Abstract
N 1-methyl adenosine (m1A) is a widespread RNA modification present in tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA. m1A modification sites in tRNAs are evolutionarily conserved and its formation on tRNA is catalyzed by methyltransferase TRMT61A and TRMT6 complex. m1A promotes translation initiation and elongation. Due to its positive charge under physiological conditions, m1A can notably modulate RNA structure. It also blocks Watson-Crick-Franklin base-pairing and causes mutation and truncation during reverse transcription. Several misincorporation-based high-throughput sequencing methods have been developed to sequence m1A. In this study, we introduce a reduction-based m1A sequencing (red-m1A-seq). We report that NaBH4 reduction of m1A can improve the mutation and readthrough rates using commercially available RT enzymes to give a better positive signature, while alkaline-catalyzed Dimroth rearrangement can efficiently convert m1A to m6A to provide good controls, allowing the detection of m1A with higher sensitivity and accuracy. We applied red-m1A-seq to sequence human small RNA, and we not only detected all the previously reported tRNA m1A sites, but also new m1A sites in mt-tRNAAsn-GTT and 5.8S rRNA.

Abstract
Complex biological processes are regulated by both genetic and epigenetic programs. One class of epigenetic modifications is methylation. Evolutionarily conserved methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD)-containing proteins are known as readers of DNA methylation. MBD5 is linked to multiple human diseases but its mechanism of action remains unclear. Here we report that the zebrafish Mbd5 does not bind to methylated DNA; but rather, it directly binds to 5-methylcytosine (m5C)-modified mRNAs and regulates embryonic development, erythrocyte differentiation, iron metabolism, and behavior. We further show that Mbd5 facilitates removal of the monoubiquitin mark at histone H2A-K119 through an interaction with the Polycomb repressive deubiquitinase (PR-DUB) complex in vivo. The direct target genes of Mbd5 are enriched with both RNA m5C and H2A-K119 ubiquitylation signals. Together, we propose that zebrafish MBD5 is an RNA m5C reader that potentially links RNA methylation to histone modification and in turn transcription regulation in vivo.

Abstract
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) regulate diverse cellular processes by dynamically interacting with RNA targets. However, effective methods to capture both stable and transient interactions between RBPs and their RNA targets are still lacking, especially when the interaction is dynamic or samples are limited. Here we present an assay of reverse transcription-based RBP binding site sequencing (ARTR-seq), which relies on in situ reverse transcription of RBP-bound RNAs guided by antibodies to identify RBP binding sites. ARTR-seq avoids ultraviolet crosslinking and immunoprecipitation, allowing for efficient and specific identification of RBP binding sites from as few as 20 cells or a tissue section. Taking advantage of rapid formaldehyde fixation, ARTR-seq enables capturing the dynamic RNA binding by RBPs over a short period of time, as demonstrated by the profiling of dynamic RNA binding of G3BP1 during stress granule assembly on a timescale as short as 10 minutes.

Abstract
RNA fate and function are affected by their structures and interactomes. However, how RNA and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) assemble into higher-order structures and how RNA molecules may interact with each other to facilitate functions remain largely unknown. Here we present KARR-seq, which uses N3-kethoxal labeling and multifunctional chemical crosslinkers to covalently trap and determine RNA-RNA interactions and higher-order RNA structures inside cells, independent of local protein binding to RNA. KARR-seq depicts higher-order RNA structure and detects widespread intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions with high sensitivity and accuracy. Using KARR-seq, we show that translation represses mRNA compaction under native and stress conditions. We determined the higher-order RNA structures of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and identified RNA-RNA interactions between the viruses and the host RNAs that potentially regulate viral replication.

Abstract
Activation of TGF-β signaling serves as an extrinsic resistance mechanism that limits the potential for radiotherapy. Bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) antagonizes TGF-β signaling and is implicated in cancer progression. However, the molecular mechanisms of BAMBI regulation in immune cells and its impact on antitumor immunity after radiation have not been established. Here, we show that ionizing radiation (IR) specifically reduces BAMBI expression in immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in both murine models and humans. Mechanistically, YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA-binding protein F2 (YTHDF2) directly binds and degrades Bambi transcripts in an N6-methyladenosine-dependent (m6A-dependent) manner, and this relies on NF-κB signaling. BAMBI suppresses the tumor-infiltrating capacity and suppression function of MDSCs via inhibiting TGF-β signaling. Adeno-associated viral delivery of Bambi (AAV-Bambi) to the tumor microenvironment boosts the antitumor effects of radiotherapy and radioimmunotherapy combinations. Intriguingly, combination of AAV-Bambi and IR not only improves local tumor control, but also suppresses distant metastasis, further supporting its clinical translation potential. Our findings uncover a surprising role of BAMBI in myeloid cells, unveiling a potential therapeutic strategy for overcoming extrinsic radioresistance.

