The pThioHisA plasmid, encoding Trx-A9R and ClyA-B6R-M1R fusion proteins, was transformed into Δ lpxM Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (ΔEcN). OMVs were harvested via ultracentrifugation.

Article Title: Targeting Mettl8-Tcf1 axis promotes CD8 + T PEX differentiation and antitumor immunity

doi: 10.1084/jem.20250424

Figure Lengend Snippet: Mettl8 promotes m 3 C modification of Tcf7 mRNA and its genome-specific loops of Tox in CD8 + T cells. (A) Venn plot illustrates the overlap of downregulated genes from RNA-seq, m 3 C-seq, and Mettl8-binding genes from RIP-seq. (B) Mettl8 occupancy at the Tcf7 gene loci is revealed through m 3 C-seq (WT and Mettl8 −/− ) of EG7-OVA tumor-infiltrating OT-I cells and RIP-seq (Mettl8-tdTomato-Flag) of B16F10 tumor-infiltrating CD44 + CD8 + T cells. The binding peaks on Tcf7 loci are depicted. The m 3 C tracks are all plotted on a consistent scale. (C) The RNA decay assay demonstrates the remaining Tcf7 mRNA of CD8 + T cells from the spleens of WT and Mettl8 −/− mice detected by qRT-PCR, normalized to t = 0. (D) Heatmaps display changes in total Tcf1-targeting genes between WT and Mettl8 −/− EG7-OVA tumor-infiltrating OT-I cells and Mettl8-targeting genes in B16F10 tumor-infiltrating CD44 + CD8 + T cells of Mettl8-tdTomato-Flag mice as detected by CUT&Tag. (E) Diamond graphs exhibit chromatin interactions in WT and Mettl8 −/− tumor-infiltrating OT-I cells at the Tox gene loci (top), with CUT&Tag and ATAC-seq tracks, and gene structures on the bottom. An enlarged view highlights the signal profiles across the Tox gene region. (F) co-IP of Tcf1 by anti-Flag magnetic beads in CD3 + T cells from the spleens of Mettl8-tdTomato-Flag (RPT) and WT mice. IB, immunoblot. (G) co-IP of Tcf1 by Flag-tagged Mettl8 protein with anti-Flag magnetic beads after co-transfection into HEK293T cells. (H) Single-cell transcription levels of representative genes illustrated in the UMAP plot. Transcription levels are color coded: gray, not expressed; blue, expressed. (I) Schematic diagram of the tumor model: Mettl8 fl/fl Cd4 cre mice were subcutaneously injected with 2 × 10 5 B16F10 cells and harvested after 13 days. (J) Representative flow cytometry plots and cumulative data show the frequency of Tcf1 + Tox + cells gated on tumor-infiltrating CD8 + CD44 + T cells (right). n = 6 per group. (K) Schematic diagram of the OT-I–transferred tumor model: CD45.1 mice were subcutaneously injected with 2 × 10 5 EG7-OVA cells, followed by 2 × 10 6 WT or Mettl8 −/− OT-I cells transfer at 9 dpi. Mice were harvested at 21 dpi. Representative flow cytometry plots and cumulative data show the frequency of Tox + cells gated on Tcf1 + OT-I cells. n = 6 per group. (L) The MFI of Tox gated on Tcf1 + OT-I cells of the mice in K. n = 6 per group. Data are representative of two independent experiments. P value was calculated by two-tailed Student’s t test; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ****P < 0.0001. Source data are available for this figure: .
