Article Abstract
3-Methylcholanthracene (3-MC) is one of the most carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Long-term exposure to PAHs has been thought of as an important factor in urothelial tumorigenesis. N-methyladenosine (mA) exists widely in eukaryotic organisms and regulates the expression level of specific genes by regulating mRNA stability, translation efficiency, and nuclear export efficiency. Currently, the potential molecular mechanisms that regulate mA modification for 3-MC carcinogenesis remain unclear. Here, we profiled mRNA, mA, translation and protein level using "-omics" methodologies, including transcriptomes, mA profile, translatomes, and proteomics in 3-MC-transformed urothelial cells and control cells. The key molecules SLC3A2/SLC7A5 were screened and identified in 3-MC-induced uroepithelial transformation. Moreover, SLC7A5/SLC3A2 promoted uroepithelial cells malignant phenotype in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, METTL3 and ALKBH5 mediated mA modification of SLC3A2/SLC7A5 mRNA in 3-MC-induced uroepithelial transformation by upregulating the translation of SLC3A2/SLC7A5. Furthermore, programmable mA modification of SLC3A2/SLC7A5 mRNA affected the expression of its proteins. Taken together, our results revealed that the mA modification-mediated SLC3A2/SLC7A5 translation promoted 3-MC-induced uroepithelial transformation, suggesting that targeting mA modification of SLC3A2/SLC7A5 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for bladder cancer related to PAHs.

Background: Numerous studies have suggested a close association between cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the tumor microenvironment (TME), suggesting that cancer stem-ness might also contribute to ICI resistance. However, the interplay between these physio-logical processes in urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) remains unclear.
Method: A meta-analysis was performed using the UBC Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) dataset, and tumor stemness gene sets (Ste.

Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and damage can result in the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activates the cGAS-STING pathway, promoting the onset of inflammatory diseases. Various factors, such as oxidative stress, viral infection, and drug toxicity, have been identified as inducers of mitochondrial damage. This study aims to investigate the role of mtDNA as a critical inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of ketamine (KET)-induced cystitis (KC) through the cGAS-STING pathway.

2,6-Dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-DBBQ) and 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-DCBQ), two emerging halobenzoquinones (HBQs), have the highest detection frequencies and levels in drinking water among all HBQs. They are more toxic than the regulated disinfection byproducts. Quantitative structure toxicity relationship analysis predicted that HBQs are a class of potential bladder carcinogens.
