Epigenetics plays a central role in neuropsychiatric disorders, contributing significantly to their complexity and manifestation. Major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) have profound impact on mood, affect and cognition. Emerging evidence suggests that epigenetic modification of genes plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of both MDD and BD. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) constitute a heterogeneous class of transcripts and have emerged as crucial regulators of epigenetic processes, offering promising insights into the pathophysiology of various diseases. Despite their limited coding potential, lncRNAs are known to play a critical role in achieving global transcriptomic regulation in a spatiotemporal fashion, especially in complex tissue like the brain. This review aims to discuss the specific dysregulation of lncRNAs so far observed in the brains of MDD and BD patients and understand their mechanistic contributions to the disease pathogenesis.

Key points

  • Brain-centric lncRNAs regulate gene networks, and their disruption is linked to MDD.
  • In MDD, altered lncRNAs disrupt gene regulation by changing chromatin looping or modifying chromatin accessibility.
  • These changes lead to neuronal dysfunction, affecting neural circuitry and synaptic plasticity.
  • The result is impaired brain function, contributing to the symptoms of MDD.

Background: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a major challenge for the development of monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapies for brain disorders. To improve the likelihood of success of such therapies, Roche Brainshuttle technology utilizes a single anti-transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1)-antigen-binding antibody fragment linked to a therapeutic antibody, allowing engagement with TfR1 to transport the therapeutic antibody into the brain via receptor-mediated transcytosis.

Methods: We compared Fc-silenced and Fc-competent variants of the Brainshuttle and the parental (non-shuttled) type II CD20 mAb, obinutuzumab in in vitro and in vivo (mouse and cynomolgus macaque) models. Endpoints assessed included B cell binding, B cell killing, tolerability, and ability to cross the BBB.

Results: The Fc-silenced Brainshuttle construct showed a superior safety profile compared with the Fc-competent construct while maintaining the ability to cross the BBB and to deplete B cells in head-to-head comparisons in human and mouse in vitro and in mouse and cynomolgus macaque in vivo models.

Conclusion: Together, our data provide a path forward for the future development of safe and efficacious brain-targeted B-cell-depleting therapies.

Key points: The BBB hinders mAb-based brain disorder therapies A brain-targeted B-cell-depleting mAb for MS that efficiently crosses the BBB via hTfR1 was developed using Brainshuttle technology (1a and 1b) The Brainshuttle-CD20 mAb was well tolerated (2a and 2b) and displayed B-cell-killing properties (1c), paving the way for future development and clinical translation of TfR1-targetingtherapies for increased brain penetration.

Background: Chemoresistance remains a major hurdle in ovarian cancer (OC) treatment, as many patients eventually develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy and/or PARP inhibitors (PARPi).

Methods: We performed transcriptome-wide analysis by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data of platinum-resistant and -sensitive OC tissues. We demonstrated the role of LINC02776 in platinum resistance in OC cells, mice models and patient-derived organoid (PDO) models.

Results: We identify the long noncoding RNA LINC02776 as a critical factor of platinum resistance. Elevated expression of LINC02776 is observed in platinum-resistant OC and serves as an independent prognostic factor for OC patients. Functionally, silencing LINC02776 reduces proliferation and DNA damage repair in OC cells, thereby enhancing sensitivity to platinum and PARPi in both xenograft mouse models and patient-derived organoid (PDO) models with acquired chemoresistance. Mechanistically, LINC02776 binds to the catalytic domain of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), promoting PARP1-dependent polyADP-ribosylation (PARylation) and facilitating homologous recombination (HR) restoration. Additionally, high HIF-1α expression in platinum-resistant tissues further stimulates LINC02776 transcription.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that targeting LINC02776 represents a promising therapeutic strategy for OC patients who have developed resistance to platinum or PARPi.

Key points: LINC02776 promotes OC cell proliferation by regulating DNA damage and apoptosis signaling pathways. LINC02776 binds PARP1 to promote DNA damage-triggered PARylation in OC cells. LINC02776 mediates cisplatin and olaparib resistance in OC cells by enhancing PARP1-mediated PARylation activity and regulating the PARP1-mediated HR pathway. The high expression of LINC02776 is induced by HIF-1α in platinum-resistant OC cells and tissues.

Interest in RNA posttranscriptional modifications, particularly 5-methylcytosine (m5C), has surged in recent years. Studies have shown that m5C plays a key role in cellular processes and is closely linked to tumourigenesis. This growing focus emphasises the importance of understanding the diverse impacts of m5C modifications in both normal cellular functions and cancer development. Moreover, strides in methodologies for discerning m5C have facilitated intricate transcriptome cartography of RNA methylation at the solitary nucleotide echelon. This technical progress has fueled a surge in m5C-centric investigations, facilitating further exploration of this RNA modification. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the oncogenic potential of m5C RNA modification, elucidating the precise molecular mechanisms driving its role in cancer development. It consolidates current knowledge regarding the biological consequences of m5C RNA modification in tumour cells. Understanding the role of methylation-related processes in tumourigenesis shows promise for advancing cancer diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.

