Abstract Background Wnt/β-catenin signaling is critical for lung development and AT2 stem cell maintenance in adults, but excessive pathway activation has been associated with pulmonary fibrosis, both animal models human diseases such as idiopathic fibrosis (IPF). IPF a detrimental interstitial disease, although two approved drugs limit functional decline, transplantation the only treatment that extends survival, highlighting need regenerative therapies. Methods Using our antibody-based...
NK cells rapidly kill tumor cells, virus infected and even self cells. This is mediated via killer receptors, among which NKp46 (NCR1 in mice) prominent. We have recently demonstrated that type 1 diabetes (T1D) accumulate the diseased pancreas they manifest a hyporesponsive phenotype. In addition, we found recognizes an unknown ligand expressed by beta derived from humans mice blocking of activity prevented development. Here investigated properties ligand. show mainly located insulin...
Lung development, integrity and repair rely on precise Wnt signaling, which is corrupted in diverse diseases, including cancer. Here, we discover that EHMT2 methyltransferase regulates signaling the lung by controlling transcriptional activity of chromatin-bound β-catenin, through a non-histone substrate mouse lung. Inhibition induces transcriptional, morphologic, molecular changes consistent with alveolar type 2 (AT2) lineage commitment. Mechanistically, functions to support regenerative...
