Detecting Tumor Antigen-Specific T Cells via Interaction-Dependent Fucosyl-Biotinylation.

Re-activation and clonal expansion of tumor-specific antigen (TSA)-reactive T cells are critical to the success of checkpoint blockade and adoptive transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-based therapies. There are no reliable markers to specifically identify the repertoire of TSA-reactive T cells due to their heterogeneous composition. We introduce FucoID as a general platform to detect endogenous antigen-specific T cells for studying their biology. Through this interaction-dependent labeling approach, intratumoral TSA-reactive CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and TSA-suppressive CD4+ T cells can be detected and separated from bystander T cells based on their cell-surface enzymatic fucosyl-biotinylation. Compared to bystander TILs, TSA-reactive TILs possess a distinct T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and unique gene features. Although exhibiting a dysfunctional phenotype, TSA-reactive CD8+ TILs possess substantial capabilities of proliferation and tumor-specific killing. Featuring genetic manipulation-free procedures and a quick turnover cycle, FucoID should have the potential of accelerating the pace of personalized cancer treatment.

Single-Cell Profiling of Ebola Virus Disease In Vivo Reveals Viral and Host Dynamics.

Ebola virus (EBOV) causes epidemics with high mortality yet remains understudied due to the challenge of experimentation in high-containment and outbreak settings. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomics and CyTOF-based single-cell protein quantification to characterize peripheral immune cells during EBOV infection in rhesus monkeys. We obtained 100,000 transcriptomes and 15,000,000 protein profiles, finding that immature, proliferative monocyte-lineage cells with reduced antigen-presentation capacity replace conventional monocyte subsets, while lymphocytes upregulate apoptosis genes and decline in abundance. By quantifying intracellular viral RNA, we identify molecular determinants of tropism among circulating immune cells and examine temporal dynamics in viral and host gene expression. Within infected cells, EBOV downregulates STAT1 mRNA and interferon signaling, and it upregulates putative pro-viral genes (e.g., DYNLL1 and HSPA5), nominating pathways the virus manipulates for its replication. This study sheds light on EBOV tropism, replication dynamics, and elicited immune response and provides a framework for characterizing host-virus interactions under maximum containment.

Somatic hypermutation introduces bystander mutations that prepare SARS-CoV-2 antibodies for emerging variants.

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) drives affinity maturation and continues over months in SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). However, several potent SARS-CoV-2 antibodies carry no or only a few mutations, leaving the question of how ongoing SHM affects neutralization unclear. Here, we reverted variable region mutations of 92 antibodies and tested their impact on SARS-CoV-2 binding and neutralization. Reverting higher numbers of mutations correlated with decreasing antibody functionality. However, for some antibodies, including antibodies of the public clonotype VH1-58, neutralization of Wu01 remained unaffected. Although mutations were dispensable for Wu01-induced VH1-58 antibodies to neutralize Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants, they were critical for Omicron BA.1/BA.2 neutralization. We exploited this knowledge to convert the clinical antibody tixagevimab into a BA.1/BA.2 neutralizer. These findings broaden our understanding of SHM as a mechanism that not only improves antibody responses during affinity maturation but also contributes to antibody diversification, thus increasing the chances of neutralizing viral escape variants.

Viral infection engenders bona fide and bystander subsets of lung-resident memory B cells through a permissive mechanism.

Lung-resident memory B cells (MBCs) provide localized protection against reinfection in respiratory airways. Currently, the biology of these cells remains largely unexplored. Here, we combined influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infection with fluorescent-reporter mice to identify MBCs regardless of antigen specificity. We found that two main transcriptionally distinct subsets of MBCs colonized the lung peribronchial niche after infection. These subsets arose from different progenitors and were both class switched, somatically mutated, and intrinsically biased in their differentiation fate toward plasma cells. Combined analysis of antigen specificity and B cell receptor repertoire segregated these subsets into "bona fide" virus-specific MBCs and "bystander" MBCs with no apparent specificity for eliciting viruses generated through an alternative permissive process. Thus, diverse transcriptional programs in MBCs are not linked to specific effector fates but rather to divergent strategies of the immune system to simultaneously provide rapid protection from reinfection while diversifying the initial B cell repertoire.