Highlights

  • m5C modifications are dynamically regulated by writers, readers, and erasers, influencing cancer progression, metastasis, and immune evasion.

  • Distinct m5C regulatory networks exist across cancers, modulating oncogenic pathways and therapy responses.

  • m5C signatures serve as biomarkers for cancer prognosis and treatment stratification, highlighting their role in precision oncology.

However, challenges such as low paracrine efficiency and poor cell survival persist due to the harsh post-infarction conditions, such as hypoxia. Recently, enhanced cell therapy, in which vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are used as therapeutic agents to limit myocardial injury and simultaneously induce neovascularisation, has been recognised as a promising new strategy to improve the efficacy of cell therapy. Chemically synthetic modified messenger RNA (modRNA), a novel protein expression technology, enables safe, rapid, efficient and pulsatile expression of target proteins in vivo and in vitro settings. It has been widely applied in the fields of vaccine research and tissue regeneration. In this study, human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were transfected with VEGFA and bFGF modRNA to transiently overexpress these proteins before transplantation. This modification enhanced the paracrine effect of transplanted hADSCs and promoted stability in the vascular network at the transplantation site. Overexpression of VEGFA and bFGF in hADSCs not only inhibited apoptosis but also reduced ventricular remodelling and improved cardiac function and left ventricular conduction. Overall, the additive effects of VEGFA modRNA, bFGF modRNA and hADSCs hold promise for comprehensive cardiac repair post-MI and show substantial potential for treating ischemic heart diseases.

Key points

  • ModRNAs-transfected hADSCs exhibit pulsed and transient expression, enabling efficient production of functional VEGFA and bFGF proteins.
  • Intracardiac injection of these engineered hADSCs leads to the enhancement of cardiac function and the improvement of electrical conduction.
  • The hADSCsdual mainly exerts its effect on myocardial infarction by promoting stable vascular regeneration and suppressing cell apoptosis.

Background

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) continues to pose a pressing clinical challenge during invasive cardiovascular procedures due to the limited availability of preventative strategies. We aimed to demonstrate that irisin, a myokine induced by exercise, protects against CI-AKI by inhibiting the cGAS-STING inflammatory pathway.

Methods and results

We explored the relationship between serum irisin levels and CI-AKI incidence in patients administered the contrast media iohexol. Notably, lower serum irisin levels were strongly associated with an increased incidence of CI-AKI following contrast media administration. To establish a causal link between serum irisin levels and CI-AKI, we utilised a mouse model that simulates exercise by overexpressing muscle-specific PGC-1α. This approach showed a significant reduction in tubular injury and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by iohexol via cGAS/STING suppression, thereby diminishing inflammation. Mechanistically, irisin was found to inhibit the activation of cGAS/STING, preventing double stranded DNA (dsDNA) leakage and reducing inflammation in tubular epithelial cells (TECs). Pharmacological inhibition of STING further corroborated these observations. Moreover, we identified integrin complex αV/β5 as the irisin receptor on TECs, which is essential for irisin-mediated suppression of cGAS-STING signalling and resolution of inflammation.

Conclusions

Our data position irisin as a crucial factor in muscle‒kidney crosstalk, inhibiting cGAS-STING signalling and preventing dsDNA leakage via integrin αV/β5 in TECs, thus mitigating tubular injury and inflammation. These data underscore the potential of irisin as both a predictive biomarker for CI-AKI and a promising candidate for preventative strategies against CI-AKI.

Highlights

  • Irisin mediated muscle-kidney crosstalk mitigated tubular injury and inflammation.
  • Irisin inhibited the cGAS-STING signalling activation via integrin αV/β5 in tubular epithelial cells.
  • Irisin was a predictive biomarker and a promising candidate for CI-AKI.

Maternal immune activation (MIA) is recognised as a risk factor in the neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the precise molecular pathways through which MIA disrupts neurovascular function remain largely unexplored. Here, we identify a novel MIA-associated brain endothelial piRNA (MIABEPIR) involved in regulating BMEC function and BBB integrity. RNA microarray analysis of foetal brain tissue from MIA-exposed mice revealed significant changes in piRNA expression, including a marked upregulation of MIABEPIR upregulated piRNAs. Immunofluorescence and FISH confirmed that MIABEPIR is localised in the microvascular endothelial cells of the brain. MIABEPIR overexpression enhances BMEC proliferation and angiogenesis but disrupts BBB integrity. In vivo, intracranial administration of lentiviral MIABEPIR in foetal mice resulted in marked BBB disruption. Mechanistically, we identified DAPK2 as a downstream target of MIABEPIR, leading to its downregulation. This suppression of DAPK2 inhibits autophagy in BMECs, suggesting that MIABEPIR modulates endothelial cell autophagy through the DAPK2 pathway. Our findings reveal a novel piRNA-mediated regulatory mechanism in neurovascular function during MIA and highlight MIABEPIR's role in MIA-induced neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Targeting the MIABEPIR-DAPK2 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy for addressing neurovascular dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders associated with maternal immune stress.