Abstract
Methylation of adenosine at N1 position yields N1-methyladenosine (m1A), which is an epitranscriptomic modification that regulates mRNA metabolism. Recent studies showed that altered m1A methylation promotes acute and chronic neurological diseases. We currently evaluated the effect of focal ischemia on cerebral m1A methylome and its machinery. Adult male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion, and the peri-infarct cortex was analyzed at 12 h and 24 h of reperfusion. The bulk abundance of m1A was measured by mass spectrometry and dot blot, and transcriptome-wide m1A alterations were profiled using antibody-independent m1A-quant-seq. Expression of the m1A writers and erasers was estimated by real-time PCR. Ischemia significantly decreased m1A levels and concomitantly upregulated m1A demethylase alkB homolog 3 at 24 h of reperfusion compared to sham. Transcriptome-wide profiling showed differential m1A methylation at 14 sites (8 were hypo- and 6 were hypermethylated). Many of those are located in the 3'-UTRs of unannotated transcripts proximal to the genes involved in regulating protein complex assembly, circadian rhythms, chromatin remodeling, and chromosome organization. Using several different approaches, we show for the first time that m1A epitranscriptomic modification in RNA is highly sensitive to cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) For locally advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC), capecitabine-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is commonly used but has limited benefits. Immunotherapy is potentially effective for BTC and may be synergized with CRT. Followed by gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) consolidation chemotherapy (CT), we evaluated the safety and efficacy of combined camrelizumab and capecitabine-based CRT for locally advanced BTC. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients had stage II-III (T4N0M0, T1-4N+M0) BTC (per the 7th [2010] edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system) were eligible for CRT (capecitabine plus [50-60 Gy] radiotherapy), to be followed by GP CT. Camrelizumab was given concurrently with CRT. Safety was defined as the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), while efficacy was defined as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR). RESULTS Ten patients completed the planned treatment. None experienced grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs during CRT. Grade ≥3 immune-related AEs occurred in 2 of 10 patients (20%) only during GP CT. The mean OS time was 18.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 12.9m-23.5m) while the median OS time was 14.1 months (95% CI 10.1m-18.1m). OS rates were 100%, 59%, 44% at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, respectively. The ORR was 30% while the DCR was 90%. Two patients (20%) obtained OS over 2 years with partial response (25.9m, 29.1m). Median PFS time was 14.1 months (95% CI 9.3m-18.9m). CONCLUSION Camrelizumab in combination with concurrent CRT was well tolerated and did not impair delivery of CRT in patients with locally advanced BTC.

Abstract
METTL3 and METTL14 are two components that form the core heterodimer of the main RNA m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC) that installs m6A. Surprisingly, depletion of METTL3 or METTL14 displayed distinct effects on stemness maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC). While comparable global hypo-methylation in RNA m6A was observed in Mettl3 or Mettl14 knockout mESCs, respectively. Mettl14 knockout led to a globally decreased nascent RNA synthesis, whereas Mettl3 depletion resulted in transcription upregulation, suggesting that METTL14 might possess an m6A-independent role in gene regulation. We found that METTL14 colocalizes with the repressive H3K27me3 modification. Mechanistically, METTL14, but not METTL3, binds H3K27me3 and recruits KDM6B to induce H3K27me3 demethylation independent of METTL3. Depletion of METTL14 thus led to a global increase in H3K27me3 level along with a global gene suppression. The effects of METTL14 on regulation of H3K27me3 is essential for the transition from self-renewal to differentiation of mESCs. This work reveals a regulatory mechanism on heterochromatin by METTL14 in a manner distinct from METTL3 and independently of m6A, and critically impacts transcriptional regulation, stemness maintenance, and differentiation of mESCs.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation can be deposited on chromatin-associated RNAs (caRNAs) by the RNA methyltransferase complex (MTC) to regulate chromatin state and transcription. However, the mechanism by which MTC is recruited to distinct genomic loci remains elusive. Here we identify RBFOX2, a well-studied RNA-binding protein, as a chromatin factor that preferentially recognizes m6A on caRNAs. RBFOX2 can recruit RBM15, an MTC component, to facilitate methylation of promoter-associated RNAs. RBM15 also physically interacts with YTHDC1 and recruits polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) to the RBFOX2-bound loci for chromatin silencing and transcription suppression. Furthermore, we found that this RBFOX2/m6A/RBM15/YTHDC1/PRC2 axis plays a critical role in myeloid leukaemia. Downregulation of RBFOX2 notably inhibits survival/proliferation of acute myeloid leukaemia cells and promotes their myeloid differentiation. RBFOX2 is also required for self-renewal of leukaemia stem/initiation cells and acute myeloid leukaemia maintenance. Our study presents a pathway of m6A MTC recruitment and m6A deposition on caRNAs, resulting in locus-selective chromatin regulation, which has potential therapeutic implications in leukaemia.

