Abstract As a widely used cancer drug, carboplatin often results in serious side effects, such as gut toxicity. In this study, we examined the effects of microbiota on mice with carboplatin-induced intestinal mucosal damage. Carboplatin resulted mucositis, indicated by weight loss, diarrhoea, and infiltration inflammatory cells. It markedly increased expression cytokines/chemokines intestine. also altered diversity composition microbiota. A significantly higher abundance Prevotella copri (...
Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is an important tumor suppressor and mostly linked to the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. APC mutation has been identified as early event in more than 80% sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs). Moreover, prognostic differences are observed CRC patients with mutations. Although previous genomics studies have investigated roles concomitant gene mutations determining phenotypic heterogeneity APC-mutant tumors, valuable determinants for still lacking....
Numerous patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) manifest severe syndromes, including elevated synovial fluid volumes (SF) abundant immune cells, which can be controlled by TNF/JAK inhibitors. Here, we apply single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and subsequent validations in SF from RA patients. These analyses of tissue show reduced density SF-derived pathogenic cells (e.g., SPP1+ macrophages CXCL13+CD4+ T cells), altered gene expression SPP1 STAT1), molecular pathway changes JAK/STAT),...
The gut microbiota crucially regulates the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) based immunotherapy, but underlying mechanisms remain unclear at single-cell resolution. Using RNA sequencing and subsequent validations, we investigate microbiota-ICI synergy by profiling tumor microenvironment (TME) elucidating critical cellular interactions in mouse models. Our findings reveal that intact combined with ICIs may synergistically increase proportions CD8+, CD4+, γδ T cells, reduce...
Abstract B-cell targeted therapy is effective for autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), although there are setbacks in RA clinical trials. In this study, we designed a novel activating factor (BAFF) antagonist: BAFF-Trap, recombinant glycoprotein with BAFF-binding domains of two BAFF receptors (TACI Br3) linked to Fc domain human IgG1. Unlike TACI-Fc, BAFF-Trap bound but not APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand), significantly suppressed...
Abstract Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can crucially regulate activation and transformation of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) but have not been systematically investigated at single cell resolution. Here, by utilizing integrated single‐cell sequencing datasets, we screened the aberrantly expressed lncRNAs in CAFs, which are major component tumor microenvironment. Our findings revealed a consistent CAF‐specific downregulation Maternally Expressed Gene 3 (MEG3) expression increased MEG3...
