Background: ()-induced bovine mastitis is a major challenge for dairy production, causing significant economic losses. The regulatory mechanisms underlying host cell apoptosis and inflammation during infection remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigates the role of N6-methyladenosine (mA) modification and its reader protein YTHDF2 in regulating mRNA stability, apoptosis, and inflammation in bovine mammary epithelial cells (Mac-T cells) under challenge.
Methods: MeRIP-seq, RIP-seq, and RT-qPCR were used to analyze mA-modified mRNA and its interaction with YTHDF2. Apoptosis, necrosis, and mitochondrial function were assessed using YO-PRO-1/PI staining and JC-1 assays.
Results: infection significantly downregulated expression in Mac-T cells, leading to destabilization of mA-modified mRNA. This resulted in increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell apoptosis. Overexpression of restored mRNA stability, reduced apoptosis, and preserved mitochondrial function.
Conclusion: YTHDF2 regulates mA-modified mRNA stability to modulate apoptosis and inflammation during infection. These findings provide new insights into understanding the molecular mechanisms of bovine mastitis and provide genetic markers for breeding mastitis-resistant dairy cows.

The Colorado potato beetle (CPB, Leptinotarsa decemlineata) is a major pest of solanaceous crops and has developed resistance to many conventional insecticides, highlighting the need for novel, environmentally sustainable control strategies. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting the proteasome subunit β5 (PSMB5) gene as a biopesticide approach against CPB larvae. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) targeting PSMB5 (a highly specific dsRNA) and Actin (a less specific dsRNA) dsRNA was synthesized and applied via leaf dip assays, either in naked form or formulated with chitosan nanoparticles.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies globally, driven by complex molecular mechanisms that contribute to its progression and metastasis. This study focuses on the role of N1-methyladenosine (mA) RNA methylation in CRC, particularly its effect on Rab Interacting Lysosomal Protein-Like 1 (RILPL1) expression and the downstream activation of the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway. Bioinformatics analysis identified RILPL1 as a key gene associated with poor CRC prognosis, exhibiting increased expression levels in cancerous tissues, with further elevation in metastatic samples.

Wendan Decoction (WDD), a classic formula for the expectoration of phlegm, has been acknowledged for the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Nevertheless, the therapeutic components and mechanism of WDD in COPD remain elusive. Hence, an analytical strategy for extensive investigation of the constituents in WDD combining UFLC-ESI-Q/TOF-MS and subsequent network pharmacology was conducted, and the appropriate preparation of bio-samples was involved with mechanistic bioanalysis including multi-technique metabolomics and molecular biological means, that pivotal factors such as PTGS2, arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway were recommended as potential central elements for the anti-COPD effects.
