Abstract Several studies show that the immunosuppressive drugs targeting interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor, including tocilizumab, ameliorate lethal inflammatory responses in COVID-19 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Here, by employing single-cell analysis of immune cell composition two severe-stage prior to and following tocilizumab-induced remission, we identify a monocyte subpopulation contributes cytokine storms. Furthermore, although tocilizumab treatment attenuates inflammation, cells,...

Abstract Maintaining homeostasis of the decidual immune microenvironment at maternal–fetal interface is essential for placentation and reproductive success. Although distinct cell subpopulations have been identified under normal conditions, systematic understanding spectrum heterogeneity leukocytes recurrent miscarriage in human deciduas remains unclear. To address this, we profiled respective transcriptomes 18,646 primary cells isolated from patients with pregnancy loss (RPL) healthy...

A central question in Wnt signaling is the regulation of beta-catenin phosphorylation and degradation. Multiple kinases, including CKI alpha GSK3, are involved phosphorylation. Protein phosphatases such as PP2A PP1 have been implicated beta-catenin. However, which phosphatase dephosphorylates vivo how specificity dephosphorylation regulated not clear. In this study, we show that regulates degradation vivo. We demonstrate required for Wnt/beta-catenin Drosophila. Moreover, identified PR55...

Wnt signaling plays important roles in development and tumorigenesis. A central question about the pathway is regulation of β-catenin. Phosphorylation β-catenin by CK1α GSK3 promotes binding to β-TrCP, leading degradation through proteasome. The phosphorylation ubiquitination have been well characterized; however, it unknown whether how a deubiquitinase involved. In this study, screening RNA interference (RNAi) libraries, we identified USP47 as that prevents ubiquitination. Inactivation RNAi...

Genome-wide association studies indicate that many disease susceptibility regions reside in non-protein-coding of the genome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a major component genome, but their biological impacts not fully understood. Here, we performed CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) screen on 2263 epidermis-expressed lncRNAs and identified nine novel candidate regulating keratinocyte proliferation. We further characterized top hit from screen, progenitor renewal associated non-coding RNA (...

In normal intestine, KLF4 predominantly expressed differentiated cells. It has been identified as tumor suppressor colorectal cancer. knockout mice demonstrated decrease number of goblet cells colon, conditional ablation from intestinal epithelium led to altered homeostasis. However, colon cancer...

Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome regulates innate immune and inflammatory responses by promoting caspase1‐dependent induction of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. However, aberrant activation causes diverse diseases, thus activity must be tightly controlled. Here, we reveal a molecular mechanism underlying the regulation inflammasome. interacts with SUMO‐conjugating enzyme (UBC9), which subsequently promotes small ubiquitin‐like modifier 1 (SUMO1) to catalyze SUMOylation at residue Lys 204 ....

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) has been revealed to be associated with the progression of various cancers. However, biological roles GAS5 in esophageal cancer (EC) remain unclear. We aimed thoroughly explore functions EC. The results showed that expression was increased EC cells (ECA109, TE-1, TE-3, and EC9706) compared SHEE cells.

Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a disease at the intersection of autoimmunity and fibrosis. However, epigenetic regulation contributions diverse cell types to SSc remain unclear. Here we survey, using ATAC-seq, active DNA regulatory elements eight primary cells in normal skin from healthy controls, as well clinically affected unaffected patients. We find that accessible skin-resident dendritic (DCs) exhibit highest enrichment SSc-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) predict...

Although mitotic chromosomes are highly compacted and transcriptionally inert, some active chromatin features retained during mitosis to ensure the proper postmitotic reestablishment of maternal transcriptional programs, a phenomenon termed "mitotic bookmarking." However, dynamics regulation bookmarking have not been systemically surveyed. Using single-cell transposase-accessible sequencing (scATAC-seq), we examined 6538 L02 human liver cells variable stages found that accessibility remained...