Abstract
Repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here we show that N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal mRNA modification, is downregulated in C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-differentiated neurons and postmortem brain tissues. The global m6A hypomethylation leads to transcriptome-wide mRNA stabilization and upregulated gene expression, particularly for genes involved in synaptic activity and neuronal function. Moreover, the m6A modification in the C9ORF72 intron sequence upstream of the expanded repeats enhances RNA decay via the nuclear reader YTHDC1, and the antisense RNA repeats can also be regulated through m6A modification. The m6A reduction increases the accumulation of repeat RNAs and the encoded poly-dipeptides, contributing to disease pathogenesis. We further demonstrate that, by elevating m6A methylation, we could significantly reduce repeat RNA levels from both strands and the derived poly-dipeptides, rescue global mRNA homeostasis and improve survival of C9ORF72-ALS/FTD patient iPSC-derived neurons.

Abstract
N6 -methyladenosine (m6 A) in messenger RNA (mRNA) regulates immune cells in homeostasis and in response to infection and inflammation. The function of the m6 A reader YTHDF2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in these contexts has not been explored. We discovered that the loss of YTHDF2 in regulatory T (Treg) cells reduces tumor growth in mice. Deletion of Ythdf2 in Tregs does not affect peripheral immune homeostasis but leads to increased apoptosis and impaired suppressive function of Treg cells in the TME. Elevated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling in the TME promotes YTHDF2 expression, which in turn regulates NF-κB signaling by accelerating the degradation of m6 A-modified transcripts that encode NF-κB-negative regulators. This TME-specific regulation of Treg by YTHDF2 points to YTHDF2 as a potential target for anti-cancer immunotherapy, where intratumoral Treg cells can be targeted to enhance anti-tumor immune response while avoiding Treg cells in the periphery to minimize undesired inflammations.

Abstract
RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is implicated in cancer progression. However, the impact of m6A on the antitumor effects of radiotherapy and the related mechanisms are unknown. Here we show that ionizing radiation (IR) induces immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) expansion and YTHDF2 expression in both murine models and humans. Following IR, loss of Ythdf2 in myeloid cells augments antitumor immunity and overcomes tumor radioresistance by altering MDSC differentiation and inhibiting MDSC infiltration and suppressive function. The remodeling of the landscape of MDSC populations by local IR is reversed by Ythdf2 deficiency. IR-induced YTHDF2 expression relies on NF-κB signaling; YTHDF2 in turn leads to NF-κB activation by directly binding and degrading transcripts encoding negative regulators of NF-κB signaling, resulting in an IR-YTHDF2-NF-κB circuit. Pharmacological inhibition of YTHDF2 overcomes MDSC-induced immunosuppression and improves combined IR and/or anti-PD-L1 treatment. Thus, YTHDF2 is a promising target to improve radiotherapy (RT) and RT/immunotherapy combinations.

Abstract
This study followed up the immune memory after 3-dose revaccination among infants with non-and low-response following primary hepatitis B (HepB) vaccination. About 120 children without self-booster doses were finally included who had anti-HBs<10 mIU/ml (anti-HBs negative) at the time of follow-up, of whom 86 children completed blood sampling and anti-HBs testing. Before the challenge dose, all 86 children were negative for anti-HBs, and the GMC of anti-HBs was<10 mIU/ml. The seropositive conversion rate of anti-HBs was 100% and the GMC of anti-HBs was 886.11 (95%CI: 678.15-1 157.84) mIU/ml after the challenge dose. Compared with those with GMC<7 mIU/ml before the challenge dose, infants with GMC>7 mIU/ml had a higher anti-HBs level after the challenge dose. The β value (95%CI) was 0.82 (0.18-1.46) (P=0.012). Compared with those with GMC<1 000 mIU/ml at primary vaccination, infants with GMC≥1 000 mIU/ml had a higher anti-HBs level after the challenge dose. The β value (95%CI) was 0.78 (0.18-1.38)(P=0.012). The results showed a stronger immune memory was found at 9 years after revaccination among infants with non-and low-response to HepB.

