Article Abstract
Gliomas are biologically heterogeneous brain tumors with marked differences in clinical behavior based on the IDH1 mutation status. While epigenetic dysregulation is well characterized, the contribution of RNA modifications, particularly N6-methyladenosine (m6A), remains underexplored. Using direct RNA nanopore sequencing of patient-derived gliomas, we generated the first isoform-resolved m6A maps across IDH1-mutant and wild-type tumors. IDH1-mutant gliomas exhibited globally elevated m6A methylation, along with increased expression of methyltransferases (METTL3, METTL14) and stabilizing readers (YTHDF3). In contrast, wild-type glioblastomas showed enhanced expression of m6A erasers (ALKBH5, FTO) and RNA decay factors (YTHDF2). These subtype-specific differences in m6A architecture impacted transcript stability, isoform usage, and gene expression. Isoform-level analyses revealed stronger prognostic associations than gene-level parameter, including for IGF2BP2-202, PUF60-202, and GLUL-203. Our study establishes m6A as a critical, subtype-specific layer of RNA regulation in glioma with clinical and therapeutic implications.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver is a hallmark of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, the pathological events that trigger the infiltration of inflammatory cells to mediate MAFLD pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the function and mechanism of Hic-5 on hepatic inflammation of MAFLD.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of diabetes, imposing substantial socioeconomic and public health challenges. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, a prevalent epigenetic mechanism, influences cellular processes and disease progression. Wilms' tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP), an m6A methyltransferase subunit, was investigated for its role in DN.

Bladder cancer (BlCa) exhibits a highly heterogeneous molecular landscape and treatment response, underlining the pressing need for personalized prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) constitutes the most abundant RNA modification, modulates RNA biology/metabolism, and maintains cellular homeostasis, with its dysregulation involved in cancer initiation and progression. Herein, we evaluated the clinical value of METTL3 m6A methyltransferase, the main catalytic component of m6A methylation machinery, in improving BlCa patients' risk stratification and prognosis.

RNA modifications, including N6-methyladenosine (m6A), 5-methylcytosine, and pseudouridine, serve as pivotal regulators of gene expression with significant implications for human health and disease. These dynamic modifications influence RNA stability, splicing, translation, and interactions, thereby orchestrating critical biological processes such as embryonic development, immune response, and cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of RNA modifications is closely associated with a variety of pathologies.
