Article Abstract
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the potential of DNA nanoparticles (DNPs) as carriers and adjuvants for mRNA vaccines.
Materials And Methods: Customized oligonucleotides were assembled into DNA tetrahedra (DNA-TH), which were subsequently complexed with streptavidin and mRNA encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP). Various assays were conducted to evaluat the stability of the DNPs, their cellular uptake, immune activation potential, and GFP mRNA transcription efficiency. P53-mutant HSC-3 cells were used to establish a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model to explore the effects of DNPs as carriers and adjuvants in a disease model.
Results: The DNPs were remained stable extracellularly and rapidly taken up by antigen-presenting cells. Compared to naked GFP mRNA, DNPs statistically significantly activated immune responses and facilitated GFP mRNA transcription and protein expression both in vitro and in vivo. Immunization with DNP-GFP mRNA complexes induced higher antibody titers compared to naked mRNA. The DNPs demonstrated good biocompatibility. DNP-p53 inhibited the growth of subcutaneous xenograft tumors in mice with p53-mutant HSC-3 cells, outperforming both the naked p53 mRNA and blank control groups, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: DNA nanoparticles show promise for improving mRNA vaccine delivery and efficacy. Further optimization of these nanoparticles could lead to highly effective mRNA vaccine carriers with broad applications.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of caffeoylquinic acids from Erigeron breviscapus(EBCQA) on cognitive impairment and mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease(AD), and to explore its underlying mechanisms. The impacts of EBCQA on paralysis, β-amyloid(Aβ) oligomerization, and mRNA expression of mitophagy-related genes [PTEN-induced putative kinase 1(PINK1) homolog-encoding gene pink-1, Parkin homolog-encoding gene pdr-1, Bcl-2 interacting coiled-coil protein 1(Beclin 1) homolog-encoding gene bec-1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) homolog-encoding gene lgg-1, autophagic adapter protein 62(p62) homolog-encoding gene sqst-1] were examined in the AD Caenorhabditis elegans CL4176 model, along with mitochondrial functions including adenosine triphosphate(ATP) content, enzyme activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ,Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, and mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, the effects of EBCQA on the green fluorescent protein(GFP)/red fluorescent protein from Discosoma sp.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an important role in synaptic development and plasticity. It is a promising therapeutic target for improving neurofunctional outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the delivery of BDNF faces several significant challenges including limited entry into the CNS due to blood-brain barrier (BBB), short half-life, and potential side effects.

Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome driven by the loss of fumarate hydratase (FH) activity. Recently, we identified a pathogenic variant in intron 9 of the gene that disrupts splicing by creating a novel splice acceptor site, resulting in the aberrant inclusion of a cryptic exon. Inclusion of the cryptic exon introduces a premature termination codon, leading to loss of FH activity.

Photoactivatable fluorescent proteins enable precise analysis of subcellular protein dynamics, but a comparable approach for photoactivated tagging subcellular RNA remains lacking. Here, we develop PA-Broccoli, a photoactivatable fluorescent RNA tag that mimics photoactivatable green fluorescent proteins (PA-GFP). Similar to PA-GFP, PA-Broccoli is initially nonfluorescent but emits intense green fluorescence after ultraviolet light irradiation.
