Chromatin contains not only heterochromatin(HC) and euchromatins(EC) but also facultative heterochromatin(f HC), which experience the dynamic remodeling between HCs and ECs by different regulators. The regulation of f HCs involves lots of different cell functions, like genomic stability and gene transcription. Heterochromatin protein 1(HP1) recognizes methylated H3K9 and reshapes the chromatin into the f HCs through liquid–liquid phase separation(LLPS). Among the three members of the HP1 family, HP1α can condensate by itself and HP1β forms granules with the help of TRIM28, while the HP1γ cannot phase separation alone either and the coordinator is still unclear. So, in this study, we investigated the molecular mechanism of how HP1γ interacts with TRIM66 through Px Vx L motif. Based on that, we examined the key regions that controlled the TRIM66-HP1γ co-phase separation behaviors both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we proved that the liquid granules of TRIM66-HP1γ and chromatin highly correlated with H3K9me3 sites, which indicated the relationship with DNA damage response. Finally, combined with our previous study, we proposed the system for how TRIM66 remodeled the chromatin into compressed f HC through the TRIM66-HP1γ-H3K9me3 axis with liquid–liquid phase separation.

Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of dynamic biological processes in deep tissue remains challenging due to the trade-off between temporal resolution and imaging depth. Here, we present a novel near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 900–1880nm) fluorescence volumetric microscopic imaging method that combines an electrically tunable lens (ETL) with deep learning approaches for rapid 3D imaging. The technology achieves volumetric imaging at 4.2 frames per second (fps) across a 200 μm depth range in live mouse brain vasculature. Two specialized neural networks are utilized: a scale-recurrent network (SRN) for image enhancement and a cerebral vessel interpolation (CVI) network that enables 16-fold axial upsampling. The SRN, trained on two-photon fluorescence microscopic data, improves both lateral and axial resolution of NIR-II fluorescence wide-field microscopic images. The CVI network, adapted from video interpolation techniques, generates intermediate frames between acquired axial planes, resulting in smooth and continuous 3D vessel reconstructions. Using this integrated system, we visualize and quantify blood flow dynamics in individual vessels and are capable of measuring blood velocity at different depths. This approach maintains high lateral resolution while achieving rapid volumetric imaging, and is particularly suitable for studying dynamic vascular processes in deep tissue. Our method demonstrates the potential of combining optical engineering with artificial intelligence to advance biological imaging capabilities.
