    Abstract: DNA hypomethylation is a feature of epidermal cells from aged and sun-exposed skin, but the mechanisms responsible for this methylation loss are not known. Dnmt3a is the dominant de novo DNA methyltransferase in the skin; while epidermal Dnmt3a deficiency creates a premalignant state in which keratinocytes are more easily transformed by topical mutagens, the conditions responsible for this increased susceptibility to transformation are not well understood. Using whole genome bisulfite sequencing, we identified a focal, canonical DNA hypomethylation phenotype in the epidermal cells of Dnmt3a-deficient mice. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis revealed an increased proportion of cells with a proliferative gene expression signature, while other populations in the skin were relatively unchanged. Although total DNMT3A deficiency has not been described in human disease states, rare patients with an overgrowth syndrome associated with behavioral abnormalities and an increased risk of cancer often have heterozygous, germline mutations in DNMT3A that reduce its function (Tatton-Brown Rahman syndrome [TBRS]). We evaluated the DNA methylation phenotype of the skin from a TBRS patient with a germline DNMT3A R882H mutation, which encodes a dominant-negative protein that reduces its methyltransferase function by ∼80%. We detected a focal, canonical hypomethylation phenotype that revealed considerable overlap with hypomethylated regions found in Dnmt3a-deficient mouse skin. Together, these data suggest that DNMT3A loss creates a premalignant epigenetic state associated with a hyperproliferative phenotype in the skin and further suggest that DNMT3A acts as a tumor suppressor in the skin.

    Reactive and proactive control processes in voluntary task choice

    Abstract: Deciding which task to perform when multiple tasks are available can be influenced by external influences in the environment. In the present study, we demonstrate that such external biases on task-choice behavior reflect reactive control adjustments instead of a failure in control to internally select a task goal. Specifically, in two experiments we delayed the onset of one of two task stimuli by a short (50 ms), medium (300 ms), or long (1,000 ms) stimulus-onset asynchrony (SOA) within blocks while also varying the relative frequencies of short versus long SOAs across blocks (i.e., short SOA frequent vs. long SOA frequent). Participants’ task choices were increasingly biased towards selecting the task associated with the first stimulus with increasing SOAs. Critically, both experiments also revealed that the short-to-medium SOA bias was larger in blocks with more frequent long SOAs when participants had limited time to prepare for an upcoming trial. When time to select an upcoming task was extended in Experiment 2, this interaction was not significant, suggesting that the extent to which people rely on reactive control adjustments is additionally modulated by proactive control processes. Thus, the present findings also suggest that voluntary task choices are jointly guided by both proactive and reactive processes, which are likely to adjust the relative activation of different task goals in working memory.

    Abstract: Finding communication strategies that effectively motivate social distancing continues to be a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-country, preregistered experiment ( n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-supportive message) or were restrictive and shaming (i.e., a controlling message) compared with no message at all. Results partially supported experimental hypotheses in that the controlling message increased controlled motivation (a poorly internalized form of motivation relying on shame, guilt, and fear of social consequences) relative to no message. On the other hand, the autonomy-supportive message lowered feelings of defiance compared with the controlling message, but the controlling message did not differ from receiving no message at all. Unexpectedly, messages did not influence autonomous motivation (a highly internalized form of motivation relying on one’s core values) or behavioral intentions. Results supported hypothesized associations between people’s existing autonomous and controlled motivations and self-reported behavioral intentions to engage in social distancing. Controlled motivation was associated with more defiance and less long-term behavioral intention to engage in social distancing, whereas autonomous motivation was associated with less defiance and more short- and long-term intentions to social distance. Overall, this work highlights the potential harm of using shaming and pressuring language in public health communication, with implications for the current and future global health challenges.
