    Abstract In recent years, N7-methylguanosine (m7G) methylation, originally considered as messenger RNA (mRNA) 5' caps modifications, has been identified at defined internal positions within multiple types of RNAs, including transfer RNAs, ribosomal RNAs, miRNA, and mRNAs. Scientists have put substantial efforts to discover m7G methyltransferases and methylated sites in RNAs to unveil the essential roles of m7G modifications in the regulation of gene expression and determine the association of m7G dysregulation in various diseases, including neurological disorders. Here, we review recent findings regarding the distribution, abundance, biogenesis, modifiers, and functions of m7G modifications. We also provide an up-to-date summary of m7G detection and profile mapping techniques, databases for validated and predicted m7G RNA sites, and web servers for m7G methylation prediction. Furthermore, we discuss the pathological roles of METTL1/WDR-driven m7G methylation in neurological disorders. Last, we outline a roadmap for future directions and trends of m7G modification research, particularly in the central nervous system.

    Abstract Biofouling limits applications of membrane technology in wastewater treatment, but dosing additives to membrane tanks is an effective method to alleviate biofouling. In this study, biochar derived from corncob and pyrolyzed at 300, 500, and 700°C was dosed to determine the underlying anti-biofouling mechanism. The effects of the biochar on the membrane properties and foulant behavior were systematically investigated. The results showed that biochar delayed the occurrence of the fouling transition (0.5-3.0 h), and decreased the flux decline rate, thus achieving a higher water flux (3.1-3.7 times of the control group). Biochar altered membrane surface properties, and increased the membrane surface charge, roughness, and hydrophilicity, which all contributed to higher membrane permeability. Moreover, adding biochar reduced the number of foulants in the fouling layer, particularly protein substances. The flux model fit and the XDLVO theory further revealed the mitigating effect of biochar on membrane biofouling. At the initial intermediate-blocking stage, the effect of biochar on membrane fouling was determined by its properties, and adsorption capacity to the foulants, BC500 presented the best mitigation performance. At the later cake-filtration stage, the role of biochar in membrane fouling was strongly associated with protein content in the fouling layer, and the minimum rate of flux decline occurred in BC300. This study promotes the understanding and development of biochar to alleviate membrane biofouling.

    Abstract Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a common urinary system malignancy with a significant morbidity and death rate worldwide. Non-muscle invasive BLCA accounts for over 75% of all BLCA cases. The imbalance of tumor metabolic pathways is associated with tumor formation and proliferation. Pyrimidine metabolism (PyM) is a complex enzyme network that incorporates nucleoside salvage,
    Methods: Predictive PyMGs were quantified in BLCA samples from the TCGA and GEO datasets. TCGA and GEO provided information on stemness indices (mRNAsi), gene mutations, CNV, TMB, and corresponding clinical features. The prediction model was built using Lasso regression. Co-expression analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between gene expression and PyM.
    Results: PyMGs were overexpressed in the high-risk sample in the absence of other clinical symptoms, demonstrating their predictive potential for BLCA outcome. Immunological and tumor-related pathways were identified in the high-risk group by GSWA. Immune function and m6a gene expression varied significantly between the risk groups. In BLCA patients, DSG1, C6orf15, SOST, SPRR2A, SERPINB7, MYBPH, and KRT1 may participate in the oncology process. Immunological function and m6a gene expression differed significantly between the two groups. The prognostic model, CNVs, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and drug sensitivity all showed significant gene connections.
    Conclusions: BLCA-associated PyMGs are available to provide guidance in the prognostic and immunological setting and give evidence for the formulation of PyM-related molecularly targeted treatments. PyMGs and their interactions with immune cells in BLCA may serve as therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Abstract As bilayer lipid membrane vesicles secreted by neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs), NSC‐derived extracellular vesicles (NSC‐EVs) have attracted growing attention for their promising potential to serve as novel therapeutic agents in treatment of neurological diseases due to their unique physicochemical characteristics and biological functions. NSC‐EVs exhibit advantages such as stable physical and chemical properties, low immunogenicity, and high penetration capacity to cross blood–brain barrier to avoid predicaments of the clinical applications of NSCs that include autoimmune responses, ethical/religious concerns, and the problematic logistics of acquiring fetal tissues. More importantly, NSC‐EVs inherit excellent neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential and immunomodulatory capabilities from parent cells, and display outstanding therapeutic effects on mitigating behavioral alterations and pathological phenotypes of patients or animals with neurological diseases. In this review, we first comprehensively summarize the progress in functional research and application of NSC‐EVs in different neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, acute neurological diseases, dementia/cognitive dysfunction, and peripheral diseases. Next, we provide our thoughts on current limitations/concerns as well as tremendous potential of NSC‐EVs in clinical applications. Last, we discuss future directions of further investigations on NSC‐EVs and their probable applications in both basic and clinical research.

    Abstract Cumulus cells surrounding oocytes furnish nutritional support crucial for oocyte maturation in vitro, and thereby enhance oocyte quality significantly. Our previous studies affirmed the role of SIRT2 in regulation of mitochondrial function in sheep granulosa cells. However, the effect of SIRT2 action on mitophagy in these cells remain unclear. Here, RNA-seq was used to scrutinize pathways where differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are enriched following SIRT2 knockdown in cumulus cells. Prior to SIRT2 knock down, cumulus cells were treated with the mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi-1. Potential mechanisms by which SIRT2 affects apoptosis via mitophagy were explored. Results indicated that DEGs after SIRT2 knockdown were enriched in various pathways including mitochondria, mitophagy, and apoptosis. The expression levels of CASP3/CASP9 were significantly increased after mitophagy activation (P < 0.01), whereas inhibition of mitophagy had no effect on apoptosis (P > 0.05). Pretreatment of cumulus cells with Mdivi-1 prior to SIRT2 knockdown significantly reduced the expression of mitophagy-related genes, the number of autolysosomes, the expression of CASP3/CASP9, and the levels of Ca

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly globally. Emerging evidence has demonstrated microglia-driven neuroinflammation as a key contributor to the onset and progression of AD, however, the mechanisms that mediate neuroinflammation remain largely unknown. Recent studies have suggested mitochondrial dysfunction including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage, metabolic defects, and quality control (QC) disorders precedes microglial activation and subsequent neuroinflammation. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and microglial activation in AD is important to unveil the pathogenesis of AD and develop effective approaches for early AD diagnosis and treatment. In this review, we summarized current progress in the roles of mtDNA, mitochondrial metabolism, mitochondrial QC changes in microglial activation in AD, and provide comprehensive thoughts for targeting microglial mitochondria as potential therapeutic strategies of AD.
