N-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of mRNAs is involved in multiple essential biological processes, dynamically regulated by m6A "writers", "erasers", and "readers". Yet, the detailed functional roles of RNA m6A reader proteins, such as YTHDFs, are largely unknown. Herein we show that YTHDF1 promotes pro-inflammatory IL-1β production in macrophages during bacterial infections. YTHDF1 overexpression promotes NLRP3 translation. In vivo knockdown of YTHDF1 facilitates survival in a mouse model of sepsis. Thus, YTHDF1 participates in inflammatory responses and subsequent injuries, serving as a new potential therapeutic target in clinical treatment of inflammatory diseases.

CDK4/6i, the first-line drug for treating ERα-positive breast cancer, significantly improves clinical outcomes. However, CDK4/6i resistance often develops and remains a major hurdle, and the underlying mechanisms remain challenging to fully investigate. Here, we used Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 library screening combined with single-cell sequencing to screen for molecules mediating CDK4/6i resistance and identified METTL14 as a determinant of CDK4/6i sensitivity.

The balance between CD8 T cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) therapy in gastric carcinoma (GC). However, related factors leading to the disturbance of TME and resistance to ICI therapy remain unknown. In this study, we applied N6-methyladenosine (m6A) small RNA Epitranscriptomic Microarray and screened out 3'tRF-AlaAGC based on its highest differential expression level and lowest inter-group variance.

Here, we developed nanobody-assisted nanoluciferase fragment complementation for in situ measurement and visualization of endogenous protein-protein interaction (NanaPPI). When an interaction occurs, primary antibodies for two proteins bring the proximity of secondary nanobody-fused small/large fragment to reassemble into an intact NanoLuc variant, thus transforming interaction events to luminescent signals in situ with high sensitivity. Compared to proximity ligation assay, NanaPPI has a similar signal-to-background ratio, but it is more convenient with faster procedures, easier readout and lower cost.

Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) has been validated to be a crucial regulator in the tumorigenesis and advancement of diverse malignancies. This study intended to probe the impacts of WTAP on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression from the perspective of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. The differential expression patterns of WTAP in clinical CRC samples and cultured cell lines were validated via qRT-PCR and western blot.
