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.

Epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulation during oncogenic -herpesvirus infection.

Oncogenic gamma herpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpesvirus (KSHV), are opportunistic cancer-causing viruses and induces oncogenesis through complex mechanisms, which involves manipulation of cellular physiology as well as epigenetic and epitranscriptomic reprogramming. In this review, we describe the intricate processes by which these viruses interact with the epigenetic machinery, leading to alterations in DNA methylation, histone modifications, and the involvement of non-coding RNAs. The key viral proteins such as EBNA1 and LMP1 encoded by EBV; LANA and vGPCR encoded by KSHV; play pivotal roles in these modifications by interacting with host factors, and dysregulating signaling pathways.

The interplay between RNA m6A modification and radiation biology of cancerous and non-cancerous tissues: a narrative review.

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.

Fine-tuning of gene expression through the Mettl3-Mettl14-Dnmt1 axis controls ESC differentiation.

The marking of DNA, histones, and RNA is central to gene expression regulation in development and disease. Recent evidence links N6-methyladenosine (mA), installed on RNA by the METTL3-METTL14 methyltransferase complex, to histone modifications, but the link between mA and DNA methylation remains scarcely explored. This study shows that METTL3-METTL14 recruits the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 to chromatin for gene-body methylation.

Using Zebrafish Models to Study Epitranscriptomic Regulation of CNS Functions.

Suzhou Municipal Key Laboratory of Neurobiology and Cell Signaling, School of Science, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, China.

Epitranscriptomic regulation of cell functions involves multiple post-transcriptional chemical modifications of coding and non-coding RNA that are increasingly recognized in studying human brain disorders. Although rodent models are presently widely used in neuroepitranscriptomic research, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a useful and promising alternative model species. Mounting evidence supports the importance of RNA modifications in zebrafish CNS function, providing additional insights into epitranscriptomic mechanisms underlying a wide range of brain disorders.
