Loss-of-function variants in CSDE1 have been strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, yet the precise role of CSDE1 in neurogenesis remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that knockout of Csde1 during cortical development in mice results in impaired neural progenitor proliferation, leading to abnormal cortical lamination and embryonic lethality. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Csde1 upregulates the transcription of genes involved in the cell cycle network. Applying a dual thymidine-labelling approach, we further revealed prolonged cell cycle durations of neuronal progenitors in Csde1-knockout mice, with a notable extension of the G1 phase. Intersection with CLIP-seq data demonstrated that Csde1 binds to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of mRNA transcripts encoding cell cycle genes. Particularly, we uncovered that Csde1 directly binds to the 3' UTR of mRNA transcripts encoding Cdk6, a pivotal gene in regulating the transition from the G1 to S phases of the cell cycle, thereby maintaining its stability. Collectively, this study elucidates Csde1 as a novel regulator of Cdk6, sheds new light on its critical roles in orchestrating brain development, and underscores how mutations in Csde1 may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Objective:To review the application of virtual reality in cardiac rehabilitation patients, identify intervention types, intervention elements, outcome indicators, and application effects.Methods:Electronic retrieval was implemented on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and China Biology Medicine disc, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review guideline as the methodological framework. The search period was from the establishment of the database to April 10, 2023. The literature was extracted, summarized, and analyzed.Results:A total of 16 articles were included. The main types of virtual reality interventions were immersive and non-immersive. The intervention population included patients at different stages of cardiac rehabilitation, with unrestricted intervention venues. The intervention frequency was mostly 2 to 3 times per week, with intervention duration mostly ranging from 30 to 60 minutes and intervention cycles mostly ranging from 3 weeks to 12 months. Virtual reality improved the physical function and mental health of cardiac rehabilitation patients to a certain extent, and patient feedback showed good participation and satisfaction.Conclusions:Virtual reality has a positive impact on cardiac rehabilitation patients, with good safety and feasibility, but the recovery of cardiac function is still controversial. It is still necessary to conduct large sample size, multi center research, and track long-term effects.
