Our findings indicate that the initial cultures primarily consisted of immature astrocytes (ImAs), with potentially a minor presence of radial glial cells. The ImAs initially went through an intermediate state, activating both astrocyte and neural progenitor genes. Subsequently, they mimic in vivo neurogenesis to acquire mature neuronal characteristics. We show that ND1 acted as a pioneer factor that reshapes the chromatin landscape of astrocytes to that of neurons. This restructuring promotes the expression of neurogenic genes via inducing H3K27ac modification.

This study reveals that protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)5 methylates METTL3 at the R36 residue (METTL3-R36me2), which is crucial for CDDP resistance in ovarian cancer (OC) cells. Following CDDP exposure, MST4 is transactivated by nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a key regulator of antioxidant responses. MST4 stimulates PRMT5's methyltransferase activity and promotes its interaction with METTL3 via phosphorylation at Ser439 and Ser463, resulting in increased levels of METTL3-R36me2 and mRNA methylation at the N6 position of adenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A). The METTL3-R36me2 is recruited to DNA damage sites to promote RAD51 recruitment for homologous recombination (HR)-mediated double-strand break repair (DSBR) and enhance CDDP resistance.
