Published: April 2022

RNA modifications can influence gene expression via multiple aspects such as RNA stability and alternative splicing. The most prominent RNA modification is m6A (N6-methyladenosine). Its profiling from low starting amounts of <100 cells is challenging. We describe here a complete workflow from cell isolation to data analysis that is based on using an RNA CUT&RUN-supported m6A-RIP (RNA immunoprecipitation) procedure and a subsequent adaptor-tagging library synthesis. Male meiocytes isolated from maize anthers were used as a test system to establish the protocol.

To date, over 170 different kinds of chemical modifications on RNAs have been identified, some of which are involved in multiple aspects of RNA fate, ranging from RNA processing, nuclear export, translation, and RNA decay. mA, also known as -methyladenosine, is a prominent internal RNA modification that is catalyzed primarily by the METTL3-METTL14-WTAP methyltransferase complex in higher eukaryotic mRNA and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). In recent years, abnormal mA modification has been linked to the occurrence, development, progression, and prognosis of the majority of cancers.

Infectious bursal disease virus affecting interferon regulatory factor 7 signaling through VP3 protein to facilitate viral replication.

Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7)-mediated type I interferon antiviral response is crucial for regulating the host following viral infection in chickens. Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a double-stranded RNA virus that induces immune suppression and high mortality rates in chickens aged 3-6 weeks. Previous studies have shown that IBDV infection antagonizes the type I interferon production to facilitate viral replication in the cell, and IRF7 signaling might play an important role.

Colonic stem cell from severe ulcerative colitis maintains environment-independent immune activation by altering chromatin accessibility and global mA loss.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of colon, which is characterized by cryptarchitectural distortion. Alternation of colonic stem cell (CoSC) contributed to the occurrence of UC, yet the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the dysregulation of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, we performed RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and mA meRIP-seq analysis of the cultured CoSCs that were isolated from UC patients.

functional validation of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cells expressing lysine-specific demethylase 1 short hairpin RNA for the treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is more effective in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) than other therapies, but a high proportion of patients relapse after CAR-T cell therapy owing to antigen escape, limited persistence of CAR-T cells, and immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment. CAR-T cell exhaustion is a major cause of relapse. Epigenetic modifications can regulate T cell activation, maturation and depletion; they can be applied to reduce T cell depletion, improve infiltration, and promote memory phenotype formation to reduce relapse after CAR-T cell therapy.
