Dendritic cell Piezo1 directs the differentiation of TH1 and Treg cells in cancer

eLife, 2022
Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in anti-tumor immunity by inducing T cell differentiation. Herein, we found that the DC mechanical sensor Piezo1 stimulated by mechanical stiffness or inflammatory signals directs the reciprocal ...

TGF-β signaling alters H4K20me3 status via miR-29 and contributes to cellular senescence and cardiac aging

Nature Communications, 2018
Cellular senescence is associated with epigenetic remodeling. Here, the authors report that TGF-β signaling promotes miR-29 mediated loss of H4K20me3 thus accelerating senescence.

Role of Vitamin K-Dependent Factors Protein S and GAS6 and TAM Receptors in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and COVID-19-Associated Immunothrombosis

Cells, 2020
The vitamin K-dependent factors protein S (PROS1) and growth-arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6) and their tyrosine kinase receptors TYRO3, AXL, and MERTK, the TAM subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), are key regulators of inflammation and vascular ...

A Novel Acyl-AcpM-Binding Protein Confers Intrinsic Sensitivity to Fatty Acid Synthase Type II Inhibitors in Mycobacterium smegmatis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The fatty acid synthase type II (FAS-II) multienzyme system is the main target of drugs to inhibit mycolic acid synthesis in mycobacterium. Meromycolate extension acyl carrier protein (AcpM) serves as the carrier of fatty acyl chain shuttling among the ...

Hierarchical assembly of centriole subdistal appendages via centrosome binding proteins CCDC120 and CCDC68

Nature Communications, 2017
Centriole subdistal appendages (SDAs) anchor microtubules in interphase cells, but their composition and assembly mechanisms are unclear. Here the authors show that two new SDA components, CCDC120 and CCDC68, are required for hierarchical SDA assembly ...

Temporospatial induction of homeodomain gene cut dictates natural lineage reprogramming

eLife, 2018
Understanding how cellular identity naturally interconverts with high efficiency and temporospatial precision is crucial for regenerative medicine. Here, we revealed a natural midgut-to-renal lineage conversion event during Drosophila metamorphosis and ...
