Article Abstract
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) serves as an essential hub in sensing metabolic stress and regulating aging, although the differential contributions of mTOR-regulated protein and cholesterol synthesis are unclear. Post-transcriptional modifications of mRNAs, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A), occur rapidly in response to acute environmental changes to maintain tissue homeostasis. Here, we showed that loss of YTH m6A RNA-binding protein 1 (YTHDF1) accelerated murine aging. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 is anchored to the lysosome surface by lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP2), whereby it recruits tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC2) to inhibit mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). Ythdf1 loss activated mTORC1-sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)-axis-mediated cholesterol biosynthesis but not m6A-reader-regulated protein translation. Rapamycin restored murine healthspan in contrast to the maximum lifespan shortening caused by Ythdf1 depletion. Our data reveal an m6A-independent function of YTHDF1, which differentiates the contributing roles of mTORC1 in the regulation of aging.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic disorder characterized by reduced bone mineral density and degeneration of bone tissue microarchitecture. Osteogenic differentiation plays a pivotal role in OP pathogenesis by facilitating new bone formation, preserving bone strength and density, and counteracting bone resorption. RNA epigenetic modifications have been increasingly implicated in multiple aspects of bone metabolism.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic disorder, resulting from mutations in keratin 5 and keratin 14 (KRT14), and is characterised by skin fragility, herpetiform blistering, and the development of confluent palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy. Inflammation, pain and itch are the most common complications of severe EBS. However, pathophysiological mechanisms remain poorly characterised at a molecular level.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) significantly impacts human health, with emerging evidence indicating that N6-methyladenosine (mA) modifications serve a critical regulatory function in ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. This study sought to comprehensively analyze aberrant mA modification and its mechanistic implications following ICH.

-methyladenosine (mA) is one of the most prevalent post-transcriptional modifications of eukaryotic RNA molecules. This post-transcriptional modification is essential in biological contexts ranging from metabolism to cellular differentiation and neuronal function. While the role of mA RNA regulation in the soma of planarian flatworms has been previously studied, the presence and biological relevance of this regulatory pathway in the germline of these or other lophotrochozoans remains unknown.

Background: YTHDF1, a critical regulator of cellular processes, has attracted attention for its involvement in some inflammatory diseases. However, its specific association with atopic dermatitis (AD) remains unclear. The objective is to investigate the functional roles and underlying mechanisms of YTHDF1 in AD.
