, particularly through their role in regulating synaptic structure and function. Spine reprogramming, which underlies synapse development, depends heavily on mitochondrial dynamics-such as biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy as well as functions including ATP production, calcium (Ca) regulation, and retrograde signaling. Mitochondria supply the energy necessary for assisting synapse development and plasticity, while also regulating intracellular Ca homeostasis to prevent excitotoxicity and support synaptic neurotransmission.
