- Recent evidence has established a significant link between N4 acetylcytidine (ac4C) mRNA modification, mediated by N Acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), and bone metabolism. Nonetheless, the precise role and regulatory targets of NAT10, along with its associated ac4C modification in human bone formation, remain inadequately characterized. This study employed bioinformatics analysis of transcriptomic datasets from primary osteoblasts of individuals with high versus low bone mineral density (BMD), alongside a curated set of ac4C-modified genes, to identify key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) regulated by this pathway within an osteogenic context. Overall, eleven key NAT10/ac4C-associated DEGs linked to BMD status were identified: CFD, CTSF, DCXR, FADS1, GOLIM4, IMPA2, MLEC, NCLN, NT5DC2, PTGFRN, and VASP. Notably, FADS1, NT5DC2, and PTGFRN emerged as crucial ac4C-modified genes across three machine learning models. Furthermore, the tri-gene signature (FADS1/NT5DC2/PTGFRN) showed excellent diagnostic performance in distinguishing different BMD statuses. In vitro validation using MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells revealed that the knockdown of NAT10 via lentiviral delivery markedly impaired cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. This impairment was evidenced by the results of the CCK-8 proliferation assay, alkaline phosphatase staining, and Alizarin Red staining. Additionally, qRT PCR analysis demonstrated a significant downregulation of FADS1 and NT5DC2 expression subsequent to NAT10 knockdown. These findings underscore the role of NAT10-mediated ac4C modification as a pivotal regulator of osteoblast activity and gene expression programs associated with BMD. This research offers novel insights into the regulation of bone metabolism and proposes potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for osteoporosis. - Source: PubMed
Tang YWang QDong WJiang GLei MHu XWu YJiang WHao JHu Z - Executive function is an essential cognitive domain for typical human behavior which is disrupted in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, but little is known about its underlying molecular basis. To address this, we perform genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using three different measures of executive function in UK Biobank (N = 84,238) and NIHR BioResource's Genes and Cognition (N = 9932) study participants, followed by a meta-analysis. The trail-making alphanumeric (TMA) measure is the most heritable phenotype (h²=7-26%), associated with 18 independent loci that exhibit a similar direction of effect in both cohorts. Across these loci, in-silico follow-up implicates 178 genes, of which NT5DC2 and RP11-579E24.2 are independently replicated prior to meta-analysis. TMA is linked to pan-cerebral differences in brain structure, with brain-enriched genes showing a biphasic expression profile from early development through to later life. Our data implicate specific cell types, histone modifications and butyrophilin immunoglobulin family proteins as potential targets for promoting cognitive resilience. - Source: PubMed

Rahman Md ShafiqurFrkatović-Hodžić Azravan den Ameele JelleHill Steven MKingston NathalieBradley John RTom Brian D MChinnery Patrick F - Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays a pivotal role in the development and treatment of cancer because of its impact on tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, and resistance to chemotherapy. NT5DC2, a gene associated with ferroptosis, has been identified as a key facilitator of cellular proliferation and metastasis in several cancers. In this study, we found that NT5DC2 is highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues compared with normal tissues and that its expression is correlated with the poor prognosis of bladder cancer patients. Functionally, we demonstrated that NT5DC2 suppresses ferroptosis in bladder cancer cells and promotes malignant tumor progression. Mechanistically, NT5DC2 interacts with ACSL3 and hampers its ubiquitination, thereby improving the stability of ACSL3, a crucial ferroptosis suppressing protein induced by oleic acid in lymph nodes. In addition, rescue assay results indicated that ACSL3 mediated the roles of NT5DC2 in suppressing ferroptosis of bladder cancer cells. Furthermore, we found that the upregulation of ACSL3 by oleic acid treatment was mediated by NT5DC2 as manifested by the observation that silencing of NT5DC2 abrogates this regulatory effect of oleic acid treatment. Collectively, our findings suggest that NT5DC2/ACSL3 plays a critical role in bladder cancer progression and ferroptosis regulation, suggesting that NT5DC2/ACSL3 is a potential therapeutic target for bladder cancer treatment. - Source: PubMed

Zhang TianyueWu JunxiaZhang JiazhiHu YepengZhao YimingMao GuangyunJiao JingjingWang JunChen RiqiuZheng Chao - Genome-wide association studies have revealed the involvement of 5'-nucleotidase domain-containing protein 2 (NT5DC2) in neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; however, its function remains unclear. We recently found that NT5DC2 downregulation in PC12D cells increases catecholamine synthesis by promoting tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity. In addition, affinity purification-mass spectrometry suggested a potential interaction between NT5DC2 and monoamine oxidase A (MAO A). In this study, we examined the impact of NT5DC2 on MAO A activity in PC12D cells and the related effects on catecholamine metabolism. - Source: PubMed