Longitudinal analysis reveals that delayed bystander CD8+ T cell activation and early immune pathology distinguish severe COVID-19 from mild disease.

The kinetics of the immune changes in COVID-19 across severity groups have not been rigorously assessed. Using immunophenotyping, RNA sequencing, and serum cytokine analysis, we analyzed serial samples from 207 SARS-CoV2-infected individuals with a range of disease severities over 12 weeks from symptom onset. An early robust bystander CD8+ T cell immune response, without systemic inflammation, characterized asymptomatic or mild disease. Hospitalized individuals had delayed bystander responses and systemic inflammation that was already evident near symptom onset, indicating that immunopathology may be inevitable in some individuals. Viral load did not correlate with this early pathological response but did correlate with subsequent disease severity. Immune recovery is complex, with profound persistent cellular abnormalities in severe disease correlating with altered inflammatory responses, with signatures associated with increased oxidative phosphorylation replacing those driven by cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-6. These late immunometabolic and immune defects may have clinical implications.

Competition for Active TGFß Cytokine Allows for Selective Retention of Antigen-Specific Tissue- Resident Memory T Cells in the Epidermal Niche.

Following antigen-driven expansion in lymph node, transforming growth factor-ß (TGFß) is required for differentiation of skin-recruited CD8+ T cell effectors into epidermal resident memory T (Trm) cells and their epidermal persistence. We found that the source of TGFß -supporting Trm cells was autocrine. In addition, antigen-specific Trm cells that encountered cognate antigen in the skin, and bystander Trm cells that did not, both displayed long-term persistence in the epidermis under steady-state conditions. However, when the active-TGFß was limited or when new T cell clones were recruited into the epidermis, antigen-specific Trm cells were more efficiently retained than bystander Trm cells. Genetically enforced TGFßR signaling allowed bystander Trm cells to persist in the epidermis as efficiently as antigen-specific Trm cells in both contexts. Thus, competition between T cells for active TGFß represents an unappreciated selective pressure that promotes the accumulation and persistence of antigen-specific Trm cells in the epidermal niche.

Innate-like Cytotoxic Function of Bystander-Activated CD8+ T Cells Is Associated with Liver Injury in Acute Hepatitis A.

Acute hepatitis A (AHA) involves severe CD8+ T cell-mediated liver injury. Here we showed during AHA, CD8+ T cells specific to unrelated viruses became activated. Hepatitis A virus (HAV)-infected cells produced IL-15 that induced T cell receptor (TCR)-independent activation of memory CD8+ T cells. TCR-independent activation of non-HAV-specific CD8+ T cells were detected in patients, as indicated by NKG2D upregulation, a marker of TCR-independent T cell activation by IL-15. CD8+ T cells derived from AHA patients exerted innate-like cytotoxicity triggered by activating receptors NKG2D and NKp30 without TCR engagement. We demonstrated that the severity of liver injury in AHA patients correlated with the activation of HAV-unrelated virus-specific CD8+ T cells and the innate-like cytolytic activity of CD8+ T cells, but not the activation of HAV-specific T cells. Thus, host injury in AHA is associated with innate-like cytotoxicity of bystander-activated CD8+ T cells, a result with implications for acute viral diseases.

SIDT2 Transports Extracellular dsRNA into the Cytoplasm for Innate Immune Recognition.

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is a common by-product of viral infections and acts as a potent trigger of antiviral immunity. In the nematode C. elegans, sid-1 encodes a dsRNA transporter that is highly conserved throughout animal evolution, but the physiological role of SID-1 and its orthologs remains unclear. Here, we show that the mammalian SID-1 ortholog, SIDT2, is required to transport internalized extracellular dsRNA from endocytic compartments into the cytoplasm for immune activation. Sidt2-deficient mice exposed to extracellular dsRNA, encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) show impaired production of antiviral cytokines and-in the case of EMCV and HSV-1-reduced survival. Thus, SIDT2 has retained the dsRNA transport activity of its C. elegans ortholog, and this transport is important for antiviral immunity.

TCTP regulates genotoxic stress and tumorigenicity via intercellular vesicular signaling.

