ACSL4‐Dependent Lysosomal Lipid Peroxidation Links WTAP‐Mediated m6A Modification to Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐1β upregulates the protein level of WTAP, which promotes the m6A modification of ACSL4 mRNA in an IGF2BP2‐dependent manner, thereby enhancing its stability. The increased ACSL4 drives lipid peroxidation, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and impaired mitophagy, which collectively accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).

Restoration of m6A‐Modified circPSMB1 Suppresses Chordoma Progression and Enables Local Nanotherapeutic Intervention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An m6A‐modified circRNA, circPSMB1, is identified as a tumor suppressor in chordoma. METTL3‐dependent m6A promotes circPSMB1 interaction with HNRNPA2B1, limiting c‐MYC expression and malignant progression. An injectable HMnO2‐based nanohydrogel enables local circPSMB1 delivery and tumor microenvironment‐responsive therapy, offering a promising strategy

A BSCB‐Penetrating Nanoplatform for Enhanced Luteolin Delivery in PRMT2‐Targeted Epigenetic Therapy of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, MSN‐BO@LUT penetrates the blood‐spinal cord barrier for luteolin delivery in spinal cord injury. The nanodrug suppresses neuroinflammation and promotes functional recovery of the spinal cord. Mechanistically, luteolin targets protein arginine N‐methyltransferase (PRMT2) to decrease toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) methylation, thereby ...

Multi‐Technique Integration Identifies O‐GlcNAc Transferase in Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes as a Therapeutic Target for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AI‑guided single‑cell transcriptomics identifies OGT as a key regulator enriched in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (RA‐FLSs). Inflammatory stimuli activate the OGT–SAP130 axis, which modulates the H3K27ac/H3K27me3 balance and epigenetically silences BTG2, promoting aggressive transformation of RA‑FLSs.

Chemotherapy‐Activated GSK3β‐DNMT1 Signaling Upregulates CD47 to Evade Macrophage Phagocytosis and Drive Temozolomide Resistance in Glioblastoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temozolomide treatment activates GSK3β, driving DNMT1 phosphorylation, destabilization, and CD47 promoter hypomethylation in glioblastoma. This epigenetic shift upregulates CD47, enabling TMZ‐treated GBM cells to evade macrophage phagocytosis, survive chemotherapy, and acquire resistance.

YTHDC1 Orchestrates Glucose and Glutamate Rewiring to Overcome Lethal Metabolic Stress in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lai et al. find that m6A reader YTHDC1 is specifically overexpressed in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) and orchestrates glucose and glutamine metabolism in an m6A‐dependent manner to confer robust adaptability to lethal metabolic stress. Leveraging YTHDC1 knockdown‐induced metabolic vulnerability, an ATF4 mRNA‐targeted nanotherapy is developed to
