The Roles and Regulation of m6A Modification in Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Tumorigenesis
Biomedicines, 2022 Glioblastoma is the most common and most lethal primary malignant brain tumor. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a widespread and abundant internal messenger RNA (mRNA) modification found in eukaryotes.

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Methylation status of Dnmt1 promoter depends on poly(ADP-ribosy)lation [PDF]
, 2007 Research is focused on CpG islands and on the mechanism that poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation uses to defend the unmethylated state of these important DNA sequences which are located in the promoter regions of the housekeeping genes having a role of transcription ...

Angucyclinones rescue PhLOPSA antibiotic activity by inhibiting Cfr-dependent antibiotic resistance
mBio, 2023 Methylation of the ribosome is a prevalent strategy conferring resistance to antibiotics that inhibit protein synthesis. Methylation is catalyzed by several distinct enzymes, many encoded on mobile genetic elements widespread in bacteria. One enzyme that

Inhibition of DNA methyltransferase leads to increased genomic 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels in hematopoietic cells. [PDF]
, 2018 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is produced from 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by Ten-eleven translocation (TET) dioxygenases. The epigenetic modification 5hmC has crucial roles in both cellular development and differentiation.

Targeted modulation of IGFL2‐AS1 reveals its translational potential in cervical adenocarcinoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cervical adenocarcinoma patients face worse outcomes than squamous cell carcinoma counterparts despite similar treatment. The identification of IGFL2‐AS1's differential expression provides a molecular basis for distinguishing these histotypes, paving the way for personalized therapies and improved survival in vulnerable populations globally.