Abstract
Functional characterization of pseudouridine (Ψ) in mammalian mRNA has been hampered by the lack of a quantitative method that maps Ψ in the whole transcriptome. We report bisulfite-induced deletion sequencing (BID-seq), which uses a bisulfite-mediated reaction to convert pseudouridine stoichiometrically into deletion upon reverse transcription without cytosine deamination. BID-seq enables detection of abundant Ψ sites with stoichiometry information in several human cell lines and 12 different mouse tissues using 10-20 ng input RNA. We uncover consensus sequences for Ψ in mammalian mRNA and assign different 'writer' proteins to individual Ψ deposition. Our results reveal a transcript stabilization role of Ψ sites installed by TRUB1 in human cancer cells. We also detect the presence of Ψ within stop codons of mammalian mRNA and confirm the role of Ψ in promoting stop codon readthrough in vivo. BID-seq will enable future investigations of the roles of Ψ in diverse biological processes.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant messenger RNA (mRNA) modification and plays crucial roles in diverse physiological processes. Using a massively parallel assay for m6A (MPm6A), we discover that m6A specificity is globally regulated by suppressors that prevent m6A deposition in unmethylated transcriptome regions. We identify exon junction complexes (EJCs) as m6A suppressors that protect exon junction-proximal RNA within coding sequences from methylation and regulate mRNA stability through m6A suppression. EJC suppression of m6A underlies multiple global characteristics of mRNA m6A specificity, with the local range of EJC protection sufficient to suppress m6A deposition in average-length internal exons but not in long internal and terminal exons. EJC-suppressed methylation sites colocalize with EJC-suppressed splice sites, which suggests that exon architecture broadly determines local mRNA accessibility to regulatory complexes.

Abstract
Objective: Assess the 10-year Immune persistence and the predictors after primary vaccination hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) among normal and high-responder infants. Methods: A total of 1 838 Infants of 7-12 months old located in Jinan, Weifang, Yantai and Weihai of Shandong Province who were induced normal or high antibody response (anti-HBs titer ≥ 100 mIU/ml) after primary vaccination (three dose with 0-1-6 procedure) with 5 μg recombinant HepB among newborns were included in the study, in 2009. 3 ml of venous blood samples were collected at baseline survey (T0) and antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were detected using chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) method. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect information including the infant's age, sex, birth weight, premature birth, birth number, delivery location and mother's HBV infection status. In 2014 (followed up for 5 years) and in 2019 (followed up for 10 years) (T1), 2 ml of venous blood samples were collected. Anti HBS and anti HBC were detected by CMIA method. Those with anti HBS<10 mIU/ml were detected by CMIA method. Multivariate unconditional logistic and linear regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of anti-HBs positive rate and geometric mean concentration (GMC) at T1. Results: After 10 years follow-up, 73.94% of the subjects (1 359/1 835) finished the follow-up. 51.15% of the subjects, a total of 625 were boys. The positive rate of anti-HBs was 100% at T0 and decreased to 53.44% (95%CI: 50.59%-56.26%) at T1. The average annual decline rate of anti-HBs positive rate from T0 to T1 was 6.07%. The GMC of anti-HBs decreased from 607.89 (95%CI: 579.01-642.62) mIU/ml to 16.44 (95%CI: 15.06-18.00) mIU/ml. The average annual decline rate of anti-HBs GMC in 10-year follow-up was 30.30%. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the positive rate of anti-HBs at T1 was lower in those who did not vaccinate the first dose in time (OR=0.25, 95%CI:0.07-0.71). Compared with those with GMC<1 000 mIU/ml at T0, those with GMC ≥ 1 000 mIU/ml had a higher positive rate of anti-HBs at T1 (OR=2.29, 95%CI:1.76-2.97). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the GMC of anti-HBs at T1 was lower in those who did not vaccinate the first dose in time (β=-0.50, 95%CI:-1.24-0.24). Compared with those with GMC<1 000 mIU/ml at T0, those with GMC ≥ 1 000 mIU/ml had a higher GMC of anti-HBs at T1 (β=0.81, 95%CI: 0.62-1.05). Conclusion: Anti-HBs GMC decreased in 10 years after primary vaccination of 5 μg recombinant hepatitis B vaccine among normal and high-responders. The anti-HBs persistence was mainly associated with whether the first dose was vaccinated in time and the level of anti-HBs at the end of primary vaccination.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification on mammalian messenger RNA. It is installed by a writer complex and can be reversed by erasers such as the fat mass and obesity-associated protein FTO. Despite extensive research, the primary physiological substrates of FTO in mammalian tissues and development remain elusive. Here, we show that FTO mediates m6A demethylation of long-interspersed element-1 (LINE1) RNA in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), regulating LINE1 RNA abundance and the local chromatin state, which in turn modulates the transcription of LINE1-containing genes. FTO-mediated LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation also plays regulatory roles in shaping chromatin state and gene expression during mouse oocyte and embryonic development. Our results suggest broad effects of LINE1 RNA m6A demethylation by FTO in mammals.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the intensity and epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation among inactive HBsAg carriers (IHC) of rural areas in Ji'nan. Methods: In 2018 and 2020, follow-up investigations were conducted on IHC identified in the population physical examination in Zhangqiu district of Ji'nan. The results of the two follow-up visits were compared to analyze the incidence and distribution characteristics of HBV reactivation in IHC at the community level. Results: A total of 424 IHC completed two follow-up visits, and 47 cases of HBV reactivation were found, the cumulative reactivation rate was 11.08%, and the incidence density was 5.46/100 person-years. Multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, drinking , family history of liver disease and chronic diseases were not associated with HBV reactivation (P>0.05), and baseline HBV DNA load was associated with reactivation (P<0.05), in the HBV DNA level ≥1 000 IU/ml group, the reactivation rate could reach 18.92%. After reactivation, the mean level of ALT increased from baseline and the abnormal rate increased, liver function tended to be abnormal in reactivated patients. 4 (8.51%) reactivators had hepatitis, and 1 (2.13%) had jaundice hepatitis. Conclusions: The incidence of HBV reactivation was higher among IHC in rural communities in Ji'nan. Most of the reactivators were asymptomatic or mildly reactivated. Follow-up of inactive HBsAg patients should be strengthened and changes in ALT and HBV DNA levels should be closely monitored.

