Dynamic regulation and functions of mRNA m6A modification

Shanshan Wang et al.

Summary: N-6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification associated with eukaryotic mRNAs, and it plays a dynamic regulatory role in gene expression by affecting various steps of mRNA metabolism. This review discusses the general role of m6A, focusing on the three major types of enzymes that determine the level of m6A modification and the regulatory mechanism by which m6A influences RNA metabolism. Understanding the role of m6A in physiological and pathophysiological processes, especially in tumorigenesis, is of great importance.

A review on the occurrence and influence of biodegradable microplastics in soil ecosystems: Are biodegradable plastics substitute or threat?

Ping Fan et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the degradation characteristics and ecological effects of biodegradable plastics (BPs) and biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) in soil ecosystems. It reveals that BMPs have different or more severe impacts on soil environment compared to conventional microplastics (MPs), and BPs are not a perfect substitute for solving plastic pollution. Further research should focus on the generation, environmental behavior, ecological impact of BPs, and whether BMPs cause greater harm.

The role of N6-methyladenosine methylation in environmental exposure-induced health damage

Yanlu Feng et al.

Summary: The health risks caused by environmental pollution have long been a concern. Recent studies have shown that m6A modification plays a key role in regulating important life activities associated with various diseases, potentially contributing to health damage caused by environmental exposure. Moreover, m6A methylation modifications are involved in various health damages, such as oxidative stress imbalance, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and inflammatory processes. Additionally, methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3) and fat mass- and obesity-associated protein (FTO) are potential biomarkers for health damage induced by particulate matter exposure and heavy metal exposure, respectively.

Summary: Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging environmental pollutants that pose significant ecotoxicological concerns to humans and aquatic animals. However, there is still limited knowledge about the exposure routes and toxic effects of these particles on animal and human health. This review focuses on the potential exposure routes, human health impacts, and toxicity responses of microplastics/nanoplastics, based on studies conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments. It highlights ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contacts as major exposure routes, and identifies oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, DNA damage, inflammation, immune response, neurotoxicity, and metabolic disruption as serious health consequences.

Summary: The Bohai Sea, the largest semi-enclosed sea of China, serves as a significant sink for microplastics (MPs) from both terrestrial and marine sources. This study summarizes the sources and migration pathways of MPs in the Bohai Sea, as well as the abundance and characteristics of MPs in water, sediments, and organisms. The study finds that coastal anthropogenic activities and marine origins contribute to the enrichment of MPs in the Bohai Sea, with a medium ecological risk observed in the Liaodong Bay. The study recommends future research priorities to focus on field surveys, sampling standardization, and establishment of toxicity database for common polymer types of MPs in the Bohai Sea.

Methyltransferase-like 3 leads to lung injury by up-regulation of interleukin 24 through N6-methyladenosine-dependent mRNA stability and translation efficiency in mice exposed to fine particulate matter 2.5

Xiang He et al.

Summary: This study reveals the significant role of m6A modification in lung injury caused by PM2.5 exposure. The findings suggest that PM2.5 exposure increases the total level of m6A modification and the expression of METTL3. This upregulation of METTL3 leads to increased expression and m6A modification of IL24, enhancing the stability of IL24 mRNA. Additionally, PM2.5 exposure also upregulates the expression of YTHDF1, which augments the translation efficiency of IL24 mRNA. Downregulation of Mettl3 reduces IL24 expression and improves pulmonary inflammation and mucus secretion in PM2.5-exposed mice.
