RM2Target: a comprehensive database for targets of writers, erasers and readers of RNA modifications

Xiaoqiong Bao et al.

Summary: RNA modification is a dynamic and reversible process regulated by writers, erasers and readers (WERs). Abnormal changes of WERs disrupt RNA modification homeostasis, leading to dysregulation of RNA metabolism and diseases. The RM2Target database stores WER-target associations for nine RNA modifications, providing extensive annotations for target genes and facilitating downstream functional and mechanistic studies in RNA modification research.

Immunovascular classification of HCC reflects reciprocal interaction between immune and angiogenic tumor microenvironments

Yutaka Kurebayashi et al.

Summary: HCC can be categorized into four distinct immunovascular subtypes (IH/AS, IM/AM, IL/AG, and IL/AL) reflecting the reciprocal interaction between the antitumor immune microenvironment and tumor angiogenesis. The different subtypes are associated with decreasing lymphocytic infiltration, increasing angiogenic factor expression, and VETC/MTM positivity. IL/AG subtype is characterized by CTNNB1 mutation and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activation, while IL/AL subtype is not associated with increased lymphocyte infiltration or angiogenic factor expression.

METTL3/IGF2BP3 axis inhibits tumor immune surveillance by upregulating N6-methyladenosine modification of PD-L1 mRNA in breast cancer

Weijun Wan et al.

Summary: The study found that METTL3 can post-transcriptionally upregulate PD-L1 expression in an m(6)A-IGF2BP3-dependent manner to promote stabilization of PD-L1 mRNA. This may have important implications for new and efficient therapeutic strategies in tumor immunotherapy.

Hepatocellular carcinoma downstaging for liver transplantation in the era of systemic combined therapy with anti-VEGF/TKI and immunotherapy

Nguyen H. Tran et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a global health challenge, and liver transplantation is the best long-term treatment option. Locoregional methods for downstaging have limitations, while systemic treatments show potential for downstaging before transplantation. Assessment, endpoints, and clinical trial designs are critical considerations.

Dan Li et al.

Summary: RNA modification of m6A/m5C/m1A plays a crucial role in the prognosis and immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The cluster subgroup and risk model of m6A/m5C/m1A regulated genes are associated with the poor prognosis and immune microenvironment in HCC.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

m6A regulator-mediated RNA methylation modification patterns are involved in immune microenvironment regulation of periodontitis

Xiaoqi Zhang et al.

Summary: Through the study of 310 periodontitis samples, it was found that m6A modification plays a crucial role in the immune microenvironment of periodontitis, involving regulation of immune cell infiltration, immune reaction gene sets, HLA genes, and more. Some m6A regulators were found to be dysregulated, and a signature of 15 m6A regulators can effectively distinguish periodontitis from control samples.