Abstract
Objective: Investigate and analyze the etiology and serological diagnosis capabilities of pertussis in medical institutions in Shandong Province in 2018. Methods: Using the census method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 603 second and above level medical institutions in Shandong Province. The deadline for the survey was December 2018, and a total of 543 questionnaires have been recovered, and the validity rate of the questionnaires was 90%. Surveyed the pertussis etiology and serology test items (pertussis IgM and IgG, pertussis nucleic acid and pertussis bacterial culture) and the start time of each test item by questionnaire. The reported cases (confirmed cases and clinically diagnosed cases) between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2018 were derived from the Chinese Disease Control and Prevention Information System according to the onset date. We used indicators such as fixed-base development speed, chain development speed, and chain growth speed for analysis. The chi test was used to analyze the differences in the composition ratio of medical institutions with detection ability in different levels and regions, and analyze the changes in the number of reported cases before and after the development of pertussis etiology and serology testing. Results: A total of 543 medical institutions accounted for 90.0% (543/603) of all secondary and above level medical institutions in the province, 356 secondary medical institutions (65.6%), and 187 tertiary medical institutions (34.4%). There were 10 medical institutions that carry out pertussis IgM, IgG and nucleic acid testing, accounting for 1.8% (10/543) of the surveyed medical institutions respectively. 2 medical institutions that carried out bacterial culture, accounting for 0.4% of the surveyed medical institutions (2/543). 20 medical institutions have carried out the above tests (8 secondary medical institutions and 12 tertiary medical institutions), accounting for 3.7% (20/543). The proportion of tertiary medical institutions with pertussis IgM, IgG detection and nucleic acid detection capabilities [6.42% (12/187)] was significantly higher than that of secondary medical institutions [2.25% (8/356)] (χ²=6.01, P=0.014). From 2012 to 2018, the fixed base ratio development speed of reported cases was 3 834.69% in Shandong Province, among which medical institutions with etiology and serological testing capabilities reached 4 533.33%. In 13 medical institutions, the average annual number of reported cases after pertussis etiology and serological testing were higher than that of reported cases before testing. Conclusion: The ability of pertussis etiology and serology diagnosis of secondary and above medical institutions in Shandong Province needs to be improved.

Abstract
N6-Methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) has recently been shown to exist and play regulatory roles in eukaryotic genomic DNA (gDNA). However, the biological functions of 6mA in mammals have yet to be adequately explored, largely due to its low abundance in most mammalian genomes. Here, we report that mammalian mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is enriched for 6mA. The level of 6mA in HepG2 mtDNA is at least 1,300-fold higher than that in gDNA under normal growth conditions, corresponding to approximately four 6mA modifications on each mtDNA molecule. METTL4, a putative mammalian methyltransferase, can mediate mtDNA 6mA methylation, which contributes to attenuated mtDNA transcription and a reduced mtDNA copy number. Mechanistically, the presence of 6mA could repress DNA binding and bending by mitochondrial transcription factor (TFAM). Under hypoxia, the 6mA level in mtDNA could be further elevated, suggesting regulatory roles for 6mA in mitochondrial stress response. Our study reveals DNA 6mA as a regulatory mark in mammalian mtDNA.

Abstract
DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC)-specific mapping has been hampered by severe DNA degradation and the presence of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) using the conventional bisulfite sequencing approach. Here, we present a 5mC-specific whole-genome amplification method (5mC-WGA), with which we achieved 5mC retention during DNA amplification from limited input down to 10 pg scale with limited interference from 5hmC signals, providing DNA 5mC methylome with high reproducibility and accuracy.