Oncogenic intercellular signaling is regulated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), but the underlying mechanisms remain mostly unclear. Since TCTP (translationally controlled tumor protein) is an EV component, we investigated whether it has a role in genotoxic stress signaling and malignant transformation. By generating a Tctp-inducible knockout mouse model (Tctp-/f-), we report that Tctp is required for genotoxic stress-induced apoptosis signaling via small EVs (sEVs). Human breast cancer cells knocked-down for TCTP show impaired spontaneous EV secretion, thereby reducing sEV-dependent malignant growth. Since Trp53-/- mice are prone to tumor formation, we derived tumor cells from Trp53-/-;Tctp-/f- double mutant mice and describe a drastic decrease in tumori-genicity with concomitant decrease in sEV secretion and content. Remarkably, Trp53-/-;Tctp-/f- mice show highly prolonged survival. Treatment of Trp53-/- mice with sertraline, which inhibits TCTP function, increases their survival. Mechanistically, TCTP binds DDX3, recruiting RNAs, including miRNAs, to sEVs. Our findings establish TCTP as an essential protagonist in the regulation of sEV-signaling in the context of apoptosis and tumorigenicity.

Frequency of bystander exposure to antibiotics for enteropathogenic bacteria among young children in low-resource settings.

Children in low-resource settings carry enteric pathogens asymptomatically and are frequently treated with antibiotics, resulting in opportunities for pathogens to be exposed to antibiotics when not the target of treatment (i.e., bystander exposure). We quantified the frequency of bystander antibiotic exposures for enteric pathogens and estimated associations with resistance among children in eight low-resource settings. We analyzed 15,697 antibiotic courses from 1,715 children aged 0 to 2 y from the MAL-ED birth cohort. We calculated the incidence of bystander exposures and attributed exposures to respiratory and diarrheal illnesses. We associated bystander exposure with phenotypic susceptibility of E. coli isolates in the 30 d following exposure and at the level of the study site. There were 744.1 subclinical pathogen exposures to antibiotics per 100 child-years. Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli was the most frequently exposed pathogen, with 229.6 exposures per 100 child-years. Almost all antibiotic exposures for Campylobacter (98.8%), enterotoxigenic E. coli (95.6%), and typical enteropathogenic E. coli (99.4%), and the majority for Shigella (77.6%), occurred when the pathogens were not the target of treatment. Respiratory infections accounted for half (49.9%) and diarrheal illnesses accounted for one-fourth (24.6%) of subclinical enteric bacteria exposures to antibiotics. Bystander exposure of E. coli to class-specific antibiotics was associated with the prevalence of phenotypic resistance at the community level. Antimicrobial stewardship and illness-prevention interventions among children in low-resource settings would have a large ancillary benefit of reducing bystander selection that may contribute to antimicrobial resistance.

Adenine base editor-based correction of the cardiac pathogenic Lmna c.1621C > T mutation in murine hearts.

Base editors are emerging as powerful tools to correct single-nucleotide variants and treat genetic diseases. In particular, the adenine base editors (ABEs) exhibit robust and accurate adenine-to-guanidine editing capacity and have entered the clinical stage for cardiovascular therapy. Despite the tremendous progress using ABEs to treat heart diseases, a standard technical route toward successful ABE-based therapy remains to be fully established. In this study, we harnessed adeno-associated virus (AAV) and a mouse model carrying the cardiomyopathy-causing Lmna c.1621C > T mutation to demonstrate key steps and concerns in designing a cardiac ABE experiment in vivo. We found DeepABE as a reliable deep-learning-based model to predict ABE editing outcomes in the heart. Screening of sgRNAs for a Cas9 mutant with relieved protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) allowed the reduction of bystander editing. The ABE editing efficiency can be significantly enhanced by modifying the TadA and Cas9 variants, which are core components of ABEs. The ABE systems can be delivered into the heart via either dual AAV or all-in-one AAV vectors. Together, this study showcased crucial technical considerations in designing an ABE system for the heart and pointed out major challenges in further improvement of this new technology for gene therapy.

Primary cilium participates in radiation-induced bystander effects through TGF-ß1 signaling.

