Article Abstract
Uridine is one of the essential nutrients in organisms. To maintain normal cell growth and intracellular metabolism, the uridine must be maintained at certain concentration. Recent studies have shown that uridine can reduce inflammatory response in organisms, participate in glycolysis, and regulate intracellular protein modification, such as glycosylation and acetylation. Furthermore, it can protect cells from hypoxic injury by reducing intracellular oxidative stress, promoting high-energy compounds synthesis. Previous studies have shown that the protective effects of uridine are closely related to its effect on mitochondria. This review summarizes the effect of uridine on mitochondrial function.

Nucleotide metabolism is essential for fundamental cellular functions such as growth, repair and proliferation. Emerging evidence suggests that metabolic pathways also influence programmed cell death (PCD), though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. One model organism that has provided key insights into the regulation of PCD is Caenorhabditis elegans (C.

This study used NMR-based metabolomics to investigate the mode of action (MoA) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) toxicity in the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell model. 6-OHDA, a structural analogue of dopamine, has been used to create a Parkinson's disease model since 1968. Its selective uptake via catecholaminergic transporters leads to intracellular oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Cytidine/Uridine monophosphate kinase 2 (CMPK2) is a crucial enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of nucleotides, specifically converting cytidine monophosphate (CMP) and uridine monophosphate (UMP) into their respective diphosphates, known as cytidine diphosphate (CDP) and uridine diphosphate (UDP). Recent studies have demonstrated that CMPK2 plays a pivotal role in multiple pathophysiological processes, such as cellular nucleotide metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammatory response. Dysregulation of CMPK2 has been implicated in a variety of pathologies, including viral infections, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

Pseudouridylation (Ψ) is a highly abundant and conserved RNA modification that is present in all three domains of life. The incorporation of Ψ can affect the stability of RNAs, modulate their interaction patterns, and regulate many other aspects of RNA biology. Ψ are introduced by a structurally highly related enzyme family, called pseudouridine synthases (PUS).

Nucleoside analogs simultaneously exhibiting high fluorescence quantum yields and efficient triplet state population are rare. Such multifunctional nucleosides represent a crucial advancement for cell imaging-assisted photodynamic therapy relying on heavy-atom-free photosensitizers and hold additional promises as inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation. This study investigates the photophysical, electronic structure, excited state dynamics, and skin cancer cell photodynamic and inhibitory properties of 5-(5-phenylthiophen-2-yl)-6-azauridine (PTAU).