Abstract
N 6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulates stability and translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) in various biological processes. In this work, we show that knockout of the m6A writer Mettl3 or the nuclear reader Ythdc1 in mouse embryonic stem cells increases chromatin accessibility and activates transcription in an m6A-dependent manner. We found that METTL3 deposits m6A modifications on chromosome-associated regulatory RNAs (carRNAs), including promoter-associated RNAs, enhancer RNAs, and repeat RNAs. YTHDC1 facilitates the decay of a subset of these m6A-modified RNAs, especially elements of the long interspersed element-1 family, through the nuclear exosome targeting-mediated nuclear degradation. Reducing m6A methylation by METTL3 depletion or site-specific m6A demethylation of selected carRNAs elevates the levels of carRNAs and promotes open chromatin state and downstream transcription. Collectively, our results reveal that m6A on carRNAs can globally tune chromatin state and transcription.

Abstract
How individual genes are regulated from a mitochondrial polycistronic transcript to have variable expression remains an enigma. Here, through bisulfite sequencing and strand-specific mapping, we show mitochondrial genomes in humans and other animals are strongly biased to light (L)-strand non-CpG methylation with conserved peak loci preferentially located at gene-gene boundaries, which was also independently validated by MeDIP and FspEI digestion. Such mtDNA methylation patterns are conserved across different species and developmental stages but display dynamic local or global changes during development and aging. Knockout of DNMT3A alone perturbed mtDNA regional methylation patterns, but not global levels, and altered mitochondrial gene expression, copy number, and oxygen respiration. Overexpression of DNMT3A strongly increased mtDNA methylation and strand bias. Overall, methylation at gene bodies and boundaries was negatively associated with mitochondrial transcript abundance and also polycistronic transcript processing. Furthermore, HPLC-MS confirmed the methylation signals on mitochondria DNA. Together, these data provide high-resolution mtDNA methylation maps that revealed a strand-specific non-CpG methylation, its dynamic regulation, and its impact on the polycistronic mitochondrial transcript processing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal barrier dysfunction is the initial event in the development of atopic dermatitis (AD). Recent studies have identified a crucial role for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) in controlling the gene expression of filaggrin and other skin barrier proteins, suggesting an underlying association between AHR and AD pathogenesis. AIM To investigate the role of AHR gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to AD and in AD-associated phenotypes. METHODS We enrolled 487 patients with AD, 210 patients with psoriasis and 226 healthy controls (HCs) from the Han Chinese population, and genotyped two AHR single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs10249788 and rs2066853) by PCR and subsequent DNA sequencing. RESULTS The AHR rs10249788 and rs2066853 polymorphisms were found in both sets of patients (AD and psoriasis) and in HCs, but no significant differences were detected in genotype or allele frequencies between the three groups. However, patients with AD with the rs10249788 (CT/TT) or rs2066853 (AG + AA) genotype were more likely to have severe dry skin scores. In the stratification analysis, the AHR rs2066853 (AG + AA) and rs10249788 (CT + TT) genotypes could predict a higher risk of severe dry skin phenotypes in the male, early-onset and allergic rhinitis subgroups. Furthermore, the combined rs10249788 (CT + TT) and rs2066853 (AG + AA) genotypes led to a higher risk for severe dry skin in patients with AD. CONCLUSION AHR polymorphisms are not associated with the risk of AD; however, they may predict a dry skin phenotype in patients with AD.

