Background::The conversion of adenosine (A) to inosine (I) through deamination is the prevailing form of RNA editing, impacting numerous nuclear and cytoplasmic transcripts across various eukaryotic species. Millions of high-confidence RNA editing sites have been identified and integrated into various RNA databases, providing a convenient platform for the rapid identification of key drivers of cancer and potential therapeutic targets. However, the available database for integration of RNA editing in hematopoietic cells and hematopoietic malignancies is still lacking.Methods::We downloaded RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data of 29 leukemia patients and 19 healthy donors from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and RNA-seq data of 12 mouse hematopoietic cell populations obtained from our previous research were also used. We performed sequence alignment, identified RNA editing sites, and obtained characteristic editing sites related to normal hematopoietic development and abnormal editing sites associated with hematologic diseases.Results::We established a new database, "REDH", represents RNA editome in hematopoietic differentiation and malignancy. REDH is a curated database of associations between RNA editome and hematopoiesis. REDH integrates 30,796 editing sites from 12 murine adult hematopoietic cell populations and systematically characterizes more than 400,000 edited events in malignant hematopoietic samples from 48 cohorts (human). Through the Differentiation, Disease, Enrichment, and knowledge modules, each A-to-I editing site is systematically integrated, including its distribution throughout the genome, its clinical information (human sample), and functional editing sites under physiological and pathological conditions. Furthermore, REDH compares the similarities and differences of editing sites between different hematologic malignancies and healthy control.Conclusions::REDH is accessible at http://www.redhdatabase.com/. This user-friendly database would aid in understanding the mechanisms of RNA editing in hematopoietic differentiation and malignancies. It provides a set of data related to the maintenance of hematopoietic homeostasis and identifying potential therapeutic targets in malignancies.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of ischemic stroke in young adults.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 ischemic stroke patients (age ≤45 years) admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital from March 2019 to October 2019 as the young stroke group, and 117 ischemic stroke patients (age >45 years) hospitalized during the same period as the middle-aged and elderly stroke group. The blood test indexes of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors related to stroke, including smoking history, drinking history, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes history, were compared and analyzed. Two sets of independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test or χ2 test were used to compare the above indicators of patients in the two groups. Results:The activated partial prothrombin time, protein S, uric acid, homocysteine and D-dimer levels in middle-aged and elderly stroke group were (29.73±3.40) s, (105.58±27.23) %, (297.29±85.99) μmol/L, (17.58±14.45) μmol/L and (2.75±3.08) mg/L, respectively. Compared with the middle-aged and elderly stroke group, the young stroke group had higher activated partial thrombin time (31.51±6.75) s, protein S (115.20±26.97) %, uric acid (326.82±93.51) μmol/L, homocysteine (22.63±16.98) μmol/L and lower D dimer level of (1.19±2.88) mg/L compared with the elder group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t values were 2.17, 2.01, 2.20, 2.14 and 2.13, respectively, P values were 0.032, 0.046, 0.029, 0.039 and 0.034, respectively). The positive rate of lupus anticoagulant in young stroke group was 12.5% (4/32), which was higher than 1.8% (1/57) in middle-aged and elderly stroke group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=4.46, P=0.035). The proportions of smoking and drinking in young stroke group were 63.8% (51/80) and 62.5% (50/80), respectively, which were higher than 49.6% (58/117) and 47.9% (56/117) in middle-aged and elderly stroke group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (χ 2 values were 3.86 and 4.09; P values were 0.04 and 0.04). The proportion of hypertension and diabetes in young stroke group was 48.8% (39/80) and 17.5%(14/80), respectively, which were lower than 63.2%(74/117) and 30.8%(36/117) in middle-aged and elderly stroke group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (χ 2 values were 4.08 and 4.56; P values were 0.043 and 0.033). According to the levels of uric acid and homocysteine, young stroke was divided into different subgroups and compared.The creatinine level of high uric acid group (≥416 μmol/L) was (90.08±28.46) mmol/L, which was higher than that of normal uric acid group (<416 μmol/L) of (63.37±22.2) mmol/L. There was significant difference between the two groups ( t value was 2.23, P value was 0.046). The levels of fibrinogen and creatinine in high homocysteine group (≥15 μmol/L) were (3.27±1.09) g/L and (72.13±28.69) mmol/L, respectively which were significantly higher than those in normal homocysteine group (<15 μmol/L) of (2.78±0.67) g/L and (58.92±12.08) mmol/L, There was significant difference between the two groups (the t values were 2.32 and 2.51; P values were 0.023 and 0.014). Conclusions:Compared with middle-aged and elderly stroke, young ischemic stroke has higher levels of prothrombin time, protein S, uric acid and homocysteine, lower levels of D dimer and higher positive rate of lupus anticoagulant. At the same time, the proportion of smoking and drinking was higher in young stroke group, but the proportion of hypertension and diabetes was relatively lower.

