Abstract Circular RNA (circRNA) is a type of non-coding that widely expressed in mammals. It highly conserved and abundantly the brain. Here, we report regulatory role circRNA derived from pantothenate kinase 1 (Pank1) gene (circ-Pank1) Parkinson’s disease (PD). Circ-Pank1 substantia nigra (SN) PD model mice treated with rotenone MN9D cell dopaminergic neurons. The circ-Pank1 knockdown ameliorated neuron damage locomotor dysfunction after treatment rotenone. We found could adsorb miR-7a-5p...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent a promising treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due to their capacity abundant lymphocyte infiltration. However, some patients with HCC respond poorly ICI therapy the presence of various immunosuppressive factors in tumor microenvironment. Our research reveals that macrophage-coated cluster (MCTC) signifies unique spatial structural organization correlating diminished recurrence-free survival and overall total 572 cases from 3 internal...

Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the primary treatment modality for advanced HCC, yet its efficacy assessment and prognosis prediction largely depend on imaging serological markers that possess inherent limitations in terms of real-time capability, sensitivity, specificity. Here, we explored whether multiple features cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA), including copy number, mutations, fragmentomics, could be used to predict response patients with HCC undergoing TACE...

ABSTRACT Not all ovarian cancer patients with homologous recombination deficiency, especially those germline BRCA mutations, can benefit from platinum‐based and targeted therapy. Our study aimed to determine the value of nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay, which these mutations. The retrospective analysis 797 was performed using two public cohorts one in‐house cohort. We developed a prediction algorithm for decay discriminate between trigger escape status, finding that status indicated better...

Antioxidant response transcription factor nuclear erythroid-2-related 2 (Nrf2/Nfe2l2) is a neuroprotective agent in learning and memory impairment. This study provides new perspective to explore the regulatory mechanisms of Nrf2. Here, we found that Nrf2 regulated circular RNA circ-Vps41 increase hippocampal synaptic plasticity; bound Vps41 promoter activate gene promote expression circ-Vps41; positively correlated with Nrf2, plasticity, but negatively reactive oxygen species; promoted...

Background/Aims: The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway plays a protective role in both acute neuronal damage and chronic neurodegeneration-related oxidative stress. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved with various diseases the central nervous system (CNS). This study aimed to identify key circRNAs Nrf2-neuroprotection against Methods: differentially expressed (DEcircRNAs) substantia nigra corpus striatum between Nrf2 (-/-) (+/+) mice...

Nrf2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2) is believed to play a major role in neurodegenerative diseases. The present study attempts investigate the hippocampal circRNA and lncRNA expression profiles associated with Nrf2-mediated neuroprotection. mRNA, of (-/-) mice were determined by microarray analysis. Bioinformatics analyses, including identification differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), circRNAs (DEcircRNAs) lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), DEcircRNA-miRNA-DEmRNA interaction network...

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m 6 A) is abundant in the mammalian brain and considered to have a wide range of effects on learning memory. Here, we found that upregulated methyltransferase-like protein 16 (METTL16) hippocampal tissues Morris water maze (MWM)-trained mice contributed improved memory formation synaptic plasticity. Mechanismly, METTL16 promoted expression methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) by m A methylation MAT2A mRNA-3′UTR-end increase its stability, this involved...