Abstract
Liver biopsy is not routinely performed in treated chronic hepatitis B. Liver stiffness measurement has been validated for noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment in pretreatment chronic hepatitis B but has not been assessed for fibrosis monitoring during antiviral therapy. Liver stiffness was systemically monitored by Fibroscan® every 6 months in a cohort of patients with hepatitis B receiving antiviral therapy and compared with liver biopsies at baseline and week 104. A total of 534 hepatitis B e antigen-positive treatment-naive patients receiving telbivudine-based therapy with qualified liver stiffness measurement at baseline and week 104 were analyzed, 164 of which had adequate paired liver biopsies. Liver stiffness decreased rapidly (-2.2 kPa/24 weeks) in parallel with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) from 8.6 (2.6-49.5) kPa at baseline to 6.1 (2.2-37.4) kPa at week 24. Interestingly, liver stiffness decreased slowly (-0.3 kPa/24 weeks) but continually from week 24 to week 104 (6.1 vs 5.3 kPa, P < .001) while ALT levels remained stable within the normal range. More importantly, liver stiffness declined significantly irrespective of baseline ALT levels and liver necroinflammation grades. From baseline to week 104, the proportion of patients with no or mild fibrosis (Ishak, 0-2) increased from 74.4% (122/164) to 93.9% (154/164). Multivariate analysis revealed that percentage decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline was independently associated with 104-week liver fibrosis regression (odds ratio, 3.742; P = .016). Early decline of 52-week liver stiffness from baseline may reflect the remission of both liver inflammation and fibrosis and was predictive of 104-week fibrosis regression in treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Abstract
Dietary interventions dramatically affect metabolic disease and lifespan in various aging models. Here, we profiled liver microRNA (miRNA), coding, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression by high-throughput deep sequencing in mice across multiple energy intake and expenditure interventions. Strikingly, three dietary intervention network design patterns were uncovered: (1) lifespan-extending interventions largely repressed the expression of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and transposable elements; (2) protein-coding mRNAs with expression positively correlated with long lifespan are highly targeted by miRNAs; and (3) miRNA-targeting interactions mainly target chromatin-related functions. We experimentally validated miR-34a, miR-107, and miR-212-3p targeting of the chromatin remodeler Chd1 and further demonstrate that Chd1 knockdown mimics high-fat diet and aging-induced gene expression changes and activation of transposons. Our findings demonstrate lifespan-extending diets repress miRNA-chromatin remodeler interactions and safeguard against deregulated transcription induced by aging and lifespan shortening diets, events linked by microRNA, chromatin, and ncRNA crosstalk.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) causes up to 1.0 million deaths annually. Currently, more than 90% of CHB patients worldwide are receiving indefinite nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy. New strategies for optimizing hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss are required for NA-treated patients as the majority are unable to achieve HBsAg loss and may require lifelong therapy. In hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive patients, switching from NAs to finite peginterferon (PegIFN) therapy can double HBeAg seroconversion rates. One in five patients who switch to PegIFN can achieve HBsAg loss, whereas patients who continue NA therapy typically do not. In HBeAg-negative NA-treated patients, add-on PegIFN therapy achieves higher, albeit modest, HBsAg loss rates compared with continued NA monotherapy and offers the opportunity for NA-treated patients to achieve the inactive carrier state. In the absence of curative therapies, PegIFN represents a valuable, finite option for NA-treated patients who would otherwise require potentially lifelong therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared dosimetry and clinical toxicity for 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-crt), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (imrt), and RapidArc (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA, U.S.A.) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer (lapcc). We hypothesized that the technique with better sparing of organs at risk (oars) and better target dose distributions could lead to decreased clinical toxicity. METHODS The study analyzed 280 patients with lapcc who had undergone radiotherapy. The dosimetry comparison was performed using 20 of those patients. Dose-volume histograms for the target volume and the oars were compared. The clinical toxicity comparison used the 280 patients who received radiation with 3D-crt, imrt, or RapidArc. RESULTS Compared with 3D-crt, RapidArc and imrt both achieved a better conformal index, homogeneity index, V95%, and V110%. Compared with 3D-crt or imrt, RapidArc reduced the V10, V20, and mean dose to duodenum, the V20 of the right kidney, and the liver mean dose. Compared with 3D-crt, RapidArc reduced the V35, and V45 of duodenum, the mean dose to small bowel, and the V15 of right kidney. The incidences of grades 3 and 4 diarrhea (p = 0.037) and anorexia (p = 0.042) were lower with RapidArc than with 3D-crt, and the incidences of grades 3 and 4 diarrhea (p = 0.027) were lower with RapidArc than with imrt. CONCLUSIONS Compared with 3D-crt or imrt, RapidArc showed better sparing of oars, especially duodenum, small bowel, and right kidney. Also, fewer acute grades 3 and 4 gastrointestinal toxicities were seen with RapidArc than with 3D-crt or imrt. A technique with better sparing of oars and better target dose distributions could result in decreased clinical toxicities during radiation treatment for lapcc.

