Renal fibrosis is widely considered a common mechanism leading to end-stage renal failure. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays important roles in the pathogenesis of fibrosis. Runt-related transcription factor 1(RUNX1) vital role hematopoiesis via Endothelial-to-Hematopoietic Transition (EHT), process that conceptually similar EMT, but its EMT and unclear. Here, we demonstrate RUNX1 overexpressed processes TGF-β-induced partial expression level SMAD3-dependent. Knockdown...

Sepsis is a high-mortality disease without effective therapeutic options. The hyperactivation of the monocyte-macrophage system, especially M1 macrophages, triggers onset septic shock. Gentiopicroside (GENT), main active component in traditional Chinese medicinal herb Radix Gentianae, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Nevertheless, this effect not fully elucidated.In vitro, we stimulated primary bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) or peritoneal elucidated (PEMs) by...

The helper-like ILC contains various functional subsets, such as ILC1, ILC2, ILC3 and LTi cells, mediating the immune responses against viruses, parasites, extracellular bacteria, respectively. Among them, cells are also crucial for formation of peripheral lymphoid tissues, lymph nodes. Our research, along with others', indicates a high proportion in fetal pool, which significantly decreases after birth. Conversely, non-LTi ILCs increases postnatally, corresponding to need mediate tissue...

Summary Podocytes, the main target of immune complex, participate actively in development glomerular injury as cells. Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) is an innate molecular that has recognition function, and involved mediation cell immunoregulation. Here we explored expression DC-SIGN on podocytes its role inflammatory responses lupus nephritis (LN). Expression immunoglobulin (Ig)G1 was observed glomeruli LN patients. co-expressed...

The development of distinct dendritic cell (DC) subsets, namely, plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and conventional DC subsets (cDC1s cDC2s), is controlled by specific transcription factors. IRF8 essential for the fate specification cDC1s. However, how expression Irf8 regulated not fully understood. In this study, we identified TRIM33 as a critical regulator differentiation maintenance. deletion in Trim33fl/fl Cre-ERT2 mice significantly impaired from hematopoietic progenitors at different...

Abstract Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the primary lung-resident that play a pivotal role in pathogen clearance and surfactant homeostasis. The precise molecular mechanisms maintaining AM homeostasis remain incompletely understood. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1 2 pleiotropic enzymes removing acetyl moieties from histone proteins, facilitating transcriptional repression via chromatin condensation. Hdac1 Hdac2 exhibit broad tissue distribution modulate various cellular processes across...

SUMMARY Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis. The dynamic composition of ILC subsets during ontogeny has been observed over a decade, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we combined differentiation assay and scRNA-seq analysis to compare fetal adult development, assessed their contribution change subsets. We revealed preference LTi cell in hematopoietic progenitors, contrasted with non-LTi bias stages. Our analyses...