Many studies have indicated that tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) signaling mediates radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBEs). The primary cilium (PC) coordinates several signaling pathways including TGF-ß signaling to regulate diverse cellular processes. But whether the PC participates in TGF-ß induced RIBEs remains unclear. The cellular levels of TGF-ß1 were detected by western blot analysis and the secretion of TGF-ß1 was measured by ELISA kit. The ciliogenesis was altered by CytoD treatment, STIL siRNA transfection, IFT88 siRNA transfection, or KIF3a siRNA transfection, separately, and was detected by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining. G0 /G1 phase cells were arrested by serum starvation and S phase cells were induced by double thymidine block. The TGF-ß1 signaling was interfered by LY2109761, a TGF-ß receptor 1 (TßR1) inhibitor, or TGF-ß1 neutral antibody. The DNA damages were induced by TGF-ß1 or radiated conditional medium (RCM) from irradiated cells and were reflected by p21 expression, 53BP1 foci, and γH2AX foci. Compared with unirradiated control, both A549 and Beas-2B cells expressed and secreted more TGF-ß1 after carbon ion beam or X-ray irradiation. RCM collected from irradiated cells or TGF-ß1 treatment caused an increase of DNA damage in cocultured unirradiated Beas-2B cells while blockage of TGF-ß signaling by TßR1 inhibitor or TGF-ß1 neutral antibody alleviates this phenomenon. IFT88 siRNA or KIF3a siRNA impaired PC formation resulted in an aggravated DNA damage in bystander cells, while elevated PC formation by CytoD or STIL siRNA resulted in a decrease of DNA damage. Furthermore, TGF-ß1 induced more DNA damages in S phases cells which showed lower PC formation rate and less DNA damages in G0 /G1 phase cells which showed higher PC formation rate. This study demonstrates the particular role of primary cilia during RCM induced DNA damages through TGF-ß1 signaling restriction and thereby provides a functional link between primary cilia and RIBEs.

Bystander activation of tissue-resident memory CD4 T cells: Getting by with a little help from unfamiliar T-cell friends.

Reexposure to a pathogen triggers the activation of memory T cells that have already encountered a similar microbe. These long-lived CD4 T cells either circulate through the blood and tissues or reside within organs and are referred to as tissue-resident T cells (CD4 TRM ). In the current issue of the European Journal of Immunology [Eur. J. Immunol. 2023. 53: 2250247] issue, Curham et al. found that tissue-resident memory CD4 T cells in the lung and nasal tissues can respond to noncognate immune challenges. CD4 TRM cells, which were formed in response to Bordetella pertussis, proliferated and produced IL-17A in response to a secondary challenge with heat-killed Klebsiella pneumonia or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This bystander response depends on the presence of dendritic cells that provide inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, post K. pneumonia, intranasal immunization with whole cell pertussis vaccine reduced bacterial burden in the nasal tissue in a CD4 T-cell-dependent manner. The study indicates that the noncognate activation of TRM may serve as an innate-like immune response that rapidly develops before establishing a new pathogen-specific adaptive immune response.

The influence of radiation-induced bystander effect in osteoblasts mediated by plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs).

OBJECTIVES: Head and neck tumor patients may develop post-radiotherapy diseases after radiotherapy treatment. And radiotherapy can elicit radiation-induced bystander effect, wherein extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role. For normal parts of the body that have not been directly irradiated, the effect of EVs on them needs to be further explored. This study aims to investigate the functions of plasma-derived EVs in regulating normal osteoblasts during radiation-induced bystander effects. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Rat plasma-derived EVs were isolated and identified firstly, followed by an evaluation of their intracellular biological effects on normal osteoblasts in vitro. Transcriptome sequencing analysis and confirmations were performed to identify potential mechanisms. RESULTS: Irradiated plasma-derived EVs were found to enhance osteoblast proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression, concurrently suppressing the expression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins. Furthermore, these EVs attenuated the expression of osteogenesis and oxidative stress resistance related genes, while upregulating the PI3K-AKT pathway and intracellular reactive oxygen species in osteoblasts. CONCLUSIONS: Irradiated plasma-derived EVs could alter the biological effects in osteoblasts, which is closely associated with the levels of GPX1 and the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. This suggests that plasma-derived EVs serve as a crucial factor contributing to radiation-induced bystander effect in osteoblasts.