Abstract
Histamine, mainly produced by mast cells, is an important inflammatory mediator in immune response. Recently Histamine H4 Receptor (H4R) was also identified in mast cells, from which pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines are released. However, the mechanism of how H4R mediates these cytokines and chemokines release in mast cells was still unclear. To further explore the role of H4R in the immune inflammatory response in mast cells, we tested the release of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the relevant signaling pathways activated by H4R on LAD2 cells (a human mast cell line). We found that the release of IL-8 and TNF-α were blocked by inhibitors of PI3K, ERK and Ca2+-Calcineurin-NFAT signaling pathways, while the release of these cytokines and chemokines were enhanced by the inhibitor of P38 signaling pathway. However, inhibitors of the JNK and NF-κB signaling pathways had little effect on the expression of the pro-inflammatory mediators. Moreover, activation of the H4R could induce phosphorylation of ERK, p38 and AKT in mast cells. In conclusion, we found that H4R mediates the release of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and chemokine IL-8 in human mast cells via PI3K, Ca2+-Calcineurin-NFAT and MAPKs signaling pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to explore the effects of apolipoprotein e (ApoE) on intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)]i) and apoptosis of neurons after mechanical injury in vitro. METHODS A neuron mechanical injury model was established after primary neurons obtained from APOE knockout and wild-type (WT) mice, and four experimental groups were generated: Group-ApoE4, Group-ApoE3, Group-ApoE(-) and Group-WT. Recombinant ApoE4 and ApoE3 were added to Group-ApoE4 and Group-ApoE3 respectively, and Group-ApoE(-) and Group-WT were control groups. Intracellular calcium was labeled by fluo-3/AM and examined using laser scanning confocal microscope and flow cytometry, and the apoptosis of neurons was also evaluated. RESULTS The intracellular calcium levels and apoptosis rates of mice neurons were significantly higher in Group-ApoE4 than in Group-ApoE3 and Group-WT after mechanical injury. However, without mechanical injury on neurons, no significant differences in intracellular calcium levels and apoptosis rates were found among all four experimental groups. The effects of ApoE4 on intracellular calcium levels and apoptosis rates of injured neurons were partly decreased by EGTA treatment. CONCLUSION Compared with ApoE3-treatment and WT neurons, ApoE4 caused higher intracellular calcium levels and apoptosis rates of neurons after mechanical injury. This suggested APOE polymorphisms may affect neuron apoptosis after mechanical injury through different influences on intracellular calcium levels.

Abstract
Epigenetic modification as an intrinsic fine-tune program cooperates with key transcription factors to regulate the cell fate determination. The histone acetylation participating in neural differentiation of pluripotent stem cells is expected but not well studied. Here, using acetylated histone H3 ChIP-sequencing (ChIP-seq), we demonstrate that the histone H3 acetylation level is gradually increased on the neural gene loci while decreased on the neural-inhibitory gene loci during mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) neural differentiation. We further show that histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is essential for neural commitment by targeting Nodal signaling. Thus, our study reveals a mechanism by which the epigenetic modification of histone acetylation/deacetylation interacts with extracellular signaling in mESC neural fate determination. Data were deposited in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets under reference number GSE66025.

Abstract
Tumor vascular targeting is one of the most promising strategies in tumor therapy. Here we used E.coli to express a recombinant SP5.2/tTF fusion protein, which, as a tumor vascular targeting agent, consists of SP5.2 (a peptide selectively binding and targeting VEGFR-1 on tumor endothelial cells) and truncated tissue factor (tTF)and aimed to explore its anti-tumor activities.The SP5.2/tTF expression construct was synthesized by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and recombined into plasmid pET22b(+). The fusion gene was verified by restriction mapping and sequencing. SP5.2/tTF was expressed in E. coli and then purified on a nickel-affinity chromatography column. The purified product was detected by SDS-PAGE. The pro-coagulant activity and binding of SP5.2/tTF to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were monitored by FX activation analysis and fluorescent scanning confocal microscopy, respectively. The effect of SP5.2/tTF on tumor growth was analyzed in BALB/c mice bearing sarcoma 180 (S180) tumor. The tissue localization of SP5.2/tTF and its effect on tumor vessel thrombosis were observed by in vivo fluorescence imaging and histological studies, respectively. The fusion gene was successfully cloned into pET22b(+). SP5.2/tTF was abundantly expressed in bacterial cells and efficiently purified by nickel-affinity chromatography. Functional studies showed that the protein retained both the coagulation activity of tTF and the binding capacity of SP5.2 to HUVECs. In tumor xenograft studies, SP5.2/tTF selectively targeted the tumor, induced thrombosis, and led to retardation and even regression of tumor growth (growth inhibition ratio = 70%, P< 0.05). The recombinant fusion protein SP5.2/tTF inhibited tumor growth by selectively inducing thrombosis in tumor blood vessels.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we developed and validated a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for Salmonella detection targeting bcfD gene, a conserved fimbrial operon gene existing in Salmonella. The Salmonella LAMP assay we developed successfully amplified 44 Salmonella strains (14 standard strains and 30 clinical isolates), but none of 9 non-Salmonella standard strains (Proteus mirabilis, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Campylobacter jejuni and Vibrio parahemolyticus). The detection limit was 5 CFU of Salmonella pure culture or 200 CFU of artificially spiked faeces per reaction system (equivalent to 5000 CFU g(-1) of faeces), and this method could directly detect Salmonella in chicken faeces free of pre-enrichment in a reaction time of 25 min. Our experiments show that the LAMP method we developed is a rapid, sensitive, specific and practical method for Salmonella detection. The Salmonella LAMP assay can potentially serve as new on-site diagnostics in the food and agricultural industries.