Objective:To explore the level of tibial growth plate chondrocyte mitophagy in young rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) and its effect on chondrocyte apoptosis.Methods:Male 4-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups according to random number table method: normal control group ( n=20, intragastric administration with distilled water) and CRF group ( n=20, given adenine suspension 150 mg·kg -1·d -1). All the young rats were sacrificed after continuous gavage for 6 weeks. The length of tibia was measured on X ray film, the width of tibia growth plate was measured and compared on histological section, and the apoptosis rate of chondrocytes in growth plate was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The growth plate chondrocytes of two groups were isolated and cultured to the third generation in vitro, and the apoptosis rate of chondrocytes was detected by TUNEL assay. The co-localization of mitochondria and autophagy lysosomes in chondrocytes was observed by double fluorescence staining. Western blotting was used to detect the level of mitochondrial marker protein translocate of the outer mitochondrial membrane-20 (Tom-20) and autophagy marker light chain-3 protein (LC-3). The mitophagy of growth plate chondrocytes was observed by transmission electron microscope. Results:Compared with the normal control group, the tibia length of CRF group was shorter [(27.32±5.81) mm vs (35.43±3.61) mm, t=5.226, P<0.001], and the relative width of growth plate in histological section was narrower (0.56±0.19 vs 1.00±0.21, t=6.744, P<0.001). The apoptosis rate of chondrocytes in growth plate in CRF group was higher than that in the normal control group (17.2%±4.8% vs 5.1%±3.4%, t=6.505, P<0.001). The apoptosis rate of chondrocytes cultured in vitro in CRF group was higher than that in the normal control group (11.8%±6.2% vs 3.1%±1.2%, t=4.357, P<0.001). The result of double influorescence staining showed that there was co-localization between mitochondria and autophagy lysosomes in CRF group. Western blotting results showed that the levels of LC-3 protein ( t=8.944, P<0.001) and Tom-20 protein ( t=6.708, P<0.001) in CRF group were lower than those in the normal control group. Conclusion:The level of tibial growth plate chondrocyte mitophagy in young rats with CRF increases, which will lead to a decrease in the number of mitochondria, an increase in the apoptosis and a decrease in the number of chondrocytes, and eventually lead to dysplasia of tibia.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and atherosclerosis (AS) have considerable similarities in clinical risk factors and molecular pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to investigate the differences between AAA and AS from the perspective of metabolomics, and to explore the potential mechanisms of differential metabolites via integration analysis with transcriptomics. Plasma samples from 32 AAA and 32 AS patients were applied to characterize the metabolite profiles using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). A total of 18 remarkably different metabolites were identified, and a combination of seven metabolites could potentially serve as a biomarker to distinguish AAA and AS, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.93. Subsequently, we analyzed both the metabolomics and transcriptomics data and found that seven metabolites, especially 2'-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR), were significantly correlated with differentially expressed genes. In conclusion, our study presents a comprehensive landscape of plasma metabolites in AAA and AS patients, and provides a research direction for pathogenetic mechanisms in atherosclerotic AAA.
