Aggarwal A et. al. (August 2023). Disruption of histone acetylation homeostasis triggers cognitive dysfunction in experimental diabetes Neurochem Int. :105592.
The study investigates the impact of disrupted histone acetylation on cognitive dysfunction in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic mice. The research shows that diabetic mice exhibited cognitive impairment and reduced histone acetylation marks in the brain, possibly due to increased histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. Inhibiting HDAC activity improved cognitive function and related molecular markers, offering potential insights for therapeutic development in diabetes-associated cognitive complications.

Li W et. al. (August 2023). HISTONE DEACETYLASE 6 interaction with ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE 5 decreases apple drought tolerance Plant Physiol.
This article explores the role of histone deacetylase 6 (MdHDA6) in regulating apple drought tolerance. The study reveals that MdHDA6 negatively impacts drought tolerance by facilitating histone deacetylation on drought-responsive genes, leading to gene repression. Furthermore, MdHDA6 forms a complex with the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling transcription factor MdABI5, which further contributes to gene repression and reduced drought tolerance in apple plants.

Yan L et. al. (August 2023). Loss of SETD2-mediated downregulation of intracellular and exosomal miRNA-10b determines MAPK pathway activation and multidrug resistance in renal cancer Mol Carcinog.
The article investigates the impact of SETD2 loss on microRNA-10b (miR-10b) expression and its contribution to MAPK pathway activation and multidrug resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The research demonstrates that SETD2 loss leads to reduced levels of intracellular and exosomal miR-10b, promoting MAP4K4-related oncogenesis, and establishes a pathway involving SETD2/H3K36me3/miR-10b/MAPKs/JNK/MDR that drives ccRCC progression.

Wu L et. al. (September 2023). RNA N6‑methyladenosine methyltransferase WTAP promotes the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells Exp Ther Med. 26(3):420.
The study investigates the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and its regulator, WTAP, in the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Using various assays, the research shows that m6A levels increase during EPC differentiation and that overexpression of WTAP enhances EPC proliferation, invasion, and tube formation, while WTAP knockdown has the opposite effect, indicating WTAP's role as a promoter of EPC differentiation.

Bedard B et. al. (August 2023). Variation in habitat use and its consequences for mercury exposure in two Eastern Ontario bat species, Myotis lucifugus and Eptesicus fuscus Ecotoxicology.
The article investigates mercury exposure pathways for two bat species in Eastern Ontario, Canada. The study examines the relationship between mercury concentrations in bat fur and their diet, finding that while big brown bats have higher mercury levels than little brown bats, this difference isn't due to diet variation but rather other factors, and concludes that the elevated mercury in bats isn't related to local contamination or genotoxicity.

Fang L et. al. (August 2023). m5C-methylated lncRNA NR_033928 promotes gastric cancer proliferation by stabilizing GLS mRNA to promote glutamine metabolism reprogramming Cell Death Dis. 14(8):520.
The article investigates the role of m5C-methylated lncRNA NR_033928 in gastric cancer (GC) progression. The study reveals that NR_033928, methylated by RNA cytosine-C(5)-methyltransferase (NSUN2), enhances glutamine metabolism by stabilizing GLS mRNA through interactions with IGF2BP3/HUR complex, ultimately promoting GC proliferation, and suggests NR_033928 as a potential prognostic and therapeutic target for GC.

Osada N et. al. (August 2023). c-FOS is an integral component of the IKZF1 transactivator complex and mediates lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma Clin Transl Med. 13(8):e1364.
The article explores the mechanism behind lenalidomide resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) and identifies c-FOS as an essential component of the IKZF1 transactivator complex responsible for switching IKZF1 from a transcriptional repressor to an activator in MM cells. Through genome-wide binding analysis, the study shows that c-FOS and IKZF1 co-occupy regulatory regions of key genes in MM cells, and targeting c-FOS enhances the efficacy of lenalidomide, suggesting c-FOS as a potential therapeutic target to overcome lenalidomide resistance in MM.

Chen B et. al. (July 2023). Molecular Mechanism of m6A Methylation Modification Genes METTL3 and FTO in Regulating Heat Stress in Sheep Int J Mol Sci. 24(15)
This study investigates the effects of heat stress on primary hepatocytes and preadipocytes from Hu sheep, revealing increased expression of heat stress proteins and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification genes. The study suggests that heat stress induces changes in gene expression and pathways related to fatty acid metabolism, PI3K-Akt, and MAPK signaling, with METTL3 potentially inhibiting fat deposition and HSP gene expression, while FTO operates in the opposite manner, providing insights for sheep management during heat stress.

The study explores the role of ALKBH5 and m6A RNA modification in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC). The study reveals that ALKBH5, an m6A demethylase, regulates cell proliferation in HPSCC by targeting Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) through an m6A-dependent mechanism involving the m6A readers IGF2BP2 and YTHDF1, shedding light on the potential clinical implications of ALKBH5 in HPSCC treatment.
