N-methyladenosine (mA) is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotic RNAs. Although the important roles of mA in RNA fate have been revealed, the potential contribution of mA to RNA function in various diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is still unclear. In this study, we identified a novel mA-modified RNA AC026356.1. We found that AC026356.1 was increased in HCC tissues and cell lines. High expression of AC026356.1 was correlated with poor survival of HCC patients. mA modification level of AC026356.1 was also increased in HCC and more significantly correlated with poor survival of HCC patients. Functional assays showed that mA-modified AC026356.1 promoted HCC cellular proliferation, migration, and liver metastasis. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that AC026356.1 activated IL11/STAT3 signaling. Mechanistic investigation showed that mA-modified AC026356.1 bound to IGF2BP1. The interaction between mA-modified AC026356.1 and IGF2BP1 promoted the binding of IL11 mRNA to IGF2BP1, leading to increased IL11 mRNA stability and IL11 secretion. Functional rescue assays showed that depletion of IL11 reversed the oncogenic roles of AC026356.1. These findings revealed the potential influences of mA modification on RNA biological functions and suggested that targeting mA modification may be a novel strategy for HCC treatment.

Synchronous Interference of Dual Metabolic Pathways Mediated by HS Gas/GOx for Augmenting Tumor Microwave Thermal Therapy.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Sublethal tumor cells have an urgent need for energy, making it common for them to switch metabolic phenotypes between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for compensatory energy supply; thus, the synchronous interference of dual metabolic pathways for limiting energy level is essential in inhibiting sublethal tumor growth. Herein, a multifunctional nanoplatform of Co-MOF-loaded anethole trithione (ADT) and myristyl alcohol (MA), modified with GOx and hyaluronic acid (HA) was developed, namely, CAMGH. It could synchronously interfere with dual metabolic pathways including glycolysis and OXPHOS to restrict the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) supply, achieving the inhibition to sublethal tumors after microwave (MW) thermal therapy.

Diabetic wound healing is a complex process. Owing to the lack of effective wound dressings, diabetic wound healing is often delayed. Here, injectable composite hydrogels with methacrylic anhydride (MA)-modified Konjac glucomannan and Zn-induced glycyrrhizic acid self-assembly were developed for skin wound healing in diabetic mice.

This research verified the in vitro digestive properties of potato starch modified with citric acid (CA), malic acid (MA), and tartaric acid (TA), and evaluated its prebiotic potential. The resistant starch (RS) content in CA- or MA-modified starch was greater than that in native starch. Furthermore, after cooking, all modified starches exhibited an increase in RS content by 2.

In Situ Remodeling of Efferocytosis via Lesion-Localized Microspheres to Reverse Cartilage Senescence.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

May 2024

Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100730, P. R. China.

Efferocytosis, an intrinsic regulatory mechanism to eliminate apoptotic cells, will be suppressed due to the delayed apoptosis process in aging-related diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, cartilage lesion-localized hydrogel microspheres are developed to remodel the in situ efferocytosis to reverse cartilage senescence and recruit endogenous stem cells to accelerate cartilage repair. Specifically, aldehyde- and methacrylic anhydride (MA)-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogel microspheres (AHM), loaded with pro-apoptotic liposomes (liposomes encapsulating ABT263, A-Lipo) and PDGF-BB, namely A-Lipo/PAHM, are prepared by microfluidic and photo-cross-linking techniques.