RAndomized Cluster Evaluation of Cardiac ARrest Systems (RACE-CARS) trial: Study Rationale and Design.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurs in nearly 350,000 people each year in the United States (US). Despite advances in pre- and in-hospital care, OHCA survival remains low and is highly variable across systems and regions. The critical barrier to improving cardiac arrest outcomes is not a lack of knowledge about effective interventions, but rather the widespread lack of systems of care to deliver interventions known to be successful. The RAndomized Cluster Evaluation of Cardiac ARrest Systems (RACE-CARS) trial is a 7-year pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial of 60 counties (57 clusters) in North Carolina using an established registry and is testing whether implementation of a customized set of strategically targeted community-based interventions improves survival to hospital discharge with good neurologic function in OHCA relative to control/standard care. The multi-faceted intervention comprises rapid cardiac arrest recognition and systematic bystander CPR instructions by 9-1-1 telecommunicators, comprehensive community CPR training and enhanced early automated external defibrillator (AED) use prior to emergency medical systems (EMS) arrival. Approximately 20,000 patients are expected to be enrolled in the RACE CARS Trial over 4 years of the assessment period. The primary endpoint is survival to hospital discharge with good neurologic outcome defined as a cerebral performance category (CPC) of 1 or 2. Secondary outcomes include the rate of bystander CPR, defibrillation prior to arrival of EMS, and quality of life. We aim to identify successful community- and systems-based strategies to improve outcomes of OHCA using a cluster randomized-controlled trial design that aims to provide a high level of evidence for future application.

Close contacts of xenograft recipients: Ethical considerations due to risk of xenozoonosis.

With decades of pre-clinical studies culminating in the recent clinical application of xenotransplantation, it would appear timely to provide recommendations for operationalizing oversight of xenotransplantation clinical trials. Ethical issues with clinical xenotransplantation have been described for decades, largely centering on animal welfare, the risks posed to the recipient, and public health risks posed by potential spread of xenozoonosis. Much less attention has been given to considerations relating to potentially elevated risks faced by those who may care for or otherwise have close contact with xenograft recipients. This paper examines the ethical and logistical issues raised by the potential exposure to xenozoonotic disease faced by close contacts of xenotransplant recipients-defined herein as including but not limited to caregivers, household contacts, and sexual partners-which warrants special attention given their increased risk of exposure to infection compared to the general public. We discuss implications of assent or consent by these close contacts to potentially undergo, along with the recipient, procedures for infection screening and possible quarantine. We then propose several options and recommendations for operationalizing oversight of xenotransplantation clinical trials that could account for and address close contacts' education on and agency regarding the risk of xenozoonosis.

Pressing ethical issues relating to clinical pig organ transplantation studies.

Clinical pig heart transplant experiments have been undertaken, and further clinical experiments and/or clinical trials of gene-edited pig organ xenotransplantation are anticipated. The ethical issues relating to xenotransplantation have been discussed for decades but with little resolution. Consideration of certain ethical issues is more urgent than others, and the need to attain consensus is important. These issues include: (i) patient selection criteria for expanded access and/or clinical trials; (ii) appropriate protection of the patient from xenozoonoses, that is, infections caused by pig microorganisms transferred with the organ graft, (iii) minimization of the risk of a xenozoonosis to bystanders, and (iv) the need for additional public perception studies. We discuss why it is important and urgent to achieve consensus on these ethical issues prior to carrying out further expanded access experiments or initiating formal clinical trials. The ways forward on each issue are proposed.

DAMP-ing IBD: Extinguish the Fire and Prevent Smoldering.

