FTSJ3‐Mediated 2′‐O‐Methylation of HSPA5 mRNA Stabilizes BOP1 via SUMOylation to Drive DRP1‐Dependent Mitochondrial Fission and Fatty Acid Oxidation in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The RNA methyltransferase FTSJ3 drives lung squamous cell carcinoma progression by catalyzing 2′‐O‐methylation of HSPA5 mRNA, which stabilizes BOP1 through SUMOylation and activates DRP1/SREBP1‐mediated mitochondrial fission and fatty acid oxidation. Targeting this axis with liposomal siRNA potently suppresses tumor growth and metastasis ABSTRACT Lung ...

Raman Analysis of RNA Nucleotide Strands From SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants and Subvariants: A Step Forward in the Definition of “Raman Genome”

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Main Raman signals in RNA, related to helical backbone, ribofuranose ring, and nitrogenous bases, are affected by secondary structures that cause hyperchromic effects and significantly alter the Raman intensity. ABSTRACT Raman spectra of RNA nucleotide strands extracted from 20 SARS‐CoV‐2 strains, including the original Japanese isolate, Alpha, Beta ...

Proteogenomic Profiling of Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Identifies Sex‐Differential Proteins and Candidate Therapeutic Targets

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated proteogenomic analysis of 44,137 predominantly European‐ancestry UK Biobank participants aged 40–69 years identifies 12 robust proteins associated with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. These proteins define a high‐mortality molecular endotype, support early detection and mortality prediction, reveal sex‐differential proteomic ...