In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), the most promising therapies targeting cytokines or immune cell trafficking demonstrate around 40% efficacy. As IBD is a multifactorial inflammation of the intestinal tract, a single-target approach is unlikely to solve this problem, necessitating an alternative strategy that addresses its variability. One approach often overlooked by the pharmaceutically driven therapeutic options is to address the impact of environmental factors. This is somewhat surprising considering that IBD is increasingly viewed as a condition heavily influenced by such factors, including diet, stress, and environmental pollution-often referred to as the "Western lifestyle". In IBD, intestinal responses result from a complex interplay among the genetic background of the patient, molecules, cells, and the local inflammatory microenvironment where danger- and microbe-associated molecular patterns (D/MAMPs) provide an adjuvant-rich environment. Through activating DAMP receptors, this array of pro-inflammatory factors can stimulate, for example, the NLRP3 inflammasome-a major amplifier of the inflammatory response in IBD, and various immune cells via non-specific bystander activation of myeloid cells (e.g., macrophages) and lymphocytes (e.g., tissue-resident memory T cells). Current single-target biological treatment approaches can dampen the immune response, but without reducing exposure to environmental factors of IBD, e.g., by changing diet (reducing ultra-processed foods), the adjuvant-rich landscape is never resolved and continues to drive intestinal mucosal dysregulation. Thus, such treatment approaches are not enough to put out the inflammatory fire. The resultant smoldering, low-grade inflammation diminishes physiological resilience of the intestinal (micro)environment, perpetuating the state of chronic disease. Therefore, our hypothesis posits that successful interventions for IBD must address the complexity of the disease by simultaneously targeting all modifiable aspects: innate immunity cytokines and microbiota, adaptive immunity cells and cytokines, and factors that relate to the (micro)environment. Thus the disease can be comprehensively treated across the nano-, meso-, and microscales, rather than with a focus on single targets. A broader perspective on IBD treatment that also includes options to adapt the DAMPing (micro)environment is warranted.

Preventing Sexual Harm in Nightlife Settings: A Scoping Review.

Sexual harm within nightlife settings is a pervasive global concern; however, little is known about the nature of available interventions. The current study aims to review the literature on the nature and effectiveness of nightlife-related sexual harm interventions. A systematic literature search of six databases was conducted to identify records that were published between 1970 and June 2023 and reported approaches that aimed to reduce or prevent nightlife-related sexual harm. Records were included if they theorized, discussed, or evaluated an intervention, prevention or response strategy; however, individual safety strategies were excluded. Results were categorized according to intervention type. Thirty-five peer-reviewed journal articles and 16 gray literature records were identified. The most common nightlife-related sexual harm intervention strategies covered by the literature included targeted policies, laws, and regulations, bystander interventions, and awareness-raising campaigns. Literature in the area is increasing, with the majority of the articles (77.1%) being published in the previous six years; however, there are very few interventions that have been critically evaluated (22.9%). Promising areas for intervention include targeted alcohol regulations (e.g., lockout policies), venue-level policies, and environmental interventions. However, an increase in rigorous evaluative practices is urgently required to ensure future interventions are based on sound theoretical work and empirical evidence.

Obtaining the best igRNAs for bystander-less correction of all ABE-reversible pathogenic SNVs using high-throughput screening.

Imperfect -gRNA (igRNA) provides a simple strategy for single-base editing of a base editor. However, a significant number of igRNAs need to be generated and tested for each target locus to achieve efficient single-base reversion of pathogenic single nucleotide variations (SNVs), which hinders the direct application of this technology. To provide ready-to-use igRNAs for single-base and bystander-less correction of all the adenine base editor (ABE)-reversible pathogenic SNVs, we employed a high-throughput method to edit all 5,253 known ABE-reversible pathogenic SNVs, each with multiple systematically designed igRNAs, and two libraries of 96,000 igRNAs were tested. A total of 1,988 SNV loci could be single-base reversed by igRNA with a >30% efficiency. Among these 1,988 loci, 378 SNV loci exhibited an efficiency of more than 90%. At the same time, the bystander editing efficiency of 76.62% of the SNV loci was reduced to 0%, while remaining below 1% for another 18.93% of the loci. These ready-to-use igRNAs provided the best solutions for a substantial portion of the 4,657 pathogenic/likely pathogenic SNVs. In this work, we overcame one of the most significant obstacles of base editors and provide a ready-to-use platform for the genetic treatment of diseases caused by ABE-reversible SNVs.
